"Do not worry...all will be well." The robed figure gave a
small bow then exited the room and closed the door behind
him. A second or so later came the sound of a lock being
turned Rangi moved towards the door, listened carefully but
could
hear niothing. She tried the handle but the door was
definately locked. She frowned, wondering if the situation
had changed much for now they were still prisoners and the
only difference was the captor.
"What is this?"
She turned her head and saw Martin waiting for an answer. He
patted a hand onto a statue that he was standing next to.
"I dont know really." she replied, walking towards him.
"They said this is a chapel so I imagine that must represent
a God of some kind."
Martin looked at it doubtfully, gazing up at the figure,
which was a mixture of human and bird like features.
"Why does it look like this?" he asked and puffed out his
cheeks at the same time opening his eyes widely.
Rangi laughed quietly at his near perfect impersonation.
" Best not to do that." she said coming to his side.
"Although we might find this creature amusing, the people
here might not like us making fun of it." She laid her hand
on his shoulder and smiled to him.
Martins cheeks deflated and he smiled back.
The door opened again and another robed figure entered. It
nodded towards Rangi and shuffled across the room to an
alcove. A sinewy hand reached forth and pulled the beak on
the statue in the alcove, which was a replica of the large
statue that Martin had been gazing at earlier. The alcove
swung inwards, and the figure motioned for Rangi to follow.
"Please... come inside," it said.
The room looked gloomy, with shadows in the corners. It
didnt look welcoming at all. Rangi stopped in the doorway
and glanced around, though there was little to see.She
stepped inside with Martin holding her hand and a moment
later and it was he who said " Look!", sounding as surprised
as she was.
Inside the dark room was an old, outdated loose-standing
terminal. The figure indicated for Rangi to sit down.
"Please... for you to use," it insisted. "Please."
She looked from the terminal to the figure and back then,
meeting his hooded gaze asked. "To use?"
He gave a half bow and pointed again to the seat. This time
she needed no second bidding but crossed quickly to the
chair and sat down.
It was an exciting moment for here in front of her was a way
to communicate....but where to begin?
She raised her fingers but clenched them into fists for much
as she wanted to start, the technology was outdated and she
wasnt sure how to initiate it.
Noticing her hesitance, the figure stepped carefully forward
and pressed a few commands on the keyboard in front of the
monitor, touching it almost as if it were poisonous.
Nothing happened immediately except that a logo appeared on
the green screen. Martin stood beside Rangi but looked up at
the robed figure doubtfully but then a series of five notes
sounded and the screen came to life.
"You have to press that" Martin said helpfully but Rangi
grabbed his hand.
" Dont touch anything." she warned and from the depths of
her memory, she began to tap in the basics.
The message would go to Unity and this time there was no
need to try to hide clues.
"We're in Quorum space." she began. " ..although I dont know
the exact location. Harker is the reason behind it. He has a
Chameloid take Major Varis' place....I have no idea for how
long and i dread to think what he might have accessed...but
he's dead..killed in a fight and martin and I are safe. "
She glanced at the robed figure who stood impassively to one
side then continued: " There are some people here who have
helped us and..."
In an instant the screen reverted to its original logo and
Rangi, wondering what had happened, looked at the figure.
Martin said : " Links gone" in a resigned tone.

There was a loud crashing and clanging sound outside and
everyone look towards the door. "Stay... please," the robed

doorway open and entered back into the chapel, closing the
secret alcove behind him.
