Njia was an Haphketsut Immortai, She often travelled between worlds seldom ever encountering ‘THEM’.
The nightmare of so many races.
The Matsupa. Her suspicions had been roused, when her craft in space, had picked up, the traces of another leaving this system. 
The other side of Orias. It’s markings, were all too familiar. That of the one, she had been seeking; Pu Appa.
Whilst it could not, pinpoint for certain, whence it had came, she was certain, it was Solus 3 (Earth)?
That in itself was terrifying.
The Matsupa had a hatred of everything to do with, Human(a) and here, we are talking ancient origins, VERY ANCIENT.
They, had gotten, their a’s kicked, when they had tried to invade, centuries earlier, only to suddenly realize.
A few cannons, targeting their fleet, was not something,
they had expected, from such a primitive planet?
The Omini had inserted the sacred Ank into the block to initialize a power grid, sending, nuclear powered power into a grid.
That sent plasma bolts of lightning into the heavens, destroying, almost ALL of the fleet.
A few, had escaped, to lick their wounds, for some centuries until, they finally sought their revenge AND, had the means to do so?
They, sent an asteroid, hurtling towards Solus 3, packed with two, massive ceramic sealed urns.
Lined, to stop any possibility of fusion occuring until?
When the asteroid hit home it split in two and, the ceramic vessels, likewise shattered?
A massive, ionic fusion reaction occurred.
The planet exploded. its volcanoes cracked open spewing its mass into the atmosphere blocking out the sun and darkness, icy cold darkness, descended upon the planet.
The civilisations were wiped out. NOTHING remained except some organisms that were NOT affected. It would take somc time before the Matsupa realized the truth and celebrated.
Her craft could NOT, be detected by any living thing OR, othewise designed to give warning, of the presence of an Ominii? The scanners, soon detected the presence of the local population.
IF, she had wondered, about making contact? She was discovered by a child, A girl who was not old nor too young. A bright bubbly child, who it seemed was over keen, to ask her if she was one of them?
“An evil race, who had invaded their world?” In so many words, though lacking some expressive detail.
Relieved, to find out, she was not. It ‘spilled the beans’ answering all of her question, almost with a sigh that it seemed, no one, could so her sisters had told her, help them. They were all doomed.
Even down to the whereabouts of the supersonic aircraft that they needed but could not get to?
The means, of our salvation. She, had put her hands down by her side.
NJia smiled, reached into ‘pocket’ to retrieve an object to give to her, with the instructions, she was to give it to her sisters? IT, was a crystal and caught by the light, many colors danced before, her delighted eyes.
Gone and Iska raced home to deliver the present, A little hesitant at first, knowing what, her sisters were like? She, was she knew, going to end up being told off!
In the cave area, some clearing had given them a lot more space than they had previously had.
Enough to bring more of them together in safety? The arrival of Iska? A lot of growling and telling off NOT just be her sisters!
Finally, placing the crystal, onto the tablau, they stared at it. IT, did nothing. The cavern was dark, dimly lit.
Iska grabbed it and ran into the light streaming from the from the hole in the roof?
Sunlight hitting it and, that, was when its colours, started to dance. Some murmurs of appreciation as to how beautiful it was? The initial pleasure of watching the light show stopped after the crystal was taken and placed against the rock wall.
Later the lamps lit and the flickering of them, whilst the Kets, Ketlevlings (children) AND Ketlets (females) were resting sipping on some ale? Iska had NOT told them where she had gotten the Crystal from other than she had found it?
Old mine ruins, could, have yielded such, so no further questioning followed.
Emersu was sat near the well. Wiping her forehead? “Is it me or is it getting dammed hot in here?
She turned as Shinsuni, moved to run her hands over her forehead.
“Bloody hell Ems you’re burning up.” Infections were not uncommon from the mold in particular.
Other cave spores, could also, be really nasty, to one’s health. 
She shook her head. “Can’t be. It is too sudden an onset to be anything like that.”
Dacs had also noticed the heat was rising.
He took a thermo probe shoved into the rock layer and waited. “Whoa ... look at this! “
“Don’t tell me we are over a themosan ? (Volcanic lava flow usually does this.)
“NOT a volcano for miles. We don’t even get a hot tub here it is so remote!”
The rock shifted, a slight rumble?
“You better not be lying out of your arse. I know YOU, thermo sciestes, who almost got us burnt alive, the last time, you declared a cave was ‘hydrothermically’ safe! “
Shifting back and dragging Emersu with him, they stared at the crystal in front of the glowing rock?
Above it, a massive fissure occurred, splitting the rock above it, to form an opening?
A massive, bright lit circle, forming and growing, growing, growing until, within it, could be seen the shadowy outline of? She or ‘IT’ materialized in front of them.
The gem, on the forehead glowed, as she, IT, turned and the rock fissure vanished, leaving behind solid rock.
“NOT the best way for me to travel, establishing a temporary portal.
BUT! I am here now and, I need to talk to. Iska?”
