Chapter 9 – Mindgame

Summary: (http://childrenofthegods.net/main/wp-content/uploads/postimage_chapter09.jpg) New background music makes this show one of the most engaging, exciting episodes yet! Grab your headphones and crank up the bass boost. Some popcorn might be a good idea too, because this chapter ended up being much longer than usual! [LOG ENTRY] : "Just call me 'Freak Show Corval'.  It still boggles my mind how it's even possible, but thanks to Fido's limited understanding of the nuances of our language, I've somehow ended up being taken under his wing while he guides me through some kind of rehabilitation procedure that his people use with those among them who have been injured and unable to feed.  He seems to think that if he's able to connect with me enough to feed, then there must be more to us humans than the Tarthet believe.  I think he's right.  Through the link he's been able to create between us, he's unlocked something in me that could very well be laying dormant in many of us!  For example, I spent an entire nightwatch moving a mug around a table without actually touching it!  I've done it so much that it's almost second nature now, and yet I still find it impossible to believe.  Frighteningly, that's just one of the things I've been learning about!  How am I ever going to get anybody else to understand this?  Skipper and Marshall are understandably miffed about it, but my team is another matter entirely.  Hell, I'm not so sure I understand how this came about myself, how can I be expected to explain to them how inevitable this outcome apparently is?  Fido says it's what I call "the luck", doc says its probably genetic, and everybody else makes tracks in the opposite direction.  If any of them knew how far this is likely to go, I think I'd have to start watching my back.  I'm concerned that the situation is about to get out of control very quickly if I don't do something drastic to compensate.  My friends don't know about any of this yet, but I think I'm going to have to open up to them if I expect us to be able to continue on as a team.  Hopefully I don't end up shooting myself in the foot..." - Corval, Kevin / Cpt MPlt / Wing Cmd, Vengeance Fun Facts: This is the longest episode yet, thanks to a scene that was added just prior to giving the greenlight to the voice talent. The episode length is usually determined by the number of pages in the script, but there were so many sound effects and additional material that the extra time was unavoidable. Over 200 sound clips were used in this chapter, not including voices, voice effects and music. STARRING Adam Ketterman ....................
