IC: Waiting Around
During the next few days, Q'voth'zal found itself very busy indeed. Q'zan'mur its parent had passed before the Ranger arrived on board, its body having been made ready for the An'oo'pak ceremony according to custom. Only a day was needed to make the other necessary preparations, and all was very swiftly and discretely accomplished, for few outsiders were willing to question the reasons for such a large gathering of the carrion eaters. Thus the 'Feast of the Chosen' was held, privately in the Alien Sector, the following day on Green Two.
Almost every pak'ma'ra on Babylon 5 was in attendance, word having spread swiftly as it usually did among them. Even old Vlur'Nhar, the species ambassador, made an appearance, to share stories of Q'zan'mur and offer songs in its memory. Once the solemn rite was completed and their sacred duty to release the old ambassador's soul back into the universe had been completed, Q'voth'zal sought out the only Librarian currently onboard, a grey skinned telepath named G'lom. The Ranger shared its memories with the Librarian and thus its parent's passing was officially recorded.
It returned much later to the specialized apartment it had rented in Red Four. As per protocol, it had checked in with the Anla'shok representative assigned to Babylon 5. Informed of an upcoming assignment, it decided to get some rest while it awaited the details of its upcoming mission. The greatest surprise was that Q'zan'mur had left its spawn a data crystal containing its final words. As it prepared for a rest cycle, Q'voth'zal wondered what the crystal contained, what its mission would be, and what other surprises the next few days would bring.
