"Temrash nice. Not always friendly, but nice. We were not always like this. I was trained to quitly obey. He was ordered to not care. But we are alike. We both want to be free. We try to end war, but we not know how. Shameless and arrugent Hruthin. Corrupt Council. They fight, and all suffer. We want to help our people, but we not know how. We are all we have."

Alic was able to doze off. She could still hear voices, but none of it made sense. She couldn't dream her sleep was so light, refusing to fall into a deep sleep in fear she wouldn't realize if danger reentered the bar.

((I was apparently going. 68 in a 55.. Construction zone. But I wasn't going over 61! Idaho now has quotas they have to meet which started last month and they're crackin down.))

"My host's name is Tara, by the way," she adds hastily.  

<Gee, thanks, I get second billing>

"Yeah, erh, my host is Michael," says Corliss, still tracking Seran.  He scowls.  "Bugger.  Lost him on the local scan."  He pans out and scans at a long range z-space frequency.  

"Tara and I weren't always friends, either," Myitt muses.  "I think you and Temrash could get along with us quite nicely.  We just have to make sure we can trust you.  It's..."  She exhales.  "...very dangerous, our line of work."

((Aw yeah, they're really strict here too in construction zones.  Bleh.  We also pay staties to sit next to construction sites on the highways, and drink coffee...not too shabby a job on taxpayers' money :P))

"Corliss see inside head. But that maybe not enough. Trust take time, Temrash say. So tell me about you. Your past. I listen hard. You spend lots time on Human world?"

Corliss glances at Myitt, who just leans on her good arm and winces a bit.  "I spent time on Earth, yes, before I had to leave.  It was becoming too risky, surrounded by people who had become my enemies.  Couldn't hide anymore.  So..." She shrugs.  "...I moved.  We have facilities from which we can base our strategic attacks against the Empire.  I am nearly fifty Earth years old, but I was loyal to the Yeerk Empire for forty of them.  Do you understand?"

Corliss snickers.  "You were always a rebel."

"Hey, just because I skipped training once," Myitt snaps back.

"I get it. People who were suppose to be friends were not. You had to run. I am very powerful, but even we had to run away. We were never loyal to the Council, but we are loyal to our people. We were stationed on my homeworld. Yeerks take land, pave graveyards. Cut trees. Destroy places we hold dear. Temrash try to make better from inside, but it make him look bad. Soldiers not want to work for him. Officers not want to work with him. Times were tough."

"I remember," says Myitt grimly.  "I was there, too."

"I wasn't, thank the stars," Corliss murmurs.  "Ten Generations of boring technician duty on Olgin saved my neck from that disaster.  Damn.  He's gone.  I don't know where he is, but he's off my star charts."  He closes out the holoscan and shrugs, looking at Ossanlin, Alic and the others of their misfit crew.  "If Seran wants to find us, he won't stop.  I would recommend searching the area for any well hidden tracking devices."

Breekan laughs at Myitt. "It took me a few months to get used to, personally, and thinking fourth-dimensionally is in my blood. It took me a few days more when I found out my old ship was in there." He grins. He pulls a sleeve down for Temrash to show the fur underneath. "And not a cyborg. Just well-equipped. The eye thing..." he pauses. "To be honest, I'm not entirely sure what the eye thing was, quite. I could see things more clearly, though. I could see..." he bites his lip and squints, looking into the air. "It's kind of like, whenever you do something, there's about a billion little factors that go into it happening. Like puppet strings. Everything you've done until that moment, there's a string. And even little stuff, like the motion of air currents, the way your body processes whatever you've last eaten, stuff like that. I understood it better the first time I saw it, when I, uh..." he looks over at Shal, ashamed. "'Hulked out,' you might say. After that stuff flew into my eye, I damn well could have done it again except I understood it a bit better- I could control what was happening."

He takes a swig of the gutwhiskey that's been lying on the counter since before the fight returned.

"Of course, I could also accidentally destroy a planet or something."

"Heh heh. No strings on me. and how you destroy planet by yourself? Go to Hruthin planet, and say you destroy it. Maybe then they learn to be humble."

"Please don't destroy any planets while we're on them, I've died enough today," says Myitt.  

<By the way, you still haven't told me: What is at the end of the tunnel?>

<What?>

<You know.  The tunnel.  Go into the liiiight, all that crap.>

<There is no tunnel.  There's no light.  There are no halos or harps or floating clocks.>

<But there is something?>

<I don't.  Know.>

<Come on.>

Outwardly she has paused for an unusually long amount of time, eye twitching slightly.

"Talking to Tara, Myitt? I can tell. Like when Hruthin talk privately. It can be noticed. Temrash is better, though. He is smarter because I'm not different."

She pauses, then looks at Jagill.  "Hmm?  Oh.  Yes.  And I'd say you're just as smart as he is, if you want yourself to be.  I had an old friend who was very much like you.  Full of self doubt.  It's what naturally happens when you're constantly told to doubt yourself."

"Temrash help me speak good. See how I speak lots? I focus on strength of body. That is where I am best. Temrash does the smart stuff. We are good together. Temrash not say to just be quiet and only obey. I am like any lower rank soldier to him. I have own opinion. But when Temrash in pool, and I speak to other Yeerks, they yell at me. They never hit, or try throw me around. That make Temrash mad, and mean Yeerks get scared. Even higher ranks, though they try to hide it."

Myitt smiles.  "Yes, you and Temrash are good together.  You can help each other in many ways.  Do you think you'd like to help us?  Both of you?  It isn't easy, and life insurance is a real b*tch."  She clears her throat.  "I mean, it's not a very safe way of living.  But I think..."  She glances at Corliss, who shrugs faintly.  "I think the powers that be might let you."

"Don't look at me, mate, I'm not asking 'im," says Corliss, holding up his hands.  "Already got chewed out for following you here when I'm on duty."

"We help you. We try to end war, and retire in peace. We both have tired spirits, but we will not go Beyond until we know the war will end."
