The leader of what the press nicknamed the Psycho Psychologist seethed.    His plan for ruling Rillia from the shadows lay in ruins.  He kicked at a scantily dressed Azriange slave in chains near his feet.

 “Bring me Jaun Juice,”   Starm demanded of the nearest Dark priest under him.  

“My Shayon, My Shayon, such a shame at the loss.  Come play with the newest little Ilike.”  Came the crackling voice of Starm’s high guard as he laughed at the little Ilike girl who screamed in hunger as he held a piece of meat inches above her grasp in the small cage she was forced to squat in.   

“Not now, Terk.”  Starm inhaled the newest mind-enhancing drug, Jaun Juice, and looked over the research once more. He smiled coldly and laughed wildly. “Yes, yes, yes! " he screamed.  

“Now, what shall I wear to the new High General and High Amarial  Funeral?”  He jumped up and joined his High Guard in tormenting the Ilike slave.

“They are both well-guarded and mighty warriors, my Shayon.”  Cackled Terk, “And on alert for mind attacks.”  

“Not this one Terk.  No one will suspect an attack on their mind connection, and no one will know how to rescue them once their minds start tearing apart.”  He laughed and laughed.  He handed the forbidden file on the dark side of past mind mate research and the Jaun juice to the other dark priests to help perfect his plans.

Jareth walked to the library campus with his study group.  “I can’t believe she’s requiring a research paper on Multivariable Calculus and Vector Analysis uses and an actual example’s of equations attached for each use.”  Growled Jobed.

Jareth was about to respond when the headache hit hard.  “Aleck!” Jareth screamed and hit the ground with a thud.   

“Jareth! Jareth!  Come on man this isn’t funny.  Wake up.”  Jobed checked for a pulse.  

“Someone help!”

Soon a crowd gathered around the prince.

The med students looked him over.  “This isn’t good his pulse is really erratic.”

“What do we do now?” Murmurs came all around.  

Jobed grabbed Jareth phone “We call Aleck.”

Aleck made the way to her next class through the busy halls at the military academy.  The headache hit hard and she screamed Jareth’s name and hit the ground with a thud.  

The academy students gathered around her.  “High General,  Sir are you okay?”

“Her phone’s ringing.”

A student named Mel picked it up.  “Aleck’s phone.” “

“He is?  So is she.  Her pulse? Yes, erratic as well.”

“Obviously it’s a phyco psycologist attack King Zane warned us about.”  Mel said over the phone.

“Ok”  Said Jobed “Then let’s get unpredicatable.”

“Put it on speaker so we can all plan it then.”  Mel relied.

“Don’t you think we need to call an ambulance.”  Said a voice from the back.

“To predictable, Remember King Zane’s warned that the lead group of phyco Pycologyt was not caught yet and if anyone suspects an phyco psychologidst attack the best thing was to act unpredictably.”  Said Mel shaking his head

“Okay then how many med students do you guys have at the academy.”

“Hum, All the med students here raise your hand.  Major Callous your not a-“

“I teach it. It counts.  We’ll only include those with us here and now.  That give us five on this end.”

“How many on you end?”  Major Callous barked out

“Nine, including one teaching assistant.”

“Fine we have our medical team now.”   Replied Jobed.  “Now what?”

“Bring up their phone lists and use our phones to call the list and ask for help.”  Piped up a random voice.

   It wasn’t long before they got Zane.  “Their what?  What have you done so far.”

“Hold it just a second.”  Zane looked up in irritation as a soldier ran in and blurted.  “Sir the first scout ship has returned.  Sarah and Robert Morganson request permission to enter Rillian space.  Hold it a second Soldier.”

He returned to the phone call.  “You guy’s choose a safe haven for them and transport them there.  Keep it unpredictable and call me back when you’ve get them there.”  

He hung up and turned to the soldier.  “Not only give them permission but see that they are personally escorted to the palace.”

“Yes sir” The soldier marched swiftly out the day.

The students huddled together.

“Where is a safe spot we can keep them that is totally random?”

“ My house is about an hour drive from here.   It’s kind of a want to be farm on about two acers of land.”  

“Give us the address and we all take different routes to get there”.  

“Now how do we them.”  

“Put them in the back of a truck with different item thrown over them to hide them.  Have one of the medics hide next to them while monitoring their pulse.”  Came a suggestion from one of the teachers.

“That’s not the safest.”

“No but it is the most unpredictable.”  Said a one of the cadets.  He picked aleck up in his arms and headed to his truck.

Before Zane stood two of the top phycologists ever to grace Vandarian, Rillian or the Azriange worlds.  They were also Alecks parents.  Zane questioned them briefly without revealing anything about Aleck. It soon became obvious that in their grief believing all their children dead but one they volunteered to go as scouts to the Sharlakar worlds.

Zane needed their advice now on how to save the high admiral and general.  To add to the unpredictability of the game he decided to inform them of the problem without letting them know yet that one of the victims was their daughter at least for now.  

Sarah and Robert listened to King Zane inform them of the problem carefully.  “Sounds like the Psenopehns.  You are right unpredictability is important.   Also we know something of mind mates. You’re going to have to run tests to see if you can find other natural mind mates.   That is the only hope of waking them from the comma.  The crazier and weirder the kids get with their plans the better.  Especially since the Psenopehns sorely are lacking in the area of imagination.  But finding the mind mate is the key.  

“Have them invite random friends and family for the test.  Dr. Izzy Smaller has the equipment that you need for it let the students plan and figure out how to get it and you stay out King Zane.  They’ve already counted on your way of thinking and you taking charge so the most unpredictable thing you can to is hand over the charge and care of a bunch of college students of course and me and my husband who I think they believe to be dead.”  

The students called.  ”I’m staying out of this.  But we did have an unpredictable event happen here.  A scout came back with two top phycologist who names shall remain anonymous for now will take over directing from here.”  Zane handed the phone to the Morganson’s.  When they finished giving instructions to the student’s Zane made a motion with his hand to one of the servants.

“Karn, could you please help us get these two into our finest guest room and get them anything they want or need?”

“Yes your highness.”   

The servant turned and curtsied graciously “This way, please, sir and madam.”

Some medical students stayed behind to load up the medical supplies they would need from the hospital to stabilize the Admiral and the General while in the coma. The medical professors helped. They also decided to call up all the movie stars involved in the movie made with the general and invite them to the farm.  

The military students found Dr. Smaller and traveled to get him and his equipment.  Soon, they had the general and the admiral on life support on the little farm, with only the most trusted professors running tests to figure out why they were in a comma.  One college student ran at breakneck speed to her cousin’s campus.  Who could be more unpredictable than a girl whose life tended to unintentionally be so crazy that her friends teased and called her the goddess of chaos?
