Shemetar, The Dalagent System, Eighty-Six Light Years from Asocar, The Asocan Realm

On the thirty-ninth planet of the Asocan Realm, Martte Unaayel was waiting patiently for her subordinate. She came sometime after she was expected but she came bearing excellent news.

"I have finally contacted the people that we are looking for, Martte Unaayel," Imbuff Mutt Shemet said with a low bow.

"Excellent. What have they asked for?" Unaayel demanded.

"Legitimacy, and of course, funds," Imbuff advised her. "I believe that legitimacy will bring them a long way into our fold, Martte Unaayel."

"They shall become the vanguard of my new fleet," Unaayel growled in pleasure. "That will give them all the legitimacy they will need! The Asocar Beerlen will regret having passed over me for Asoc."

The feral grin that Unaayel provided at that statement sent a shiver up the spine of Imbuff. She was, however, now fully committed to Unaayel and her schemes.

Second Day of the Interspecies Summit, Denders Resort, South-West Coast of North America, Terra, The Sol System

News of what Junelliya had done had flashed through the resort. There were over 2,000 members of the Council of Empaths from Hollander's World and another three hundred that had been on Terra and other locations who had come to Denders on their own. They had been shocked when they had learned of the events of the day before.

As well, many members of the curious public wanted to be present for the disciplinary hearings. Included in this group were the leaders of the eleven other races and the Maha-Rrin. They needed to see for themselves if the empaths and telepaths could police their own.

"I had wanted this to be a private disciplinary hearing," Petronellaya said casually to her friend, Elliya, the next morning.

"What we want and what we get are not always the same thing," Elliya replied. "In this case, there is too much interest in these cases not to have an open hearing and this will also be the very first time that the Order of Telepaths conducts a disciplinary hearing of one of their own outside of Toolend space."

Petronellaya nodded her head, acknowledging the reality of things, even if she did not like it. The pair moved to the theatre, the only place at the resort large enough to hold all of the expected viewers. They only had the morning in which to hold both hearings. Fortunately, Council disciplinary hearings were swift.

The stage had been set up with two desks raised above the others, one with a chair for Petronellaya, and one with no chair for Fordrat, the Senior Elder of the Order of Telepaths.

Some fifty Councillors of the Council of Empaths and an equal number of Elders of the Order of Telepaths, crossed the stage to greet their respective leader and to make themselves known to their counterparts in the other organization. They found where their own desks were and seated themselves or stood behind them as appropriate.

People began to come into the theater until it was filled. At 09:00 hours, Petronellaya nodded to Fordrat and banged her gavel to bring the hearing to order.

"This is an unprecedented event, so I will ask the indulgence of all who are attending. There will be two disciplinary hearings. The first will be by the Council of Empaths, looking into the case of one William Chartrin, also known as Chartrinyea.

"The second will be a combined disciplinary hearing of the Council of Empaths and the Order of Telepaths for the case against Dame Junelliya Atohan Herlan." Petronellaya nodded to Cnslr. Mertanyea, who was acting as the Bench Clerk for the hearing. He rose, moving to his designated spot on the floor before the stage and began to speak.

"We will begin with the case against Willian Chartrin, also known as Chartrinyea. Chartrinyea and guardians, step forward," Mertanyea called out. The family came forward and stood where Mertanyea indicated.

"William Chartrin, also known as Chartrinyea, you are accused of committing a Compulsion on or around 13:45 hours, the eighth day of June 2487, against three female Ordinary Members of the Council of Empaths, specifically Millaya, Amellaya, and Parianya, in which you compelled the three empaths to remove their bikini tops for your sexual gratification.

"You are also accused of attempting to commit the same Compulsion on or around 14:10 hours that same day, against two non members of the Council, one Guinevere Soulange, a potential member of the Order of Telepaths, and one Grace Elizabeth Holloway, the daughter of President Wilford J. Holloway, the President of the Union.

"As this compulsion was used for your sexual gratification, it is classified as Mind Rape. Because you are underage, no plea can be requested.

"The Councillors will note that this is the fourth case of misuse of abilities that has been brought against Chartrinyea in a disciplinary hearing. In the three other cases, he was found guilty and faced required actions to amend his attitude."

Petronellaya rose. "Chartrinyea, you have been instructed on numerous occasions to amend your attitude to the misuse of your power. On the last occasion, we had indicated that we would not be so lenient against you should you be brought up before another Disciplinary Hearing.

"Now, because of the level of the transgression and against whom you have placed a Compulsion, we have no choice but to bring about a far more serious disciplinary action.

"Compulsion for sexual gratification is considered an act of Mind Rape and is a serious charge against an Empath. It carries serious jail time as a punishment. However, another punishment has been applied against you, one which I believe is far more appropriate for your case." Petronellaya sat down and nodded to Mertanyea.

"The Councillors call forward the witnesses: Dr. Maya GME, Psychologist working at the Liramor-23 Hospital. Dr. Heyya GME, Chief of the Trauma Ward at the Liramor-23 Hospital. Violletiya GME, bodyguard for Dame Hanalei Anar. Tougrate, a First Medical Officer of the Toolend working at the Liramor-23 Hospital and Member of the Order of Telepaths. Malnad, a Third Medical Officer of the Toolend also employed at the Liramor-23 Hospital and Member of the Order of Telepaths. Please note that a First Medical Officer is what we would describe as a senior level medical doctor, while a Third Medical Officer refers to a senior nurse, the equivalent of a Nurse Practitioner."

The four stepped forward and stood where Mertanyea placed them.

"The victims in this case are Amellaya, Millaya, and Parianya, all three seventeen years of age and members of the Council of Empaths, recent graduates of their respective Crushes. Guinevere Soulange, a potential member of the Order of Telepaths and fourteen years of age. Grace Elizabeth Holloway, daughter of the President of the Union and sixteen years of age.

"Amellaya, please step into the witness box. In your own words, please tell the Councillors what happened yesterday.

"My friends and I had just met the guy who we at first thought was really cool. He was our age but he was really powerful. We went with him along the beach and we noted the many women who were topless. I suddenly decided to remove my top. I had never done that in a public setting before so it was a little odd to me that I did. However, I thought nothing of it and just did it, even though my mind was saying something else.

"We met two other teens on the beach, one we thought was another empath but she didn't seem to respond to our mental touch. She did smile at us so that we knew we had touched her. She gave her name as Guinevere and the other as Grace.

"We were moving along and suddenly Guinevere turned and slapped William hard. As soon as she did, I felt the change in my mind. William had laid a compulsion on the three of us and was actively suppressing our conscience. The slap from Guinevere broke his active suppression, allowing us to react as we should. We were not happy with the guy we initially thought of as 'cool'.

"That concludes my witness, sir."

"Do you, Millaya, and Parianya, agree with the statement made by Amellaya or do you have anything additional to add to this statement?" Petronellaya asked of the other two. They asserted that they agreed with the statement and had nothing further to add to it.

"Guinevere Soulange, please step into the witness box." Mertanyea ordered. "In your own words, please tell the Councillors what happened yesterday."

"I was walking on the beach with my friend, Grace..."

"The Councillors will note that Guinevere Soulange is referring to Grace Elizabeth Holloway," Mertanyea interrupted. "Please continue," he ordered Guinevere.

"I thought I was speaking in my own words?" Guinevere asked, looking angrily at Councillor Mertanyea. A laugh went through the watching crowd.

"You are requested to use your own words, Guinevere, but the Councillors need to understand what those words are referring to. In the witness from Amellaya, she did not know your family names so repeated the names she knew you by," Petronellaya gently advised the young teen.

"Ah, I understand. Sorry, Cnslr. Mertanyea. I shall continue...

"Grace Holloway and I were walking on the beach with the accused, William, and also with Amellaya, Millaya, and Parianya, whom we had met not long before near the beach.

"I noted that though there were plenty of women on the beach who were topless, Amellaya and Parianya, seemed to be feeling at odds with being on display. That seemed odd to me but I thought nothing of it at the time."

One of the Councillors rose.

"Yes, Cnslr. Hetyea?" Petronellaya asked.

"You said that the two you mentioned seemed to be at odds with their display. Can you expand on that a little further?" Hetyea demanded.

"Yes, I am a telepath in training. The Toolend explain telepathy as seeing with the mind. Our eyes cannot not see things, they are constantly scanning, seeing things as we move along. If we want to look more closely, we have to focus on what we are looking at. The same is true of a telepath.

"We telepaths are constantly reading the surface level of the minds around us. We cannot help it. It is there for us to see in much the same way that our eyes see things that we quickly scan.

"Unless they actively suppress these thoughts, all sentients are subconsciously broadcasting things like who we are, what we are currently doing, and what our minds are currently focused on.

"A telepath reads these things in much the same way as our eyes see things. If a telepath wants to look more closely, we must focus our minds on the subject. However, at this point, we need permission to look deeper than the surface as this means delving into the mind of the subject.

"I noted that both of the girls seemed at odds with their exposure. But they were topless so I put that out of my mind and continued to walk as their minds did not seem to be actively fixed on this issue. Does that answer your query, Cnslr. Hetyea?" Guinevere asked.

"It does, thank-you." Hetyea nodded for Guinevere to continue.

"As we were walking along, I felt something at the back of my mind. It seemed to be telling me to remove my top. I noticed that Grace was looking around, and I figured that she must have felt the same thing. I blocked the attempt from both of our minds, only to have the same feeling come back a little stronger.

"This time, I had to actively block the attempt but now I was aware that someone was trying to get both of us to remove our tops. I thought that the person responsible would be smart enough to back off after failing the second time, but they came back with some real power behind what I now know was a Compulsion.

"This time I had to work very hard to block this action but I also found the source. I was surprised to find that it was none other than our supposed new friend, William.

"I turned on him and slapped him hard. I left the mark on the left side of his face," Guinevere stated, pointing to William's face, the mark from her hand still visible.

"That's when Grace's security team came in and placed William temporarily under arrest.

"At this point, both Amellaya and Parianya seemed to realize that they had been under a compulsion and covered their breasts with their hands. They were not very happy with William. Nor was Millaya, who I learned had been under the same compulsion, but who was more open to her partial state of nudity than were the other two.

"Then GME Violletiya showed up and gave William permission to send out a Summons. I had never been subjected to a Summons before. While I couldn't personally answer it, I could 'see' all those that did. It was a unique experience, especially with the number of powerful empaths who answered it." That got a brief giggle from the crowd of Empaths.

"This concludes my witness, sir."

"Thank-you. Are there any questions for Ms. Soulange from the Councillors?" Mertanyea asked. Getting none, he asked Guinevere to stand down.

"Grace Elizabeth Holloway, please step into the witness box." Mertanyea ordered. "In your own words, describe the events you were involved with yesterday."

"As Guinevere said, we had met the foursome of young teens of William, Millaya, Amellaya, and Parianya about twenty minutes before things happened. I am not as attuned to people as Telepaths or Empaths are, however, I have been reading people all my life.

"Guinevere is right, Amellaya, and Parianya did seem a little out of sorts, but I could not place why they were, so let it slide.

"As we were walking along, I felt like I should take my top off. The feeling was such that it felt like my own mind was telling me to do this. This is not like me. I mean, I am not a prude, however, my father being who he is, it would not be appropriate for me to wander around topless for the media to catch.

"Just as suddenly, the feeling went away and Guinevere indicated with a hand motion that something was going on. A moment later, the same feeling came back, this time a little stronger.

"Guinevere nodded to me and I realized that someone was playing mind games with us. I also realized that Guinevere had also blocked this second attempt. I sent a hand signal to my security team who closed in a little around us.

"The third time the feeling came back, there was some power behind it and I was positive now that it was not my mind but someone else's mind that was trying to place this compulsion on me. I have been trained how to block empaths and telepaths from getting into my mind, so I resorted to my training to block whoever it was.

"I think that not having to protect me allowed Guinevere to actively work against the person. She turned around, went directly to William and slapped him. Almost immediately, the three girls he was with suddenly turned on him, two of them hiding their breasts. This told me that William had likely sent this same compulsion to them earlier and explained to me why the three had seemed out of sorts.

"That is when my security team came in and arrested William. Then Violletiya showed up." She indicated that she had finished her testimony.

"Do the Councillors have any questions for Ms. Holloway?" Mertanyea demanded. When no one rose, he nodded to Grace, thanking her for her time.

"GME Violletiya, step into the witness box." Mertanyea ordered. "Tell us in your own words what you witnessed."

"I was sitting up on the beach with several other empaths, most notably, GME Clarrisiya, Cnslr. Petronellaya, Cnslr. Elliya, and Dame Junelliya Atohan Herlan, when I felt the pulse from the third attempt at William's Compulsion. I recognized the power signature immediately as I have dealt with William before.

"Clarrisiya stated that 'she knew that power signature' as did Petronellaya, who did not look pleased. Knowing that Petronellaya might be requested to hold a disciplinary hearing, I offered to come down to the beach and find out what was going on.

"I found William under arrest with five rather angry young ladies standing around him. Grace Holloway rather testily informed me of what William had attempted. I informed him that he could be charged with Mind Rape. That got his attention.

"I told him that he was not the powerhouse that he believed he was and gave him permission to conduct a summons. He was surprised to find so many Councillors on or near the beach. Then, Junelliya sent out her response to the summons. Her power slammed through everyone on the beach and truly surprised William.

"Cnslr. Petronellaya, Cnslr. Elliya, GME Clarrisiya, Dame Hanalei Anar, Dame Junelliya Herlan, and their two children, Ikekia, and Zarrenia showed up at the same time as William's parents: Doriliyea and Galliya Chartrin. That is when the two children decided to answer the summons and surprise everyone on the beach.

"Petronellaya than gave William a lengthy speech, telling him that his situation was no longer under Council of Empath's control. Then Junelliya stepped in. She touched William's head and a few moments later he began to panic and fell to the sand. Junelliya said she had blocked his ability to access his powers. She said that a man as young as William, going to jail for thirty to fifty years was a not an ideal situation.

"At this point, Dr. Maya, and Dr. Heyya, along with two nurses moved William to the clinic to look at what had been done to him.

"Petronellaya addressed Junelliya, telling her that she had gone too far and that she would answer to a disciplinary hearing. That ends my witness."

"Thank-you Violletiya. Are there any questions for the witness?" Mertanyea demanded. There were none.

"Dr. Maya please step into the witness box." Mertanyea ordered. "In your own words, please tell us what you witnessed.

"I was with Dr. Heyya on the beach. We had just come from an inspection of the new clinic. As a medical doctor with experience with other races, we were expected to be part of the familiarization of the clinic in case we were ever needed.
