Subject: Grail: 'Unexplored Spaces' - 'Voices in the Dark'

'He did not hear us, Kol.' asked an uncertain voice.

'He heard us, Xara, he just didn't understand.' answered a confident one.

'Will we try again?' came another voice.

'We will try until we succeed, Pilo. He-who-fears-Them-not is our only hope.' said Kol.

'Our only hope...' echoed Xara.

François awoke with a start. He had dreamt of the swirling emotions again. 'No more Snakebites for me...' he thought, 'they give you the wierdest dreams.' But something about the dream nagged at him. He couldn't explain it, but neither did he want to. For some reason, it frightened him. He stood up and waited for the dull pain in his head to subside. He was used to hangovers and tried not to let them bother him.

He walked over to the sonic shower and activate it, but it didn't really help. Not like a water shower did. 'At least I'm clean,' he thought. Putting on his uniform, he exited his quarters, his mind focusing on work.
