No Synners here, not quite yet.

Wilma strode into the entrance hall of the huge gothic like structure, her arms flung wide she breathed in deeply, eyes closed head tilted to the ornate ceiling above.

Rebecca Hansen nudged Takamura further into the Narthex of the religious edifice, She too was gob smacked at the imposing architecture on show before them. She looked around to see her commander striding down the nave arms out to the side occasionally she would walk to one side or the other hands caressing the pitch black stone pews.

Wilma stopped when she reached the transept, huge pillars reached purposely to the ceiling, Wilma’s gaze followed one to see ornate carvings in the granite like stone. Large alien serpents, strange small creatures like Earths gargoyles seemed to scamper upwards avoiding the maws of the snakes. She breathed in again surveying everything before her,it was like she was inhaling the very atmosphere of the place. She turned to her colleagues;

“Ok spread out again, we don’t seem to have any company here so protocol be damned. If you see anything of interest let me know.”

Takamura looked at Wilma, she blinked several times. Was her commander getting pale, was her complexion changing, her very skin becoming a totally different colour? Wilma looked a light purple like all the heat had been sucked from her body, faint grey lines traced across her flesh. She looked across at Hansen hoping that her friend was going to speak to raise concern at their commanders appearance but Hansen was wrapped up in what Wilma was saying, her attention solely focused on her in almost adoration. All Takamura felt was fear, fear at this situation, of this planet and fear of her mistress, Gwen shook her head, no her colonel not her Mistress where had that thought come from?

“Takamura, ENSIGN.” Wilma almost shouted

Gwen looked up and Wilma looked normal again, she looked down.

“Sorry Colonel, just a bit spooked by this place.”

Wilma almost stalked up to her, putting a hand slowly, sensually on her shoulder fingers idly stroked her cheek. Takamura had to stop herself from swooning at the touch. The mood changed instantly as Wilma grabbed her hair, pulling her face to hers.

“Pay attention or I will fee....” Wilma stopped herself “Or I will write you up when we get back.”

Gwen shrunk even further into herself, glancing across she saw Hansen smirking at her.

“Ok then go and lets get to the bottom of this little mystery” Wilma said all the while staring up at the Apse where a huge stone Alter stood.
