In a private room of the perfect blossom tea, Sulu was drinking his sake while conversating with other high officers.
Senseis Chijin, Sakai, Hayase and Akamoto were present.
<< Sulu Teichou... >> said Chijin << ...so what I have heard about this artifact is true! I just couldn't believe it >>>
This was an argument of interest, the conversation between officers suddently stopped and an uncommon silence was filling the room.
<< Hai! The lost artifact felt in Dragon hands but our honor still lies untouched, we stood as brave warriors and fought until the end, for our Emperor. We done our best >>
The admiral made a short pause to drink his sake before continuing.
<< Do not worry however, all of you. We will have our chance to take it back when the time will be right. If we does not know what it is, they does not know that too >>
<< Hai, its meaning... worries me... >> said Hayase << I have been near it at times, observing it behind the protective glass and I felt... strange, like when someone is looking at you...but I was alone, I am sure of that >>
<< Hmm.. >> Sulu was listening carefully.
He had this sensation too since he spent some time with the Artifact, looking at it... somehow attracted by it... maybe attempting to disclose its secrets, like if it would have been possible without any intruments or particular knowledge.
A minute of silence passed.
