The attempt on Heliera's life had made her on edge. She was constantly looking over her shoulder unless Hoki was present. Which luck would have it, was, fairly often!
Fibre optics are a great invention. Using energy conduits they can transmit vast amounts of data to systems all around the Akademy. Relay terminals known as Psloa trans feeds, help maintain a balanced power level.
Moving towards Heliera, Kinsey waved. Failed to see Uanita spill her Frubu.
Stood, about five feet away from a Psloa trans feed unit. A Ket caught her attention. She had not seen a Ket like this one!
Pure white skin and with black tattoo tribal markings?
Curiosity getting the better of her? In front of her, a foot or so? Delise. Muttering to her that they were going to sit in the corner? She turned to follow her.
Kinsey slid on the wet surface, slamming into the Psloa unit. Her hands in panic, grip a panel that is torn off, thrown outwards, her hand now free grabbing at anything it can take hold of?
The hand flays out, to disappear into the unit itself. A flash of energy pulses across her.
In fact if eyes could have lit up, about now, they would have been lighting the whole area! It was a massive discharge into her. The unit shut down. Everything in pitch black? Well almost! Some were about to call a Medisent. Kinsey was not moving, was she even breathing? A Ket moved towards Kinsey. Telling those close to her, to move, out of the way?
Becci and the others, somewhat puzzled at first, not recognizing, nor having interacted, in any way socially or otherwise, with the Ket in question? The strange white of her skin and those markings? They were somewhat alarmed. Uanita tried to pull her off Kinsey. She shoved, SHOVED Uanita with some force, out of her way. Grabbed at Kinsey.
Her fingers taking hold of her arm? The white of her skin? It turned an orange color before it changed back to white.
She stepped back the other Kets including Ameryst glaring at her.
Suddenly Kinsey moved! Coughed and her eyes opened. “Not good, to leave that amount of residual energy, still in your
body!” Kinsey smiled at Kibu. “YOU, I sensed it, felt it, could see YOU touch me.
The sensation of losing consciousness, then gone.
I’m Kinsey.“ "Elder Kibu.“ Introductions over Kibu was welcomed to join them? “Fluxon Correlation burst“ Kibu giggled. “Nasty that, leaves particles that retain residual energy in the body! My species, absorb those particles feeding off the positive energy, had a nice little buzz, from you!“ More giggles. Kinsey was saying nothing for a while, she needed refreshments.
“So where are you from?” Ameryst had dropped her hostilities towards Kibu, something the other Kets were somewhat pleased to note! Kibu had an almost white complexion, really strange to look at? Not really, Kets came in all shapes, sizes and colors! Kibu’s skin temperature, because of the whiteness of the skin, appeared cold but on touching it; the skin was anything but! About the same as theirs?
“Just north of the Tirkwan worlds. An ice world, a lot of glaciers and mountains, but also some beautiful places, with waterfalls and lush forests. Most of our cities are underground and heated by hot springs, from volcanic lava deep down in the worlds core. Whilst we are white in complexion to match the snow!“ she giggled again.
“We like our warmth!“ “So how did you know it was a." Becci paused, eating a cookie as we would know it, she mumbled the words, getting the whole sentence jumbled! “Fluxon correlation burst!“ Becci caught her breath! Some of the other Kets were grinning!
“Well it is a lot to say.“ “She’s not into sciences.“ Delise grins. She had been stood nearby talking to another Ket, who now joined them. “Its a sophisticated energy transformation system, particle mass, streams through the optical conduits, like a “ Delise paused.
“Audio or visual stream?” “Yep that’s close! Cept a lot more sophisticated for the holographic units!“ Kibu moved closer to Becci. “Usually it takes a phenomenal amount of energy." Serenia appeared. Moved towards them as they went quiet.
"Corky and Margise will be here in a few minutes. We have something to tell you all, I have to warn you it is not good news.“
