Sam 2

Samuel had been following the energy trail for over an hour now. He had already passed through several solar systems getting further and further from earth. Shit he thought, I just hope I can find my way back!

Pulling up short he saw that he’d arrived at a huge space like station. It appeared to bear the insignia of the Intergalactic Patrol that he’d seen both of those women wearing. Shaking his head he looked at all the ships that were there. Nodding he saw the one that the two women had been on. Good he thought at least one friendly face!

Going closer he suddenly ‘heard’ a voice in his head. [This is a restricted area, unless you have an appointment with Intergalactic Patrol personnel it is suggested that you depart this area. You are being bio-scanned now. Know that deadly force will be used if you persist in your actions!]

Concentrating Samuel thought back, [I suggest you speak to Drivas Flot before you do something you will regret. I doubt you have anything that can stop me, though you might piss me off!]

There was a moment of silence then many confused thoughts came back to him. Grabbing his head he concentrated as hard as he could. Finally the voices started to thin ’til he heard Drivas and another male.

[Is this the one you saw?] Samuel heard the man say.

[Yes sir, he is even purer than the criminal Mellos Thymp. We were unsure of him so we came back to report. As of yet we are unsure of what abilities he has.] Drivas said.

[You know, it is rude to talk about someone when they can hear you.] Samuel broke into their conversation with his thoughts.

Samuel could feel the shock that both were feeling. [I apologize. It has been a long time since a humanoid with your abilities has been seen. Though as you can see all are trained to handle almost anything. Please come aboard so we can discuss this in a more relaxed setting.] Returned the man’s thoughts. Samuel was nodding though he was feeling a lot of deception from the man.

Samuel drew closer to the station then suddenly vanished appearing in the same room as the man and Drivas. Sitting when the man offered Samuel felt as if there were a thousand eyes on him.

“I’m sure that Drivas has already made a full report to you. I also know that you are broadcasting this meeting to talk that you can. I’ll tell you as I told Drivas and Thellus. Don’t come after me, you really got nothing to fear. Piss me off? Well I don’t think you want to see what I can really do.” Samuel calmly told them.

“Sir we don’t…” The man started then was quiet when Samuel held up his hand.

“Please, don’t insult my intelligence. I am former military, I recognize a military installation. An independent civilian operation? I think not. So, would you like to talk to me straight forward? Or would you prefer for me to just leave?” Here Samuel spread his hands in a gesture of unconcern. Samuel’s eyes narrowed as he suddenly heard more thoughts. “Unless you want people to be hurt I suggest you tell them to stand down, NOW!”

The other man nodded as he spoke into a communicator. Turning back to Samuel he asked, “If you aren’t here to conquer then why?”

“I want to find Mellos also. She has a hell of a lot more information on me than I can get from asking.” Turning to Drivas he stated. “When I asked for the information on your ship, I gleaned quite a bit; problem is hardly any of it makes sense. It’s in another language one that your beam has had no success in deciphering. I know that the patrol is after her also, that’s fine. She tried I believe, to kill me, unsuccessfully as you can see. I’ll go now I just thought I’d tell you what I was going to do.” Samuel stood to go then turned back to the two there. “Remember Drivas,” Samuel tapped his head. “I still had them when I was back on earth.” Drivas’ eyes went large as she slowly nodded to a smiling Samuel. With that he vanished, appearing outside the station then speeding away.

Drivas sat with a thud, as did the sub-commander of the Intergalactic Patrol. “You believe him?” He asked of her.

Swallowing hard she looked at the male. “A lot of what he said I do. As of yet he has made no aggressive moves against the Patrol. Even when Thellus discharged her weapon at point blank range.”

The Sub-commander was nodding this was good if they could use him in their quest then this would be worth it. Touching a panel he asked, “Did you get enough of a scan to confirm?”

“Almost a complete scan sir. We are comparing the data to that of the first scans. So far they are showing no deviation from the pattern of those that were recorded over five centuries ago.
