with the rest of the Colonists. I want to bring them all back with me but they choose to remain here. To them, this is freedom. I don’t want to take that away. But they don’t have as many options for mating if they don’t interact with the other Colonists.” Lola looked at Lizzie so she could read her lips. Lizzie couldn’t sign with her hands full.
    “It will be good for them. ZenIM deserves to find someone to make him happy.” The two women followed the village women and few children to the building that had been converted into a school. She glanced back quickly in the direction the men took. She wasn’t looking for the Kiljorn Commander, she wasn’t. At least that’s what she kept telling herself. Lizzie was grateful to have a distraction from her wayward thoughts of TylOR.
     

Chapter Five
     
    “What news do you have of the Morins?” ZenIM asked Leader LarIS as they were unloading the supplies and placing them on a rolling track that would be pulled up to the village.
    “Nothing new. One transport went through the wormhole and another remained on this side. Both have somehow fell off our radar and we have been unable to discover their locations.”
    “Only two left?”
    “Two that we know of. There could be more.”
    “Will you continue the search?” ZenIM asked.
    “I will be leaving to go back through the wormhole after I drop off the Kiljorn citizens back on Kiljor,” AshOR told him.
    “I too will be taking a Kiljorn transport through the wormhole. Prime Commander ConEL will command one of several Katieran transports that will remain on this side of the wormhole to protect it and to continue searching for the second transport,” TylOR explained.
    “But surely they must have more than two transports,” ZenIM asked.
    “Unfortunately we don’t have an actual number. None of the Morins thus far that we have captured have revealed anything. ConEL only knew of a handful while he was a prisoner. If there are more out there, we have not been able to detect them.” LarIS dropped a box on the rolling cart. He hated that he had to reveal something like this. “But we have other disturbing news to relay.”
    ZenIM stopped what he was doing to stare at the serious expression on Leader LarIS’ face. “What news?”
    “Leader RendEL has had reports of a Purist rebel group wanting to overthrow the current leadership.” LarIS probed ZenIM to make sure that he was not aware of the rebels.
    “What rebels? Who are they?” ZenIM became tense with suspicion.
    “Leader RendEL received reports of disputes arising from some of the mining colonies over bringing the Earth females to Katiera and mixing the races. He was sent warnings to remove the alien infection from the Katieran home world. The Purists believe the Katieran bloodlines are being tainted. It has escalated to a revolt. Their leader, OrIN, is claiming to be a descendant of the original Primes of Katiera and he believes that he should be Prime Leader.”
    “Do you believe we have Purists here on the Colony?” ZenIM was insulted.
    LarIS sighed. “We do not know. There may be friends or family among us who may share this irrational belief. I feel like I look at everyone with suspicion since I found out about the threat. I do not like this feeling of distrust.”
    TylOR spoke up, “It is a growing threat among all four nations, including Earth. We must all come together so we can control the revolt before it becomes a civil war.”
    “What is a civil war?” ZenIM was confused.
    “It is an Earth term meaning that we fight amongst ourselves, with our own people,” LarIS explained.
    “Are you asking me to betray my people by spying on them?” ZenIM refused to do this.
    “I just ask that you keep your eyes and ears open. If there is someone who speaks like a Purist, let me know of it. I can easily read their minds and determine their intent if I am close to them.” LarIS picked up the last box off the shuttle and placed it on the cart. He
