It was fairly interesting, the giant being in space... The eyes touching the outer edges of its mind... They didn´t know whose mind it was... Well, they would find out soon... probably. They didn`t have to rush things.
Then news came in...
Mars... Melkor...
And the superiors decided that it was time to take revenge.
And the key to this revenge... could be that giant rock in space, Orm Embar...
The Eyes, seven of them on earth (six smaller and one larger one) are interesting... beings. Controlled by a prepared human, they are more than that, their own, free will overwhelming the human, becoming giant, willing servants. They are basically giant defence grids, covering the entire nation and it`s islands around the world...
Their main function, however, is working as giant telepathic amplifiers. Usually to organise traffic in orbit and other such things... To connect with the satellite grid, and god alone knows what other kinds of stuff they do.
However, right now, they were going to do something different... The Eyes were given free choice on what they would do, it just had to be successful...
Other ressources, ships, satellites, the Kopernikus station would be at their service... connections were established, linking the minds together, uniting them in their struggle.
Finally, the eyes reached out. Of course, they didn`t know what would wait for them... And the tower on Mars had been inanimate... Perhaps this would be inanimate as well?
They didn´t know. They couldn´t know. Couldn´t know what would wait for them...
And again, they touched its mind, teasingly, threatening attacks without attacking... One would have to see what reactions would come out of it.

"So... what can we do?" The man standing at the window looked at someone else, someone not clearly visible.
"To be honest... No idea. We will have to see." A voice in the shadows covering the edges of the room answered. "The eyes are incapable of launching psi attacks. They can merely try to get this... thing to establish a connection, by which we can infect it. Of course..." He hesitated, stepping out of the shadows. It was a fairly young man, perhaps in the midst of this thirties, with short, black hair. "We can use our other assets... the Kopernikus station, or our ships, to stage direct attacks. But from what we have witnessed regarding its strength... I doubt it would be successful. sneaking in is probably the easiest way to do it."
"I see." The other man frowned, and looked out of the window... In fact, he looked through a telescope. There is saturn... damn ringworld, now all the natural rings of saturn are gone. Looked so nice, before it was there... He cursed, and moved the telescope. Orm Embar...
"Well... I assume there isn`t much we can do now, is there?" He continued, asking.
"Not really. We will have to see how we can work with Kalessin`s stuff. It is basically unknown to us. Sort of experimental. But on the positive side: They will have the same problem."
"Indeed..." He looked... calm. "Well, only future will tell us."
