We are still able to infect Humans with our blood.  Our blood is the stronger.  Humans have already become much the same as the Others and yet we are still able to infect them.  So consider.  What if we were able to infect the Others as easily as we infect Humans?  Think of the possibilities.”
    “Infect the Others?”  I asked slowly, thunderstruck.  “I have never even considered the possibility.  “Where did you get such an idea?”
    “It wasn't really my idea, I admit.”  Sonafi said.  “I do think it has a great amount of possibility, though.  Think if we could plant a colony within their midst!”
    “A fourth species with no potential ties to any of us?”  I asked, not sure I liked the idea, not sure what new terror that might not be unleashing on the Universe.  “More easily suggested than accomplished, I think, as well.”   I added.
    “I think that time is running out for us.  At some point we must attempt something.”  Sonafi said.  “Some of the younger generation made the suggestion.  They wanted to bring the idea to you, but I must admit, I did not think that would be a good idea.  I did not think that you would be agreeable.  But now, with what you have just said, I decided that maybe now is the time to mention it.  Maybe you are ready for such an idea.”
    “You meant to leave me out of the loop?”  I asked, astounded.
    “You're rooted in your old ways.”  Sonafi said simply.  “We did not know how you would greet this as a scientific theory.  You may not believe it, but the Community very much revolves around you.  You and what you think.  We were afraid that if you were against the idea, you would turn the entire Community against it, and there are a great many of us who want to do something, are tired of the incessant attacks.  Though there have been none for fourteen years, anywhere, we have reason to believe the lull may be over.  So we have devised this plan.”
    “You have a plan?”  I asked, further surprised.  I stopped to look at her.  The glow of the brilliant moonlight was bathing her face making her appear alabaster and slightly to glow.  Though direct sunlight would burn a Vampire, the visible light reflected by the moon did not.  Whatever the elemental particles were that the sun produced in its fusion process, that neither the Others nor Vampires could tolerate, could not be reflected by the surface of the moon.  They bored into it, possibly even all the way through it.  I did not know.  Even though dark hued, Sonafi still looked eerily undead in its ghastly glow, hence the legends that Vampires were not true, living beings.  “What plan have you hatched?”
    “We hope to capture and infect one of the Others.”  Sonafi said, bluntly ignoring my sarcasm.
    I didn't say anything for several long moments that I spent staring into the star-studded expanse of the firmament above.  Which of the stars above me were more than stars, I wondered?  They were still up there.  I have seen their ships many times.  More than just the occasions they had meant to be seen.  Their activity could almost be considered frenzied.  Constant.  Yet they went almost entirely unnoticed by Humans.
    Since there was nothing that could be done about it when they were noticed, Humans had come to a fait accompli acceptance of what could not be altered.  Humans were aware, but there was nothing they could do about it, so they denied it.  They blocked it out.  They were in massive denial.  They ignored what they could not affect.
    “I can think of nothing more dangerous.”  I said.  “Can you imagine what that may precipitate?”
    “It will depend on that individual ’s will to live.  If it reveals it has been infected or if it hides it from the rest of its comrades.”  Sonafi said, then added, almost imperceptibly; “What do we have to lose, if what you believe is true?  That soon we may not have a place to hide.”
    “I didn't say I think it's an
