It's small.

It's out of the way.

You may not even see it when you're looking right at it.

Which you probably won't, because its very nature draws your eye away.

But it's there.

High on the wall behind the bar.

There's a crack in the wall.

[ooc: reactions only for now, please -- a Doctor EP is forthcoming. The little bit of light coming out isn't enough to harm anything, but time-travelers (not counting the trip to Milliways) and other especially time-sensitive folks may be affected. For example: a wave of dizziness and/or nausea, hearing a cacophony of overlapping whispered voices, or just a general feeling of unease.]

Sariel doesn't notice it right away; the Enterprise's time in Earth's past aside, she's no more time travel-inclined than the next humanoid. But she has had

the briefest single glimpse of what mars the wall behind it.

She can't explain the momentary flash of seemingly sourceless unease she feels just then, nor the equally swift, barely-there suggestion of sound in the air. She doesn't like either though, however soon they pass.

Do the right thing.

Not. at. all.
