You knew that time was running out and seeing that you have a greater chance of picking one of the positive transformations, you select the first option…In Minbari it says ‘Es Felisil—Sae Valzha’bar Torr.’ Not sure what you’ve gotten yourself into…you press this option and look at the Minbari to see if you choose wisely.
The Minbari looks at your choice and smiles with a satisfying nod. “You choose wisely…but like your last advancement…nothing will happen for awhile…but rest assure…this choice will soon come to pass by the time this month is over!”
“What do the words mean?” you ask.
“All in time…right now you are scheduled for your final transformation…follow me.” Says the Minbari as she leads you through the ship to your next room. As you both walk through the vessel, the alarms of the ship alert both of you that enemy ships are in firing range. You freeze in horror as the young Minbari grabs your hand to hurry to a more secure part of the ship.
Outside the Minbari vessel are a half a dozen earth destroyers that have been tracking down this vessel since the first attack happen on earth. They give no courter to the Minbari vessel as they open fire on the alien ship. The Minbari vessel, not equipped to fight this many ships turns to aim its self defense gunnery at the alien crafts. As the earth ships keep picking away at the ship, there is another chime ringing throughout the ship and now both you and the young Minbari stop as other Minbari run all about, some with blood gushing out of open wounds, others dead from falling debris and from their terminal injuries.
“What is going on?” you ask, remembering your own experience with a Minbari war vessel.
Another Minbari runs up to the one who is helping you, he says to the female Minbari, “Nu wi’mar ai’ darsam me’lir, be’tri, ai’ ardri…kaff!” (You have an obligation to take, to protect, and to live…go!)
The female Minbari nods and places her hand in the center of the male Minbari’s chest and they both nod, “Me’lir cal’ri ah’ fel.” (Take Care My Love) says the female Minbari with tears in her eyes.
The scariest part of it all was that you were able to fully understand Minbari…but also know that the Minbari language is a bit choppy unlike human language which flows together like a song. You look at the young Minbari, “Is he your lover?”
The Minbari looks at you, her face pale from hearing the question you ask. “Yes…” the Minbari looks back then looks forward, “We need to hurry!”
Running through the debris filled hallways proved to be somewhat challenging, but as the earth vessels continue to make waste to the Minbari science vessel, one of the beams hits the sector both of you are in and as the decompression throws you off your feet, you land on your side while the Minbari lands on a shard piece of metal that sliced right through her right side of her chest.
You look over at the Minbari and crawl over to her side, she looks at you, tries to speak, but all that comes out is saliva and blood. As her eyes freeze in one place and her chest ceases to rise, she is dead.
What do you do now?
