powerful
minds but very chaotic. She removes the neck devices with her mind.
As the devices fall to the floor, the test subjects’ chaos and pain
subside at a rapid pace. Perhaps their creators did not realize the
neck devices did not have the effect they were hoping for. Instead
of controlling them, they cause their subjects to go insane.
    “Relax, calm down. No one is going to hurt
you. It will be okay,” Eve said telepathically and sent images of a
peaceful and relaxing nature. She looked into their minds and even
though their bodies were probably teens or young adult, they seemed
to have the education and social skills of a five-year-old. This is
probably because their creators were only interested in using them
as controllable weapons. They did not even speak a language yet,
but they could still communicate telepathically. They calm down and
talk to Eve telepathically.
    “Where are we? What is this place? I am
scared. What is going on? Why are people so mean to us? We are
confused.”
    “We are leaving this horrible place,
children. I will protect you from harm. Everything will be okay. No
one will be experimenting on you anymore.”
    “Who are you? Why are you wearing a suit like
those mean people?”
    “The suit is used to protect me against
things that might harm me. You do not need to wear one of these
suits because things that can harm me cannot harm you for the most
part. I am your mother,” Eve flatly states. She looks at them and
notices they resemble vampires, but they are different in several
aspects. Apparently, they do not need oxygen survive, and walking
out in open space does not seem to bother them, much like
undead.
    “Come with me, children, as we must leave
this place at once. It is dangerous to stay here.” She gives them a
hug and reassures them everything is okay. The two young girls
leave the room holding their mother’s hands. Out in the hall, the
rest of the crew is sitting there watching the monitor out in the
hall but not understanding what is going on since most of the
conversation was done telepathically.
    “Um…so what is up, Boss,” Gartooth says,
wanting understand.
    “It will be okay; these are my daughters, and
I am taking them with me. They had some sort of collar on them that
I think it was supposed to control them, but instead it was driving
them insane. They have the mental development of about a four- or
five-year-old. They can’t even speak a language yet, which is
understandable since their creators were not interested in their
educational and social development as they simply wanted a
controllable weapon. In my mind, those sadistic bastards got what
was coming to them for what they did to my girls and me. Call it
poetic justice,” Eve said. “I can communicate with them
telepathically though.”
    “Okay, but we will need to keep them separate
from the crew until I can confirm that they are not contagious to
us. There is one thing I would like to note, they do not register
as living beings or undead; instead, they are something else a new
sentient life form,” Dr. Farshe explains. She looks at Gartooth’s
bio-armor and sees a huge hole.
    “It is okay, Doc. It did not go all the way
through as this armor is pretty tough. I could not have taken a
second hit—that is for sure. Guess I got lucky. A minor flesh
wound,” the crocodile winks.
    “Back to the ship. Let’s go.”
    After about 30 minutes, the landing party is
back on board. Eve’s daughters freak out a lot of the crew at first
but nonetheless they are taken in. The daughters are placed in
bio-suits and moved to Eve’s quarters. The doctor starts running
tests on them to make sure that they are not infectious to the
crew.
    Back on the bridge, they are getting ready to
move away from the asteroid belt.
    “Gartooth, I want you to blow that entire
place to dust, including the undead ships, so begin now.”
    “Yes, Boss. You know how I love to blow stuff
up,” he commences to pressing buttons. They
