has been grossly perverted for the use of the few holding
power in the Central Government. The people of colony system four have
requested we take this course of action. We, like others of our race believe in
the merits of utility. But we also believe the rule method, a method using
codified laws, is a more appropriate avenue to reaching that ultimate goal.
Because we can’t locate you using standard methods we’ve chosen to broadcast
these messages in all nearby solar systems. Again, we do not seek hostilities
against your forces.
    “This
explains why their ships were leaving,” Brian said.
    “Where
do you think they’re going?” Grigon asked.
    “Probably
their home system,” Myden said.
    “Possibly,”
Brian said. “But I think they’ll head straight for our bases and join us.”
    “It
makes our job easier when the time comes,” Jesela said. She finished what she
was working on. “Well, I’ll see rest of you later. Seles and Mira need me for
some simulations.”
    “If
anything comes up we’ll call for you,” Brian said.
    “I’ll
be ready,” she said before leaving.

    Jesela
entered the launching bay where the Artemis and Siren were stored. Seles and
Mira were waiting at the foot of their mobile suits with their newly modified exoskeletons
on.
    “How
do they feel?” Jesela asked.
    Mira
flexed the hand on her exoskeleton. “It’s much better than before.”
    Seles
did a cartwheel and a back flip. “I don’t know what you did but they’re much
better now.”
    “Daes
and I wondered what was wrong because everyone said something,” Jesela said.
“It turns out adding a little flexibility to the joints was all that was
needed.”
    “Seems
like an easy mistake to make,” Seles said.
    “I
wouldn’t think you’d make that mistake, let alone Daes,” Mira added.
    Jesela
shrugged. “We’ve had so much to do lately it slipped our mind. But now we know
better than to let something like this slide.”
    “We’re
happy to hear it,” Seles said. “So what do the reports say?”
    Jesela
grabbed a tablet from a nearby console and put the data on the screen. “Both of
you are only using thirty six percent of the theoretical power output when
activating your special systems.”
    “What
does that mean?” Mira asked.
    “Yeah,
you’ll have to translate,” Seles said.
    “Very
well,” Jesela said with feigned annoyance. “What it means is you’re not close
to the readings Brian put out when he berserked. As a result your black boxes
remain quite dark.”
    “It
feels like I’m powering up quite a bit when I berserk,” Mira said.
    “It’s
the same for me,” Seles said. “Is there a reason why we’re lower on the scale?”
    Jesela
nodded. “I suspect one of the reasons is because Terrans can berserk easier than
we can.”
    “So
they’re better at berserking than the rest of us?” Seles asked.
    “I
can’t say for sure,” Jesela admitted. “Until more humans are around we can’t
test the theory. The downside is it means many humans will die trying to
berserk because of nanopsychosis. That’s if they can’t control it of course.”
She looked at the other two. “I’ve heard it takes a Mylor hundred years or more
to master their telekinetic powers. Myden says it takes one of his kind at
least a decade to learn to control their power. Brian was changing when he left
us for Earth. What I’m curious to know is what he was changing into.”
    “We
may never know,” Mira said. “Nothing comes up on the med scanners as unusual.”
    “He
told me he saw the Teacher and learned about the future,” Seles said. “What he
also said is he wouldn’t have survived the awakening if he let it continue any
further.” She glanced at the Artemis. “I hope it’s different for us.”
    “From
the energy levels I believe it will be,” Jesela said. “When Brian and Grigon
suggested this I was hesitant to believe. But now I do.”
    Mira
shook her head. “Enough, let’s get in there
