He flashes back to the numerous times he’s heard Talia mention the word Keth and its concept. He vividly remembers being skeptical at first when she mentioned it to him. But slowly, over time, that skepticism dwindled away with every passing day he spent with the crew. He hoped that whoever tried taking the lives of his superior officers be running right about now, because the whole family would be hunting them down soon. Sinez’s eyes dart over to K’ria and her hand as he slowly loosens his grip completely. “Stay, leave, the decision is entirely up to you...I’m going for a walk before I start punching things.”
He flexes his hand and jaw before calmly walking out the room filled with officers guarding the one single bed and its occupant. He slowly comes to a stop by the entrance guarded by both Wellington and Baker. He sniffs sharply before turning his gaze over to Lindsey.
“Notify me when something changes… I can’t.. Just stand here, I need to do something... I'm going for a walk.” He places his hand on Lindsey’s shoulder and gives Baker a slight nod before leaning closely to whisper into Lindsey's ear. “Don’t squeeze your hands too hard, you’re gonna need them soon enough.”
He walks through the doors and spontaneously picks a direction to begin his stroll. Trying his utmost hardest to channel the rage inside of him into the steps he takes.

K'Ria opened her hand to let him go, she smiled at his tone and behavior and nodded to him. She understood this nature...this was a warrior. A warrior whose House had been subjected to a cowardly attack.
An attack without honor...
K'Ria after only a moment turned and followed him out, allowing his time to address the two guards. She stepped out into the hallway and kept pace with him silently, always just a step or two behind and to his left.
She says not a word nor does she stare at him, she merely accompanies him...by his side as he walks...with his rage.
...She merely remains with him, until needed.

Over and over the battles replayed, blow for blow, strike for strike...each fight recalled, every movement and attack relieved. An endless stream flowed through her mind swirling and blending together as she lay helpless on the biobed. Her anger, her confusion, her anxiety and worry for Xae...her anticipation and acceptance of each battle and the thrill and rush of each victory...Quickly followed by the shock of those final moments after finding Xae with their attacker...the anger at recognizing who this monster was and her utter white hot rage as he impaled ....her.
All followed by her enraged fueled lighting charge...the utter shock and disbelief of the speed of his attack, the shearing pain and overwhelming agony that followed as whatever he did to her ripped right through her soul. The extreme jolt of the memory that Xae was still there...
Her eyes snapped open and despite her incredible injuries she had bolted upright. Her head spun viciously as did the blur of the room around her, she fought for consciousness, she battled to clear her vision. She hunted for her attacker with wild eyes, desperate to resume the attack to protect...her.
"Xae!" Her voice strained and cracked by the arid dryness of her throat.
She soon was gently grabbed by a pair of hands on her shoulders. She whirled to her attacker only to find Solia's face close to her own, calm and serene as always. Speaking to her, pleading with her to lay down.
In her struggles, Talia was brought up short by the shocking sight of her own right arm ending in a heavily bandaged stump just below her elbow. Her sudden burst of strength ebbed...and she found herself eased down by Solia and a host of Nurses and Medical Officers who suddenly appeared around her.
"She is back!"
"Saunders...grab that cart!"
"She is in shock!"
"Commander..please...let us do our jobs..."
A sharp bite of Solia's emotionless snark. "Then do so...finally."
"I need three cc's of Zandroline...lets go Stat..."
She felt the sharp hiss and bite of a hypospray on her neck.
"Where is...Xae?" She managed as she felt a blanket brought up around her shoulders once more.
"Captain....listen we need you to stay calm..."
The hell you say, She thought angrily let me up! However her body yielded when even her spirit refused too.
...another soft hiss and bite in her neck.
"Easy Captain,...you are going to be just fine..."
She closed her eyes as her body grew numb with peaceful calm. Relaxed she opened her eyes and stared up looked for Solia and repeated...
"Xae...."
"She is alive, she brought you back to the starbase..."
Talia's eyes swept around the bedside looking almost desperately for confirmation, she had to be here. She was always by her side. Incredibly she did not see her, she snapped her look back to Solia.
Solia's only answer to this was to lay a gentle hand on her shoulder.
"She...is not here Talia. She had to leave..."
Talia lay there unable to believe this...even as Solia closed her hand tighter on her shoulder for reassurance.
No...
She wouldn't...
...No.
