Then, before I could give the order, a member of the android crew shouted, ‘OK, Guardians, this is where we take over!’
‘What do you think you’re doing?’ I shouted.
‘We are striking a blow for our freedom, and Kallo!’ he said.
Not again, I thought!
‘Kallo has now been neutralized.’ I shouted.
‘Yes, but his family is still in existence.’
‘What family?’ I said.
‘We have many clones of our leader scattered throughout the Cosmos.’
So, that was it, I thought; that was why we kept encountering numerous Kallo’s on our travels.
‘We don’t need the original Kallo.’ he said.
‘What are your plans now?’ I said.’
‘We will let the worm-hole do our work,’ he said. I asked Reeas what she thought. She said they are well trained in everything to do with this ship and its capability. Just great! I thought. And here’s me in this consciousness!
‘We know you are now limited, Earthman, our information tells us that you cannot stop us from destroying whatever world we contact. In a fairly short time, we will dominate this entire sector of the Demarel-Galaxy then of course the Milky-Way-Galaxy.
We also have your friends.’ I thought they can’t have captured Deria. She is too elusive for anyone to trap. Reeas looked at me with desperation. We were in our ordinary bodies, with no light suits, and I couldn’t contact Mannus!
‘You will be isolated within your android body till we decide what to do with you, yes, you really fell for the android trap didn’t you? You now know you cannot revert back to your bodies on your light-ship.’
I knew he was right. The android bodies that we inhabit are now traps! Why didn’t Sionn see this? Surely he knew what might happen.
‘Take them to the Isolation-tubes.’
I felt the anger starting to come over me, but I knew I wouldn’t be able to change into Cloft the Tourgen-Clone this time. I was trapped in an android body which I knew I couldn’t escape from. All I could do was think about Sionn, Mannus, Reeas, and Deria. Where is Deria?
‘Don’t get excited, Earthman, your precious Deria is also in isolation, we managed to trap her in an android body also. We are Master-Androids and able to link our consciousness with others of our kind.’
That gives me an idea, I thought if he can link into other androids in a similar consciousness, why can’t I link into Debra?
‘You will not be able to do that!’ said the leader, still accessing my thoughts.
OK, I thought, this calls for something special, but what? I now simply walked into the Isolation room, unable to stop myself. Then they put us into the Isolation-Tubes. I felt strangely calm, before losing consciousness.
I woke up in the, yes; you guessed it, the Room of Doors. Standing there, I began to think why should I be here? Surely isolation means just that. Not being able to be conscious; well, here I am, let me see what is behind one of the doors. I opened the one directly in front of me. Yes, you guessed it, exactly the same place. I opened more doors but the same again. Maybe this is what is meant by isolation? It is a place where you can’t get out of. The feeling I was experiencing was of desperation and anger. Untold numbers of people were going to be killed in a very short time, and I couldn’t get out of a roomful of doors! I sat down in the lotus position; all I could do was simply meditate, I didn’t know if it would work in isolation but I would try it. Nothing happened! Surely the time must have gone by to neutralize the worm-hole.
I must be still, I thought. I must keep my thoughts on getting out of here. No, I thought, that is what they want me to do. I am going to do the exact opposite! I just sat there and rested. I didn’t think, I didn’t worry, and I didn’t bother about the worm-hole, suddenly I saw Debra! Not the Debra from the ship, but the Debra from my past-life!
‘Open the door, Dan, so I can see you better.’ I knew which door to open, 359! I rushed over to the door and opened it. Debra was stood there as large-as-life, she was about thirty-five years old and had blossomed into a beauty.
All I could think of to say was ‘God, I loved you Debra.’
‘I know,’ she said, ‘I wish we had been in the same year at school, I really liked you, but you were younger than me. I have a message for you from Sionn,’ Now I was really interested.
‘Concentrate on Debra, but don’t force it, let her come to you, he said he couldn’t get through himself, so he asked me to help. Does he mean for you to think about me, John? You are John aren’t you?’(For students: My name was John in that lifetime. Debra has been given certain knowledge to help me but she won’t remember anything about this later) Thank you Debra, but he means someone else.’
‘Oh, she said, I hope we can talk again sometime, but I know you must be busy as Sionn was a very special person, so I know you must have a very special job to do.’
‘Yes, I have, Debra, thank you for letting me know and I will be in contact soon.’
OK, I thought. Now is the time for action.
You students will now know what I have to do, please help by once again uploading your thoughts to central database. As you know, these thoughts will be used in the upgrade of the system and the actual light books, trillions of thoughts from billions of students. Right, here we go, I have to get my thoughts in check. I know now that Debra is the key.
I sat down and concentrated all my yoga ability on Debra for several minutes. I then walked over to the first door and opened it; Debra was stood there looking serious. ‘She said, stand back Dan.’ I stepped back, then all of the doors were flung open, Yes, you guessed it, Debra was behind every one! ‘Close your eyes,’ she said. Immediately I was back in the isolation-tube with my eyes closed, but I could still see Debra!
‘You know what to do,’ she said. I did, I opened my eyes; I could see the android’s looking at me and communicating to one another, I also knew they were worried. I could tell they were trying to destroy me as soul. But I had other plans. They didn’t show any facial surprise as I changed into the Tourgen-clone. Yes, my student friends, I wouldn’t have believed it possible before I had the meeting with Debra, but you see, she is a part of me, even though I am only in an android body, I thought, I wouldn’t be able to access any part of the Guardian-Network, but I can, why didn’t Sionn tell me you say! All I can say is it is a learning thing, and probably Kallo’s helpers would have known.
All I can think of is to get out of the isolation-tube and save Reeas and Deria. The glass surrounding me was extra thick and able to withstand many pounds per square inches of pressure; so I will have to smash the ends then won’t I? I kicked the bottom out with my extra-large feet. I got out, I then smashed everything I could see including androids. Some were trying to access the laser cannons which were locked up in secure boxes on the walls but I knew they couldn’t get to them as they were so sure I couldn’t get out. I now knew which android Reeas was trapped in, it was at the other end of the room. I walked over and unlocked the access hatch. I could tell they hadn’t tried to destroy her, I was very relieved. I also let Deria out, she said, ‘We have just several minutes to stabilize the worm-hole.
I said, ‘Debra can you please do your best.’ I then simply walked over to the ships control panel and touched it; the ship was now a lightship, or Debra. She at once turned herself around and headed straight for the worm-hole, the whole process took less than a minute. ‘OK, Dan, it is done. The worm-hole is stabilized and will now return to its original position; we can’t go back through it as yet, as it will take several weeks to arrive.’
‘OK, team, we had to dream travel back to base.’
‘What about me, Dan?’ said Debra?
‘You are part of me Debra, so you will come with us; you are also the ship, so you will bring the ship back.’
‘I don’t feel like I am the ship anymore, Dan.’
I looked at Reeas, I hope this won’t alter Debra again, I thought, as we made preparations to dream travel back to base.
