The last time I slept, I had a dream, or nightmare I should say, about the young girl that worked the front desk at the hotel where I was taken
prisoner. Her remains were seated across from me in my cell. Her left arm kept reaching out to touch me. The last time I saw her alive, she was at her station next to the bell hops. She waved hello to me. She was in her early twenties, average height, and
very pretty, medium length dark brown hair to her shoulders and always smiling. Her voice was melodic and her eyes were big and bright brown. The next time I saw her she had her upper torso, say around the mid-ribcage area, blown apart from the lower part
of her body. Her head sat about 5 feet from the rest of her. She was the last person I saw before the sack was tightened around my head for the trip.
In order to control the robot, its master will wear the control which appears to be an ordinary wrist watch. The face of the watch, which is a fully functioning watch (the second hand sweeps like a Rolex by the way), flips up and the rest of the communicator
is revealed. It is somewhat recognizable when looking at the guts of the communicator. A mixture of Gargoyle and human technology mounted on recognizable breadboard. Only there is a tremendous catch, if you will. The unit is NOT powered by a typical watch
battery. There is an atomic battery within it. The size of the ball on a ball point pen mounted on the board. I don’t know what material was used, but I was told by Palador the battery has a 500 year half life. That seems impossible, but here is the
bigger news. The watch communicates with the robot’s CPU, and vice versa, on an Electro-gravitational wave. Not radio waves, which can be detected, jammed, and intercepted. This is a whole new method which allows for the penetration of the communication,
via electro-magnetic wave, to travel through walls, the Earth’s mantle, through storms, atmospheric disturbances, and even through radio jamming static. This means instant communication with the robot from anywhere on Earth. I am no communications expert,
but I know a little about transmissions and communications and I asked Palador again, "how?" He indulged me by telling me the communication carries itself out the way superluminal waves travel out longitudinal from and atomic blast. The communication is traveling
through the Ether or medium of which matter exists. The communication cannot be jammed and it travels at the speed of light. If the robot was on the dark side of our moon, it would receive communications from its master at ALMOST the instant they are spoken.
The communication does not have to travel to a satellite, towers or follow pathways.
I assume my jaw was hanging open when
Palador explained this to me. A moment later, he told me humans have little idea how detectable they are in the universe; as well as how we have been holding ourselves back. I found this assertion very strange but Palador wasted no time in filling me in. Palador
said the Ether which matter exists in allows for the detection of atomic explosions across the universe. Atomic blasts on Earth have been detected and analyzed by intelligences far greater than that of even the Gargoyles. He told me the explosion in Russia
very early in the Twentieth Century (I guess the event happened in Tunuska or Tunguska, I do not remember) was detected and caused lots of interest in this sector for several races.
Palador went on to tell me how humans are limiting themselves or being manipulated to not advance. I asked him to explain his assertion. He simply said you humans use your Algebra in a Universe that is built around Geometry. I have an idea of what he means,
but it is outside of my discipline. I asked him to explain a little further. He came back by asking if I noticed how none of the real crimes which take place in society never receive much coverage in the news; or how some criminals seem to operate unfettered.
This makes me believe the Gargoyle Gang’s network is so vast and extensive; the Gargoyles are already in every developed nation on Earth. Very
soon, the Gargoyles will be able to subdue any country, defense contractor, military facility and wreak havoc either with their agents or with the robot. Yet, it will only be one voice, permanently etched into the robot’s brain. It will
have to be one of the Aliens which control the robot. I wonder if it will be Guillotine.
