Mission: Azimuth Horizon: Crusade - Chapter 3: Preparations
Location: Starbase 10 main conference hall

From the crew of the Artemis, a strikingly melodious voice caught everyone's attention as Doctor Elliago Nasaro-Myth asked to be heard.

''Sir, I am no soldier and will not speak of tactical considerations here; but I am a doctor and will speak of life and our moral responsibility."

The Deltan stood up and smiled to make sure not to sound harsh, but his mesmerizing purple eyes held a definite light of the dire seriousness that filtered through his soft tones:

"I was part of the only crew that went all the way through this phenomenon and back; what many must keep in mind here is that this anomaly is not just a big supernova running wild: it is also the doorway to an entire different universe... smaller than this one, but no less relevant.''

He paused to let everyone come freely to the implications he was about to spell out.

"Whatever we will do, or will happen because or despite of us, here on our side, it may very well have consequences on the other side... and for all life there. While on my way back here, I read a report from the USS Spectre about the discovery of a new energy lifeform that may possibly originate from this other side. One thing for sure; this other universe looked to us from our brief stint there as potentially as filled with life as ours."

He looked straight at Allen Samji then.

"I have no clue how any destructive attempt on this side will affect this pocket universe... and its inhabitants..."

His gaze then swept the room, meeting each and everyone present before he asked to each one of them in one single breath:

"Do you?"
