face then one of them holds a large syringe with a big needle and tubes attached to it coming from the lid sticking it in Eric’s chest then they close the lid backing up as two Samol cover the box with a cloud covered cloth completely covering the box then step back. The Rakcar speaks that the Rakcar with manipulations will put a biological copy of the original in the main battery tube soon. He hears a female voice speaking that the Rakcar has to remove the biological copy’s breathing device for him to gain control of systems and mentions having a memory of the original hooked up to a Rakcaran warship with his breathing device removed and used his rages to gain control of the Rakcaran warship’s internal defense systems successfully destroying the Rakcar and the Rakcaran battery and freeing himself and others from the battery systems. One of the Samol walks to the eyes’ sight to stand in front while praising for telling them that which would make it easier for their plans for the Rakcar to come to true just the way they planned which two female voices speaking in unison speak their agreement to the Samol’s words. He hears the Rakcar speak the he has to be going and doesn’t want to be around when the Rakcar make an appearance which the eyes’ sight see him walking off into an opening in the wall which doors slide close behind him. The eyes’ sight turns towards the Samol who speaks that they like the Samol should hide in hidden forms and be ready for the Rakcar’s arrival and make sure that the Divine One referring to Eric is hooked up without his breathing device for their plans to come to fruition. The eyes’ sight bobs up and down like their nodding the head then the Samol in the view fade from sight going hidden as the scene goes black which Leader realizes that Eric the original is in the rectangular box trapped in it hidden from the Eric in the tube. Leader jerks his eyes open as a hand feeling like one of the female versions of Eric is patting his cheek which he raises his head up to see no females in his eyes sight while feeling the hand stop patting his cheek and he shifts his eyes towards Eric whose expression changes from concentrating to a glare with mouth in a thin line and senses Eric is angry which he frowns. He sees a Samol walk in his line of sight to stand in front of the tube with back to him while hearing the Samol speaking in a questioning tone asking Eric calling him Divine One what is the matter for he senses powerful angry vibes coming from him and wants to know what the problem is. Leader stiffens as he hears an electronic roar sound in Eric’s voice in an angry tone and sees the Samol jerk backwards hitting the floor appearing to be shot dead with body and clothes falling apart into dark night sky colored liquid that pools the metal floor turning into dirt. He feels a clawed hand touch his chin and a Samol voice whispering in Rakcaran language sounding feminine in his ear to speak a question out loud to Divine One on why their companion was shot dead. Leader stiffens as an image of Eric standing underneath a spotlight surrounding by inky darkness lifting up a finger to his lips doing the sign for quiet with a glare on his face flashes in his mind’s eye which he whispers to the Samol in Rakcaran language that the Divine One is busy concentrating on his work doing what they requested and doesn’t want to be distracted or disturbed by the Samol hence him shooting their companion for that. He hears the Samol give off a groaning tone before whispering in his ear how he figured that out which he replies whispering that he saw the Divine One’s expression change to anger and heard the Samol remark about sensing anger from him which he assumes that the Divine One is busy doing what the Samol requested taking down a Rakcaran Planet Killer warship which is giving him problems judging by him giving off anger and doesn’t want to be distracted or disturbed by the Samol in the process of working out the problems. He shuts his mouth as the Samol again gives off a groaning tone and hears the Samol whisper that their glad that Mesan’s Curse is here helping them understand the Divine One’s mood for its not the first time he shot one of the Samol dead for he has done that before three times and refuses to give them an explanation whenever they asked him and adds that the Divine One like the times before shooting a Samol gave off a roar sound in angry tones before he shot a Samol dead. Leader whispers asking a question about what the three shot Samol before the fourth was shot was doing before Divine One shot them. He hears the Samol reply whispering that the first Samol was revealing themselves to Divine One to form a dialog with him which the Samol wound up shot in the process of that first meeting which they had to use begging and pleading for peace which Divine One started talking to them. Leader frowns as he whispers that the Divine One must be aware of being hooked up as a battery by the Rakcar and thought the Samol was working for them as caretakers hence him shooting one of them. He hears the Samol whisper that the Samol appeared from their hidden states to fight off Rakcar from near the entrance to the building who wound up dead and during them savoring their victory of the battle the Divine One asked a question of what was going on which one of the Samol told him and wound up shot dead which their still confused about. Leader whispers that the victorious Samol must have spoken in a bragging voice tone which the Divine One didn’t like hearing that tone shot the Samol for speaking to him like that. He hears the Samol again groan then whisper that the third Samol appeared from hidden state behind the Divine One’s tube and was shot dead which Leader whispers that the Divine One was defending himself thinking the tube would be attacked for he suspects that the tube’s controls are on the back of it which the Divine One was trying to keep intact. He hears the Samol again groan then he darts his eyes towards Eric as he hears an angry roar sound and hears Eric’s electronic voice sounding angry speaking without indication who he is talking to speaking that he’s sick and tired of being manipulated and will do what he’ll do to get what he wants while adding words about he can play this manipulating game too and will not be stopped till he has achieved his goal followed by another roaring sound then silence. Leader notices out of the corners of his eyes the Samol standing next to him scratch their heads with confused expressions on their faces. He stares at Eric’s face that shows anger with narrowed eyes and stiffens as he realizes that Eric is aware of being manipulated by the Samol which dawns on him that the Samol want Eric to gain control of the Rakcara planet’s planetary defense weapons systems to fire it on the planet in their goal of destroying the Rakcar. He frowns as he hears a voice in his mind sounding like Eric speaking introducing himself as Divine One and adds that the Samol can be manipulated too like their doing to him along with adding that he detected the files on the original Eric were altered manually which led him to believe that there’s something sinister going on hence him ordering them to capture and bring him a Mesan’s Curse for communicating on sharing his findings to the Mesan’s Curse and has since detecting the files’ alterations having a dialog with a battery component named Jon who has been trying to contact him which he has acknowledged after ignoring him awhile after himself was hooked up as a battery. Leader keeps his face from changing expressions as he stares at Eric who he senses to his shock can see him and has his eyes staring at him. He mentally speaks that he knows where the original is which he is interrupted by Eric mentally saying that the female copies have mentally blabbed to him the original’s location which is the box covered by a cloth sitting next to his tube after they contacted him mentally and was told by them that a Rakcar with a Human voice tone has admitted altering the files manually in front of them just before the Samol put the original in the box. Leader mentally speaks that Jon can contact people through them asleep which Eric mentally speaks that Jon has told him that along with adding that Jon has been in contact with another copy who is relaying information from the both of them to Mesan’s Curse. He keeps his expression the same as Eric continues that he has already told Jon to tell the copy to tell Mesan’s Curse, Leader’s location along with adding that he has been in contact with the female copies who are at the location spying on the Samol and doing manipulating work on them while checking on the status of the original in the box who is in some frozen state with an active mind according to scanner files on the box. He frowns inwardly as Eric continues mentally speaking that Jon is still working on contact
ing the original and hasn’t had any success which Jon suspects that the box according to its scanner files is to keep the original frozen but awake hence the scanners saying that the original’s mind is active which suggests that he can’t fall asleep due to the frozen state keeping him like that. Leader wakes up to eye the box and hears Divine One he assumes he’ll call him get into a verbal argument with the Samol about not being honest with him about being a copy of someone called Eric who’s still alive. He eyes the box to see Samol back away from it and hears breaking sounds along with the cover removing itself to see Eric come out that fades from view which he feels the females of Eric picking on his restraints which he yells in Basic a comment of getting him out of there and finds himself freed by hands pulling him that he senses is Eric. He leads them and females to the entrance only to feel Eric repeatedly jerk his arm halting his process several times that have him
