āThen Harvey is contacting me through this energy field thingā¦and I was able to reach back this time, instinctively, because I have the ability but without the knowledge to operate it.ā
āI suggest you do not try again for a long time. There is so much drain it has damaged your arms.ā
āDo something about that, please,ā Paul said, cringing.
āAre you certain?ā
āNo genetic changes, just repair the damage. I canāt relax like this. Speed up the process.ā
āVery well,ā the Voku said, and a moment later cool relief flowed into Paulās arms and he visibly sagged as the cellular stress damage was repaired with stimulated new growth that ate into the food stores within his stomach as well as cannibalizing small bits from Cal-comās body on his command to do so rather than strip other parts of Paul for the materials.
āOver pushing indeed,ā the Human lectured himself as Cal-com disconnected. āI donāt want to know what would have happened if I had really tried.ā
āWhatever is happening to you, you are an infant in it. Take infant steps or risk your own destruction.ā
āBaby steps. Theyāre called baby steps.ā
āI would not know. I was never an infant, but I was clumsy upon waking at my birth even with genetic memory to guide me. You seem to have nothing but instinct here, so I advise you to be very cautious. We are under no time constraints. The galaxy will wait.ā
āRight,ā Paul said, putting a hand on Cal-comās much larger arm as a gesture of thanks. āGuess that means nap time for me.ā
āEat first.ā
Paul raised a finger as if correcting himself. āEat first. How long can we stay here without going back to local food?ā
āA very long time. I will inform you when that changes.ā
āStay smallā¦got it,ā Paul said as he began walking towards the trail that would lead across the small island to the beach on the far side that held their ship.
āWhere are you going?ā
āFor a real shower. Iāll grab a snack on the way, then eat up after. Right now I need the seclusion, and there are too many critters in the water to truly disconnect from.ā
āCivilization has its advantages.ā
āThat it does,ā Paul said as he hopped from one bit of sand to another across some grass to where heād left his shoes. Hardened skin or not, he didnāt feel like stepping on another thorn in the jungle brush, and his feet would forgive the momentary restriction once he got into a temperature controlled shower pod and mentally drifted off into nothingness while his body soakedā¦something heād been far too wound up to do with his previous Saiyan metabolism always set to high.
But now he had a low setting, and since the pain in his arms had disappeared, that low setting seemed to be beckoning to him with a subtle urgency that he knew better than to ignore.

Jason-025 had been one of the āno-essence useā group from the beginning, though now they were all avoiding it. Wilson had wanted to extend the experiment longer so he could get better data, but the trailblazers had nixed that in favor of experiencing it themselves and poking aroundā¦which was now giving them more insight thanks to Wilsonās initial epiphany.
It came down to a matter of exhaustion. Mild exhaustion. But even a slight disadvantage would have consequences if you were unaware of it, and as Jason darted from one ring to another in a new obstacle course set up only 2 weeks ago, he could feel himself adapting to it mentally and physically rather than trying to make the course fit into his existing strengths.
It was a subtle thing. A little bit of perspective that had been missing, but now that he knew to look for something it was blaring loudly. He needed his Essence, and while using it and allowing it to recharge gave him some truly immense combat power, that power came at a cost.
And that cost was mojo.
Heād been discussing it with the others, and not one of them could cite a time when they had gone without Essence use for a period of no less than 2 weeks. Not one of them. Through thousands and thousands of years. They all kept draining it, even when they didnāt have a need to, in order to gradually increase their well size.
That was logical, but because they were relentless in their training and didnāt have the lapses lesser people would, they hadnāt been able to compare the two statesā¦because they were never in the āno-useā state.
And what was missing most of all was fun. Not something that could be analyzed or measured, but everything Jason did now had a bit of swagger that he hadnāt had before. That little bit of life that had been missing was back, and the pointlessness of the continual carnage in the universe was gone. Not because of any new reasoning, but rather because of a feeling.
A feeling that he was where he needed to be, doing what he needed, and as long as he had that he didnāt need to understand the universe to do his part in it.
His part. His path. Those had been numbed up from the Essence depletion as much as being 6 hours deep into a 10 hour training session. You knew you werenāt at full strength, but that didnāt matter. You had an objective to go for and you focused your attention and remaining strength on going for it. Afterwards you would rest and recover, clearing your fogged up senses, but this never-ending Essence use workout had kept them fogged up perpetually,
