Three days, it was only three days before hell erupted in Castle Gods-Cut. Loka and I were carrying out equipment maintenance by the choppers when the call came from El. “All officers to the mess hall—now damn it!”

We beat feet to it along with the rest. It was full. “I won’t pull bullshit on you. Lucy was going to tell you but I think it is my job. We now know exactly how they can zoom in on food. People, listen, we have an impossible task ahead. We must, absolutely must, evacuate our entire planet, and do it now, today. I haven’t even told Lord P yet. How do we get seven-hundred eighty-three million people off a planet in the shortest time?”

It floored me, I assure you. The buzz started and wasn’t immediately quieted by El as it sank in.

“What happened?” Col Garth asked.

“Fucking MKs happened, what do you think happened?” She was almost yelling.

“El, calm down please? We all know that, but why do we have to evacuate our planet?” I asked.

She apologized and told Lucy to fill us in.

“I ran tests, I know how they communicate with each other. I found how they zero in on food so fast too. They are freaking telepathic, not only that, strong ones. Two or three can project a combined thought wave to…anywhere!”

“You saying they are telling others where we are at?” someone in the back asked.

“Already told. The second we took them to Lord P they were blasting away. Probably are trying from in here too, but they can’t. I checked that, and with certainty they can’t. The warpfield generator cuts them off totally. They don’t know about Honor Gate Central, but they do know about Olgreender, I am afraid.”

“How long we got then?” It was Col Garth again, asking the right questions.

“How fast is thought? However long it takes or took to get to the closest place they are and for them to find a way to transport to here is exactly how long we have. And that clock started ticking almost a month ago,” El said.

“Damn,” Loka said.

“Fits,” I whispered to her.

“Plan in effect now—break up, check all the remaining doors, find a planet we can live on and be as far away from them as we can get. Lucy needs night star charts for the remaining ones. I want all the rest checked in not less than 24 hours. We meet again then. Time has started people. MOVE!” El left no doubt what was the priority.

Soon the place was empty but for us, and Tally, and El, with Lucy.

“Too cocky, we were too damn cocky. We should have waited until we knew more about them before we sent them to Lord P. It was my decision and I may have doomed our people to a horrible death.” El was almost ready to cry. I saw her emotions were raw and on edge since Tici was lost—this was almost the breaking point. I felt I had to say something.

“No El, you did exactly what we would have done.
