into your protocols.”
    “Done.”
    Dee looked at Doc, “What do you think is going to happen?”
    Doc looked her in the eyes and said, “We are about to lose a couple of our technological advantages. D, I want you to extend a small antenna into other space and wait for that cannon to fire. Record what you can but get it out before it’s damaged.”
    “The antenna is active.”
    Dee looked at her scanner, “Doc, once they enable that new scanner, do you think they’ll be able to see us here?”
    “D, what is the composition of this moon’s surface?”
    “Mainly high metal content.”
    Doc looked at Dee, “Why did you choose this particular moon instead of the one over on the planet’s far horizon?”
    Dee thought hard and shook her head, “I honestly don’t know. It was part of the pattern that fell out of my focus.”
    Doc smiled, “It appears you must have read about the moons around this planet.”
    “I read the scan reports that were done by the previous ship but there were more than ten thousand pages of information. I didn’t really remember most of it.”
    “But the information was in your mind. Your focusing ability saw it even if you didn’t.”
    Dee’s eyebrows lowered and she said, “What are you saying?”
    “Euclid has been modifying humans for centuries to produce an advanced being. I believe that you are also a genetic advancement that happened naturally. Your telepathy made me think that you might be different.”
    “We’re not the only telepathic humans on Santa Rosa.”
    “You’re not?”
    “No, there’re thousands of people that are telepathic to some degree. Dom didn’t tell you but his Juliette can also hear his thoughts.”
    Doc looked at Dom and Dom nodded, “That’s what brought us together. We found each other in a crowded city street when we began hearing each other’s thoughts.”
    Dee said, “What do you mean I’m an advancement?”
    Doc said, “Your focusing ability is very similar to what a High Genetic does when they focus on something. You mind actually acts independently of your consciousness and has access to everything you’ve ever seen, read, or heard.”
    “I have to quit consciously thinking in order to do it.”
    “That’s because you haven’t practiced ignoring what’s happening. You can operate consciously while your mind works in the background. I’ll help you learn how to control it.”
    D said, “Something’s happening.”
    Doc said, “With all of our power off, I don’t think they’ll be able to see us on this metallic surface. However, D, if any ships start moving this way, get us out of here.” Doc stared at the Dee’s display and said, “Put optical on the main display.”
    The large display on the wall illuminated and they saw the bottom third of the huge ships facility disappeared, “If what I think is going to happen does, that facility is going to come bobbing out of other space as soon as they fire that cannon.”
    Dee nodded, “Anything in other space will be forced out into normal space.”
    Dom looked confused and Dee said, “They’re going to disrupt other space.” Doc nodded. As they watched, the huge dish on the Hub’s scanning tower began rotating.
    D said, “That was a powerful scan that just passed over us.”
    Doc said, “Turn off environmental!”
    “Done.”
    The huge dish made another rotation and six Slaver ships that had turned and started toward the moon stopped and turned back. Doc said, “How many ships do you think they have in other space?”
    Dee looked at Doc wondering what he was talking about when suddenly the bottom of the huge ship facility appeared and more than twenty thousand ships emerged into normal space. They emerged and filled in the holes of a giant pattern surrounding the planet. Doc shook his head, “D, how many ships would have been close to us at our former location?”
    “Two thousand would have been on us in less than a second. Another five thousand would have arrived two
