Storm assumed control, as both Administrators were injured, and lay prone, where 'B' Sharp had put them to sleep at the conference table. Every Bio-human in the colony suffered ruptured eardrums and ruptured internal organs due to the severity of the Supernova's shockwave.

Storm said with urgency: "Adara, heal the NINE, I must concentrate on the rest of Eden's life, levels."

Seeing the blood dripping from ears and noses, Adara immediately took control of the conference room Nanites and thought: "Repair 'better' than new." She looked with her second sight and saw trillions of Nanites fixing internal and external damage in the bodies of her loved ones.

Adara extended her perception like a growing balloon and said: "Mother, bio-human still alive is critically injured, and many mammals are already dead."

Eden said: "I'm already dealing with it. Every Nanite on Eden is in critical repair mode with humans as the priority. We will save all of the injured humans and most animals."

Adara said aloud: "Thank you for putting everyone to sleep 'B' Sharp, they'll wake up soon, be no worse for wear and happy to be alive. Then she said: "Mum, SP1, Eden and Luna need to form a defensive ball. Then accelerate to the Black Hole so we can neutralise it before it starts sucking the galaxy in."

SP1 said: "It will take a few minutes, as many of the lead SP Graviton ships are heavily damaged. They took the brunt of the impact, as they collapsed backward during impact, performing like a shock absorber to limit the impact to Eden and Luna. It worked because we are alive and still in the game."

Adara scanned every person sleeping at the table and said: "I guess this means we have graduated from the little league and are now going after a bigger bully. How are they behaving 'B' Sharp?"

'B' Sharp sent: "They are shocked and preparing to leave. I guess 'run for home' would be a better description."

Adara thought: "Damn it, the enemy will escape, 'B' Sharp."

'B' Sharp sent: "Not a chance, I have their scent. I know their minds, and they don't know that I can track their direction. I can do that until they get out of my sensory range. The Administrator told me to let them go as he wants to know where they came from. He feels strongly about paying them a visit if we survived this attack."

Thirty hours later, SP1 said: "Okay, Adara, the mess is cleaned up. 'B' Sharp, wake everyone up please. We're pretty much functioning to the point that we can move on this Neutronium core, Luna, are you ready?"

Luna replied: "We're ready here and thank you for putting everyone asleep. How the hell did you do it?"

Without even the slightest hesitation, Adara said: "Hypnotic suggestion. The Admiral has been working on it for years, putting the subliminal thoughts in minds through media messages. I'm so glad it worked. Some people might have died from shock if they had been awake."

Luna said: "It worked out well. Thank you my lovely Adara. I can't wait to see you when we all get to the Core. We can celebrate our victory, together, here on Luna."

Adara thought: "Oh dear, 'B' Sharp, did he not hear me when I rejected him or what? Why does he emphasise Luna?"

'B' Sharp sent: "Concerning you, his ears are turned off. He believes that you can't possibly pass him up for a mere Bio-human. Oh... 'hello,' I just perceived a stray surface thought from Luna. He's not fond of Bio-humans at all. These things just flittered across his conscious thought."

"He feels a deep sense of repulsion toward his Administrators, and there are feelings of conviction about some plan he has concocted concerning you. Somehow, I guess Luna managed to avoid revealing his true self in the communion when he was tested. Do you want me to deep scan him?"
