Chapter One
Cila Wen checked the incoming messages, bringing up data streams with light touches of her fingers. A flashing blue light answered her query. In silence, she opened the digital document and read the document as it scrolled across her screen.
Life on a relay station was rather boring and with no one to talk to Cila looked forward, with a strange intensity, to any kind of letters.
Dear Ms. Wen,
My name is Relay and I am the base manager for Sector Guard Base Morganti. Your particular condition has come to our attention and we have a proposal for you.
I am sure that you are aware of why I have contacted you in print instead of via a standard communication.
I have discussed your situation with other members and base commanders in the Sector Guard and we have come to a conclusion. We can offer you a way to live a relatively normal and productive life.
If you are interested in this possibility, please contact me via the following com signal. I am looking forward to your call.
The string of numbers tempted her.
Cila tented her fingers and stared at the document for five minutes. She exhaled through her nose and keyed in the contact strand.
A woman’s face appeared immediately. She had kind eyes and a face-framing headpiece. Hello, Cila.
She raised her hand in greeting.
Bemused, Cila raised her hand before typing, Hello, Relay.
Are you interested in trying to get your talent under control?
Of course. I don’t understand how it would work though. You are aware of how my talent takes shape?
I am. Our suit techs are confident that they can provide you with a filter that will allow you to operate normally. You will be able to socialize and speak freely once the final system has been tweaked.
Cila wiped the tiny tears from her eyes. Are you sure this will work?
I am sure that if you try and we try and no one gives up, then we have a far greater chance of succeeding.
Cila drummed her fingers on her station as she thought about it. How long until there is someone to take over my station?
Relay grinned. We can have you in a personal transport within the month. Is this a yes?
Yes, with the understanding that if I do not get my talent under control, I will need to be sent to an unmanned facility.
Of course. Wait patiently for thirty days and your replacement and escort will be there to relieve and transport you respectively.
Thank you for your offer. I look forward to seeing what your technicians can come up with. I have yet to see anything that can control it.
I am confident that Fixer can work something out. She is a miracle worker when it comes to dealing with the peculiarities of talents.
Will you warn your emissaries of my speech impediment?
Of course. They will be fully briefed before they arrive. How is Stancha?
Cila smiled. I was wondering if your name was only a title. Relay Stancha is doing well. She is in her twentieth month here and all signs point to her enjoying her post. She loves to gossip.
I remember those days. It is amazing to have the feeling of entire star systems’ worth of information and correspondence running through your mind.
Fond memories?
Until they were replaced by the thrill of being in the data stream and part of the Sector Guard at the same time. I look forward to seeing you in person and discussing this further.
Thank you for your time. Cila inclined her head and accepted the wave that the other woman gave her.
Their signal discontinued and Cila sat
