She demonstrated for Stonedragon and the panel of Thunderbase the range of those powers that were back again.
Then she and Mickey outlined their plan.
“If she can actually pass through the solid outer shell, can she defuse the device?” the boy asked.
“Its programming would be such that even that might not be enough,” said Barry Judge, known as “The Blaster” for his ability to focus massive amounts of energy towards any solid objects and cause them to explode, “The circuits are not wired, they are direct electrical transmission. Like contained lightning jumping from the device to the transmission stations without any interruption.”
Maria and Mickey held their own council and then Maria turned to the council.
“If the device was taken from the containment, and taken far enough away, could that do the same thing as defusing?” She posed.
The panel now held council.
“We think that might work, but how could that be done? Once the device was gone from it’s security containment it would begin the countdown to firing. How could it be done?”
“If The Blaster,” Mickey said, “Could open a passage to the sky from the room in which the system is housed it could be made unsubstantial long enough for it to be flown straight up to near orbital height. If it explodes,” The boy took his mother’s hand, “No one is more able to handle that.”
The panel began to talk again.
“We don’t have a lot of time to discuss this sort of thing,” David demanded.
Without further talk, the entire group left the center and trekked to the security center.
Desperate as it might be, it was at least a chance, and that was more than they had when they started the day. Mickey knew, when all is said and done, there is no greater super power than hope. © 2005 by C. Wayne Owens
