THE CELESTIAL ANGELS -PART TWO
"WHO ARE YOU?"
"I am Adam and this is Tara...trust be, commander John Koenig, it is easier this way"
John's browe knotts, "I SAID WHO ARE YOU? WHAT DO YOU WANT?"
"Who we are, will matter little to you...your primitive minds will not be able to even begin to understand our existance..oh...possibly one of you might"
John Koenig watches as Adam circles him and looks at everybody in turn. Paul stares right at Adam.
"I ASKED YOU WHAT YOU WANTED?"
It is Tara that answers this time. Her voice is like a beautiful tune.
"We offer you a way home...ALL OF YOU..."
Adam comes to her side and picks up where she leaves off.
"For a price..."
Koenig narrows his eyes at him, "for a price? What kind of price?"
Adam didn't answer him, but Tara comes forward, her voice sings.
"Sometimes too much too soon is dangerous"
Helena swallows down and decides to ask about Tara and Adam's welfare, "the bodies you inhabit...are they alright? Have they been...", she trails off thinking the worst.
Adam warmly smiles, his hair still moving in the unseen wind, "I can assure you that the two humans we inhabit have been unharmed...but please, Dr Russell, don't take our kind word for it...examine us...we have nothing to hide..."

In the Medical unit, Dr Bob Mathias watches with a clipboard as Adam lays back on the bed. Helena has performed a complete medical check up.
"Are you satisfied Dr Russell?"
John Keonig who had stood back and observed comes forward, "So? Does he check out?"
Helena shakes her head as she takes the chart off Mathias, "Yes...everything seems normal...according to these results, I have carried out an exstensive medical check up on a healthy human being", she informs him.
Adam jumps off the bed and pulls on his bright clean toga. Koenig turns and points at the symbols, "What do they mean? The markings on your gowns"
"Peace...peace to us and all...we have no quarry with you or your people John Koenig", replies Adam.
The commander strides forward and folds his arms, "you know all our names...is that because you have scanned the minds of Jennings and Caswell?"
Adam tilts his head at him, "No...it's not that at all...we are aware of everything, we can see brain wave patterns, they are all around me and are about every person...there is quite an aura around you Commander..."
John didn't know whether that was good or bad.
"How you have strived to make sure that each and everybody on this base is safe...your struggles have taken their tolls...but...for a primitive race, you have stood well...it seems that without you Commander, Alpha wouldn't have lasted as long as it has..."
Koenig stands his ground, "You're too kind"
"It's quite an achievement...you should be proud of yourself...each and everyone on Alpha looks to your commander...well...most..."
Adam went over to the window and stares out to the luna rock outside. Helena comes to John's side and looks at him and then at Adam listening carefully of what is being said.
Adam turns to face them and smiles, "There is a time when your blood will run cold commander...there will be a time when you will fall victim to those you strive to keep safe"
Koenigs blood was running cold now, let alone sometime in the future, after hearing that.
"You said that you could get us all home...is that true?"
"There is a way...not in way you would hope for...but in a sense, I can make you walk on your home world again and put all this behind you"
"And the price?"
"Your lifeseed...my people have long since died out...we are the lone survivors of a civilisation that was the greatest in the known universe...we were gods...gods among men...but you can help us...we can help each other...you give us your life seed...we will make you walk your world again"
Helena clears her throat, "Life seed? What do you mean by that?", her eyes searches Adams.
"The men on this base are fertile...they carry the seeds for the next generation...just think what it would mean if this generation was up there amongst the gods"

John Koenig strides into his office with his head in his hands. He needs time to think. They had come across many weird oddities since the moon broke away from the earth, but this took the biscuit.
"They are asking for sperm donation!", he cries out aloud.
Professor Bergman leans on the desk and shakes his head, "Not just sperm John...they want eggs as well from the women...they want to create and modify a race of people from scratch..."
John looks at him, "but how could they get us home? What does 'in a sense' mean? They can either take us or not"
Bergman crosses over to him and rubs his cheek, "I don't trust them John...I don't know what it is but there is something not quite right about all of this"
{ he has a mechanical heart...we can manipulate the ones with beating hearts...this one will not be manipulated...it would have been a problem...but his lifeforce is nearly over...by the time John Koenigs blood runs cold the old one will be no more}
{when will this be? We need to harvest these creatures...}
{Soon...very very soon...}
