for much longer,” Coreframe projected inward.

“Mommy warm, mommy feed, mommy always come.”

      â€śYour incubator is gone and can’t get here. Release your burden. Once I control this body fully, I will be the supreme being of the universe. Your legacy will live on in me. You should be honored to serve in such a manner,” Coreframe argued.

      â€śDaddy strong, daddy protect, daddy smash you.”

      Coreframe realized it had been correct. There was no point in speaking to such a tiny undeveloped mind. It had no grasp of its circumstance. The problem though was that without full control of the body and its potential, Coreframe might not be able to escape the Forlorn. What would happen if it were captured in this state was entirely uncertain.

Chapter 29- Scope of the Problem

      Jay yelled across the room, “You don’t get it. You didn’t almost die. You did die. I had to watch it. I had to feel you die. It tore me apart inside, like a part of myself was being cut out.”

      â€śYelling won’t change the fact that none of us remember that,” Amelia said, “I agree that I would cry if anything happened to any of them. Even Eesa is great, and I wouldn’t want her to be lost.”

      â€śI know you don’t remember, but you also all trust me. You know that I had to warp time to save them. This time it wasn’t in a small space. It was tens of thousands of miles and affected millions of Forlorn on those ships. I still feel sick to my stomach from the way that time is rippling around me now,” Jay snapped.

      â€śWe all appreciate your concern for us, husband. But this is war. Some of us may get hurt,” Jessie said.

      â€śNo, I won’t let that happen. You all have to stay back. I don’t know what will happen if I start twisting time on scale like that again, but I also won’t let any of you die. I need each of you.” Jay sat and put his head in his hands as he spoke.

      Meikiyo ran her hand through his hair as she said, “I want to believe you can do anything my love, but somethings are beyond even you.”

      â€śMeikiyo is right, Jay. You are incredible but you aren’t a god,” Trina added.

      â€śWell except for in bed,” Huong giggled

      â€śSo it comes down to this in the end. I thought if I worked hard enough, we might be able to find a way around it, but it is all about power,” Jay said but it was clear he was talking to himself more than anyone else.

      Then he lifted his head up and said, “Spread the word. I will fuse with any member of Team Jay that wants to. They have to commit to exclusivity, but I won’t require any promises about children or such. They just have to be willing to lend their strength to the fight.”

      The girls looked at each other and Jay was sure that a flurry of telepathic communication was going back and forth. Mia finally spoke, “Why now? We destroyed half that fleet that attacked us. Surely, we can handle the rest. I know that fifteen thousand ships sound scary, but we have had a few more of those bombs ready within a week, less time obviously with Tempus Fugit.”

      â€śI can’t Tempus Fugit now. The fabric of time in this area is all wonky now. I don’t know how to explain it and that is on me, but something isn’t right. I don’t want to kill us all by trying to save us.”

      â€śOkay, so we trust you. We can feel that you believe this to be true and that is good enough for me at least. But why the rush? You said something about two days left,” Amelia asked.

      â€śIt is almost as difficult to explain. You know I had dreams in the past, well I had another one and I was screaming while surrounded by light that ripped the heavens apart. More significantly, I was all alone. Do I know what the dream meant? No. It was too short. But I do know better than to disregard those dreams.

      Then there is the fact that I have a strong premonition or precognitive sense that something unbelievably bad is about to hit us. Imagine if you will that a normal precognitive warning is a light slap across my face. This feeling is more like having a piano dropped on me and then a bomb exploding all around me. This is the big one. I either prevent it or it ends us all,” Jay said.

      Silence settled over the room. Jay braced himself for more arguments but one by one he could feel them resign themselves to accepting what he was saying. Eventually Amelia said, “We will follow you, but don’t think you can handle this by yourself. We won’t be left behind. For now, we will go and talk to our pods and find out who is willing.”

      â€śThank you all. I will do all that I can to save us all.”

      â€śWe know you will, my heart,” Mia said. We will see if we can prepare a few more of the big bombs but they take time to sync up all the powers.”

      â€śNo, please. It is going to take me a while to fuse properly with these girls depending on how many are willing. Please use that time to finish upgrades on as many of the Tamoori starfighters as possible. We will need them to act as distractions,” Jay said.

      He glanced over at Eesa and said, “Don’t worry, we won’t put them in any more danger than necessary. I will treat every life as precious.”

      â€śMy people are not prey to die old and sick in
