    "Are you sure that is what it said?"  Silias asks.

    Kat nods, "I'm sorry we couldn't find any more information."

    Silias sighs and heads toward the door with the sun on it. "It's alright Kat, you did what you could with what you had. I will tell the Council, go get some dinner and rest. We will contact you if  anything else comes up."

    Kat nods and turns to Cade, "Let's get some food."

    Cade leads the way to the cafeteria, knowing that it isn't the time to make a joke. They are one of the only ones there when they arrive. Cade gets them food while Kat sits down at a table. He puts food in front of her before sitting down next to her.

    "How are you feeling," He asks.

    She shrugs, "Fine a little disappointed, and my head is throbbing."

    He chuckles, "Well, there isn't much we can do. I'm still surprised there were that many Alterations in one spot. I know that they tell us that they didn't get all of the colonies, but I never expected to run into one."

    Kat's eye glaze slightly over "They are all over. They gather because they have too."

    Her eyes return to normal, and a deep unsettling feeling settles in her mind like she missed something.

    "Well, I suppose you could be right. Either way, it's still surprising."

    Kat rubs head, "I'm going to my room. My head has started pounding harder."

    She stands up and leaves the room, leaving Cade to eat her untouched food. She gets into the elevator and pushes the button for her floor. She rubs her head against the pulsing pain. The elevator dings, and she stumbles into the hallway. She unlocks her door and collapses on to her bed.

    The next morning a pounding on her door wakes her up. Grumbling she walks over and opens the door mid knock.

    "What?" She growls at the man waiting there.

    "Uh...Silias wants to see you."

    "Go tell Cade and tell him that if he doesn't do it, then I will mess with his bike."

    She slams the door and is about to climb into bed when there is another knock. She grinds her teeth before opening the door again only to see Silias instead of the man from before. She sighs, and motions for him to come in then proceeds to make herself something warm to drink.

    "What do you want Silias?"

    "I have a job for you."

    "My head is pounding. Go ask someone else."

    "I would, but according to the locals this Alteration talks."
