I'm back with chapter 2! I had a lot of inspiration so wrote this down.
We'll get to know what happened with the outpost now :D
Oh also I don't own anything!

Chapter 2: The Outpost
Terran year 1987 In an Outpost on an unknown Planet
In the last built Ancient Outpost was silence you heard nothing, no noise like everyone was gone or dead all the lights are out except for the emergency lights. When suddenly in the middle of the transportation room a bright white light came, and 3 people appeared from it. A Small boy around 10-11-years-old and 2 adults around their 30s.
"Wow, that's so cool!" said Alexander to his parents excitedly.
"I don't think I will ever get used to this… I wonder how far from Earth we got transported." Said John.
"It's very quiet, too quiet and dark I can barely see anything. It looks only like the emergency lights are on but even those are very weak." said Amelia.
"Well, Janus told me those ZPM's I had to take are their main energy sources it's possible that the outpost's ZPM's are nearly empty we should find the generator room and replace the old ones with the new ones we've got." said John.
"Alright let's go and try to find the room as fast as possible." Said Amelia while she started walking towards the transportation room's open door with her family following her. The door led to a horizontal hallway where most rooms had open doors but those closest to them were closed. "Alright let's split up Alexander you take the left side of the hallway, the left side rooms and John you also take the left side of the hallway but the right side rooms I will look at the right side of the hallway and their rooms. If you got something say it, and we will come to you."
"Alright Mom / Yes Dear." they answered and went their separate ways.
At first most rooms they found were empty but at the near end of the hallway both left and right they found some living quarters. At both the left and right end of the hallway are stairs that lead to the 2 upper floors. They also found that in the middle of the hallway is an open door that leads to a second hallway with a single closed door at the end.
"I'll take the first floor while both of you take the second one. If you find the Generator Room come and get me." said John while they met up at the left side of the hallway. They then went on their own way. On the second floor Alexander found what looked like the control room of the outpost. He yelled for his mother to come as he went inside of the room. In the back of the room was a huge metal circle with some letters or signs that he assumed was in the Alteran Language. There were also some consoles like the one in the vault. He could see everything very well and when he looked up he saw that the outpost was dome like made. He walked to one of the consoles and touched it with his hand when his mother came in. The console sprang to life when suddenly a soft female voice started talking.
"High Councilor has been designated, please give your name."
"Alexander Sebastian Cross"
"Welcome High Councilor to the New Hope Outpost I shall tell you the outpost's Status:
The main ZPM's are only at 2,3% capacity, The Stasis Pods and Time Dilation Device, whose ZPM is at 3%, are still Active, Transportation Room: Active, Maintenance Robots: 3 of the 10 inactive and 7 are not responding, Gathering Robots: 2 out of 5 inactive and 3 not responding, Storage Room: Half-full of resources, Cloak: Inactive because the Shield is active, Shield is at 10% strength and lowering, emergency lights are active to spare power, ZPM Collector around the sun is not responding, Gateships are inactive, Weapons: Drone Launcher has 100 drones and is inactive, Molecular Construction Device: Inactive and the ZPM is at 15%, Research and Medical Lab: Inactive, Hydroponics Lab: Inactive and has no food.
Do you wish to Deactivate the Time Dilation device and open the stasis pods?"
"Mother what should I do?" asked Alexander worried he did something bad.
"Nothing yet we should wait for your dad. We could use this time to ask questions from it."
"Ok Mom. No, I do not wish to Deactivate the Time Dilation Device and open the Stasis Pods. I do have some questions though."
"Order acknowledged. What are your questions?"
His mother was whispering the questions to Alexander while he asked them.
"What is a Molecular Construction Device?"
"The Molecular Construction Device is a construction device that can build anything from molecules as long as it is connected to a Repository of Knowledge or Database."
"How many Pods are there?" "500 Pods."
"How many people are using these Pods?" "397 are being used right now."
"How does the Time Dilation Device work?"
"The Time Dilation Device is set to slow the time of the Stasis pods. Normally a Stasis pod is set so that every 200 years outside is 1 year inside. Before the Atlanteans went inside their Pods, they modified them so that instead of every 200 years outside for 1 year inside it'd be 1000 years and that had been prolonged even more by the TDD. The TDD is set so that it slowed it down even further so that every 5000 years outside equals to 1 year inside. Which means that the people in the pods aged 2 years instead of the 50 years that should've happened. This however came at the cost of using a very high amount of Zero-Point Energy."
"Are there any foreign people in the pods?" "No."
"What is this room?"
"This is the Outpost's Control Room. Most things happen from here, from activating the Stargate to activating the weapons and shields or checking the status from the other rooms."
"How come when the outpost got built, they did not contact Atlantis?"
"At the time the outpost got built unknown ships came out of hyperspace in this system. They dared not to contact Atlantis in fear that their communications would be noticed and that they would get attacked by these unknown ships. They had not enough resources to fight them off should they be enemies so instead they went into stasis with the cloak on in hope they would not get discovered. They did get briefly out again to construct a ZPM Collector but that got blown up when one of the unknown ships came back."
"Ships? Do you know how they looked like?"
"I have a bit of information about one of these ships yes. The ship has a length of 27m and a height of 9m. It has a triangle like form with wings on the middle side of the of the ship. On those wings there were unknown weapons. We think it also has a small shield because when it came into the system, we detected an energy spike from the ships, and it is also has a Hyperdrive."
"What are you? I should have asked that before, but I forgot about it."
"I'm New Hope's AI named Hope. I'm the newest AI created in Atlantis by Darius and brought here to work with the Alterans."
New Hope Lower Floor 1
Meanwhile on the first lower floor John was searching for the Generator Room. He passed some closed doors until he found a storage room. Inside he found a big room with multiple robots and all of them inactive. On the left side were 3 robots and 2 on the right side they looked different from each other, so he assumed they had different roles.
"Such a big room for only 5 robots? I suppose there were more of them something must have happened with the rest..." he muttered and continued searching the other rooms until he found the room he sought for. He found a room with an active door, but it has a shield on it, and you need to enter some code on the right side of the door and scan your hand before you could undo the shield and open the door.
'That might be the Generator Room' he thought and started walking again looking at the other rooms. Most other rooms that are open are living quarters and he went back to go to the first floor and searched for his family. After a couple of minutes he heard someone talking and went to look what was happening when he heard another voice "…. with the Alterans."
"What's happening here?" he asked
"Alexander found the control room and at the same time became the 'High Councilor' we were asking questions to the AI to explain what happened here and asked questions about the Alterans from the outpost. Oh, sweetie can you ask what it means being the high Councilor?" Amelia explained after she said that Alexander asked it
"The High Councilor is the leader of the Alterans. Normally they have a council where he with the council are the governing body from the Alterans."
"Alexander you should change that and be the sole ruler of the Alterans and be the sole leader of everything. Later on, you could appoint people to help you with specific tasks like research, ship builder things like that." said John
"Hope, is it possible to change what my father said?" asked Alexander
"Yes, it is but we'll need the majority of the people to accept that" explained Hope
"It means we need to get those people out of stasis and deactivate the Time Dilation Device."
"Time Dilation Device? What's that?"
"We'll explain later dear. Did you find the Generator Room?"
"I think I did. On the First lower floor is a door active but defended with a shield. You need to scan your hand and enter a code to deactivate the shield and open the door."
"How do we open it." asked Alexander
"I can help you with this. The High Councilor has a personal code with that code he can open any door in the outpost. You can change your code any time. I will need to scan your hand and then you can choose the code you want. It must be 6 characters long. Once you are done you will able to open the Generator Room's door." Hope said helpfully
"That's great! Go Alexander chose your code carefully." said his father
He scanned his hand and took 6 times the same symbol because he did not know what they meant and went for the easiest way. After that had been done, they went the Generator Room in the meantime they explained what happened in the control room. When they arrived at the room and unlocked it, they saw a big machine in the middle of the room in that machine were 2 ZPM's 1 was empty, completely blacked out and the other was near empty with still some light shining from it behind the machine were 3 other empty ZPM's on a wall shelf. John took the Full ZPM's and switched the empty ones out with the full ones in his hand he put the empty, near empty and full one on the wall shelf behind the machine. Immediately after that had been done, they went back to the control room.
"ZPM Status has changed from 2,3% to 100% I activated all doors already. Do you wish to restore the lights and put the shield on full strength?"
"You can restore the lights and is there a need to have the strength at full shield?" asked Alexander
While the lights went back on Hope answered "At the moment there is no need to have the shield on. The shield was on because a volcano had erupted not long ago even if it did not come to the outpost it was on to be sure."
"Then you can shut it down. You can also deactivate the TDD and slowly start awakening the people in stasis. Meanwhile we'll be going there to help the people. Can you tell us where it is?"
"It shall be done, and it is on the 2nd Lower Floor."
"I think we all know where it is, in that 2nd hallway, there was a single door closed. It's there where we need to go." said Amelia
They went to the 2nd Lower Floor to the stasis room. It was indeed there where Amelia said it was and they all went inside. They saw the people getting out of stasis and went to help those who had trouble standing. One by one they were helping them out and those who got helped and started feeling better began helping the other people once everyone was on his feet and feeling better, someone spoke to them.
"Thank You for your help but I must ask, who are you and what are you doing here?" he said with a neutral voice.
"My name is John Cross next to me is my wife Amelia Cross and the little one in front of us is our son Alexander Cross. We are from Earth and came here to bring the Alteran Empire back."
"From Earth? Finally, some help! ..." people murmured.
"My name is Darius thank you for helping us. May I ask how you came here?" asked the now identified Darius.
"My Ancestor Janus helped us with that. He constructed the transportation device you had send him and had put his memories in an AI, so the AI was basically him. He then told us what happened with the Alterans 10,000 years ago and asked us to help you all and lead our people back to glory and to the stars."
"Ah Janus he was a good man. Well thank you for your help John what did you bring with you when you came here and what has happened when we were in stasis?"
"Janus had 3 full ZPM's and told me to take them to the Outpost. We searched for the Generator room while I went to the 1st lower floor and they went to the first floor. While I searched for the Generator room. My son here found the control room and somehow got himself elected as High Councilor. When I found the room, I went back and found them talking to Hope the AI. We talked a bit and went changing the ZPM's 1 was empty and the other near empty. We went back to the control room and then awakened you all and well the rest you know."
"That is great and all but isn't he too young to be a High Councilor maybe he should drop that title and be a normal child."
"Yes, maybe he is too little for the title, but you are all to pacifist to be a High Councilor. Tell me does anyone here know anything about battles?" no answer.
"About leading people?" again no answer.
"Alexander is young and I acknowledge it, but he is also special, he can manipulate ZPE and is very smart for his age. The other children with whom he plays with usually look up to him. I hate to say this, but he is a good candidate. The only thing he needs is that people need to teach him the things he doesn't know. On Earth I have been in the army for a while I know tactics and how to fight. His mother has been in politics she can help him with the little things. You all can help and teach him other things like how to build all the machines here, how to grow food all the things we need to survive so that he can properly lead the revival of our people."
"ZPE Manipulation? How is that possible?" asked Darius looking startled together with the other Alterans.
"Janus theorized that an ascended or demi ascended being bred with the people back on Earth and this has led to a mutation which makes them able to manipulate ZPE. Later, we can study this mutation once everything has been settled down."
"Wow something like this could happen?" muttered Darius "What about his childhood? Children shouldn't live with such a burden."
"The second he entered the outpost he lost his childhood…" Said John sadly.
After discussing this with some of the adults, they finally agreed on it. "Alright we'll do that then. Is there anything else you want to tell us?"
"Yes, we want to change the Leadership Structure but that's only possible if at least half of the people agree with it. We want that Alexander is the only leader and that no one can force such a change." Immediately after he said that most of the people protested until Darius told them to stop talking.
"Why do you want to change it?"
"It's as I told you all before, you all want no fighting anymore, you are all too peaceful but how will you bring back the Alteran Empire when you think like that? No, if we want to bring it back things need to change. But don't worry once he becomes older a new council will be made again that will help Alexander. You must not forget do you really think he can do everything alone? That's impossible. So, what do you say?" slowly the people talked and talked till they had an answer and relayed it to Darius. Darius looked at the family and thought about how honest they have been until now and how they helped them with the outpost and agreed with the decision.
"We talked about it and… we agree. It is as you said we do not have the mindset for it, we are too pacific to be leaders and fighters we can't do those things. We are only simple mechanics, researchers, doctors most of us are trainees we have no military training. We shall help you in rebuilding our empire but please do not let us fight we have seen enough fighting as it is."
Before John could reply Alexander spoke up "That would be no problem Darius you will have to come with us to confirm it to Hope so we can change that. All the others please listen. We will need to start the Hydroponic Lab again to start growing food use the Time Dilation Device to speed it up and the Molecular Construction Device if you need things. I also need people to check on the Gateships we might need them in the future, and I want to know what happened to the robots that are not responding and the ZPM Collector." Ordering and showing to the people the start of a fine leader. After Alexander said that he whispered to his mom if he did a good job in telling the people what to do and she whispered back to her son confirming him that he had done a great job.
After that everybody went to do their Jobs 40 people went to the Living Quarters to put everything in order there. Around 35 people went to check on the Gateships. 20 people went to the Hydroponics Lab after they moved the Time Dilation Device there and another 5 people went to the Molecular Construction Device to get some Seeds to grow food at the same time 10 people went to get water for the Hydroponics Lab. The 10 cooks went to the Mess Hall and put everything in order there so they could start cooking once they got some food. The 70 Mechanics started checking everything to see if there are no problems with all the machines and would end with checking the robots. 6 People with Darius went with the Cross's to Hope where the 5 people that followed with them went to the different consoles to check on the status of the different planets in the solar system, the outpost and the outpost's planet, the ZPM Collector and if there are any unknown or enemy ships. The Doctors were checking the people who felt a bit weak after the Stasis and the researchers went to look over the information Hope recorded these past 10,000 years and look if something interesting happened.
That's when they saw the 36 children with the oldest being around the 10 years old and the youngest around 6 years old. That was unexpected John and Amelia thought. Before Darius had left with the 6 people they asked about the children.
"Ah yes Lana is the oldest, she is 10 years old and nearly 9 before she went into stasis. The youngest of the children is Marius 7 and a half years old. The others are in between them their ages."
"I didn't know there were children here but that's nice." Said John and after he said it, he said quietly "Maybe Alexander will have a childhood." Darius heard it but said nothing about it. "Darius, I know this is wrong, but we should include the children in training at least battle training and whatever they want to be later."
Darius sighs he had seen this coming "I agree but only once they are 6 years old not sooner so that they can still enjoy having some good proper freedom before being send to train."
"I agree with this, this is a good thing for when there are new children." Agreed John.
"I have an idea to speed the training up. We could put them under the TDD so that 1 year outside will be 2 years inside it should have enough power left for 5 outside years since we'll need to use the TDD on a huge scale for the food growing." Darius explained his idea.
"That is not bad. However, every outside year we need to take a small pause first to get new books for Alexander to train his ZPM abilities. Researchers could come in with us so they can start looking at our ZPE Cores and since we have to research many things from scratch they could also start researching for new weapons and shields and perhaps an improvement on the ZPM's?" said John.
"Alright that is a good plan. I am also curious about the ZPE Core, would his children have one too?" asked Darius.
"There is a high possibility they will. As long as you don't inbreed from what I heard the children nearly always have magic then. Janus told us to use the ascension machine and our cores grew a bit but Alexander's core grew a lot and every child that becomes 11 years old will go through their 'Magical Maturity' that is when their core will grows most they have another one when they are 17 and a last one at 70. Since he is an Alteran I do not know how that affects his 'Magical Maturity', because he is a full blooded Alteran and they usually live for a longer time I don't know if there could be more Magical Maturities."
"Interesting… very interesting I am curious about his first magical maturity when is it?"
"In a month he will be 11 years old." after that conversation they went to the first floor to talk to Hope.
"Welcome back Darius. How are you?" asked Hope.
"Hello Hope, I am fine, thank you for asking. I also want to say that everybody in the outpost agrees with John's plan to change the Leadership Structure."
"Acknowledged I shall change it immediately."
"Thank you Hope."
"We'll start training tomorrow if that is good for you?" said John
"Yes, that should be no problem. I will tell the people who know the most about their job to train the children."
"Alright that's fine. How long do you think it will take for the food to grow?"
"Around 3 to 4 hours. They are going to use the TDD to let it grow a month per hour so that we can grow a variety of vegetables in 3 to 4 months though there will be no meat for now." "That's fine as long as I eat something I might go back to earth and buy some meat from there. Unless we find some animals here without using too much resources?" before Darius could reply they got interrupted by one of the console operators.
"Excuse me, we think we found the lost gathering and maintenance robots. The ZPM Collector around the sun has been destroyed we can salvage some of the materials and maybe some of the ZPM's over there are full it seems that the maintenance robots are there too. The gathering robots are not far from the outpost." said the console operator.
"Thank you for finding them what is your name?" Alexander asked the woman.
"You are welcome High Councilor. My name is Selena."
"Thank you again Selena. Can you ask some people to go and bring back the gathering robots and to search for the maintenance robots and ZPM's near the sun after they finished checking the Gateships out?"
"I shall do that High Councilor."
"Stop calling me that and call me by my name." then he turned to the others and spoke again "Let's check on the others I want to have a look at these spaceships!" He finished totally excited at the end thinking about spaceships "Darius bring me to the spaceships!" Alexander ordered.
Laughing Darius spoke "Haha sure I will bring you there Alexander." still laughing and went to the Gateship Hangar with the others.
"I have a question Darius, does everyone in New Hope have some powers like telekinesis or telepathy or any other power?" asked Amelia
"No not everyone here has one those with powers are usually older and closer to ascension than the others, only a couple of us have them around 50-60 people or so have some of these powers and the children we aren't sure yet since those manifest usually start to show when they are 12 years old. I have some powers and Selena too. If I remember well 2 mechanics have superhuman strength. 2 doctors have healing touch and one of them also self-healing and 4 researchers have perfect memory but those are the only ones I know about."
"We should change that later and use an Ascension Machine to give everyone some powers. They can be useful you never know when we need them."
"That's true someone with a perfect sight can see ships from very far way or someone with healing touch can heal other people faster than the machines and those are useful abilities to have." agreed Darius "What are your powers?" and they all talked about their powers. When they came upon the 2 new powers, he was shocked "Cloak and Body Changing Ability? Wow those are nice."
"Yeah, they are nice but when Alexander uses it, he gets very tired because it is so taxing on the body. However, The Body Changing ability is nice since you can basically be the perfect spy! I get excited just talking about it." said Amelia
"Yeah well if he gets too tired, he should use them before he goes to sleep. Oh, and here we are Alexander." he finished with a smile while they entered the hangar room. Alexander ran in the room and looked at the Gateships with sparkles in his eyes.
"So, these are the Gateships? What can they do and for what are they used? Why are they called Gateships?" questioned Alexander while looking at one of the Gateships and walking to it to look inside it.
"These are called Gateships because they can use a Stargate, they are small enough to fit through it. They are usually used for exploration and can be used as fighters they can also be used as small drop ships or cargo ships there is enough space for that and 4 seats. There is the cockpit at the front where you have the pilot and co-pilot if you close the cockpit it will be closed by a bulkhead door. The engines come out of the sides but is not necessary to do. If you do, you fly faster and if the engines are on the Gateship will float. There are extendable weapon pods that can fire Drones but to do that you need to use your mind. The Gateship has no shield but it can cloak.
The Power Sources are self-chargeable crystals but if you don't use them for a long time, they won't be able to start and you'll have to charge them with an outside power source so they would be able to charge again. If you deplete them, you will need to do the same thing. To control it you use your mind. There is also a device to open the Stargate manually but that is also possible to do with your mind." A mechanic said while out of the Gateship to Alexander. Then he showed where everything was even activated it for a while to show the engines and weapons.
"Thank you, James, for the fine explanation you just made Alexander's day perfect." Darius said
"That was so cool! Did you see that it floated! FLOATED Mom!" he said "And that cloaking did it look like mine?" he asked his parents
"Haha yes we saw that son. It does look like your body's cloak I wonder if you would be able to be seen on the sensors." John wondered.
Meanwhile Alexander was looking at the 5 Gateships leaving the hangar. 2 of them were going to the Gathering Robots and the other 3 went to the ZPM Collector and see if they could bring everything back.
"Let's go back to the Control Room and listen to what the Gateships find." said John
"I'm curious as to what they are going to find at the wreckage and the robots…" said Darius
"Would you mind if I come with you? I want to know what happened with the machines." asked James
"No problem you are welcome there with us." Alexander butted in wanting to talk with James some more and continued talking with him about the different machines they built like the TDD and Stasis Pod's. Amelia and John just shook their heads while smiling and followed them with Darius.
When they arrived, they asked what the situation was and got the answer that they did not get contacted yet.
They did not have to wait long before the 2 Gateships that went to the Gathering Robots contacted them.
"New Hope this is Gateship 1 do you hear me?"
"Yes Gateship 1 we hear you loud and clear." Selena responded
"We are contacting to report about the 3 lost Gathering Robots. It seems that when they were gathering a Volcano Erupted. They tried to get back to the outpost but still got hit by the lava eventually it melted a part of their power source and engine and then got trapped not far from the outpost. I'll take them now and bring them back at the same time Gateship 2 shall go to the other Gateships and help them out there."
"Acknowledged you are clear to return."
"I hope there is not too much damage to them we certainly could use them to get extra resources." said James
"Hope are the other 2 Gathering robots active?" asked Alexander
"No, they are inactive." "Can you activated them and let them gather resources again?" "… It is done" "Thank you!"
"Well that should help us already. I had already forgotten about the other 2." James said just then the other group of Gateships contacted them.
"New Hope this is Gateship 3 do you hear me?"
"This is New Hope, we hear you loud and clear Gateship 3."
"We are at the ZPM Collector the 7 lost Maintenance machines are right here some got a little damage while the others have heavy damage there are also a couple of parts from the unknown ship here but not much. The ZPM Collector is in pieces we found 1 full ZPM the others got destroyed. It seems that it got destroyed by the enemy ship but as you know when they get too much damage it launches the ZPM's to try and keep them safe sends a signal to the outpost to gather them and then self-destructs. The enemy ship probably shot the ZPM's and Robots and thought they were bombs I suppose. The ship was too close to the Collector and blew up with it."
"Damn that's heavy damage but it's better than I thought. I prefer to have a full ZPM than none." said Darius "Tell them to try and bring everything back all pieces might get used again we never know." Selena told them to get all pieces and to bring the ZPM to them once they got back
"Well this is bad I'm going to try and repair all the robots who knows maybe I can use some parts from the Maintenance robots for the Gathering robots. I'm also going to see if we can't build a smaller version of the ZPM Collector but then inside the outpost, so we won't have to worry about them getting shot down." said James
"That's a good idea James. Go and talk with some of the researchers maybe they can give you an idea how to build it." Darius said
"I will. See you all later!" and James left.
Alexander was looking around again when his eyes got drawn by the giant metal ring with strange symbols again. "What is that huge metal ring there?"
"That Alexander is an Astria Porta. It's the most wonderful piece of technology that has ever been created by us. It can connect with and other Astria Porta to create a stabilized wormhole which instantly transports you towards that destination. They usually connect with others on other planets however we did place a couple of them in space when we were in Pegasus for out Gateships." Answered Darius with a simplified answer.
"Other planets? How many are there on other planets?"
"Usually only 1 since having multiple is unnecessary however it can happen that one has multiple Astria Portias in that situation one of them, the one with a control system, is designated as the primary one and the other is designated as the secondary one. In case something interrupts the connection towards the first one the secondary one shall take the connection then." Explained Darius.
Explaining he did, he told the family everything he knew about them along with other basic questions they had for him until they started getting hungry.
"I wonder if they finished growing the food already. I'm getting hungry." said John and they all left going to check if the food had been grown already. 2 hours had already passed so when they got on the 1st lower floor and faintly smelled food they nearly ran to the mess hall to eat. As they arrived, they saw that most people were already eating even James was eating already.
After they finished eating, Alexander asked the cooks to bring over some food for Selena and the others in the Control Room. He also asked James to come with them after they finished eating because he had to do something for him and Darius. Once they arrived, they gave the food to everyone in the Control Room.
"Darius and James while I am training, I won't be able to change the ZPM's for the different rooms. So, I'll give you both access to the Generator Room which will give you access to the ZPM's that are stored there. Hope please scan them and let them choose their code for the Generator Room."
"That would be a great help Alexander thank you for your confidence in us."
"No Problem I'm getting tired now though. It might have been 5 hours for you all but for us it has been nearly a full day that we've been awake already." said John
"Tomorrow we'll start the training with the others I will go now and talk to the people that will be training you in their arts." Said Darius.
"Oh, and before we go to sleep Darius, I have been thinking out the things we could start with in the outpost I had thought about it when we were eating do you want to know it?" asked Alexander while yawning
"No, you can tell me tomorrow Alexander go and get some sleep. Sleep well!" nodding Alexander and his parents went to find some empty quarters for them on the 1st Lower Floor just when they found one, they heard Darius yelling after them "Don't forget before you all go to sleep to train your abilities first."
"We will do that Darius" said John before he entered the room and closed the door. The Living Quarters had 2 beds a big one and a small one, a table with 4 chairs and a couple of lamps a bit everywhere,
"Now we will train our abilities first Darius is right we can't neglect that training." he went to the small bed and started to lift it up with a little difficulty. "Damn this is a bit heavy."
At the same time they all tried to talk to each other with their telepathy. They could not talk to each other at the same time but individually was not a big problem, so they did rounds talking to each other. Both Amelia and Alexander tried changing their eye and hair color consciously but didn't have much luck in that aspect. Once that was done Alexander went close to his bed with his parents because he was going to cloak again.
"Sleep well mom, dad" and gave both a kiss on the cheek and then cloaked. He held the cloak for as long as possible and for a full 5 seconds he held it and then passed out in the arms of his father and became visible again. John tucked him in his bed and kissed his forehead.
"Sleep well son." he said silently and walked to his bed.
"This was a tiring day." said John before he entered the bed with Amelia.
"Indeed, it was but it was necessary one." She said with a sigh.
"I had hoped it would have been able to evade this but it seems it was not to be." He said.
"Yes, we'll have to live with it now so go to sleep tomorrow we will have to train the children for 8 years so prepare yourself for it." and kissed him before they fell asleep.
