Mystery signal - Quantum Fold Chapter 6/3
Avhal’s voice interupted the conversation. “K’hall, the signal has ceased. It wasn’t possible to pinpoint its origin—closest estimate is within 500 sectors.”
K’hall stood, his eyes narrowed. “Are you certain it was the same signal?”
Avhal stepped closer. “No doubt,” “The signal was strong for a short time. It is unusual. There is no mistaking it.”
“Hold position here. Remain cloaked. Continue scanning in case the signal resumes.” K’hall stood in thought then shifted his gaze toward the girls, His stare of his icy blue eyes was unsettling—like he was peeling back their thoughts layer by layer.
Kayla felt the weight of his scrutiny and broke the silence. “What do you mean by allies?”
K’hall set back down, speaking slowly, his voice low. “Are others of your kind aiding you in this mission?”
His expression darkened. “The signal Avhal detected—it came from a device like the one you carry.”
Both girls stiffened.
K’hall’s eyes locked onto Kayla. “As I have said, the lizards must never gain the ability to breach the veil.” His tone sharpened. “I must know—are you working with others that share your abilities?”
Kayla shook her head, “There is only Adrienne and me. There is a mistake. The signal you received must be coming from some other source.
K’hall’s voice dropped. “Are you certain those who were captured did not survive?”
“Of that I am certain. The reptiles have a device but cannot activate it to send a signal,” Kayla replied, her voice steady.
“Two of your kind were taken by the lizards and perished. Both were jumpers. Both carrying devices, correct? Why do you say the lizards only have one device? What happened to the second device?”
“Adrienne now carries the second.“ Kayla said. “She was unaware of her bloodline or any of this. The reptiles laid one of the captured VDDs out as bait—it called to her. It was when she accidentally activated it that I found her.”
“And the device the lizards possess? Could they have already used it to breach the veil?”
Kayla shook her head, “The reptilians will be unable to activate the VDD they have.”
K’hall didn’t blink. “How can you be so sure of this? The lizards are cunning. They have learned much from humans.”
Kayla stated with certainty, “VDD activation is controlled by thought and requires someone with our DNA. The device is useless to anyone else.”
K’hall’s questions were beginning to feel like a trap. She couldn’t read his thoughts. Kayla’s concern grew.
Then it struck her. She hesitated, glanced at Adrienne, and spoke slowly—almost to herself. “That signal… there IS one possibility.”
