Chapter Eighteen

Training

Sci followed Rannn to a room with lots of padding on the ground, and metal equipment lined up on the walls. There was a platform with three levels of elastic rope around it. “This is a training room,” the captain said. There were six males in blue Federations suits inside. One was Pax, the other Ansel, but the last four were strangers to Sci.

“You said you can’t attack more than two minds. But I want to know if that’s because your mind is not trained, or if it’s because your mind physically can’t.”

Sci nodded at Rannn, realizing what he wanted him to do.

Ansel walked up to the four males Sci didn’t recognize and turned off their blockers. Their minds were terrified at first, but after time, they realized that nothing was happening to their consciousness and looked at Rannn for further instruction.

Rannn handed each of them hand stunners. “The four of you will be on opposite sides of the room. When I call it, all four of you will race toward Sci. He will have to find a way to stop you, using whatever methods he is capable of, or he will get a slight jolt.”

The males grinned when he said slight jolt.

Rannn moved to the wall closest to Pax and Ansel. The other four found their way to the corners of the room and waited for the captain’s command.

“Three…two…one. Go.”

The males ran full-speed at Sci. He was able to stop two and almost a third, but he couldn’t push the images quickly enough to stop the male before he reached Sci and tapped him with his hand stunner. He took the hit but didn’t let go of the other two minds, even when he kept getting stunned.

“Fight them off. Or are you unable to physically fight?”

He had no idea how to, and it showed when he tried to grab one male’s ankle. He didn’t pull hard enough and was shocked again.

Sci was on the floor being jolted over and over by all four males before Rannn called it quits. The Federation members backed up immediately, and Sci could hear and see the smugness in their minds. He didn’t like that.

Ansel moved to Sci, moved a medscope over his chest and whispered, “Your training is being recorded for the Federation council.” What Ansel didn’t say but thought was, you might want to downplay your abilities. They will see you as less of a threat. The medscope beeped. “He’s good,” Ansel called out to Rannn and then backed up all the way to the wall again.

Sci hated how the thought of playing down his abilities both disgusted and appealed to him. A high-functioning Cerebral was not thought of highly. He knew that. He was one step above functional, and those Cerebrals were shunned. Taken for granted, and used to do the mundane tasks on his planet. Sci did want to know if he could get better. His telekinesis was slowly coming back slowly, and that in itself was remarkable.

“Are you ready to go again, Cerebral?”

The four looked hopeful.
