<em>"Well met, Terran.  Have you an alias or shall I call you by your birth name?"</em>The words formed in Alexanders and Aquas mind alike and took on any sound they wished, there was nothing telling about the communication emotions wise.  It was melodic and flowing, much like Aqua's audible voice.<em>"I am known by the alias Ether.  We are laying over here till we can get back under way,"</em>Ether looked into Alexanders eyes deeply allowing him a good view of himself as well.  Only when Ether focuses on an individual can you see him very clearly at all.<br/><br/>Alexanders suit gave off various tasty waves of radiation, mainly in the form of the power unit in the chest of his suit.  It was a form of power that had been talked about extensively by his people, yet they had never figured out the right mix or equation to make it sustainable.  Ether took in all the readings he could from the distance of twenty paces which he closed soft and quietly.  He stops flowing or floating (its so hard to tell) at a comfortable distance of ten feet and 'speaks' again.<br/><br/><em>"My people have never found the right balance to sustain a cold fusion reaction, Terran, and we Hydrans know a good bit about the molecular world.  Maybe we can discuss it at your leisure?"</em>
