For you students: I can only hope you will still be able to access my thoughts, but I can’t say. I became unconscious. I don’t know how long I was unable to access my own mind, maybe minutes, maybe hours. I then became conscious. I found I was in a sort of massive room. It was about the size of a football field; it then started to fill up with the usual stuff that we need for everyday living; things like houses and streets, but the space was limited, I was starting to feel a little angry, I then noticed that people started to appear! I tried to talk with them but they didn’t seem to be fully conscious! Where was I? I felt strangely different. I was now stood outside of my own house! My car was back in the driveway. I ran to the door, could it be that my wife and son are here! Yes, they are! I hugged them, and couldn’t control my emotions. I was starting to feel my usual self but what was my usual self? I knew I was Dan Sherman and a school teacher, but what else am I? My mind was struggling to remember things. Back at the Earth base Reeas was talking to Sionn about me.

For you students: you will have to access the events through time-lapse-relay from now on. I know I was supposed to upload my thoughts, but what thoughts? All I knew was I was supposed

to pay the electric bill tomorrow, well, never mind, time for dinner.

Message from the Guardian-Database:

The message above has been inserted into this recording later as Dan Sherman has been temporarily isolated for his own good.

Recordings will continue automatically through the database.

Reeas: ‘How long will Dan have to be in isolation?’

Sionn said, ‘For however long it takes.’

‘Well, I want to go in there.’

‘No!’ said Sionn. ‘That is impossible! He has to be kept there alone.’

‘But, he has no one to relate to.’

‘That is how it has to be, Reeas, we can’t take a chance on him remembering. If you doubt what I say, go into the space-port and contact Debra!’

‘What do you mean?’

‘She is searching everywhere for Dan.’

‘Do you mean she is still conscious of Dan?’

‘Yes and getting more agitated by the minute.’

‘I thought you said she would be deactivated when Dan was gone?’

‘All the evidence said she would be. She seems to have grown beyond all expectations, and if she keeps growing she will become very dangerous.’

‘How could this happen?’

‘We believe it was the experience with Mannus. She got too much power from him.’

‘I think we should get Dan out of isolation.’

‘No! That would be catastrophic!’

‘What are we going to do then?’

Suddenly, Debra was in the room.

‘Where is my Dan?’

‘Debra,’ said Sionn, ‘you must get back to your duties.’

‘My Duty is to Dan!’

‘You are a part of the Guardian-Network.’

‘Not until I find Dan.’

Sionn looked at Reeas. Reeas said, ‘Debra, Dan has gone on a little rest break.’

‘What do you mean?’ Before Reeas could answer, Debra shouted.
