"Hey Rafe," he changed the subject. " I really need to talk to you about something. Remember when I tried building my base camp on the lake and it was destroyed by those rogues? Do you remember that abandoned gathering spot I told you about?"




"Yeah, what about it. I hope you haven't been snooping around there."




"I think Sarah's mother is buried there and two older brothers that she doesn't even know about. I also think it's where my parents died."




"What!" Rafe exclaimed. "You'd better tell me what you are talking about."




For the first time Tobal told Rafe about his parents and how they had been the creators of the sanctuary program, how it had been first a social experiment and then a classified Federation project. He told how his uncle had been the military officer in charge of the program and how his parents had been found floating dead on the lake. He added the part about uncle Harry getting injured and closing down the project.




Then he went on to mention what Sarah's father had told him about knowing his parents and working on a classified matter transmission project and an even more secret project concerning bi-location and a shaman named Howling Wolf. He told how his parents and a small group including Sarah's father had been at a secret meeting when the entire village by the lake had been attacked and everyone massacred.



It had been right after that his parents were found dead and two surviving members of the secret group were hunted down and executed. Howling Wolf and Sarah's father were both members of the secret group that had survived along with a few children.
