They laughed at me.
"Vital signs have stabilized, my lord."
They laughed, oh yes they laughed.
"What is the purpose in creating this... this..."

Am I dead?
"Psychic fluctuations detected, my lord. Shield strength has been increased to maximum."
"What power!"
Power?
What about power? What can I do with power?
Oh, the possibilities.
Power...
"... pressure gauges read normal. Power yield has improved by seventy percent."
