She came in and sat down with a sigh. "I was hoping to avoid this but, I seem to have miscalculated and, it falls on me. You see, Captain, one of my titles is "The Phoenix". I found out that it is not just a title. Every 500 years the current holder of that Title has to return home for the 'Rite of the Phoenix'
Unfortunately, the 500 year mark is in one week and I have to be home before then or my world will undergo a calamity. I have to go through and recreate the Legend of the Phoenix. In plain English, I have to die by fire and be reborn or my world could very well cease to exist."
She stopped at looked at Captain Dantara.

::Brock rubbed his chin for a moment contemplating her words.::
I'm not sure what that all means, Angie. I hope that you are speaking more symbolically than anything.
Many Commanders what want the mission to come first. Even though I don't understand the ways of your world very well, You may be interested to know that in troglyte history, going way into antiquity, long before Stratos was raised, There were special rituals they a troglyte priestess underwent with the women.
Other than that, I can tell you nothing about those rituals, except that they are sacred, and no male is allowed to so much as ask about them, let alone witness them. To do so means death. That law is still in effect today.
I need you on this mission, but Amir can handle it. I will respect your ways just as I respect the Wishes of the Priestesses.
I'll grant your leave. Just come back to us safe and sound.

Angelaine smiled, "Unfortunately, it is almost literal. It has something to do with the fire abilities of my Ruling Line and, it can only be preformed by the Crown Princess, namely, me. Hopefully, I won't have to be gone too long but, I wanted you to know why I was having to leave so suddenly.
Grand mother will be there as will my uncle, her son. It will be good seeing him again. Well, I'd better finish packing. Thanks for listening, Captain." She stood up. "I'd better get ready, Mom is sending her personal shuttle here to DS9 to pick me up."
