An ancient artefact discovered outside the city of Zant One was perfect in symmetry and condition preserved for twenty thousand years under the planets surface. Despite various warnings, the site opened to the populace as a primeval psychic temple. Many in the government alarmed, race to interpret an ancient book whilst the religious sector move in regardless. Jim tries to stop the infection that causes madness and self-circumspection caused by penetration of the centre sphere. The infection causes a terrifying acceleration and transformation of psychic power. Jim and his two companions become involved in a final titanic psychic battle to save the populace and planet from destruction worse than death.
The elevator sped downward past the ground floor and deep into the basement. The door opening into a sparsely lit corridor tunnelled with curved beams some twenty feet apart that extended for as far as the eye could see in both directions. Moving along the corridor to the right they stopped outside an oval shaped door with unusual markings carved in the centre. Jim put his hand on the carving and his bracelet activated revealing pictures in his mind of hooded figures moving together and chanting in some strange tongue.
He withdrew his hand and spoke to Dworn. “This is an ancient artefact the door is very old.”
Dworn nodded. “You are now in the centre of one of the oldest cities on Zant One, buried for thousands of full lunation’s (years).” The door slowly opened onto a large square room that had the walls filled with shelves full of small circular portals containing a vast library of some kind. Seated at one of two large oval tables situated in the middle was a tall grey haired man who was studying a document laid out in front of him. He was dressed in a blue robe that sparkled in the dim light. They approached and stood waiting at the table. “Oloniant historian psychic, Raltom Vlare may I introduce you to Mr Jim Long and his associate Miss Farmer from the galaxy police federation.”
After several seconds, the robed figure looked up his old eyes piercing into Jim’s. “You have the gift,” said Vlare, gazing down at Jim’s wrist and touching the bracelet. “But it is manufactured not natural.” Jim nodded as the old man beckoned them to be seated followed by a strange silence, a silence that was filled with telepathic conversation for Jim and Vlare.
