Chapter 3: The KARR project Part 2

Commander Laura Webb disconnected the video phone and turned on her heel. She lived not far from where Ephraim Knight's Estate was. She was an Infiltrator, a special class of slave whose sole purpose was to get inside someone's home or job and either kill or torture a particular target. She was also born with a unique gift given to her by years of drug treatment for a cancer that she had been told was untreatable. She had downloaded plans for The Knight Automated Roving Robot that Regent Luthor had sent over and now she was studying the notes that a Russian insurgent had sent over about Vladimir Knight and Ephraim Knight, her target. She was to take advantage of Ephraim sexually and then kill him by overwhelming him with her gift of draining his life energy during sexual intercourse. It was a gift a rare few only knew about. She had used the gift years ago to blackmail her ex-boyfriend into breaking up with his new girlfriend. She had released a sex tape showing the two of them having sex at a bar, which forced her ex to continue dating her. Years later, she had killed him after he had gone to the news media about a rape that had occurred when she had broken into his home, and forced herself on him. It was now 3 years after that event and she had been hired by anyone but had been branded a slave. She arrived at the Knight Estate and she pressed the intercom.

"Yea?" came a voice over the intercom, gruff and efficient. She spoke, giving an alternate name she used.

"Laura Williams. I'm a tech assistant who was referred by The Regent. I was sent to make sure this project is finished before the Regent arrives," She said. The gate then opened. She then pulled up to the lab and walked in. She then saw a spark come from the prototype vehicle.

"I see you guys are working on this top secret prototype for the United Empire of America. I'm here to see a Mr. Ephraim Knight," Laura said, smiling with a slight twist. Wilton looked up from his computer.

"What do you need my father for?" He asked. "The Regent requested I keep you people on schedule," She said to the boy.

"Here He comes now," One of the scientists said. Ephraim stared at her.

"Who are you?" He asked. She then flipped out her badge. The name Laura Williams and the title Second-In-Command were on the badge.

"So Regent Luthor sent you. As you can see my team is on schedule, but we are having issues," Ephraim said as He walked in with his personal assistant. She shook her head. She brought up an electronic tablet and brought up a timetable that was authorized by Lionel Luthor.

"I'm here to put you back on schedule, Mr. Knight," Laura said. Ephraim shook his head.

"We are on schedule, Ms. Williams," Ephraim said. He then brought up his own schedule that was authorized by Regent Luthor 2 hours ago but it was written in the ancient Kryptonese language.

"What language is this?" She asked as she saw the ancient alien hieroglyphics and touched one of the hieroglyphics and it glowed.

"It is from a planet far from your solar system, Laura, and your people will never find it. Your Regent is searching for some way to heal himself of his sickness, but He will never find his cure," Ephraim said.

"He's not sick," She protested. Ephraim smiled, not with malice in his eyes, but with a look of sadness.

"He's sick, dying of Cancer due to a life of smoking and dealing with chemicals," Ephraim said as he brought up a recorded holographic video of a conversation between Lionel and Ephraim a few hours ago. The camera view switched to an X-ray mode that showed Lionel's lungs were filled with cancerous cells.

"Oh My God! What can we do?" Laura said. Ephraim shook his head.

"Nothing I'm afraid. His team of scientists have just discovered the galaxy my world is from but they will never discover Krypton," Ephraim said.

"Krypton?" Laura asked. He smiled at her. "A bright jewel in a vast dark galaxy. We are years ahead of you at least in ways of technology, science and of course medicine. We are behind in ways of politics and religion. We are ruled much like it is here on Earth. An Emperor rules us with an iron fist. The Regent discovered that my planet holds the cure for his medical issue just as the Dragon Dagger may hold the cure for the alternate Dr. Banner who went home. I know Lionel. He'll discover my world eventually and then discover that my people have been looking for another Krypton," Ephraim said.

"Mr. Knight what do you mean?" She said as she set the tablet down and moved to make herself a drink and then unseen by Ephraim, poured a chemical into his drink.

"The Dragon Dagger opened a portal to another reality similar to ours. But this reality isn't as militarily aggressive as either your Earth or my native Krypton. This alternate reality is weaker than this one. While we have the technological advances, this alternate reality has one thing ours doesn't," Ephraim said as he accepted the drink. She smile a wicked smile and asked, And what is that, Mr. Knight,"

Ephraim took a sip and smiled. "Compassion, Miss Williams,"

He then started to feel a little dizzy. "What did you do to me," He asked as he dropped the glass and it shattered on the ground and he fell to the ground.

Laura motioned for a slave of her's to come help pick up Ephraim.

"Hannah, help me put him on the bed," Laura said to the young woman. The young woman stared at her master.

"Miss Webb, I'm not strong enough to lift the man up," The teenage looking woman said timidly.

"Refresh me on your name and class," Laura said.

"My name is Hannah Melvin and I am a slave," Hannah said…
