them along with them tracking her. He quits yelling to hear Seer speak that his words aren’t true about the female Rakcar for she won’t be able to remember the spot and adds that she was reeking of King Winter who has been trying to find the Zeskaya’s meeting room and establish contact with them hence he sending the female Rakcar thru the gate with a mental chain attached to her in his attempts to find the room and them. Leader grumbles loudly but Seer using compelling voice tone puts him to sleep which he falls asleep passing out. Leader wakes up by Kossman who tells him that a Zeskaya transported the Sun Lord out of his quarters off Terrania according to Merra and doesn’t know where. Leader is grumbling about that which Seer speaks in a loud voice a comment about Zeskaya still being angry at Dictator for what he did to them when he ruled which Seer trails off. Leader is about to speak when the gated doors open and he fades out of sight as Zeskaya does the same. A Zeskaya walks in which Zeskaya appear. The new Zeskaya says he saw Dictator alive wearing some breathing tube in his nose eating food in a Rakcar eating room with Anubis, a Rakcar who he’s not sure of the name and Seventy. Leader gets up from chair to speak in an angry tone that Dictator the new Zeskaya saw was not Dictator but his brother’s son, his nephew Eric the Sun Lord from Terrania who looks alike Dictator. Leader gets mad angrily scolds the Zeskaya that they should get over being mad at Dictator and stop taking it out on his nephew who looks like him. He hears Seer speak in a compelling voice tone ordering him to go to sleep which Leader finds himself feeling sleepy goes to the chair next to Seer and falls asleep passing out.
Leader dreams of lighthouse and meets the Humanian called Jon who tells him of the Rakcar making a cloned copy of Eric which they accidentally sent the copy through the gate and kept the original trapped in a tomb which they discovered themselves. Leader is annoyed hearing that as the Humanian adds that he found out by checking their files on Eric from their scanner tests and managed to disable the ship that picked up Eric and killed off the Rakcar inside the ship and freed the batteries people of other races including Eric who they hooked up. Leader grumbles hearing this as the Humanian adds that he’s doing a through check on the Rakcars’ files on Eric just to make sure they didn’t actually kill the Sun Lord and made more than one cloned copy of him. Scene to Leader goes black which he wakes up feeling his strength back and hears the Seer telling him to do what he has to do and do it now before its too late. Leader shrugs then goes through the gate boarding the Rakcar’s warship which he discovers people with Human appearances and some flaring golden eyes while chattering in Summeran in one room which he sees are poking a sitting Eric whose eyes are all night sky colored. He yells an excuse me comment in Summeran to get the Humans he assumes are Builders’ attention who look at him and says that he’s here to get Eric and take him back to his home world by traveling through doorways an ability his kind called the Zeskaya has. Builders there seem to understand his words which they lift up Eric and he gets behind him and pushes him through the doorway transporting them to Terrania then goes back to Rakcar’s ship to see the Builders are still in the room in an argument about leaving the ship or staying and waiting for others to arrive for them. Leader gets annoyed orders the Builders to leave the ship by exiting it to outside and then he turns to go only to be ordered by Builder using compelling voice to tag along with them as they leave the ship which he is compelled to tag along as they leave the ship going outside walking into the forest till the ship is out of sight. Leader once freed from the Builder’s order blows his temper with an annoyed tone yelling at the Builder that he’s a leader of his people who expect his leadership and his orders which a female Builder using the voice compels him to shut up and be quiet which he finds that himself silent while still raging angry which another Builder using the voice orders him to walk with them through the forest which he is compelled to obey.
Kossman enters Zeskaya meeting room asking for Leader and is told that Leader went through the gate and hasn’t returned which their getting a little put out by that. Seer there speaks to Zeskaya not to worry about Leader for his tank was low which sleeping wasn’t enough and has gone to get more fuel for it. Zeskayas around Seer grumble hearing his words which Seer adds that how Zeskaya do expects Leader to lead them if he is not well in mind and body something Leader is in process of fixing hence him not returning yet. Kossman feels a weird feeling asks Seer right out what Leader is really doing for his words make him feel not right. Seer speaks comment about Leader doing something as prophesied which will give the Zeskayas unexpected allies in their war against the Rakcar which he has foreseen including something he has seen he’s not sure he can identify it yet. Kossman feels a little annoyed asks the Seer to describe the scene he can’t identify which he think he can help with. Seer speaks that the scene is jumbled mess focusing on eaters in different backgrounds such as eaters sprouting from parts of Rakcars’ warships the Planet Killer warships and several outdoor forest scenes with treetops having eaters on them. He adds that the jumbled scenes leads him to think that the Rakcars’ home world planet will be attacked with their ships fired on hence the eaters appearing to come from the ships which he sees are floating over several outdoor scenes with eaters down below them such as land with treetops and open bodies of water. Seer pauses then says he sees with a confused voice that he sees the Sun Lord with open eyes all night sky colored angry look on his face with all sorts of wires attached to him while wearing his Sun Lord uniform with back on a glowing light wall that is blinking from being in a standing position and he seems to have clear glass around him like a tube and he senses the vibes from the Sun Lord is he is angry about something. Eric’s twin dubbed Dick sitting in the room asleep jerks his head open yelling a nonsense sound which Kossman puts a hand on his shoulder to reassure him. Kossman asks Dick what gave him the nightmare who speaks that he had a talk with Jon a Humanian a battery from the Guardian tower who told him that the Rakcar made more than one copy of Eric about the same number of fingers on his hand and he’s not sure but the files are claiming that the Rakcar hooked up the original with no success on killing him with their methods as a live battery to one of their machines on the planet which Jon is trying to find out where and contact him. Dick pauses as Kossman swears profanities which he adds that a copy identical to Eric biologically was sent thru to Terrania by Leader and mentions that Jon told him that the Rakcar made double males biologically identical to Eric and double female versions of Eric including one copy that is both male and female which is himself. Kossman stops his chatter which Dick continues speaking that Jon also told him that he’s worried that the Rakcar might have accidentally hooked up the Sun Lord improperly because he’s sensing something wrong within the systems and thinks the Sun Lord might have control of them like he has himself. Seer speaks interrupting Dick that the eater scenes he is seeing and seeing the Sun Lord hooked up shows that the Sun Lord probably has control of the planet’s defense weapons and will turn them to fire onto the planet hence the scenes of the Rakcar’s ships with eaters spurting from them. Dick gasps out loud to speak that he has a memory of the Rakcar visiting Terrania and hooking up the Sun Lord as a battery to their warship which Eric managed to break the Rakcar’s control of and used the warship’s internal defense systems to kill off the Rakcar inside the warship including freeing himself and others from the battery hook ups including destroying the Rakcar mind that was hooked up with them. Kossman speaks a comment saying that there goes the planet while shaking his head as Dick groans out loud another comment saying that the breathing device he’s wearing helps to control his angry rages which blinds him and makes him see people with the fear emotion as distorted in one color against another colored background that is blinding him. Seer speaks in a loud voice that the Rakcar has failed to account the Sun Lord’s rage episodes as reason he is wearing the breathing device which he sees Eric isn’t wearing from the scene he is seeing of him. Dick speaks that the rage episodes Eric will be getting from being hooked up is how he got control of the Rakcar’s warship and sus
pects that it’ll help Eric get control of the Rakcar’s planetary weapons system. Kossman hears Seer using a compelling voice tone order Dick to sleep which he sees falls asleep and he hears Seer speak that he’s sensing something urgent from Jon who wants to speak to Dick hence putting him to sleep.
Leader feels annoyed finds his thoughts running through his head as he escorts the Builders through the forest. He hears that they are silent and not talking which is bothering him and finds that he still can’t talk out of loud to them which is frustrating him. He and Builders come upon a limping antlered gonoid (Deer buck) that gets its antlers caught in low tree branches and is struggling to get away from the group. Leader hangs back watching as the Builders pull out knives and sees them attack the gonoid which they kill and watches them eat part of it which he finds himself feeling like needing to eat joins them putting away his mask and they share the food with him which he
