  “Ok Pat, are you ready for this.”

  “Yes but it is a bit scary and exciting at the same time. Aston feels we should power up to 50%. That is a lot of power.”

  “I just hope we do not need it. After we power up, Aston will give us coordinates to the command ship. Love you Pat.”

  They powered up to 50%, reinforced their shields and teleported to the super ship. They arrived undetected and wandered about with no alarms or other indications that the crew was aware of their presence. In one space, they found thousands of rounded containers that Pat surmised had to be individual stasis units. After doing rough section counts, they figured that there must be units for about a million persons. Aston confirmed the count.

  Andy and Pat then went to the bridge where two of the Grell appeared to be arguing. They both had some kind of key on a lanyard about their neck. Andy decided to try something he had not previously attempted. He wanted to understand what was being said so he tuned into the mind of the individual that appeared to be in charge. He showed Pat how he had done it and she too was able to replicate the feat. Aston was listening in and passed the technique on to the rest. The problem was that the person in charge was arguing to start the long delayed invasion at that instant. The other person was strenuously opposed to the command. The argument continued with one individual refusing to put his key into the console with his commander. He also stated a number of reasons to continue the status quo. The commander then ordered the other person to give his key to a third officer observing the argument. The officer refused. The commander drew a pistol, shot and killed the other officer. He then handed the dead officers key to the third officer and proceeded toward the console that would relay the command to start the invasion. Before either officer could place a key in the console and without further hesitation, Andy essentially shouted mentally Andy created two energy balls and telekinetically hovered them in front of the two officers. The two officers were stunned and froze in place. Pat in the meantime melted the console containing the signaling device.

 

  The creature was visibly shaking and responded.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Ten minutes later the designated battleship melted into an amorphous blob. Nothing remained of it that was salvageable. An hour later a second ship was destroyed. All aboard that ship were permitted to escape before destruction. That had the desired affect on the Grell. They were in many cases running to their stasis pods. In a period of four hours, the Grell were all underway and leaving the system. The moon was deserted.

  A short while later, a six-man Grell scout ship attempted to reenter the system. Aston noted the presence of six Grell life forms attempting to hide in the wake of a comet and Andy teleported to the vessel. He assumed a semi-visible form and appeared in the vessel. He started melting non-essential items in the cabin of the vessel. They left considerably faster than they had arrived.

  Andy invited Collum and his compadres to the ship for a visit. Collum was astounded by what he had seen and heard. The entire exercise had been broadcast to all Solarans. Aston had made a visual recording of the operation and wanted to release portions of it to the media on Earth.

 

  just scare them off without killing them off. As it happened, it worked. The fact that we were there just when they decided to do what they came to do more than 70 years ago must have startled them beyond their capacity to think straight. It did not occur to them that they might have a numerical advantage. It also did not occur to them that had they been a bit more bold, they could have done us substantial harm. So I bluffed them and scared the starch out of them in the process. They will probably have nightmares for a long time to come. Melting that battleship was not what they might have expected. I think that had it just exploded, we might have had to contend with something more. Destroying those ships the way we did was a psychological element used to play on their fears. We already suspected that the nuclear testing in the 40's and 50's gave them pause. What we did was a quantum leap beyond what they might have expected. We caught them totally off guard. Actually it was kind of fun once we got into the role. I thought their commander was going to faint when Pat melted that console. We had Janie hover outside that second battleship and poke ten foot holes all over the thing until it looked like a sieve. There was no mistaking who was doing the damage. That ability must have really startled the Grell and we made sure that it would be fully visible. Aston is keeping an eye on them. We want to be sure they are really gone.>

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Andy, Pat, Collum and Menna teleported to the bridge of the alien ship in invisible mode.

 

 

  Nevertheless, the captain alerted his crew and the four Solarans appeared.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  The four then found themselves back on their own ship.

  detects an abuse of the built in ethical conditions on which the implant is based. Previous primary implant recipients also benefit from the change and assimilation occurs within 6 hours. That is far in advance of where the Lotans were taking this technology. We also will now have an unlimited supply of implants available since the implant structure has been incorporated in my structure and protected, shielded in a way that it cannot be compromised by an intruder or otherwise revealed. This is all amazing.

  When Raphael spoke with me he mentioned another associate by the name of Raguel. I was told that Raguel would be contacting us with information on the Sorza. Out of curiosity, I ran the three Slegna names Barachiel, Raphael and Raguel against our database because the names all sounded Judaic. I had an immediate hit. The three names are all the names of archangels. What is more interesting is the listed attributes or patronages of the three. Barachiel is the chief of Guardian Angels, Raphael is noted for healing and Raguel is noted for justice, fairness, harmony and vengeance against sinners. I am not saying that I believe we are dealing with archangels but I am saying that there is a relationship between those names and what we have experienced with the Slegna. It is just a bit eerie.>
