did before you were injured. You would like to be made whole.
    These were stated as observations, as facts. And neither Maynard nor Heath disagreed; they were both subconsciously nodding their heads as the presence spoke directly into their heads, in their own language.
    But the process takes a little while and all we need is your permission to start .
    Maynard uttered the word, “Yes,” immediately and faded off to sleep. Heath could feel himself giving in and wanting to lose control. Not to anger, but to this seemingly all-powerful force that promised power and health in exchange for compliance. Either way, it was against his code. He would not lose control again, and he would not allow himself to be manipulated, no matter how attractive the offer. Heath knew there was always a price to pay, and that for something like this the price would be steep.
    “No.”
    You don’t know what you’re giving up. Your friends can make their dreams come true. They will become gods among men.
    “Probably, but the quick path to dreams has only gotten me in trouble. I prefer to do it myself.”
    As you wish. You may go.
    Heath did not argue. As soon as the door opened, he walked out, much to Newton’s surprise. He asked the presence, “Do you want one of us to catch him?”
    That won’t be necessary. No one will find us or believe him, and soon there will be enough of us: you and us, combined to make strong, perfect human beings. Once the people of the town see you and realize they can have your power too, they will be on our side .

    Heath ran for three miles, walked for another three and was met up the road by a man in a navy blue sedan.
    “Hop in, Heath. I’d like to give you a ride home and ask you some questions about what you saw back there.”
    Heath stared incredulously at Nick Wolfe as he slipped into the car.
    “Who are you?”
    “Nick Wolfe. I work for BioMek Horizons. Right now, I’m just looking for answers about the ship back there.”
    “You knew it was back there, so you already know more than most.”
    “Yes, but you’ve been inside. What did you see?”
    “We were led into a really large room and sat down.”
    “Led? By whom? What did they look like?”
    “We didn’t see them, but they spoke to us … in our heads. It was weird. I thought the words were my own thoughts for a minute until I saw Maynard listening to it as well. They were talking to all of us. I could hear them, but they didn’t make any noise.”
    “Why do you say they if it was only one voice?”
    “Well, Newton, called them they, and it made sense when I heard the voice. They didn’t speak all at once, but they each took different words, switching between them. It sounded like different voices I’d heard saying the words, sometimes it was my own voice. After a minute they blended together into a seamless voice. It was soothing. I wanted to sleep in there. Then they promised us things.”
    “Like what?”
    “Like full recovery from our past injuries, the ability to play football like we did in high school. Power, strength, you name it. Newton is in the best shape of his life and he got back together with his ex-girlfriend, who had outgrown him years ago and is way out of his league. A week ago he was just another dope-smoking man-child who thought he was a lot smarter than he actually was. Now he has … presence. He acts like a man.”
    “Did they say what they wanted from you in exchange?”
    “Only that they needed us in order to leave the ship and help others, and later to help them rule the world. Not outwardly, but more like behind-the-scenes.”
    “Like a permanent ruling class?”
    “Sort of, but higher, more like contacts who pull the strings of the ruling class. I can’t think of a better way to put it, but as superiors to normal men in every way, we would be looked to as gods, even by the most powerful of men.
    “I suspect they wanted us to go out and recruit others like Newton was doing. It
