A mystical artefact

[Enoch]

*Enoch suddenly notices what Vorlok is doing, and that the ball may hit the crystal and drop it on the floor again.*
"Stop! Stop that!"
*He jumps protectively in front of the covered stone.*

[Emrodel]

"A joke?  Who are you..."

*Emrodel's question is interrupted by the child's actions.  When the young boy hides behind her, she pointedly looks at him.*

"You know something little one?  I know you did not mean to break that vase.  Even so it would only be right to give the 'frightening' man an apology.  It is at the least an honourable thing to do, wouldn't you agree sir?"

*Emrodel looks back at the shop owner, who curiously enough is protectively standing in font of the 'ugly stone'.*

[Vorlok]

*crawls into a very tiny space that is "very" hard to see and drags sarnae into it as well.

Sit down, shutup and keep quiet or we'll both be caught.

[Vorlok]

*melts behind  a shelf and watches the proceedings with some interest.

[Vorlok]

crystal what crystal?

[Embries]

*Embries sighs.*
"I'm not sure why it works for me and not for you... perhaps the crystal was designed to respond to certain people, or certain species only. I vaguely remember something about that."

[Zayan]

"Well, I could check his personal logs.  We were able to salvage some of the logs from the old asteroid community.  They might mention something about the crystal stone, but they are all back on Vontak Nor."

[Zayan]

*Zayan walks over to the counter.*

"If your readings indicate that the crystal is some where near this counter, I suggest that we start looking for it.  You start searching this side and I will start searching the other side."

*She walks behind the counter and goes to the far side and begins looking behind and under the counter.*

[Enoch]

"Not much yet, director. But it is likely a very ancient stone, from the time that the homeworld of Mr. Embries was destroyed by some powerful force. And when Mr. Embries touched the crystal, it seemed to make him remember things of his childhood that he had long forgotten or suppressed."

[Vorlok]

*tosses a very tiny ball up and down near some very delicate crystal*

[Vorlok]

*throws the ball in the air in shock after seeing enoch get mad*

*SMASH* goes a vase.

*shoots behind the mysterious woman visitor*

Scary man, very scary.

[Vorlok]

While the rest of hte group is talking and debating the crystal *Vorlok decides thats it's probobly wiser to move the source of the arguement*  *sneaks out and picks it up from behind the group (who have their backs turned) and puts it safetly behind the counter and darts back to his hiding hole) (Before Sarnae arrives).

(After SArnae)
*Bursts out laughing and drops hte helment he was holding* CRASH!!!  *startles sarnae, who's standing realtivly close to his hiding spot.

[Peter Svensson]

*Svensson notices the alarming look on the face of Embries, and slowly tries to move closer to the crystal, trying to reach the nearby blanket so he can cover the stone again without anyone noticing.*

[Randall Sanchez]

"Are you sure it's safe here? I promised the Loxian woman I'd return it to her, and I don't want to tell her we lost it."

[Vorlok]

*opens the door very quietly and overhears the last few words?

little known parti thingy? oooo *reaches out a hand to touch the glowing crystal. what is it.
