Theren sub base

 Chapter 51-Theren 1 Sub Base

Grenwer was happier than usual. He said, ‘The apprentice is at present being held in isolation on the astral base here at Theren1.’

‘Good.’ I said, ‘I want to see him.’

‘Yes, but first I want you to take the Conscious-Mental-Probe test. Try to locate Reeas and Deria.’

‘Yes,’ but you know Kallo’s apprentice is banking on us wanting to bargain for his, and also Kallo’s release again.’

‘I know, but we have to try, maybe he didn’t make his normal exact preparations.’

‘Yes, I know, but I have something that will persuade him better than mere threats.’

‘Oh, what is that?’ Grenwer said.

‘Please don’t ask, just let me see him, you can observe through the monitors.’

I was led to the Isolation Cells; they are special astral cells which were supposed to be escape proof, but Kallo being Kallo did escape more than once, well, I will try to persuade this apprentice to stay for a while.

Kallo, or the apprentice looked unmoved; he knew he was trapped but probably thought it would be a short time till he escaped again, he looked at me with contempt.

‘Well, look who it is, the-Trainee.’

‘Yes, and look at you, the Master, in jail.’

‘Not for long.’

‘Who are you? You look like Kallo, but obviously you are someone else.’ In the next instance I knew I had to get to him for some reason, and I don’t know why? I simply walked into his supposedly escape proof cell. He looked stunned; he jumped up and ran for the door probably thinking that he could get out. I grabbed him by the neck as I turned into Cloft the Tourgen clone. He tried in vain to get free; I put my other hand on his forehead as Mannus came into my consciousness. I could feel the power starting to generate through me to the apprentice then from the apprentice to me. I released him; he slumped to the floor unconscious. Grenwer came in.

‘How did you do that?’ he said.

I don’t know? ‘I just felt like doing it.’

‘Could it be that you are a Special-Envoy for Mannus?’

‘If I am, then I am, all I know is I have to follow my destiny. The other thing is, I may not know where Reeas and Deria are, but I know where they are not.’

‘Really?’ said Grenwer.

‘Yes, and we can’t use the worm-hole at Eta 63457.’

‘I thought so; we didn’t scan any irregularities, but to be sure it would take a lot of time.’

‘Yes, also it wouldn’t do us any good to go there anyway. Reeas and Deria are not in any of the access areas known to us from Eta 63457.’

‘What are you saying?’

‘I am saying they are nowhere to be found in this Universe.’

‘How do you know?’

‘Mannus told me.’

‘But there are no crossover points here in this sector of this Universe.’

I know, but even so, they are not here. They were thrown into Dark-Space, as you know.’

‘Yes,’ said Grenwer.

‘Well, they were then catapulted into another Universe.’

‘By what?’
