picture again. “Also, I got the feeling I could trust him by the look in
his eyes. His reaction wasn’t violent. He seemed genuinely thankful to see us,
not afraid or angry.” Celi giggled. “Actually, he seemed quite clueless as to
his situation, and the look on his face when we tried to speak to him the first
time was hilarious. The only thing I suspect Seles will have to worry about is
answering a thousand questions.”
    “Let’s hope so.” Valis looked at Kivi. “I have some
business to attend to. Kivi, please take over for me.” She left on the
elevator.
    Kivi took her place at the captains’ chair. She looked
at the screen with Brian on it. “Is it just me Celi, or do the rest of you find
this alien…attractive?”
    The others on the bridge blushed and turned away. Celi
turned to Kivi. “That’s one way to put it Kivi. Given we have no males amongst
us, it’s only natural we’d see this alien as attractive. Even a hundred and
fifty years can’t deny our natural instinct in finding males attractive.” Celi
went to Daes. “I’d like your help studying this alien in the lab.”
    “I’d love to,” Daes said. “Is that alright?”
    “It’s prudent we have as much information on this
alien as possible. So go ahead,” Kivi said.

    Valis entered her quarters and immediately headed for
a side room. Inside, an extensive library of large books lined the walls. It
must be here somewhere. She thought to herself. She scanned the shelves,
taking an old, large tome from the shelf. I’m sure it’s in the Sixth Book of
Kali, Chapter 16. She opened the book on the metal desk. She paged through
the tome until she found the passage she sought:
    On the seventh day of the third month, a stranger
appeared from the sky. He rode upon a ship of light and came to us with open
arms. The stranger looked of our own but taller with round ears. He spoke of
peace and unity and told us one day he would return.
    She looked at the monitor on the wall. “Please display
all information on the alien.”
    The computer displayed numerous measurements alongside
his picture. Valis read further along in the text:
    The stranger stood a head taller than us with long
black hair. He had hair on his face and eyes of a foreign brown color. He was a
giant to behold with a kind heart to match his size.
    She looked up at the image. This one has long brown
hair, blue green eyes, and pale skin. I don’t see hair on his face, though the
size is similar. Valis turned the page a few times, reading more:
    On the twenty first day of the eighth month, the stranger
stood upon his ship of light. He told us one day he would return for our help.
The stranger told us of a great evil walking above the clouds, an evil he alone
could not defeat. And so, he spoke these words before leaving us: “One day many
years from now, your race will ride upon the sky as I do. A great battle will
fill the skies, and evil shall rain down to your world. On that day, I shall
return to help you as I have done, and in return you shall help me…” And so,
the stranger left on his ship of light, never to be seen again.
    She walked up to the monitor. He may not look the
same as the description of the stranger, but there’s something about this
Brian.
    “Are you the Herald?” Valis asked. “Is the great evil
written in the book of Kali near?”

    Daes and Celi entered the infirmary, a large, long
room filled with raised beds. On the far side a number of surgical rooms and
labs were positioned. A few of the beds had Kalaidians in them, the injured
from the recent battle. Daes and Celi headed into the largest lab. It was
filled with computers and chemicals. Celi turned on the monitors to display the
data on Brian.
    “I know I asked for your help, but biology isn’t a
topic you usually look this excited for?” Celi asked.
    “True, but this alien is to ours genetically, and
male. I’m sure you want him for more than just another specimen to
