Lazureth, The Seer Smiled, looking at Markuss with black, sightless eyes.
"I see you are observant, Master Jonavich.
However, it is not that simple. We haven't had a member of the crusader order rebel against The Father. Marcus was a high-ranking official and had many resources at his disposal to make his escape, and before the knowledge was made public regarding his actions he was able to deceive his way to the fleet.
The ship he is on is highly valuable to the fleet and we need to avoid destroying it if at all possible. Furthermore we must make our best attempt to take Marcus in alive in order to find out how far his heresy has spread throughout the empire. If we don't we may be subject to surprise attacks from within that could be catastrophic to the crusade and its citizens."

He waved to the screen, keying in on the areas highlighted on the map.

"We have the ship quarantined and suppressed by the surrounding vessels, but it is only a temporary measure and soon enough the ship will regain functionality at which point it will be necessary to destroy it.
We have men prepped and ready to board the vessel within the hour, they will work on disabling the ship and securing the Rogue captain and any accomplices."


"I'll go to the armory and re-arm, and meet them at the assault bays."
Stated Lukas abruptly.

"That will not be necessary, Master Orion. You are too soon returning from combat and have yet to be seen by the apothecaries. I would be unwise to--"
Lazureth, once again was cut off by Lukas.

"No way, if he's on That ship then that's where I'm going. he said, pointing at the holo-screen.
"Even if I haveta swim out there my goddamn self."

Lazureth sat there in quiet contemplation, cupping his chin in between his thumb and forefinger, his forefinger arched over his upper lip.
He cast a glance at Markuss and Lukas, thinking on whether or not do deny his demands.

Lazureth, The Seer stood from the table and nodded. Danika followed suit and stood as well.
"I will allow it.
I know well of your past with Marcus, and what he had done to you during your trials as an upstart, Orion.
Temper your anger into something righteous, do not allow it to poison you as it did Marcus.
You have 30 minutes to re-arm, I will meet you at the assault bays.
Pleased to make your acquaintance, Master Jonavich."


He walked from the bridge, Danika in tow behind him beyond the door and out of sight.

Lukas looked down to his friend, patting him on the shoulder.
"Thanks, bud. It's not often that I've got a bloke to back up my arguments. Let's get rollin' he haven't got a lot of time."
Lukas stood, and began to make his way out of the bridge and to the armory.

Lazureth, The Seer 's voice would then resonate from a speaker in the roof of the room.
"Ah, Master Jonovich. Welcome back to the realm of the living. Regrettably due to your exposure to the demons and the toxin in your system we were forced to quarantine you until we could ascertain the severity of your condition.
Tales of your valor during the operation has spread quite rapidly throughout the monastery and surprisingly enough, beyond its walls as well."

An order screen, raised from the floor as well as a table. A small cup with various pills along with a glass of water.

"Should you need any sustenance, or require assistance you may use the order menu. I will be along in the morning so we may work on clearing you for release. I trust you understand the severity of the situation, it was risky enough bringing you back to the Ark with the possibility of corruption."

The lights began to dim, lowering them to a comfortable level. A bed raised from the floor, large and generously plush with pillows and fine sheets fit for an aristocrat.

"I hope you find the accommodations to your liking. I suggest you get what sleep you can, so we can begin first thing tomorrow morning."

Lazureth, The Seer responded as Markuss made his order.
"Typical procedure for a human infected by demons who lacks the proper conditioning and spiritual training is execution and for the remains to be jettisoned into the nearest star.
But worry not, Danika cleared you for transport and reconstruction here on the Ark at the request of Captain Orion."

With that the order screen confirmed his request and a compartment at one of the room's walls opened and prepped a seating area for the incoming food order.
"In due time, Master Jonovich. For now please enjoy some food and get some rest, we have much work to do in the morning."

Lazureth, The Seer 's boot steps could be heard thudding up the hallway, pausing briefly at the door to markuss' room.

After a moment the door slid open, allowing him to enter.
He was followed by a woman in a white robe worn by the monastery's hospitaliers, and another woman who would be soon recognized as Danika Thorne.
Danika walked over to one of the comfy chairs that sat on the opposite side of the room, facing Markuss.
Lazureth walked towards the center of the room, directing the woman to set her tray of items on a nearby table. There were several implements and wrappings along with some pills and various other medical supplies on the tray. She stood nearby, waiting patiently for Lazureth to speak.

"Good morning, Master Jonovich!" he said, as the lights in the room brightened.
"I hope you have had a good night's rest, how are you feeling?"

Lazureth, The Seer Nodded as he gestured to a seat in front of the nurse.
"Fantastic. If you would, please come have a seat, our friend here will check your wound and replace your bandages."
It seemed as if Lazureth was oblivious to the intended sarcasm.

"Of course, Your belongings will be returned to you as soon as we are done here.
But first, we must evaluate your mental and spiritual state before clearing you for release, to ensure no remnant of the demon lingers in you."

Lazureth, The Seer smiled kindly, taking a seat opposite to Markuss who was now being worked on by the woman who now worked on unwrapping the bandages that concealed the wound.

"It is the nature of demons, master Jonovich. Does a thief or a burglar turn on the lights while he's robbing your house? No. He prefers you to believe that he's not there."

With the bandage finally removed the wound was revealed.
The wound was partially healed, however the flesh around the opening was black, tendrils of dark purple and black veiny marks crept out from the immediate area of the wound.

She began to work on cleaning and redressing the wound as the two continued to talk.

"The evaluation will be conducted by myself, and observed by Miss Thorne.
Unfortunately if you are in some way corrupted or still infected by demonic taint it could threaten to take you under it's control and potentially harm you and others.

Before we begin, have you anything that you wish to tell me? Perhaps any questions concerning what happened on the ship?"

Lazureth, The Seer Nodded.
"We are going to re-trace your memory of what happened, search your soul and scan for any trace of demonic taint.


The woman finished bandaging his wound, handing him a cup of water and the small paper cup that held his pills.
after finishing her job she took her tray, bowed to Markuss, Lazureth and Danika before finally leaving.

"Begin by telling me what you encountered in the control room."

Lazureth, The Seer Nodded as Markuss told his tale, neglecting to mention key points of the experience to him.

"He's lying." Shot the voice of Danika, who still sat in her chair.
"Look at his face, its obvious.."

"Please, Miss Thorne." Said Lazureth as he raised his hand, gesturing for Danika to remain silent.
"You are meant to observe, and to take notes."

"Master Jonovich, in order for me to help you I must know the truth of what transpired in that room, otherwise I cannot in good faith release you from here.
Who or what did you see that night in the room?"

Lazureth, The Seer smiled, leaning back in his chair as he listened to Makuss.

"I believe you when you tell me you saw the creature, Master Jonovich.

However, in your fevered state you spoke of a man, someone you saw in the room. "

The man's black, empty eyes scanned Markuss thoroughly. It felt as if they penetrated his very soul.
The room's temperature began to drop.

"I hoped that we would be able to learn the truth with minimal use of invasive methods, Master Jonovich.
I do not wish to do anything that is against your will, much is owed to you for your deeds upon the ship.
So I ask you to reconsider your answer, perhaps you simply forgot to mention something."

Lazureth, The Seer Nodded, pulling back from his penetrating gaze.

"When I was a boy, many years ago I had a similar experience with the demon you saw.
My father was a clergyman in the local church, a man of faith. Before he died he told me of a creature that stalked him in his dreams, a woman of exceptional, enticing beauty. He warned my of the creatures that stalked the empyrean.
These creature seek to corrupt your thoughts, to lead you astray, and ultimately cause you to embrace darkness.

If you truly believe that what you saw was simply the work of the demon's deceit then you may have protected yourself from it's allure, perhaps avoiding corruption.

If you open your mind to me and show that you are free of it's corruption then I will gladly release you under the guardianship of Captain Orion, who eagerly awaits your release.
I simply need an ounce of trust from you, Master Jonovich.
That's all I need."

closed his eyes as Markuss uttered the last syllable of his joke.
Markuss would then be taken by Lazureth's Psionic powers, transporting him through the memory of the events, as if hitting rewind on a movie.

It paused several times in key areas, first in the vent, being stabbed by the succubus.
He seemed to float above the scene, his sight peering through the walls to see the moment frozen in time.

Lazureth's voice echoed through the infinity of the vision.
"These are the agents that we seek to expunge from the realms of humankind, they are a canker that takes root at the souls of men. they threaten to destroy all of humankind, feeding on the souls of those they corrupt."

It then sped back to the moment in the room, and to Markuss' father.
"This... Is not your father."
As he spoke it seemed as if layers of the man's skin faded away, changed shape and revealed it's true form.
"I am impressed by your ability to resist the demon's attempts to prevent you from fulfilling your duty."

The creature was skinny, lanky and had avian, clawed feet.
Above it's hooked beak was a single, cyclopean eye, it was hunched and sickly looking.

What Markuss failed to see was the spectral tendrils that reached out from the creature, wrapping around him, trying to penetrate his body.

"However, the more you accept it's lies, the further you step into corruption.
It is not your fault, it is admirable that you did not fully succumb to the creature's influence, however your hesitation gave it the opening to infect your mind...."


Suddenly, an unnatural laughing echoed through the infinite, resonating from the sickly doppelganger of Markuss' father.
Below the man's feet crept a flesh-like growth, like vines creeping across the floor, wet sticky noises filled the room as the rampant growth continued and the sinister laughter continued to resonate louder and louder, finally taking control of the vision and forcing both Lazureth and Markuss, returning them both to the Real world.

As they snapped back to reality Lazureth looked to Markuss with grave concern.

"Oh dear, Master Jonavich. I fear that something is growing at the pit of your soul."

He turned to Danika, issuing a stern command.
"Make Diomodes and The Father aware of the situation.

And call the exorcists...

There is a demon aboard the Ark."

Lazureth, The Seer remained calm as Markuss seemed to go into a panic mode.
"Master Jonavich, Is it your wish to die? Because if the creature inside you is not removed it will take you over and when it has achieved control you will be lost forever."
He rubbed his forehead as Danika left the room for a moment to allow the exorcist inside.
The man wore a black robe-like garment over his armor, giving him the look of a monk or priest.
He carried a large tome which was attached to a chain at his waist.
Danika pointed Markuss out to the man and he nodded.

"Why make things worse for yourself? We are trying to save you."

Lazureth, The Seer chuckled, hearing his first response.
"What would you have us do if you were say, bitten by a snake? Pray and hope the venom leaves your body to avoid you discomfort?

No one has shown any aggression towards you, Master Jonavich, certainly not I."


He blinked, thinking about how he should answer the question regarding the process of exorcism.

"Well, the process differs from person to person according to the nature of the infestation and the strength of the demon that inhabits your body.
Anything that would happen to you during an exorcism would be far less physically agonizing than say... transfiguration and full-fledged possession where the demon crafts your flesh into a shape that appeases it. The pain endured when your bones, sinew, and cartilage are torn from their rightful positions and twisted into a corrupt form drives you mad before the process is over."


The exorcist began chanting to himself, reading from the book he held.

Lazureth, The Seer stood from his chair and waved the exorcist away.
"I am not here to force you, Master Jonavich. Unlike some of my colleagues, I do not condone the use of force in matters of faith."
He stood from his chair, turning to walk away.

"It is your own eagerness to join in the operations of the crusade that brought you here. You were warned of the implications of your involvement and now you are somehow astonished that something like this happened?
I will not suffer any more of this childish behavior, good day, Master Jonavich."


He, and the exorcist turned and began to walk from the room.

Lazureth, The Seer Allowed the exorcist to leave before him, pausing at the door a moment.
"We were all human once, Master Jonavich. We all had a family... Once.
We gave those things up, our chance to be human for the betterment of the people. It is our sacrifice, one I wouldn't expect you to understand.

That is why I am allowing you to make the choice for yourself, [b]Markuss
. I am sorry that we could not come to a mutually beneficial outcome.

We will wait for you to pass before we purge the beast."[/b]

He sighed, turned and then exited the room, the door sealing shut behind him.

Lazureth, The Seer Gave Markuss a courteous nod as he approached him handing him his clothing and other personal belongings he had with him when he was admitted to the Ark.

"Well..." he said, exhaling deeply.
"These are some odds and ends made for you by our forge smiths, I'm sure you will find them built to your specifics."

Inside he would find a perfectly balanced blade, as well as a pistol and rifle bearing the crusade's seal upon them. They were weapons fashioned of similar make to the crusaders, however sized for use by normal human beings.

"The other case holds a laurel, and other medals you earned during your part in the campaign.
We honor each deed that leads us to victory, yours included.
Inside will be some standard issue items, including a communicator, which you may use to contact certain individuals with should you ever need assistance.
You will also be assigned a living quarters on the Ark, you have earned your citizenship.

And yes, I will convey the message, Master Jonavich.
Whenever you are ready, I will escort you to the launch bays, the shuttle awaits our arrival."
