‘It was one of those things that couldn’t be avoided, said Sionn.’
‘How come, we didn’t know they would try to confront us?’ I said.
‘Yes, you are right, we simply didn’t know that the Transveall system was that far out; they have extended their boundary by several trillion A.U.s. (astronomical units) we will have to keep them closely monitored from now on.’
‘What do we do about the worm-hole?’ Reeas said.
‘You will have to dream travel to the Demarel-Galaxy, that is where the worm-hole is now exiting; the other end of the worm-hole is still in the Milky-Way galaxy, we believe someone has deliberately shifted it, for some, as yet, unknown reason. Whoever it is, must be capable of great power.’
‘It could be Kallo’s apprentice.’ I said.
‘Very probably, we tried to get some information from Kallo himself, but as you know, he is now neutralized, which is a good thing for us, but also, a nuisance when we need to get information from him. We know the worm-hole exit at the Demarel galaxy is more stable than the exit at the Milky-Way Galaxy, so, that is a better place to try to stabilize it. You can use the ships resources which are more than up to the job. The only problem could be, whoever moved worm-hole, could still be nearby, so to speak.’
‘You mean, Kallo’s helpers.’
‘Yes, or anyone else, who think they can beat the system.’
‘Why would anyone want to move a worm-hole?’ I said.
‘Because they are access points to different worlds, they could hold up our work by a long time.’
‘Yes, but is it worth all the trouble, I mean, they won’t know where the worm-hole will exit, will they?’ I replied.
‘Maybe not, but we can’t be sure, if they do have control of the worm-hole then that is more than we have, all we can do, is stabilize it, once we get there. The information that we have, is that, it is now traveling at many times faster than light; you will have to be very precise in your calculations, when it reaches your destination which will be D 870876. Another of our ships will be waiting at the planet Thirand, when you arrive by dream travel.
Of course, it will still be Debra. Our records show she is now increasing in knowledge many times faster than thought, she will have all the data needed to intercept and control the worm-hole when you get there. Are there any questions?’ Sionn seemed ill at ease for, some, unknown reason, and that is not usual, my student friends. Can this job be more than he is telling me?
‘Do you mean, Debra, could again be a threat to us?' I said.
‘We don’t know, as yet, but be aware.’
I go to the ship; I ask Debra what her thoughts are on this job. She said,
‘I have all the information I need to stabilize the worm-hole, Dan.’
‘I know,’ I said, ‘but what do you think about the whole situation?’
I can’t really tell you, until we get there, Dan.’
Maybe it is me, I think, maybe I need a meditation break.
Back at the base, Reeas said, ‘See you at Thirand.’
‘I said, ‘What about seeing me in dreams?’
‘Yes, I mean, dreams; I just meant I will see you in the physical, at Thirand.’
‘OK, I said.’
Maybe it is me, again, I think, but something doesn’t seem right.
Or maybe, I need a vacation? In the dream state, I find myself in a large open space which is now filling up with door after door; they form a large circle around me. I can estimate that there are 360. What does it mean? I think. I can easily have just returned to the base, but I already know this is a test I have to take. I know I have to pick the right door to go through, but which? Mannus himself had given me full Guardianship. Mannus, as you know, is lord of this part of the Multiverse, so, I know, I can get through this. I sat in the lotus position as usual, and meditated. I found myself not on the usual mountain side with Mannus himself sitting there, but in a dirty street in medieval London! I know this was one of my past lives, but I didn’t know which, or who, I was supposed to be. I was invisible to the people there, but, I now can see that the person who is walking by is me in that lifetime! I followed my past life character to a market place, where he stole some food and other items. I am shocked by this, as I thought by this time, my character would be above such things, obviously not, then he made his way to a house in a back alleyway where he met an old man who was sitting on the doorstep. He said, ‘Get out of my way, old man.’
The old man said, ‘Don’t you think you should give the things back that you stole? John.’
I now know this old man, is a Master, but John, the character from my past, didn’t.
‘I don’t want to hurt you, whoever you are, old man, so just go away.’
The old man got up and left. I feel ashamed and depressed that I would abuse people in my past lives, but I did!
