The After Seeding a Second wave book 2

Chapter 1

This wasn't installing John with a lot of confidence about staying conscious. Millie started to reach for John when he held up his hand for her to stop, the energy was of a type to disable anyone with abilities like theirs.

It was getting harder and harder to maintain a sufficient level of awareness, John tried to push the energy out of his body anyway he could think of but nothing was working. Damn it to hell! John was starting to lose the battle for consciousness. If I pass out there won't be any control for the nanomites, no one to compensate for any new dangers or agents that might threaten his wife or daughter.

 Quickly, John knew what he had to do, (all functioning nanomites this is control, set perimeter defenses to maximum, I want no energy signatures to be detectable within. This will remain in effect till master control releases alert, when controls corporeal vessel loses primary function go to double alpha alert.) John hoped that would be enough till he woke up.

(Compliance control, double alpha will be enacted, all five bands of energy shields will be powered to one hundred percent, analysis of energy complete, all shields now adjusted to cause cessation of the energy now in excess in control's corporeal vessel. All data downloaded to control's processing center.)

John watched the display, hmm they were trying an older energy used in a new way, just like he thought, they thought they had a solution and they had nothing. Damn it, he felt like an idiot! He could stop anything they threw at him, he'd just gotten complacent, not having seen an agent in a year now. Millie was starting to get pissed, if John lost control and passed out they'd be vulnerable for a few hours.

She'd heard everything that had transpired between John and the nanomites, at least now she wasn't as worried but what the hell was double alpha alert? Looking at John she felt him getting further and further away, the worry was etched on her face. John could barely see now but tried to reassure Millie and their daughter, (I'm about to lose consciousness all the defenses are at full please don't worry I'll be back soon,) with that John was unconscious. Millie began to tremble without the nanomites or John, they really had no warning of what was going on.

John was floating in a weightless void, though pleasant John was extremely worried about his family. A voice called out from a distance, "John? I feel your presence in the Miacarian dream sharing field," John wasn't sure but he thought it sounded a lot like Mitch. "Yes John, it is the container you knew as Mitch, you have done your race proud, you are the first of the limited races, that has been able to achieve this level of awareness. Ah I see, you are under attack." With that John felt Mitch wave his hand and all the energy was drained from his body.

"Thank you Mitch, I let my guard down, I have shamed myself allowing them to get to me. The agents have managed to advance their machinery, I was careless thinking I was stronger than I was." John felt that Mitch would be angry if he wasn't honest besides he knew everything John did anyway, why hide anything?

"Yes John, the energy readings in your container spiked to a level that you shouldn't be able to achieve for at least another of your year cycles." Mitch replied.

"I did not mean to intrude upon your dream transfer field, I was extremely worried about my family and it happened." John said.

"Yes, it's as you perceived it appears that your abilities as you call them are linked to your emotions, fascinating." Mitch said sounding somewhat thrilled.

"Michokelithompatin? Are you in the dream transfer field?" Another voice came from near Mitch.

"Yes Helemathitalitic, we apparently have a scientific oddity," Helen's image appeared within seconds.

"John? How is this possible? Your present stage of evolution should not allow your race to manifest it's self upon this energy plane, yes Michokelithompatin fascinating indeed." Helen said astounded.
