Tovan sat on a piece of rock which has been sat on for number of times and by many people since their arrival. The rock was being worn in at ludicrously low pace. No matter, the Vulcan still sat upon it.

 

Unrustling a piece of paper, which he had obtained from S'aar, he looked around him, it was like every day that had passed on the planet from them moment they arrived ... it was quiet.

 

After considerable thought he looked back at the plan that would have worked if the S'aar didn't know we were planning it. But nevertheless such things must be explained or it would likely become someone else's problem, namely the other unfortunate crews of other ships that are unlucky enough to be captured by the S'aar and brought to this planet. And waste away forever.

 

After another, more considerably thoughtful moment, Tovan tried out his original theory which he had developed while talking to Ensign Avani and Commander Precip. But this theory has flawed logic, but nevertheless a good starting point for a more logical theory.

 

Tovan shifty his seat and drawn out points one by one with a piece of pebble into the red sand beneath him - still red and very Vulcan, he saw that this place is more secluded for thought and theories.

 

A ) S'aar known the crew has been planning this "death" show but how he could have known was still a large mystery and a very hard one to explain at that.

 

B ) S'aar 'removed' the nanites or rather rendered them ineffectively then woke up the entire crew with as much as a wink or a wave with its hands. This is consistent with S'aar's omniponent-like powers but still unexplainable with conventional medicine and biochemistry. 1) Commander Garnoopy specifically reprogrammed the nanites and with the Medical team devised this plan. Therefore S'aar can either reprogram technology and organism at his will or none of this never had actually happened.

 

C ) If point B was correct and the crew and the ship was anywhere but in reality, then where are their bodies stored? Were they connected to a gigantic super computer that creates artficial worlds for the crew's minds and S'aar is the avartar of this system? Or something else have gone terribly wrong?

 

D ) If previous point (Something else has gone terribly wrong) is correct then how could be happening? Could Manticore it self be a figment of their imagination? Could the whole physical being of the ship and crew be destroyed and whatever is left of them are there thoughts?

 

Tovan was slightly raising his brow at point D, because the highly improbabilitiness of it but perhaps this was true, it does some how connect to the plan, and the failure of the plan demonstrates evidence of this point. Perhaps their minds are somewhere, floating in a immensely large computer system. Or even worse, their physical bodies were nonexistent.

 

Tovan noted that also the failure of the plan also supports the theory that they were in another place and their minds are on this particular planet, which in itself doesn't exist. Perhaps the crew were in somesort of mental stasis?

 

He stood up, the logic of it was in error but then again nothing is ever impossible, to say it is impossible is also to say it is possible that the impossible would occure, therefore everything was possible.

 

Tovan started to walk north east, still thinking, quite hard. Would the crew ever find out?
