---

In the snug circle of an old park, a fountain sits burbling beneath a broad, midday sky.

Once-neat paving stones have buckled and cracked from the slow nudge of wayward roots. Benches stand covered in lichen and rust. Three paths push into the underbrush like the spokes on a wheel, the encroaching forest creating lush tunnels through the dark.

But the fountain stands singular and pristine, brightly splashing in open rebellion of the deep, muffled sounds of a place long ago gone to seed. A vibration hums through the ground, there and quickly gone, and the water in the fountain trembles, lapping against the high walls of its cool, pale reservoir.

It is the first of July.

It is precisely twelve o'clock in the afternoon.

Re: Arrival: Kira Nerys [OTA]

Nerys tries to remember the human story about getting lost and putting down pieces of food or rocks to try and trace one's way back, only to fail, but she can't remember the exact way it went in Chief's telling, so she decides to shelve the idea.

"Don't know how much more lost we can get, honestly," she says with a darkly amused grin.
