Chapter 178 - Janus’s Return - Part 4
“Now that is impressive.” Janus muttered under his breath as he took in the panoramic view of the Asuran eperopolis for a moment before turning to Eventus. “The Asuran network shouldn’t have had data needed to accurately recreate our technology to this level. I wonder whether they recovered a database from somewhere or if it’s just a surface level duplication.”
“Scans Thor took of the planet suggest potentia existence with a ca...

Chapter 177 - Janus’s Return - Part 3
After spending the night as Janus's jailer, Eventus had quickly come to realize that he had made a grave mistake in bringing the scientist back around so many hours before the Asuran's would be ready for the two of them to head down to their world.
Because it meant spending time with Janus, and the scientists was almost everything Eventus had disliked about his people’s general attitude rolled into a single package.

“The return of the Orb of Wisdom by Grand Nagus Zek is believed by some in the Vedek assembly to be a reminder from the Prophets that the words of the Cardassians can never be taken at face value. And as a result, new calls have begun for First Minister Li Nalas to demand the return of the remaining Orbs before entertaining any further ideas of cooperation between Bajor and the Cardassian Union.”

“And you're just going to hand me over to them?” Janus demanded as Eventus finished explaining the Asuran situation.
“With their base code intact the worst they can do to you is throw you into a moderately comfortable hole.” Eventus countered, letting the annoyance he was feeling seep into his voice. “And truth be told, that's a better fate than you deserve given you were designing an army of brainwashed bioweapons.”

The room the Asgard were storing Janus's cryopod in was, for all intents and purposes, completely inaccessible by any manner other than Asgard transporter. A level of precaution Eventus could appreciate given the steps he was planning on taking to secure Janus after walking him.”
“Are you sure you wish to do this?” Thor's hologram asked as it looked down at the cryopod.

“And now if they manage to convert enough of the humans in the Avalon galaxy they'll gain the power needed to wipe out the other Ascended and nothing will be left to stop them acting directly against the rest of the universe.” Eventus finished his retelling, idly wondering if it would be too much to ask if they'd be willing to get him a glass of water or something in that vein.

The chamber Niam led them to was almost a carbon copy of Atlantis's judicial chamber. Which was more than a little telling about just how Oberoth saw this meeting.
Taking into account Oberoth and Niam there were a total of nine Asurans arrayed behind a series of lectern-like desks arranged into the omnipresent seeming horseshoe arrangement that humanoid psychology seemed to favor for those sorts of circumstances.

And as much as he would have appreciated the small feeling o...
