“WHAT DID HE SAY?” THE Minister asked.

DeAnders checked his clipboard, flipping down the screen and putting his finger on the line. “Oh, here. ‘His name is Josef Stein.’ And that’s all he said before we lost him.”

“What do you mean, lost him?” the admiral asked, looking down at the motionless body of Jahx Kyron, formerly belonging to the Grand Oblin.

“He’s showing minimal brain activity; nonresponsive to any of our therapies. If I can’t have Triel on this case, then I’m afraid I’m out of options.”

The Minister threw an indignant look at the admiral before speaking. “Keep him stabilized, Doctor. I’ll consult with you after we secure the situation on Erion.”

The admiral followed the Minister out of the Defense/Research lab and back to the quarantined area in the medical ward.

“Josef Stein—oh my Gods,” the admiral said under his breath.

The Military Minister burst through the double doors to the critical care unit. “I want everyone out except you!”

Dr. Kaoto stayed by Jaeia’s bedside while the rest of the team scattered behind the partition.

“Is the Healer secured?” Tidas asked.

“Yes, Sir,” Kaoto said. “We put her in cryostasis.”

“Cryostasis? I only ordered sedation,” the admiral said.

“Yes, Sir,” Kaoto said, looking to the Minister. “But Prodgy telepaths have the ability to maintain some degree of telepathic awareness even in sleep. Cryostasis is the only way to eliminate all telepathic functions.”

“You overrode my order?” Damon asked, turning to Razar.

The Military Minister got in his face, enough so that Unipoesa could smell the antacids on his breath. “If you can’t secure the situation with the Kyrons, I’m keeping the Healer on ice—indefinitely.”

“But Jahx—” Damon started.

“That’s my final decision,” the Minister said, straightening his uniform top. “We’ve lost almost all of Erion, and we’re about to lose its third moon, Tellemikas. I need the twins back on this situation, now, before that ship hits the perimeter.”

The Minister said something quietly to Kaoto before turning back to the admiral. “I’m sending Wren to the front lines to try launching nukes again. But if you can’t secure the twins and Wren is lost, then you’re next in line for the big chair.”

“Yes, Sir,” the admiral said, barely rising above the voice screaming inside of him. I can’t command again—it was all a fluke—

(I am a fluke.)

Quieting old demons with the promise of alcohol, the admiral watched the Military Minister exit the medical wing in a hurry to get back to Central Command.

Damon looked at the interface on his uniform sleeve. Blue holographics projected the latest estimated death toll on Erion at 4.5 billion.

I have to secure the twins.

(I can’t take command again.)

After smoothing down his thinning hair, he addressed Kaoto. “Alright, I want both sisters awake—but keep a line in them just in case. No restraints, though.”

Dr. Kaoto nodded. “I understand, Admiral,” he said, signaling one of the nurses to wheel Jetta’s stretcher next to Jaeia’s “However, there’s something else I need to tell you about them—there are some very strange findings.”

“I don’t have the time, doctor,” the admiral said, rolling up his sleeves.
