A New Day on the Horizon

The subtle sound of water being moved only by telekinesis registered only barely in Corizon’s thought patterns. And though he smiled and appeared to be attentively watching the display of the Satarimi’s impressive mental prowess, he was lost deep in thought.

 

The meetings with the Satarimi Arch-Prime Council had gone well, better than he’d expected actually. He’d found them helpful, efficient and wise. They brought a depth to conversations he found missing from most that involved career politicians. They’d even managed to mostly neutralize the pompous exasperation of Lexin.

 

However, the information they’d imparted was much less agreeable. First there was the revelation that they did not possess the communicator or the knowledge of the whereabouts of the Founders. Not that he was entirely surprised; still it hadn’t stopped him from being mildly disappointed. Then came what they imparted about the Cult of Iyves, the people who’d exterminated an entire squadron of his fighter pilots just a few weeks prior.

 

From what he extrapolated, they were a group of, surprise, religious fanatics who worshiped the deity Iyves, whom demanded the sacrifice of blood. According the Satarimi, in actuality, the Cult used the blood of aliens for a host of genetic experiments for who knows what purposes. Worse, the Cult operated more heavily in the nearby sectors of space; where there was no single dominate power to keep them in check.

 

The more positive news, though, was that they rarely operated within Satarimi space, and that the Satarimi had located one of their primary operation centers; so if he wanted to go do some inspecting, he could. Another positive note was that the Satarimi believed they might have some records on the period of Dominion history in question. They’d been one of the few worlds that the Founders had willingly negotiated with, perhaps because they weren’t sure they could dominate them as they had just about everyone they encountered.

 

A downside there was that they would have to consult their historical archives, and how long that might take was ambiguous at best. At any rate, it had given him plenty to think about, and even though the rainshaping was spectacular, it wasn’t enough to draw his conscious thoughts from the revelations of the first day of talks.

 

The evening had begun to wind to a close, and members of the Excalibur crew were beginning to disperse. Silently, Corizon had slunk off to the transporter coordinated and headed back to the solace of his quarters. He had several dozen reports to file, and one to compile from his first day of meetings and another day loomed on the horizon.
