There is a large orange tabby cat exploring around the Nexus. He seems to be looking for someone in particular. Now, that in itself is not unusual.

However, this particular tabby cat is wearing a make-shift holster around his belly and there seems to be a Starfleet phaser encased in the holster. Only the top of the phaser is visible to the eye... but it looks covered with soot.

The cat is also being followed by a glowing blue light very closely.

After a few moments of being frustrated of not seeing anyone's face, from where he is on the ground... the orange tabby cat jumps his way up a few different Nexus fixtures, until he is higher up. He stares around the Nexus and makes a soft meowing sound. Almost questioning.

Anyone care to try to answer his question.

"We lured it into a trap, since it was tasked with hurting me over the others."

"I was temporarily trapped in a room with the creature. My friends had warded the only door leading out of the door. And now with the Nexus door similarly warded... it will be trapped in that room for a long, long time."

"You should probably put a Do Not Enter sign up or something," he says, nodding towards the sealed door. You never know what people might get up to here, after all.

"If your door's... like that, now... are you stuck using PINpoint only to get here and back?"

"I will do one better." And she casts a disillusion spell, so that the door completely disappears from sight.

"I am. Good thing I have it with me." Hermione doesn't mind the sacrifice. "It is for the best. If that creature, or the witch who created it had found the door..."

Jim can understand completely. From what he heard about the other Khan's invasion of the Nexus, the captain has his own concerns about a powerful enemy finding a way into this place. And there's a reason he is still the only one from his universe to have a PINpoint. It's good to have backups, but it doesn't entirely outweigh the increased chance that it could fall into the wrong hands eventually.

He's made too many mistakes to take something like that lightly.

"Make sure you don't lose it. I don't know if magic can tether it to you, or something..."

Now that the danger is no longer a concern and she is no longer in fight mode, Hermione is feeling tired. Especially with a purring cat in her arms.

"Thank you. For helping me to escape safely."

Jim smiles slightly, though there's still a hint of concern in his eyes. "You need anything else?" He's not the kinda guy to just scram without making sure she's got things under control, after all.

"A place to sleep for a bit, would be lovely." Hermione would rather not have to use the tent that is stored in her enchanted beaded bag.

Jim is a bit wary about having her crash at his place, especially with his mom around. Fortunately, that's not the only option at hand, and he doesn't want to see her camping out if he has anything to say about it either.

"I can see if Hunter's got a room free for the night. Or I think there's a hotel around here somewhere."

"That would be lovely, if you could inquire." It would make her feel better to stay with someone she knows.

"All right, one second." Jim sends off a quick text message to Hunter on his communicator. Got a bed free? Hermione needs one for the night.

Hermione uses the Patronus spell to send a message to her friends that she is safe, and that they should move forward in making sure that the Dementor is unable to escape the trap that they have created.

Jim gets a message back quickly. Sure do. Just bring her over

"Looks like we're good to go," Jim reports, and takes a look around. If they're here, then Hunter's apartment should be... thataway. Not too far off. "This way."
