of like freezing their minds.
He had done it last night to the council when showing his memories. He had done
it again today to try to get the males to listen to reason.
When everything went silent and stayed that way, Kniam continued. “There
is more that the members of the community need to know, as well as the Earth
female.” He pointed at the holographic projection, and it zoomed even further.
They were looking at the cellular level. Zoomed in once more, and now they were
looking at the DNA.
Everyone in the room froze, and it wasn’t his hold on their minds that
did it. “The little Earth female holds the answer to everything.” His gaze held
Ambers and he knew she didn’t understand what was going on. He changed the
projection.
Now there were stars everywhere. It seemed like all the stars in the
universe rotating around the room.
"From my conversation with the Earth female in trying to find where
she comes from, we have taken all known port pad locations that we have
archived over the last twelve thousand years of searching. As you all know, the
ones we have found have not had any humanoid life on them, the only life we
have ever managed to find was the Antilleans. It is impossibly hard to dial a
port pad at just the right time to actually find anything. The port pad
locations we have mapped are placed here on the map.” Kniam pushed a button.
“We took away all systems with red giants.” He clicked and some galaxies
disappeared. “We took out all that were not in spiral galaxies.” He clicked
again and more disappeared. It was getting to be slim pickings. “We limit the
choices with yellow stars.” Click.
Kniam was watching Amber, “We take inhabitable planets that are the third
from their sun.” Click. “The little female would call this planet Earth. We
would call it Terra…or the home world.”
Chapter Fourteen
Kniam locked his gaze on her and started clicking and talking about
planets. “We take inhabitable
planets that are the third from their sun.” Click. “The little female
would call this planet Earth. We would call it Terra…or the home world .”
There was no mistaking the floating, blue marble that was Earth.
“So Earth is your home world…” She almost laughed out loud. It was
starting to make sense now. Kniam and the men on this planet were from Earth!
They had evolved in one direction here on this planet and the survivors of
whatever calamity on Terra had evolved in another. That is why they looked so
much like Earth men, because they were! Why was Kniam worried how she would
react? Granted, with the little he knew about women, maybe he thought she was
going to start running around screaming. Ok, so she had been screaming in the
cage when he first saw her. Then she had been screaming when she jumped out of
the medical unit. Again the screaming when they had tried to grab her, and
again in the shower. So maybe there was the impression that she was a screamer.
But he really needed to have some faith that she wouldn’t have a melt down at
every turn!
“Yes. According to the archives the port pad on Terra had deactivated.
There were attempts being made to repair it, but the situation was dire. The
planet was thought to be dying, which as we now know, isn’t exactly true.
Somehow Amber, you activated the one on Terra and arrived on Antilles through
the original portal. We have checked and it is showing recent activity. Kneus
can continue. He has studied the archives, and is the most knowledgeable.”
Kniam inclined his head to Kneus.
Kneus took up the telling, “The original fathers were sent with certain
supplies to try to find a viable planet to colonize. Included in those supplies
was a port pad that would link to Terra and nowhere else for safety reasons,
with the assumption that they could repair theirs. More importantly, they were
supplied with a certain number of “clone” eggs. These were female human eggs,
stripped of all DNA so the original fathers could
