Before their very eyes, bits of the ashen gel pack began to regrow, as the proverbial phoenix reborn.<br/><br/>Dun whistled softly.  He had to remind himself that most of creation existed in one direction with aspect towards time.  This, however, chronitronic life form moved forward and backward in time like you and I traversed space.  When it was presented with artificially created chronitrons, it responded in kind, as if you were praising your favorite pet..  When it turned its attention to the Gatekeeper's version of itself, it released its hold on the gel pack, thus bringing back to its right time.<br/><br/>Dun powered over to the work station beside Lewis and spoke with an awe filled tone of reverence, "I dont need but m'eyes to see<em>that</em>, Lewis."<br/><br/>Reaching up with a firm purpose, yet with glistening eyes, he activated a diagnostic of the labs phasic containment protocols.  Dun knew this would not kill the chronitrons.  Diagnostic procedures emitted .01 percent of the energy required to maintain a shield, but it would agitate these particles, and that did not sit well with Dun.<br/><br/>As quickly as the gel pack had begun to arrive back at its normal time in the here an now, healthy and functioning, it crumbled back to ash.  The same state it was in minutes earlier.<br/><br/>"Computer, terminate diagnostics.  Command authorization Gamma Three Kilo Six Kilo.  Maintain negative and positive particle transmission to the gel packs."  The Dun turned to Liara and Lewis both with a return to that soft whisper, "I believe we pissed them off, what y'all think?"
