Counselor R'Ariel: ~Release!~

[R'Ariel]

(( Another Plane In Theta))

R'Ariel: ~Let me explain the choice.  This is not a yes or no, it is a choice to do the right thing willingly or be compelled to.~

The little four foot sopping wet Caitian-Deltan, unaware of her precarious small form bobbing up and down in the pool, was in her mind standing 10 feet tall, toe-to-toe with this Iconian.  The potential losses of her new family from the USS Arrow, was unacceptable... whether or not she could actually do anything about it, she 'felt' empowered to draw the line in the sand now.

~If I have to, I WILL stop you!~

She had never felt so powerful.  Was there something about the use of lives channeling this gate-connected plane?  Were all her empathic/telepathic siblings who had died in her place in the womb, were they somehow connected here, creating this new her?  Was it all a false image of herself, and she was about to commit the ultimate sacrifice for her friends, for her Arrow family and all these villagers?  She didn't know, and somehow, these thoughts were not for her present.  Another figure in this saga, a major figure entered the stage for what felt like a final act?

Morgan: Great Thet of Iconia! I stand before you a humble man. I have aided you in your quest to return home, and I seek to make good on my word.

She looked at the village leader.  He felt different, he looked different.  Of course everyone looked different with her eyesight still not returned in the physical sense.

Collins/DeBarres/Kal: Response

Morgan: My path is clear. I got everyone into this. It is my debt to settle.  Spare these men and women. I have the energy you require!

He was radiant with energy!

Collins/DeBarres/Kal: Response

Morgan: My fate is as it should be. The resulting blast should give you enough power.

Just like that, her focused plan to preventing any more life loss was vaporizing.  She couldn't stop him, but she could help?  An Empathic connection from her to this energy release, should help connect to the villager's minds.

oO Maybe. Oo

Maybe, it would even do the impossible and protect this Morgan, by taking the channeling from physical to something more... she would have to try.

Morgan: Be at peace, Brothers.

~Release!~

The explosion, her own empathic blast, and all she had telepathically to deliver.  Maybe it would work, maybe it wouldn't.  Maybe she was just deluding herself to the role she could play in all this, but as Morgan's blast erupted, so did her own mental blast.  Then Morgan was gone... and so was the Iconian's control.
