Host Gilthanas says:
Synopsis:  The Pendragon finding itself back in the Beta quadrant with unfriendly Orions, a Korvith ship in the background and an armada of unknown ships coming towards them, had hid in a nebula, waiting to see what would happen.

Host Gilthanas says:
After a communication between the Korvith and the Orion, the Korvith leave and the Orions begin an attack on the Pendragon.  Their choice of weapon?  The Genesis Torpedo

Host Gilthanas says:
The Pendragon heads out at top speed, but they are unable to beat the genesis wave.  The warp bubble begins to collapse, creating an unstable worm hole.  All begins to slow as time is stretched out and the genesis wave begins to envelope the wormhole and ship.

Host Gilthanas says:
The crew finds themselves in complete silence and darkness…

Host Gilthanas says:
Scenario:  The Pendragon senior officers and their right hand junior officers find themselves surrounding a large round wooden table of great antiquity made of solid oak.  Along with  them are various knights and their pages.  Each individual is clothed in reignments of color and richness of texture.  Kings, counts, nobles all.

Host Gilthanas says:
The ladies wear flowing gowns, they too are the round table, but here they only stand to watch.

Host Gilthanas says:
As one glances out the large window, turrets of various sizes are seen, hinting at the size of the castle they sit in.  Silence has descended upon the nobles in this room as a moment of disorientation seizes everyone in the room.

@:: Ready I pray the my son::

wrong here.

Lady_Laudine says:
Yvain: But you must guard the Fountain!

Gwenhwyfar says:
::climbs the stairs slowly, her heart heavy with fear for Lancelot::

Perceval says:
Taliesin: That would be ever so wonderful. You can also come and watch me practice my swordsmanship. I train in the courtyard as well.

@ ::Crosses arms:: Mordred: Yes.

::turns and looks at Merlin::

Meleagant says:
@ Mordred: It just depends on you two.

Gwenhwyfar says:
::enters bedchamber.  Takes a seat near a window and looks out longingly::

Taliesin: Splendid. That art would be ever so good.

Merlin says:
Arthur: far from here in the woods

Mordred says:
@Meleagant: Meleagant you will be well rewarded for this deed....that I promise......::smiles::

::Walks out into the courtyard and then out into the gardens toward the edge of the forest.  
Wondering.......wishing......longing........waiting.::

Taliesin says:
Perceval: Now train with all thou might, for it is the king you protect and it is he who must sleep safely at night.

Merlin says:
Gilthanas: away with you before I turn you to stone

Lady_Vivian says:
::looks at both men::

Perceval says:
::Is right next to Taliesin as he enters the court yard:: This is my favourite part of the castle Taliesin. I shall, and I do it in honour and for the King.

Mordred says:
@::grabs his sword and his dagger, sheathes them both::

Host Gilthanas says:
::looks annoyed at Merlin:: Merlin:  Good try, but a pointless waste of magic as you should know.  However, if you insist.. so be it.

Arthur_Pendragon says:
Merlin: Who is this woman?

@Morgana: Are you ready?

Taliesin says:
To all in courtyard: ::singing:: Now let me tell you a tale...

Morgana says:
:: fades into view inside the great Castle that is Camelot::

Gwenhwyfar says:
::hears the gentle sound of a lute in the courtyard below::

Arthur_Pendragon says:
Merlin: I thought you taught me to honour the dragon?  For the dragon is the earth and we must work closely with it to preserve all that is?

Lady_Laudine says:
::smiles and slips out of her painful shoes leaning against her husband and looking up at him:: Yvain: Thirsty my love?

Merlin says:
Arthur: she’s gone now my lord but she may return

Meleagant says:
@ ::Gets onto his horse and sets off for the woods::
