move. I’m not there yet.”
     
    “When this meeting is over, I want you to take it to Cassandra Dodd and let her see it. Perhaps it needs someone with psychic ability to make it work.”
     
    Einstein turned his head to the left, “I didn’t think of that.” He looked at Newton, “You’re right; they are smarter than us.”
     
    Destiny said, “Why do you say that, Einstein?”
     
    Edison and Einstein looked at Newton who looked around and said, “They didn’t think that King Gardner understood that I extended his life span but I told them he did.”
     
    Matt flinched and caught himself before he said anything. Sprig thought, “Uh, when did you extend his lifespan, Newton?”
     
    “You remember; I gave him the device to protect his ship and I told him I wanted him to live to see me grow up.”
     
    Sprig looked at Matt and he understood what he had missed. “Uh, Newton, I forgot to ask how long it was extended.”
     
    “Well, Melanie was on board when you used it the first time so both of you should live about one and a half million years.”
     
    Matt fought to keep his expression neutral. Then he heard Newton tell Edison, “I told you he knew.”
     
    “I agreed, Newton.”
     
    “Well, you didn’t initially.”
     
    Destiny was watching Matt and knew that the human really didn’t know until this moment. He sighed, “Newton is that process you used reversible?”
     
    “Probably, but why would anyone want it reversed?”
     
    “I was just thinking that we might want to use it on others that have a specific idea about how long they want to live.”
     
    The little spider tilted his head and shrugged.
     
    Matt looked at Destiny and shook his head. He sent a private thought, “I’ll discuss this later. I don’t want to put anything in his mind that would take away his focus on the coming task.”
     
    “I’m sorry, Your Majesty. Please remember they’re only children.”
     
    Then Matt had a thought break through, “Uh, Newton. Is the process genetic?”
     
    Newton smiled and said, “Absolutely, you pass it on to your children. I’m sure you want to see them grow up, too. Why do you ask?”
     
    Matt looked at Newton, “Most people don’t know but Melanie is expecting a child.”
     
    Everyone started congratulating Matt but something Einstein said to himself caught his immediate attention, “I wondered where that psychic field was coming from.”
     
    Matt said, “Einstein, what did you just say?”
     
    The little spider was looking at a device and he jumped when Matt called his name. “I have a device that can read the strength of psychic fields, which I used in working on the psychic drive. There is one here in the castle that appeared about six months ago and has been growing at a phenomenal rate.”
     
    “Show me what you mean.”
     
    “May I use the display?”
     
    “Go right ahead.”
     
    Einstein plugged his small device into the display and a picture of Castle Gardner’s layout appeared. “I can see any field in the galaxy I’m located but the last few trips here have allowed me to see the strong fields here. The blue circles are the psychic fields in the castle. The one right here is yours, Your Majesty. Notice how it is light blue. Your field is the strongest here, or it was.”
     
    Sprig looked at the display and said, “This must be the former King and Queen.”
     
    “You’re right.”
     
    “This smaller one over here must be Anglo Gardner’s field.”
     
    “Right again.”
     
    Sprig looked at the display, “What is this black circle?”
     
    Einstein shrugged, “That is the one I’ve been having trouble identifying. It must be Melanie’s baby.”
     
    “Why is that circle black?”
     
    “Oh, I needed some way to measure the strength of fields so I used colors. That field is actually violet.”
     
    Sprig looked at the display and said, “Einstein, that circle is black.”
     
    “Not really, let’s look at it this way.” Einstein made an
