After that, the discourse fizzled. As amazing as it was to have an alien in their midst, Lincoln’s outburst and subsequent breakdown rained on everyone’s parade.

Lieutenant Takayasu conceded to sitting on his knowledge of Callin’s presence until the following morning, to allow Callin to reconnect with his people. After that, Callin agreed to formally announce their presence and intentions.

Perhaps even more importantly, they all agreed to keep the Taalu’s knowledge of the White Flash private amongst their group. What if other people, particularly other paranormals, reacted as Lincoln did? This topic would have to be addressed sooner or later, but for now, they were hoping to make it later. Even Lincoln agreed to this, if only with a quiet nod of his head as he sipped the camomile tea Ardette gave him.

When Callin announced that he would be leaving for the night, Steve escorted him outside. “I’m sorry about the, uh ... the thing with Powerhouse,” Steve offered as they walked together.

“You have no need to apologize,” Shining Star said. “And neither does your friend. As I said, I knew the topic could be volatile, which is why I tried to avoid it.” He turned to fully face Steve. “We, honestly, do not know what exactly my grandfather Calacus’ involvement with the conversion wave might have been. Larr and Jere told me that his behavior after their escape from Taal was erratic, addled. You see, my grandparents lost a son a few years before that, and my grandmother was eleven months pregnant with my father and aunt when the invasion struck. Carrying twins was already a strain on her health, and the chaos of their escape took its toll. When my grandmother went into labor, there were complications that our limited medical staff were unable to handle, and she died. At first, my grandfather refused to accept it at all, verbally attacking the doctor who delivered the babies. Then he withdrew from everyone, which was not what my people needed during that time. Finally, he left Taal-ceky altogether, after recording final instructions that were distraught, and often nonsensical.” He grimaced. “I saw the recording a few years ago. It was ... disturbing.” Then his expression shifted more to distaste. “I understand he never visited his children, never laid eyes on my father or aunt, before he left.”

After a moment of silence, Steve asked, “What did the recording say?”

Sighing, Callin answered, “That’s difficult to answer. Some of it was logistical, like how he wanted the government run until my father came of age — that caused a lot of problems in itself. But he also referred to the Cargaun as ‘evil,’ which is not a term my people use as loosely as yours. He talked about the living stars, and his dreams, and restoring the rightful way of things. He also talked to my grandmother as if she were still alive, telling her that he would set things right.” He looked up into the night sky, toward the Seven Stars, and Steve looked with him.
