Tazer and Etaera materialized in a magnificent chamber. Light filtered through the opalescent walls giving everything in the circular room a soft glow. In the center of the room, on a raised silver table, was the body of Etheron. However, they were not alone with the ex-ruler of Etimon.
Shahn stood next to the body and gestured for them to remain quiet. Her expression was troubled and her hands were visibly shaking. What she was doing could mean the end of her life. She was deliberately betraying the new Vildar while trying to protect the life of the woman she had come to consider a very dear friend.
The Etimonian beckoned them over, and Tazer stepped forward as quietly as he could while removing a device from his pocket. Sweeping it around, he remained focused on the readout until he was satisfied. "It's clear," he said.
Shahn released a breath. "Do not touch him with your bare hands. You will leave your mark." She pulled two sets of gloves from her gown and handed them to the pair. "I will return soon. What I do not see, I cannot tell." She paused next to Etaera. "Captain, please...you must find the cause."
When she was gone, Tazer slipped the gloves onto his hands and moved to the other side of Etheron. "Where's a scientist when we need one," he asked as he carefully pulled the sleeve of the Etimonian's gown away from his arm. Since Desan had been poisoned by a dart to the arm, it seemed a reasonable place to start.
