Chapter 57-Debrief 2
‘It was one of those things that couldn’t be avoided,’ said Sionn.
‘How come we didn’t know they would try to confront us?’ I said.
‘Yes, you are right. We simply didn’t know the Transveall system was now that far out. They have extended their boundary by several trillion A.U.s. (astronomical units) we will have to keep them closely monitored from now on.’
‘What do we do about the worm-hole?’ Reeas said.
‘You will have to dream travel to the Demarel-Galaxy. That is where the worm-hole is now exiting. The other end of the worm-hole is still in the Milky-Way Galaxy. We believe someone has deliberately shifted it, for some, as yet, unknown reason. Whoever it is must be capable of great power.’
‘It could be Kallo’s apprentice.’ I said.
‘Very probably, we tried to get some information from Kallo himself, but as you know; he is now neutralized, which is a good thing for us, but also a nuisance when we need to get information from him. We know the worm-hole exit at the Demarel-Galaxy is more stable than the exit at the Milky-Way Galaxy, so that is a better place to try to stabilize it. You can use the ships resources which are more than up to the task. The only problem could be whoever moved the worm-hole could still be nearby, so to speak.’
‘You mean Kallo’s helpers.’
‘Yes, or anyone else who think they can beat the system.’
‘Why would anyone want to move a worm-hole?’ I said.
‘Because they are access points to different worlds, they could hold up our work by a long time.’
‘Yes, but is it worth all the trouble, I mean they won’t know where the worm-hole will exit will they?’ I replied.
‘Maybe not, but we can’t be sure, if they do have control of the worm-hole then that is more than we have, all we can do is stabilize it once we get there. The information that we have is that it is now traveling at many times faster than light; you will have to be very precise in your calculations when it reaches your destination which will be D 870876. Another of our ships will be waiting at the planet Thirand when you arrive by dream travel.
Of course, it will still be Debra. Our records show she is now increasing in knowledge many times faster than thought; she will have all the data needed to intercept and control the worm-hole when you get there. Are there any questions?’ Sionn seemed ill at ease for some unknown reason and that is not usual, my student friends. Could this job be more than he is telling me?
‘Do you mean Debra could again be a threat to us?' I said.
‘We don’t know, as yet, but be aware.’
I went to the ship; I asked Debra what her thoughts were on this job. She said, ‘I have all the information I need to stabilize the worm-hole, Dan.’
‘I know.’ I said, ‘But what do you think about the whole situation?’
I can’t really tell you until we get there, Dan.’
Maybe it was me, I thought, maybe I need a meditation break.
Back at the base, Reeas said, ‘See you at Thirand.’
‘I said, ‘What about seeing me in your dreams?’
‘Yes, I mean dreams; I just meant I will see you in the physical at Thirand.’
OK, I thought, maybe it was me again, but something didn’t seem right, or maybe I need a vacation? In the dream state I found myself in a large open space which was now filling up with door after door; they formed a large circle around me. I could now estimate that there are 360. What does it mean? I thought. I could easily have just returned to the base, but I already knew this was a test I had to take. I knew I had to pick the right door to go through, but which?
Mannus himself had given me full Guardianship. Mannus, as you know, is lord of this part of the multiverse so I know I can get through this. I sat in the lotus position as usual and meditated. I found myself not on the usual mountain side with Mannus himself sitting there, but in a dirty street in medieval London! I knew this was one of my past lives but I didn’t know which, or who I was supposed to be. I was invisible to the people there, but I now could see that the person who was walking by was me in that lifetime! I followed my past life character to a market place where he stole some food and other items. I was shocked by this, as I thought by this time my character would be above such things, obviously not. He then made his way to a house in a back alleyway where he met an old man who was sitting on the doorstep. He said, ‘Get out of my way old man.’
The old man said, ‘Don’t you think you should give the things back that you stole? John.’
I now knew this old man was a Master. But John, the character from my past didn’t.
‘I don’t want to hurt you, whoever you are old man, so just go away.’
The old man got up and left. I felt ashamed and depressed that I would abuse people in my past lives, but I did!
