Zetana The Disconnected

By Maria Pellegrini

The Universal Connection was the way in which knowledge flowed around the Mother Galaxy. It was a plasma that permeated everything. It gave and received knowledge almost unconsciously. Unfortunately the Connection within the planet Cloudio had been subverted by its governors who used it as a means of control to maintain their power. But Zetana, a young girl who grew up in Cloudio was living proof of the final bankruptcy of absolute control.

Then she added proudly with a louder voice:

"In Cloudio, however, we have a special Plasma which is better than the one used by other worlds that in fact are more primitive... although I
