to see the whiteness is gone held up like it’s a blanket cloth by a hand with night sky cloth attached to it and he sees a plant colored Rakcaran face with Rakcaran eye color that is more Human like is leaning over the box staring at him while the face is surrounded by a night sky colored hood and clothing in the same color attached to the hood. He sees the manoid is jerking back and forth a little bit while staring at him with narrowed Human like Rakcaran colored eyes then he sees another like the manoid that doing similar jerking while leaning over staring at him while seeing the other’s mouth move and sees the first manoid’s mouth is moving as if their both in conversation which continues as both are appearing to be talking to each other. He sees them both lift their heads looking at one direction which one holding the blanket places over the box blocking his eyes sight and he is feeling a range of emotions running through him while focusing on confusion and sleepiness which makes him closes his eyes.

  Kossman translating at the moment hears Jiang speak that the scene in Dick’s mind has gone dark and he’s not sensing anything more from Eric. Kossman translates that comment then hears the Seer speaking in a language while understanding him and seeing that Jiang and Niya understand the Seer that the race Eric saw was the Samol who have no loyalty to the Rakcar who rules Rakcara. Seer continues as Kossman frowns that the Samol he senses are manipulating things including the hooked up Eric which he adds is a copy of the original. Seer asks Kossman a question on that theory which Kossman speaks in Zeskaya language while translating his words in Basic that a component told him that files on Eric were altered manually including saying that the original was destroyed which the component told him that the hooked up Eric has accessed the files and in response has brought down a Rakcaran warship. Seer speaks that the Samol must have altered the files in their agenda to get the hooked up Eric to access the planet’s weapons and hid the original Eric keeping him alive and out of the Rakcar’s hands. He hears Niya groan loudly as Seer orders him to bring Jiang and Niya back to Terrania for there’s nothing more they can do here. Kossman obeys bringing them through the gate which they come out of Eric’s bedroom to the living room.

  Leader and group reach the city where they see Humans walking by that don’t notice them. Leader feels creep out like someone is watching him and senses hostility from the Humans towards the Builders and before he can comment on that the Humans point guns at the group firing them which darts hit each member of the group and they go down unconscious. Leader wakes up in a chair restrained to it that is moving to see a large towering building ahead of him with a doorway opening to see Samol appear from hidden forms in front of him. He hears a male voice in Human tones speaking that this is Mesan’s Curse and he’s for the Samol to do what they want with it. Samol he sees one walk behind his chair and he is pushed into the building to see a large room with tubes holding people at the walls surrounding a tube with multiple tube machinery at the sides and the bottom parts with a familiar figure in the middle of the room. He sees the figure in the middle tube is Eric who has all black eyes with an angry expression on his face. He frowns as he looks around the room to spot at Eric in his tube’s left side is a large rectangular object with cloth covering it with part of it up to see two Samol standing besides it with one holding the cloth up. He sees that the cloth covered object is a metal rectangular box with tubes on the bottom going into the floor which the box gives him a strange feeling he can’t identify. He is brought to Eric’s tube as the two Samol pull the cloth covering the box and then stand facing in his direction eyes narrowed in glares at him. He once he’s near Eric’s tube frowns as he hears an electronic voice speaking in Rakcaran language which he understands the words sounding like Eric’s voice speaking in angry tones asking the Samol who the new visitor is. He hears a Samol voice from behind him speaking in Rakcaran language answer Eric’s question saying that the new visitor is a race enemy of the Rakcar called Mesan’s Curse Rakcaran name for the walking dead who they brought to show to Eric they refer as Divine One who has repeatedly asked for the presence of one Mesan’s Curse. He frowns as Eric speaks praising the Samol for getting him one Mesan’s Curse and says that they have captured the right one he had in mind from meeting them before on his former home world. Leader stares at Eric with a confused expression as he is frowning some more inwardly wondering what Eric had in mind requesting him to be present in Eric’s presence. He keeps his mouth shut as Eric pauses then speaks sounding like Eric is talking to him that he is safe from harm here but will having to remain restrained to the chair for his safety from the Rakcar who will try to harm him should they be successful in sneaking into the Samol’s temple. Leader hearing Samol’s temple forms a frown on his face while thinking to himself a question what the Samol have told Eric as Eric continues talking sounding like he’s talking to the Samol that he has successfully brought down a Rakcaran warship from his testing his control on systems. He hears the Samol from standing next to him praise Eric for the successful test and asks to try his control test on a Rakcaran Planet Killer Warship and see if he can bring that ship down. He hears nothing from Eric in response and notices as he stares at Eric, Eric’s all night sky colored eyes narrow with a concentrating like look on his face replacing the angry look on it. Leader has enough of silence speaks out loud a question to the Samol standing next to his chair what they had in mind for Eric he refers as Eric to do for them which he finds his mouth clamped shut by a bare clawed hand that reminds him of Eric which he sees two figures appear from hidden forms in front of him with one hand covering his mouth. He stiffens seeing the figures are females with long night sky colored hair and eyes and facials that reminds him of Eric while seeing them wearing Eric’s breathing tubes on them along with clothing that is similar to Eric’s Sun Lord uniform. He sees the females’ eyes are narrowed with glares on their faces as one of them remove their hand from his mouth as another puts a finger to her lips which Leader gets the sign for quiet and watches as they fade from his eyes sight turning hidden. He looks around the room and his eyes as if drawn focus on the covered with cloth rectangular box which he again gets the strange feeling and stares at it which he gets sleepy shuts his eyes bowing his head. He dreams a vision of an eyes’ sight point of view of Eric with confusion on his face while wearing his breathing tube sitting in a chair with wheels on it underneath a spotlight surrounded by inky darkness. The view continues to show a Rakcar wearing a helmet with lights coming from it walking in view from behind Eric who pushes the chair out of the spotlight which the vision continues to show eyes’ sight following the Rakcar as if the person is walking which follows the Rakcar pushing Eric going through a long cave passageway lighted by the helmet’s lights on the helmet the Rakcar is wearing and entering a small all metal like room at the end which the eyes sight walks to stand in front of Eric staring at him who’s eyes appear to settle on the eyes’ sight as if seeing the person which the confusion remains on his face as the eyes sight looks at the Rakcar who has back to them touching a console on the wall which doors slide closed and there’s a humming sound that lasts a long time as lights above flare on which the Rakcar takes off the helmet putting it on a hook on the wall on his left as the doors slide open showing a lighted cloud colored hallway with lights on the sides blaring it. The Rakcar pulls Eric’s chair with hands on it while walking sideways in the hallway with the eyes’ sight following which focuses on Eric whose eyes are narrowed with a concentrating look on his face while staring at the eyes’ sight. The Rakcar reaches a large room Leader dreaming the vision recognizes as the room where Eric in the tube is judging by the looks of it. The Rakcar turns the chair around going towards a rectangular box which multiple Samol appear from hidden forms which the Rakcar speaks in Rakcaran language in a Human voice tone which Leader understands the words saying that he has brought the original of the copies the Sun Lord as requested by the Samol and have altered the files to say that the original was destroyed which the Samol he sees all nod their heads in agreement as the Rakcar continues to speak that
he hasn’t seen the two female copies which two female voices speaks in Rakcaran language that their here and won’t interfere which he sees the Rakcar turn around to face the eyes’ sight point of view with a frown on his face eyes narrowed as the eyes’ sight walks forwards to stand next to the Rakcar who continues to look at the view. Leader dreaming frowns as he realizes that the eyes’ sight point of view belonged to one of the female copies of Eric himself which he continues to have the vision. He sees the Samol surround Eric while seeing one holding up a syringe injecting it in Eric’s neck who slumps over and watches as one of them open the rectangular box by its lid as Eric is lifted up and carried to the box placed inside it. He watches as they paw Eric repeatedly with their clawed hands and one holds up a thin rectangular box with tubes attached to it to hook onto the lid while putting an oxygen mask on top of it as he sees them put an oxygen mask onto the lower half of Eric’s
