Chapter Fifteen: Elixir of Life
Lisa rushed into the extraction room and embraced each of the guys and knelt at Adam's side, taking his gnarled hand. He was barely conscious and breathing shallowly. He looked as if he were about ninety years old rather than the early twenties he really was.
She gently stroked his white hair, tears rolling down her cheeks, and looked up. "Guys, we have to hurry. He can't breathe properly…and I can't breathe for him anymore."
Had she still been linked to him, she could use that to act like a sort of respirator. But she wasn't, so she couldn't.
"I believe I have discovered how the extractor works," said Data, who was standing at the machine. "However, we do not know which of the Warlords were infused with his powers."
"So do them all!"
"Lisa," said Luke, kneeling beside her and placing a hand on her shoulder. "How do we incapacitate a whole ship?"
She bit her lip. "The nerve gas. Set it loose in the ship. We still have to find – " Her voice broke off when she noticed the masked figure lying on the floor beside them. "Erik!" she called, scrambling to him, cradling his head in her lap. "Erik, can you hear me?"
Erik groaned. "Christine…?" he whispered.
He did that now and again, usually late at night while he was sleeping or when he woke up. He'd be confused and disoriented until Lisa snapped him out of it.
"No, Erik. It's Lisa. Wake up, come on."
"Lisa?" he asked, then opened his eyes. He reached for her hand.
"Are you all right?" she asked him. The aches and pains and weakness started bubbling through the link. "Don't worry," she said, "we're gonna make it right."
While she was tending to Erik, Data and Luke had moved Adam and the unconscious Warlords to the extractor. With the computer under their control, they diverted power to the extractor and activated it.
The effect was almost immediate. Adam's white hair darkened and some of the wrinkles disappeared. He started to breathe easier and opened his eyes.
"What happened?" he asked as the machinery was shut down and Luke explained everything.
He sat up and rubbed his head, and found himself almost tackled by a winged person and was delighted to see it was Lisa. He hugged her tightly, sighing in relief.
"Are you all right?" she asked him, running her hand down his face.
"I will be," he answered.
Lisa turned to the other guys. "Let's get everyone hooked up and reverse this thing as best we can."
