"Prem creates monsters, and monstrous
situations. He is the personification of human greed, arrogance,
fear, death, madness and just about every negative emotion there is.
He brought so much misery, death, destruction and trauma to the world, that just the mere mention of his name twenty-years later
brings anxiety to all on Axia Station."
“Rowan Hanso made the decision to
create a super-seed. He accelerated the evolution of the seed, and
placed it into a host designed to receive it. The host was Prem.”
“What was Prem good at?” I asked
curiously.
Irea's mouth folded in a line. “He
was good at everything. Telepathy, teleportation, kinetics,
metamorphing. His specialty seemed to be transmutation. The only
thing he couldn't do was to tell the future. Therefore he was
obsessed with it.”
“We couldn't keep up with him. No
boundary was too much for him. His teleportation was too powerful.
He could move himself from every barrier. He wouldn't be contained.
He could leap from place to place inside the Station. He came and
went where he pleased. Besides from being just an experiment, he
became involved in our work. He stopped being the experiment and
started being the psientist. He made us all his test subjects in sick and twisted experiments. And there was little we could do about
it."
“The situation got out of control
very quickly. His obsession with the future became all he could
think about. Strange events began to occur on the Station, fractures in space. We began to suspect Prem had an ability to jump
timelines. We knew we had to contain him. But how do you contain
something that won't be restrained in any way?”
“Prem started changing. When his
seed became activated, we knew he was powerful. But we didn't
realize how devastating he could be. Or could want to be. Geneva
are intelligent beings. We knew that from the beginning. We thought
that meant we could reason with geneva and communicate on the same
levels of understanding. But this is impossible when you have beings
so powerful with so little life experience and with very strong egos."
Prem's primary ability was
transmutation. He could make anything become anything he wished. He
was so good at it that he shouldn't exist. The fabric of space-time
would ripple in every space he inhabited. He would break the world
if he continued to be alive and if his seed continued to activate.
He could change everything fundamentally about the way humans
experience existence. So we decided to kill him. Rowan Hanso
decided to go to war against Prem."
“It didn't turn
out well. Prem opened a gate to Hell. It still drives me mad how
casually he did it. He brought so much ruin upon the Station that
it's only a miracle that it's still here. The exposure to so much
psin radiation took my youth and beauty from me. I wilted in the
face of all that black terror. We all did. But at least we finally contained the problem. Nobody outside of Axia Station even knows what happened."
