They're Here

==VOID EP.03 - They're Here==
We hard cut back in to the crew of the Defiant, namely Malik, Sul, and Tamir gathered in the airlock of the ship. They just narrowly escaped the encounter with the nakatra on the Ghazali, and the Defiant escaped the gravitational pull that threatened to drag it into the Hamura star. The three men catch their breath, both Sul and Tamir are suffering the affects of radiation exposure. Malik is trying to downplay the large bite he took from the nakatra. Tal expertly gets the ship away from danger and plots a course to the Hamura portal station. 
Malik reluctantly goes to the med bay to receive some treatment for his wound. We learn that he's a big baby when it comes to things that sting, and he sasses Tal about her bedside manner. To Malik's surprise, Tal patches him up nicely. Tamir and Malik tease each other on the job description of an intern.
Sul goes to take a shower to wash all the blood off himself. He examines the little stone carving he took off the dead priest on the other ship. He notices now it's carved very intricately, and is a couple inches tall and cylindrical. Once in the shower room he accidentally knocks the carving and it rolls across the counter, through some blood, the carvings leaving an impression on the surface. Sul quickly examines the image left behind before the steam of the shower washes it away. He makes out it's a very crude image of a space ship, shaped like a butterfly. He's never seen anything like it. The carving rolls off the table and breaks in half. 
Meanwhile Tal gets to work patching up the ship. She puts on her exo suit and goes outside to fix some damage. 
As soon as Tal exits out the airlock, Malik asks Tamir for the green disk from the Ghazali. Tamir gives it to him and also returns the gun, saying he doesn't need it. Malik tries making him sit down to rest and recover from his radiation exposure but Tamir is stubborn and insists on completing his systems check of the Defiant first. Sul agrees with Malik, and Tamir gives the two other men a knowing smile, still thinking they're a couple. 
The two brothers go to the bridge and start arguing over who gets to use the main computer first; Tamir needs to run his systems checks, and Malik wants to scan the disk to see what he can learn. Tamir is very wary about Malik doing this. Malik wants to know why the Ghazali was there, and how it was destroyed; the fact that the whole operation looked very military only piques his interest more. Tamir pleads for Malik to leave well enough alone, to not go poking around in things that don't belong to them. Malik reminds him that the Ghazali was supposed to be on a rescue mission, just like they are.
