Octaviak walked into the chamber not knowing what to expect. Over the past year since she’d breezed her way through indoctrination she’d been spending her time training in an advanced maturia and living with the rest of the Protovic on the planet. She’d been the first to make it through, and even now there were only three ‘Pink skins,’ as they were nicknamed, within the free population. They’d been welcomed in with the rest of the Protovic, despite the fact that they had telepathy and the others didn’t.

She tried not to cause any disruptions by using her abilities save for select circumstances, but the more she talked and became one with the other Protovic she realized they were all used to the idea of having a telepath in their minds because their Archon leaders routinely interacted with them that way…and they were far more powerful than Octaviak would ever be. She wasn’t an Archon, so there was a little bit of animosity there, but the mere idea of having someone poking around inside your head wasn’t seen as offensive, because these Protovic had already adjusted to the idea of not having secrets.

That made for a very open community, and as the days passed she allowed herself the luxury of sampling others’ thoughts. They had no blocks to prevent it, save for the Humans which were a total stone to her abilities, and for the first time in her life she didn’t feel that being telepathic came with a curse. It was a great asset and allowed her freedom that she was only now able to explore.

Octaviak didn’t mess with anyone and just kept her forays in the observation category, but by doing so she learned so much more about the Protovic and Star Force than she had during her indoctrination. Not data wise, but the feel of it and what it meant to be a part of the empire. She’d come to think of this as home and had gotten used to her daily training routines when she’d gotten a summons to a special training program. It wasn’t a command, but rather a request and an opportunity she wasn’t going to pass up because it came directly from an Archon, but as she walked through the doorway into the huge chamber in a part of another city that she’d never even set foot in before, Octaviak had no clue what to expect.

“Welcome,” a purple skinned Protovic said in English, which she could now speak well enough without translator equipment. She wasn’t wearing armor anyways, and rarely did now. That was another thing about this planet that was vastly different from her former home, because she could see everyone and their multi-colored glows.

“Hello,” she answered back, looking across a courtyard that had trees blocking her view of what lay beyond.

“You’re Octaviak, I presume?”

“I am.”

“My name is Prentha. Please follow me,” he said, turning to walk away and waiting for her to match his stride.

“No one has told me what I’m doing here yet.
