We all startled. The red-violet hull of Adia's Ship appeared, and Ir and I were in our bedroom there! I ran out.
In the main part of the ship, the crowd milled around as usual. People talked in small groups. Not as many people on the ship as there were.
Ry'nao came out of his room and Ryonne~ caught him.
Through the Diplomatic Link, I heard Ilios' call for help! He's coordinating people, helping Ry'nao.
No one noticed any of this! I ran through people to him.
As I ran, I saw Rentappenen. He's directing troops. But, he saw Sara and she's still back on Ye~ in our room! She marked people for others to attack because she can tell who's a slaver.
With that information, I found his top people who wanted him to win and attacked them! Plowed through them, mentally. Most of 'em were Elshars. He didn't have anyone with powerful telepathy left.
Sara and I worked through soldiers.
Ry'nao ran to me and put a hand on my head. His telepathy's a lot stronger than mine! He saw all the people I zapped, and he got their memories. Saw their plans.
An Elshar healer, Ket, gasped and put both his hands on Ry'nao's head! "You can't fight Rentappenen! Pull out!"
"Get Ray," he whispered.
Ket made him lie down in Ryonne~'s lap.
Ray ported in and put her hands on his head. That dark blond hair floated around as if she was in space. Red light, but dim, shone around her. She can't use the Red Cube yet.
"Suma—" a whimper.
I kept attacking and there were more to replace all that I felled! I sweated.
Suma and Jarfus, that walrus, and a horde of surprised Thordes appeared! They felt it and stood ready to add their telepathy.
"What are you waiting for, Christmas? Attack Rentappenen!" The giant white walrus shouted!
"You'll kill Ry'nao!" A Thordes I knew in Rainbow, Mike, put his hands on Ry'nao's head, too. Then held him up by his shoulders.
But, a girl with red pigtails appeared. Who's she? "What can we do, Jarfus? I can pick an earlier time, but so can Rentappenen! Suma, heal them! Jarfus, protect Suma! We need—I know—Gedda Dier has a Cube! Wake her up, Gierdre!" This is Azure, who has that time cube and made the bubble. She's only just making it?
I heard a voice in the Link. "We can't get down there!"
I followed it. Big guards with Ty'nirrhan telepathy— "Deb!"
She came running and I took over their bodies while she directed their telepathy down to Rentappenen! Gierdre ran down there, a clone of her who's Xchou-Ty'nirrhan, and found the right pile of slime. An aandat with Gedda Dier's intelligence. Immediately, she came to life. "We are being attacked! Now! Against Rentappenen!" But her armies weren't there. This world is Elshars, mostly. They got everyone to run down into the biomes and let the slime wake Gedda Dier's army!
They put their intelligences into aandats? Their secret weapon! Rentappenen wasn't ready for this.
And, they had weapons. Specially made higher-level weapons, to defeat his.
Azure shifted us back to January 19th. My body went back into me!
Things happened on Rhaech but other people worried about that. I kept downing Elshars. We moved deep underground on Lisbaar.
