As night fell in the Rom village, the bustling activity began to die down. Even the energetic Rom needed to rest, and so the village soon became quiet and still as the moon rose

Cargn remained silent throughout the entire ordeal, completely unreadable as events unfolded around him. Carrying the Map in hand, he wordlessly made his way through the doorway that opened as the crew continued onward.
On the other side, they would find a dark, spartan room. The only thing present in the room was a simple stone platform, hovering above which was a large, metallic circle. Within the circle, patterns of light danced back and forth, sometimes bright, sometimes dark. It was difficult to directly look at, as it gave off an odd, otherworldly feel

Celena approached and circled the device that had been made known to be the tapestry they sought, mentally recording those images both in her memory and in the knowledge crystal that she held around her neck. Letting her gaze shift to observe the world in terms of energy, magic, life force and more trying to get a feel for the true nature of the Tapestry.
Namira looked down at the plucky little girl, and up at Wanda. The comforting would've made Morrigan scoff, and inwardly, Namira scoffed a little herself. "We must prepare then, shan't we? The Ohm are certainly not wasting their time, and if all that is truly to come to pass..." Namira let her hand trail down her whitewood staff.
She'd seen images of the future once before. Visions in a small town that claimed to be visited by dreams of an elven women crying. The first time she had met Rose, even if it was in her nightmare.

But then when that man suddenly blipped into view, she tensed up, glaring over at him. She was about to ask who he was, but the Captain answered that easily enough, so she just stayed quiet.
"As usual, I'm here to enjoy the show, and the looks of surprise on your faces. I did tell Jean-Luc you had to be prepared for a very great loss, remember? You should have taken my word for it. There'd be less dropped jaws right now if you did."
Aqua had never dealt with Q before and made a mental note to ask about him later. But she had dealt with supremely powerful beings before, and she knew to watch her manners around them.
"Is that the only reason you're here?" she asked carefully. "Or is there something else we should know, like when you warned--Jean-Luc?"

"Is it telling us what's going to happen?" Sasami asked. "How come we can't see the people in that one image! If we knew...!"

He hadn't met Q before either, but he knew his type. Oh, did he know the type... and the secret was not to let your goat get gotten.
