Dokka Tkarro said,"Seems that a shadow possessed someone and just murdered three people before Jeet killed the man who was taken over. That means whatever this thing is...It ISN'T like Chalchilaloq! I thought you had to come into CONTACT to have a hyper-frame intelligence jump into your body. Also...how is it taking over people who DON'T have a lot of 'hypermatter' in their body ?" He looked at Measure. She shifted her rifle onto to her shoulder and looked confused. She said, "As far as I KNEW I thought all the galactic species were ALL reading from the same page! Hyper-frames interface with living bodies through trace amounts of hypermatter in the cerebral cortex. THAT is why when Toxic was in Sunshine, other than a skin color change, there was NO effect...and WHY Chalchilaloq took over Neon, and then Toxic! They have to come into PHYSICAL contact! They can't wander around like...GHOSTS haunting locations or such!" Dokka looked thoughtful. He asked, "How about this? I know hyper-frames can have intelligence. Like Toxic, for example, When her's was separated from her body for four years...her own brain developed it's OWN personality and experiences. Could that be what the telepaths have been reading in the Asuran prisoner? And if so, could that separate thing be doing some kind of telepathic attacks or something?" Rose shrugged as Measure clicked the rifle against her horns in thought. Rose said,"One flaw in that theory. The Asuran woman's brain is DEAD! No electric activity equals no readable thoughts, regardless of what my daughter Lime, or Neon might have read." Lime said, "I DID read her mind! She seemed nice, and lonely. Then happy to get off that dark planet!" Rose then said,"Wait! We did NOT test the brain activity WHILE her mind was being read! Perhaps the brain becomes active when the Hyper-frame intelligence KNOWS it's being observed!" Measure said, "THAT is so creepy! Brilliant though, but creepy! That would make sense!" Dokka said, "WHY? None of this weird crap makes sense! For instance why would it turn the brain off and on?" Measure said, "Interference! That's why Toxic never had any working thoughts in her BRAIN! Also why Snowflake, when she got possessed by that Scourge for four years, managed to stay sane by fighting him before we got rid of him! Snowy had a working brain that was NOT blank! She could fight BACK!" Dokka blinked. "Alright, I see what you're getting at now. I think as soon as Neon, and Toxic get here, we'll go in. We can't wait for Neblae to find River Prince, where ever he wandered off to. I really wanted him in on this..."Dokka's phone rang. He pulled it out instantly and asked, "Yes?" Rose put a hand on Lime's shoulder, in case she needed to teleport Rose to where ever Jeet was. Dokka looked confused then mad. He said, "I'll be there in a moment!" He hung up. He said, "A Galactic Human just knifed some people! Rose, Measure, Lime--get in there and confront that woman! If she's doing this, break her concentration whatever it takes! Toxic and Neon are on their way...ETA two minutes! GO!" Snowflake ran in behind Dokka and pointed behind her, "CAPTAIN! I just saw that Imperial Human with a knife a couple of corridors away!" Dokka said, "ROSE! keep going, but link up with Snowy, in case we get into trouble!" Dokka pulled out his small, big-barreled pulse-pistol holdout from behind his waistband, and said to Snowy,"Lead on! We have to try to keep him alive as long as possible to give your aunt and Measure a chance to end this!" Snowy nodded. "Rose kept me in the loop via the Cyclops Consensus." Dokka took the next corner wide and said, "Handy thing, that!" The Man turned toward them and grinned with a maniacal look and said, "SISTER!" Dokka said,"THEY can't speak our language!" Snowy whispered, "IT can, though!" The man started towards them. --TO BE CONTINUED!--
