Running a hand over his head, Benjamin Sisko considered his new look in the small bathrooms mirror. He'd been thinking of changing things up for awhile, but every time he considered it he'd remember the various compliments Jennifer had given him about his hair, or her general dislike of beards.
“What do you think?” He asked, turning to the chair Jake had claimed for his own. “Keep it as is...

Chapter 156 - Ancestor's Lament
Stepping up to the main control console, Eventus wasn't even remotely surprised when a hologram flickered to life in front of the crystalline pillar.
The tan dark haired woman that appeared was familiar to Eventus from his recent trek to the Antarctic outpost, though her holographic appearance had a number of clear suggestions that she was under heavy stress that had been absent from those recordings.
"Whoever you may be, know that I am ...

Chapter 155 - Walking Softly
Having spent the entirety of his moderately enjoyable meal of roasted lizard flank watching Teal’c and Ishta strategically dance around each other. Eventually they had reached the rather amusing point of the night where it was clear both of the pair wanted to have a private conversation but didn’t want to be the one to actually bring it up as an option.
Which played into what Eventus needed perfectly, so, waiting for Ishta to step away to get...

An almost ephemeral beat of a heart was the only thing that existed in his mind besides pain.
Ba-dump
A pain so overwhelming that no other feeling seemed able to penetrate the consciousness of his mind.

So he clung to the heart beat, refusing to let go of the sound lest his consciousness fade completely.

Chapter 154 - Self Inflected Pains
Somehow Eventus just knew that somewhere in the higher dimensional plans one or more Ascended beings were taking great joy at his current self-inflicted misery. Because the Jaffa were amazingly even worse at coming to political agreements with each other than the humans had been.
The first hour of them arguing had been annoying but understandable given everything they had facing them. The second hour had seen an annoyed Ishta walk out, something ...

The bevy of staff weapons and zat'nik'tel's that had been raised by the guards and certain members of the high council stayed pointed at him. A precaution Eventus couldn't really fault them for given they'd just watched a brief but intense battle between what was effectively two super powered combatants
“Are you well, Eventus?” Bra'tac inquired in concern, his words seemingly enough for the high councilors who had drawn them to stow their pistol-like w...

Plopping down into the chair of her temporary room, Raine let out an exhausted sigh as the frantic tension of the past week finally began to bleed out of her.
The Defiant was currently speeding its way back to Deep Space Nine at maximum warp. A necessary sacrifice for the engines as the length of their unofficial mission to Orion had put them painfully close to the date of their first joint vent...

Chapter 152 - Ancient Confrontations
Statistically speaking Eventus had known it was only a matter of time before he encountered one of the Ori’s servants. But he had rather hoped that time would be at the helm of the Enterprise during one of the Ori's attempts to invade their galaxy.
“I want it on the record that he just acknowledged me as being an Ancient.” Eventus said, dragging his hands away from his sidearm to point at the placidly staring Prior.

Unfortunately they had not ended up stopping somewhere so Teal’c could pick up an apology gift, something Eventus was somewhat disappointed about given his desire to see just how the Jaffa as a people handled the day to day complexities of normal life.
So they had made their way to the high council chambers, at which point he had been shuffled off to one of the room’s small adjacent antechambers to wait for the high council itself to actually gather...

Chapter 150 - Measures of a Man
Eventus had been more than happy to take the older Jaffa up on his offer of a seat, as he’d long ago learned that when a politician said they would be right with you, what they really tended to mean was that they would be right with you once they finished whatever they had been busy with when you had come in.
“Apologies.” Bra’tac said as he spent a few seconds arranging the various papers on the table in front of him into some sort of ge...

The next morning had come quicker than he would have liked after the discovery of his amplifier induced electrokinesis. But dealing with the Jaffa Nation took precedence over his own desire to experiment, and that was likely to be a lot more trying than dealing with Earth politicians.
So Eventus had managed a good six hours sleep, and had been up and ready to go at the gate embarkation room by seven sharp to meet Teal’c as he’d co...

Having returned Rayla to their shared room, Eventus had begged the use of a secure testing lab so he could go over the psionic amplifier. Thankfully the pair of General’s on the base hadn’t overly objected to the idea, though they did have a couple requirements of their that they wanted to throw in.
Which in this case had been that the testing be overseen by a pair of the SGC’s most esteemed scientists.

Chapter 139 - Returning Home
A ship's warp drive couldn’t be engaged in an atmosphere, at least, not so long as the person piloting it wanted the ship to stay intact. Which meant their stolen Orion vessel needed to reach the planet's exosphere before they could engage its drive and escape to the rendezvous point.
Unfortunately that was turning out to be easier said than done, as it seemed Raine had significantly overestimated the Tendi family's care for their current prime daugh...

With the gifts handed out Eventus had explained the situation with their Goa’uld guest to Rayla, who had been more than happy to lend a hand watching over her. Which had led to them gathering up a few necessities for the woman, and then heading down to the impromptu gate ship hanger where a handful of bored looking soldiers were still watching over the similarly bored looking Yami.
“Rayla.” Eventus said, motioning to the seated Goa'uld. “M...

Ten thousand years ago, before the Wraith war, when there had been nearly a billion of his people walking amongst the stars, Psionic Amplifiers had been so rare that there had been less than a hundred known to exist within the entire Pegasus galaxy.
Officially nine people had held the knowledge needed to construct new ones, each the current elected leader of the nine city ships. With an additional copy held within the secret High Council archi...

Eventus twitched slightly as the distinctive feeling of a suppression field washed over him, and he frowned at the pair sharing the elevator cab with him.
“Did you activate one of the nullification field generators?”

The frown on Eventus’s face deepened slightly. “It shouldn’t make a per...

It was clear to Benjamin from the first punch that V'inne didn't have any hand to hand training of note. What he did have however was a good fifteen centimeters of height, and a good ten kilograms of muscle. So when the punch came in, Benjamin made sure to dodge it.
The large Orion barely grunted when Benjamin's follow up punch landed in his gut, though the right hook to his chin at least made him stumble back a step.

Enough of what Yami said matched up with what Eventus already knew about what was going on with the Goa'uld that he couldn't immediately discount her surrender as some complex trap. After all, the Jaffa were actively hunting all Goa'uld for execution, not just the former System and Under lords. While the humans of Earth would likely hand her over to the Tok'ra to be disappeared as a follow up to freeing the host.

Almost all of which had various problems of one type or another that made them less than useful for galactic communication.
Psychic energy based communication by its very nature couldn’t be encrypted or hidden. Negative m...
