Human Exposure

Chapter 9

A destructive force is met

John is experiencing what he dreamed of in his nightmares! He's name is revealed in a memory, Zeru! He remembers a sound, not sure where the sound originates from.

He is nothing and everything flying through space. He is able to see far beyond what he has ever imagined. He is able to see the trails of all the portals that he thinks the Secrion has created and where they all lead.

Even the most distant galaxies seem within his reach. He just needs to extend his arms and touch and he is closer...

This makes him stop mid-space...

If this is how fast I am moving, how fast should it take Debi to reach us? He waits and looks around, hovering in space, trying to get rid of all the stars, galaxies and other objects in space.

In the edge of space he can clearly see a very Dark part, a blob, but something that is slowly moving towards him.

Is that Debi, he thinks and he focuses on the block. He is having difficulty maintaining and keeping focus on the blob like object. But he approaches. He has no idea how fast it is moving and no idea what to even look for but this blob is his only chance to try and get somewhere or do anything.

Meanwhile on planet Xe, they seem to have constructed a human body. A form that mimics John's original body, but this body seems absolutely perfect compared to the original John.

Andrew and Lisa have been spending much time with Xe helping him construct the pod and adjusting. The spawning pool is low and they have, what seems like weeks building this body.

"That should do it" Xe steps back from the pod holding John's body.

"All we need now is a soul. Or John, whatever to enter the shell. His body has been enhanced a thousand times, able to sustain massive amounts of matter particles and rapid changes. Let's just say we created a super human that can fold, mold and transcend with its essence. Not quite a normal human body but something that can sustain massive amounts or radiation for a very long time, in fact feeding on radiation to expand its normal in this state, capabilities."

"Well hell Xe get me into a body like that?" Gravax seems more excited than Xe at this point.

"Now we need to wait." As Xe sits down and closes his eyes to join the search for John.

Gravax and Vorlex do the same as they close their eyes and search for the unknown.

Sarah has been in the secret room since the death of John. She has shut herself out completely. She is in despair and she is not able to handle or control her emotion, constantly crying and thinking of what she could have done.

Nicky, has been keeping her company since John's death. Nicky, the most unlikely of the Thornewoods has been really supporting Sarah.

While the Thornewood have been in original form all the time and meditating as it seems with closed eyes, they have been searching the universe for a presence.

Nicky picks up something fat beyond a distant galaxy.

Sarah notices Thalara twitching, but Thalara does not move or make a sound.

"I think I found an anomaly in space. It looks like a blob... or a black hole... it has no shape, it seems to travel at a rapid speed... well towards us but is still a long way from..." Thalara stops and she starts to slightly glow as she is giving off signs of ... is it hope?

"Why are you glowing?" Anxiously Sarah tugs on Thalara!

"I think I found ... something. They're two unknown entities in the same space moving towards one another! '' Thalara opens her eyes.
