  Tilly nodded, “They would be a good choice. I don’t know if they’d be willing to leave their children.”

  “They’re entering college two years early; I suspect they’ll be ready when the time comes.”

  Mike thought for a moment and looked at Jess, “Do you get the feeling that they want to turn the job over to us?”

  Jess looked up, “Pete?”

  “I think that is exactly what he’s planning. I see he has developed a sense of trust with you and knows your species is the perfect choice.”

  Tilly frowned, “Why is that?”

  “You’ve paid the price of making the change. You endured the suffering that went with it and emerged stronger as a result. He saw that Jess was willing to do the right thing, even if it meant the destruction of his home world. He knows you will do whatever needs doing to save a species from itself but will also make the hard choice if it has to be removed.”

  Mike shook his head, “Making it for a different species than my own won’t be as hard.”

  “Say that when you have to give the order to kill billions of intelligent beings.”

  Mike was silent for a moment and looked at Jess, “That computer is smarter than I thought. He just made a good point.”

  Elle laughed, “He has all the facts and can access all of them before he offers a suggestion. That’s a huge advantage over us mere mortals.”

  Tilly smiled, “Thank God he’s here.”

  Pete said, “Thank you, Tilly.”

  Jess looked at his panel, “It looks like they’re attempting to communicate; are you ready to get your hands dirty?”

  Mike looked at Tilly, “Welcome to the new age.” He turned to Jess, “Put them on and let’s get started.”
