"Hello, Harry."

_"_ Marlene? Jana? How shall I call you?"

"Marlene. I don't even remember being Jana. Besides, I've been too many people."

"Dar?"

"Yes."

"See? You answer to them all. I'm glad you're all right."

Carlos watched in amazement. Tears ran down Marlene's face. He didn't know if they were tears of joy or sadness. _What did he say to her?_ He wondered. _Mother has a strange contented look on her face._ He had never seen her look so happy. Then, why was he nervous—even a little frightened about what was happening?

"Carlos, you have to do this," Marlene said. "He wants to talk to you."

"This isn't talking."

"It's better."

"No, I can't."

"Yes, you can." The voice was coming from all around him. "I can talk to you without it, but it would be more private if you would just touch the gel. Carlos, my brother, my friend, I know why you have come back."

Mother looked at Carlos askance. "You think you need me to tell what is real and what is not."

"How do you know that?"

"It is a logical assumption since I can see through SensaVision and you can't. Besides Makr is fully aware of what is happening. He's weakening, but you cannot kill Him no matter how hard you try. Makr's not the real problem."

"How do you know so much? You've been there."

"Makr has spoken to me here from time to time. He uses the gel; it's full of nanotechnology."

"Nano-what?"

"Tiny cyberts...

"Cyberts?"

"...operating at a cellular-level to manipulate our antibodies and cells to heal quickly."

That's how it heals. It also communicates.

"But why would He help us?"

"I don't know all the particulars yet. He is concerned

 " Marlene. I don't even remember being Jana. Besides, I've been too many citizenry. "

 " Yes. " 

 " See? You answer to them all. I'm beaming you're all right. " 

 Carlos watched in amazement. bust ran down Marlene's grimace. He didn't know if they were tears of joy or gloominess. _ What did he say to her? _ He wondered. _ Mother has a foreign contented look on her face. _ He had never seen her look so felicitous. Then, why was he nervous — even a little frightened about what was happening? 

 " Carlos, you have to serve this, " Marlene said. " He wants to talk to you. " 

 " This isn't talking. " 

 " It's better. " 

 " No, I can't. " 

 " Yes, you can. " The voice was coming from all around him. " I can talk to you without it, but it would be more private if you would just touch the gel. Carlos, my brother, my friend, I know why you have come back. " 

 Mother look at Carlos askance. " You think you need me to distinguish what is veridical and what is not. " 

 " How do you know that? " 

 " It is a logical assumption since I can determine through SensaVision and you can't. Besides Makr is fully aware of what is happening. He's weakening, but you cannot stamp out Him no matter how hard you try. Makr's not the real problem. " 

 " How do you know so much? You've been there. "
