go watching as the baby version of the Trigan went to the surface which he followed seeing it breathe air from a hole on top of its head area. Tom eyed the baby Trigan as it then went to its mother to put mouth on her side he ducking underwater to see that happen. Tom frowned as the Trigan he heard mentally called for Ramses to transport him out. He found himself hitting a metal floor with a loud grunt sound and swung himself up to find himself in the High Council's throne room eyeing the group feeling his mood no longer bad from seeing them.

  He frowned as the speaker spoke "Says Ramses transport Mindbender to where he can get himself appropriately attired now."

  Tom found himself in a bedroom hearing a familiar Listener voice ordering him out and that it was Listener nesting room. Tom obeyed finding himself not keen on arguing with the Listener to find a Listener in the hallway leaning against the wall.

  The Listener straightened up seeing him spoke "Excuse me while I lead you to your bedroom since you're still new around here."

  He shrugged in response to follow the Listener lead him to a door that was second from the wall ending the hallway. Tom got ordered inside which he obeyed to find Barry inside sleeping on the raised bed from the looks of it. Tom quietly went into the private room to find clothes and shoes for him sitting on the toilet seat cover. He figured he'll shower proceeded to do that which once done dried himself then put on the clothes and shoe wear. He went to the mirror to stare at his face seemingly lengthy then walked out to find Barry up and awake seated on the bed that gave him a glare. Tom sighed as Barry flared golden eyes and pointed his cane still held in his right hand aimed at him along with putting the thing down still glaring at him.

  He spoke "Excuse me for waking you up. I tried to be quiet as I could."

  He frowned as Barry spoke sounding annoyed "That's not what I was indicating Mindbender so talk on what you were doing after dumped into the ocean by the Meritanians. Don't deny anything for I saw it clearly."

  He sighed softly and then inhaled to speak talking about meeting up with the Trigan species in Orca form along with what they taught him to swim including helping a female get her offspring out of her.

  He clamped his mouth shut while eyeing Barry who spoke stopping flaring golden eyes "And your mood just prior to the ocean dumping's source and now in front of me?"

  He exhaled a breath through his mouth then inhaled to speak "I was in a bad mood enough to want to use my fists onto someone. This was from confronting my Freeloader raiser Alesia is her name some Freeloader Queen in leadership position. She didn't give me the answer I wanted related to having me in some drugged addiction status for her to control me. That control was used along with control status emphasized by having me implanted with some oxygen mask and feeding tube. The implants were used once it was obvious I inherited the Banshee side of the Freeloader species. This happened actually. I wound in a bad mood in front of the High Council who had me stripped of my body wear then dumped into the ocean. I managed to calm down enough to help the Trigan who helped me with a problem of swimming they call it in water of the ocean. I wound up stopped being in a bad mood to help them. I'm no longer in a bad mood at the moment just feeling calm enough to talk to you like a normal person instead of using fists."

  He clamped his mouth shut while eyeing Barry who kept the glare aimed at him and then the Builder spoke "Talk on your confrontation with this Alesia as seen by me in more clear details now."

  He spoke "I willed my Berserker side forwards to felt compelled to shut my eyes. I know is a trick by Alesia to escape from me. It's from her doing it repeatedly onto me whenever I was in a bad mood to target her when I was implanted with the oxygen mask. She managed to escape me out of sight with her guards from that stunt. I managed to shake it off to find Alesia standing off my side. I gave up the death order towards her finding success with that with her giving up to death. I then walked out of the room once done to hit the hallway. I felt myself in a bad mood kneeled and gave up roaring sounds of anger. Anubis and Falcons stopped my noises after I was transported to the High Council."

  He clamped his mouth shut as Barry's eyes became golden followed by the Builder shutting his eyes with some concentration look on his face seemingly lengthy. Barry heard giving off his familiar foreign language chatter in a compelling voice tone then cutting off his talk before opening his eyes showing them no longer golden.

  Tom frowned as Barry spoke "Hit the drinking room or whatever you call it and get some nourishment now. I already had my drink. From the looks of it the High Council might want me in their presence judging by them interrogating a servant to admit something who's balking on doing it."

  Tom didn't comment a response as he left the room going to the barroom. Tom inside he found the familiar Highlander pair, the Listeners' group and Nameless inside who ignored him entering the room.

  He went to a stool to sit that was next to the Highlander pair only to hear from Nameless loudly "Don't sit there Mindbender. Only Barry sits there and believe me he has repeatedly gotten whoever sits there transported out of the room to elsewhere which I hear involves ocean dumping."

  Tom sighed and got up going to the stool next to it. Tom got stared at by the bartender.

  He spoke "Vodka."

  He clamped his mouth shut as the bartender continued to stare at him.

  He heard from the Listener "You sound like you have a problem hitting you by your voice tone."

  Tom formed a glare aimed at the Listener hearing silence from the Listeners' jabbering.

  Tom sensing that they were eavesdropping which he spoke "Then give me something to drink since Vodka isn't going to cut it."

  He glared at the bartender which he heard from one of the Listeners off his left sounding in Hammarabbi "Give creepy eyes a drink of milk and make sure he doesn't gulp it down."

  Tom exhaled a breath and inhaled to turn his head towards the Listeners.

  Tom spoke in Hammarabbi "My name isn't creepy eyes, Listener. I'm dubbed Mindbender and cut it with the insults. I'm not in the mood to argue with people on proper names for people to be called."

  He looked away hearing vulgar language jabbering from the Listeners in Hammarabbi sounding of insults aimed at him. He ignored eyeing the bartender doing his work who handed him a gold cup. He took finding it contained a liquid in the color of white. Tom sipped the drink finding it tasted good as the jabbering stopped and found the bartender staring at him with eyes narrowed.

  He halted his sipping to speak "Out with it bartender on what's your implying."

  He heard from the bartender who spoke "You're fluent in Hammarabbi. You should have said something about it after hearing us Listeners speak it for the first time in your presence Mindbender as you're called."

  He heard in response "Listeners how many times must I remind you on servants ordered to keep whatever talents they have to themselves. Servants ordered only using it whenever it's necessary to other servants?"

  Tom frown hearing the voice as Nameless to hear from the bartender who shifted to look pass him "Don’t remind me of that two bit info, Nameless so keep on drinking and stay out of this talk between me and Mindbender."

  He heard nothing from Nameless as the bartender shift to glare at him.

  He spoke "Well excuse me for not saying anything. That's due to that Listeners and I got off on negative means. I'm not keen on having to argue or fight with Listeners again. That after having something like that happen despite your kind insulting me with insults after it came out that I was fluent in Hammarabbi as you said."

  He glared at the bartender who spoke in Hammarabbi "I ought to foot your seat for not admitting to that fluent ability in Hammarabbi in the first place. That after hearing us talk as usual by others doing it to us repeatedly over and over just to spy on us talking."

  He spoke in Hammarabbi to the Listener "Let's make it clear bartender, the High Council didn't say anything to me to spy onto you. Besides I figured you and your people would react negatively if I said anyth
ing about being fluent in Hammarabbi to you in the first place. It's due to how well we both got off negatively towards each other."

  He glared at the Listener while again sipping his drink to find the bartender reaching out a hand yanking the cup away from his mouth.

  He kept a hold onto it tight as he could as the male spoke Hammarabbi "I warn you Mindbender that the High Council has repeatedly have servants fluent in Hammarabbi sent to here under the guise of drinking just to eavesdrop on what's said between us Listeners to report to the group. They in response of negative talk heard about them send us Listeners with a mission through a travel gate we don’t like traveling through for anything that strikes their whims."

  Tom kept his mouth shut as the bartender released his hold on the cup and continued "There was a group of Listeners overheard talking negatively about the High Council. They got sent through a travel gate for a mission not known to us to this day despite asking done. They haven't been heard back or returned since. We blame the eavesdropper reportedly some Highlander we managed to put down on a permanent basis after it came out that he was fluent in Hammarabbi for the loss of our companions. I warn you that the put down method onto this Highlander involved our fists and whatever weapons we had on our forms to hit him with. We hear that he's down on a permanent
