Chapter 112 - Tea

Once, about three hundred years before he'd gone into stasis, Eventus had visited the city ship Penglai. Where he had been entertained by a ninety three thousand year old man by the name of Shennong who ...

Sisko had called an emergency senior staff meeting almost immediately after Raine had informed him about their surprise guest. Something which had run into a bit of a problem in that everyone outside of Kira and Odo had arranged to take today off to recover from the party.

Which was why it had taken nea...

“You were in the Olympics?” Eventus repeated in surprise.

“Ninteen eighty four, I won the silver medal in archery.” Xiaoyi confirmed, smiling fondly at the memory. “I was able to ply that into a scholarship to Nankai university. Which is where I spent the next rather uneventful four years earning my degree in psychol...

Stylistically the inside of the villa matched the outside with its mix of classic Chinese with muted modern touches like electricity and plumbing. Both of which Eventus rather appreciated given the number of pre-industrial civilizations whose towns he'd had to stay in over the centuries.

“Would there be anything else you need?” Zou Fu pu...

There was a small procession of people waiting for them next to the clearly outlined landing zone. A moderately interesting choice given the Chinese government couldn't have been sure which of their approved destinations he had chosen until he lowered the jumpers cloak.

“Honestly, I'd go for it.” Raine told Morn as the transporter finished returning them to one of the civilian access transporter platforms on Deep Space Nine's promenade.

The Lurian opened his mouth to speak and Raine held up a hand to forestall him from rehashing the argument again. “I know, you're...

The Chinese government had given Eventus permission for an orbital entry vector into their airspace. Which turned what would have been a roughly eight hour trip into one that barely took them an hour.

“Do you ever get tired of it?” Xiaoyi asked softly as the Jumper began to dip back into the Earth's atmosphere.

“Still can't believe you won't let me go with you.” Rayla sulked as Eventus packed back up the last of human style clothing from their shared room at the SGC.

“We've been over this already, Rayla.” Eventus sighed, pretty sure the Elf was just complaining to complain at this point. “China has a face based authoritarian government, and t...

The trek from the secondary control room to the computer core alongside copying of the database had taken Eventus less than fifteen minutes. Which meant he had been translocated onto the bridge before the rest of SG1 had even been able to finish docking and make it up there themselves.

Who he had not beaten, was the pair of medical officers that were in ...

The unimaginably named Myriad Station had been designed with the express purpose of punching temporary holes between dimensional layers.

It wasn’t particularly surprising that Pendergast hadn’t wanted to take the Prometheus into the station’s docking bay. After all, such an enclosed location would functionally neuter their vessels offensive capabilities.

When Eventus had set out to investigate Earth’s solar system it had been more of a “why not” sort of thing, and he honestly hadn’t expected to find much more than the few defunct facilities he’d located with the outpost. And despite his warning to various people that Janus was probably still out there somewhere, he really hadn’t expe...
