Crystal Utopia

Somewhere in the Pegasus Galaxy...

Another day of searching once again had yielded only more desperation. Three more planets discovered, all plagued by the wraith.

Teyla was exhausted. Tetra had been ravaged. The land was raped under the Wraith attack. The survivors were a dwindling few. Teyla spent most of the day helping to gather the survivors and salvage their crops. Every muscle on her petite body ached. "Mother," she thought out loud. "I hope I am doing the right thing."

She reclined on her chair and that is when the ships alarm went off.

"Wraith...

Somewhere just beyond the Kinmoku system.

A lithe figure stood near the controls of the ship, watching the pilot, Miss Tenou Haruka navigate.

He delicately looped a finger through his long tawny blonde hair and pushed it behind his ear as he bent down to get a better look at the readings.

Something was unsettling Zoicite, but he couldn't place what.

Standing back up, he progressed through the ship until he located Kunzite and the young Prince Yasuo. He nodded his head in a quiet greeting, folded his arms across his chest, and leaned against the wall of the ship.

"Nothing of any consequence," Zoicite replied as he glanced back in the direction he had just come from. "Misplaced nerves, most likely..."

He turned his attention back to Yasuo. "Is everything to your liking, young lord?"

Haruka was on edge. Kinmokusei had been beautiful but she felt like something was amiss. But the radar showed nothing on the screen and the communications were quiet since they had left Kinmokusei. She glanced over at her lover and in spite of her nervousness, felt a smile tug at her lips. Michiru was one of the few people who could get her to smile like this.

Watching Zoicite leave, Haruka continued to monitor the ship's controls to ensure everything was in order.

Kunzite glanced up at Zoicite as he entered. He gave a subtle smile to the other general and glanced at Yasuo before looking back at Zoicite. "You seem...preoccupied Zoicite. What troubles your mind?" he asked.
