Zo'or and the Abominable Energy Monster
Chapter Two
Zo'or gestured impatiently to his implant, Agent Ronald Sandoval, "I do not care for your excuses, if you are incapable of locating the subject I will simply terminate the project, if there is no evidence to back up these ridiculous accusations then there is no problem."
"But, Zo'or, the project could still succeed, and the amount of resources wasted by terminating it are tremendous," Sandoval protested politely.
"I care nothing for the-" Zo'or was cut off when his attention was drawn to a crackling of electricity near the ceiling of the mother ship. Agent Sandoval raced for the controls, scanning the singularity and finding that, according to the sensors there was nothing there, a fact which he communicated to Zo'or immediately. "How can there be nothing there," Zo'or demanded standing back away from it, yet clearly unwilling to leave the bridge, "It is plainly visible." Suddenly it closed as quickly as it had opened, leaving only a small girl behind. She was clothed completely in a kind of black body suit that covered everything except for her angelic features, dark hair peeked out from the loose black hood that also seemed to be connected to the suit. The only thing about her that was not black was a small white tear dropped shaped mark on the center of her gloved palms, which she held up in a defensive stance.
Sandoval quietly approached her as Zo'or looked on, he pointed his skrill at her and said in a commanding voice, "Identify yourself."
The girl, who appeared to be about fifteen years in age, turned her head slowly to look up at him and he took a step backwards as electricity crackled across her eyes. She slowly stood up, not painfully, as Sandoval had expected, but with the air of a predator who did not want to alarm a potential prey. She gazed about the room and her eyes settled on Zo'or, who was now surrounded by armed volunteers. She slowly began to walk towards Zo'or, ignoring his orders for the volunteers to apprehend her, she smiled as the first one grabbed her arm. Using her far superior strength she pushed him aside, throwing him almost completely across the bridge. Zo'or's eyes filled with apprehension and he ordered the volunteers to fire, meanwhile Sandoval had walked over the where Zo'or stood, trying to get a clear shot as volunteer after volunteer was thrown across the bridge. When Zo'or gave the order to fire their weapons the volunteers fell back and began a hail of energy blasts, all directed toward the girl, who continued to walk forward as if the energy was merely like walking through a summer shower. Sandoval placed himself in front of Zo'or, wondering if his skrill would have a better effect than the volunteer's weapons.
The girl paused when she encountered Sandoval directly between herself and her objective, "Stop, or I will fire!"
She smiled briefly and reached forward, grabbing his arm, obviously intending to throw him across the room to join the other volunteers. Suddenly she paused again, and without any warning reached forward to touch Sandoval's face and initiated a sharing with him. It took her a few moments, while Zo'or watched, his back against the wall, she finished and dropped the now unconscious man to the floor. Next she turned her attention to Zo'or.
"Zo'or," she said, addressing the Taelon in an almost disgusted voice, "I suppose you are the other, a pity, that means I cannot kill you."
"What is it you want?" Zo'or asked in an authoritative voice.
"Well, it looks very much, like what I want is you," the girl said. Then she reached toward Zo'or, who tried not to show the fear he was feeling. She carefully touched his face and initiated another sharing.
Zo'or tried to resist the first mental probe, but she was much too strong, she simply overwhelmed his defenses and took his thoughts anyway. Soon she new everything he knew about Earth, every thought he had ever had concerning it's future and it's exploitation, she seemed to want very specific information. He tried to see her thoughts as well, but he could only pick up those parts from her mind that she did not feel had to be protected. He seemed to see a great bright light, intersected and dispersed by a piece of dark debris, and then he felt an incredible fear, and then he saw the events of the last few moments from her point of view. He was puzzled by the surprise she had felt when she had encountered Agent Sandoval, and the dismay at his being Zo'or's protector. And then only one word, Re'carusha.
