George Blackwood (Star Chaser)

By Alex J. Anderson

George Blackwood (Star Chaser) Is a work of fiction created from my need to link real life events and turn them into stories that might just show why Campbell soldiers killed men of McDonalds in the Glen Coe Massacre and wondering where have Panthers gone and why? Are they extinct because humans have killed them off. I hoped they had found a safe place to live and then wondered is that place the hidden valley of the Clan McDonald, but if they are there, how did they get there and why have the McDonald Clan not made this known?

That made me think, what if Panthers were mentally strong they could influence our human minds to obey and forget ever meeting them and what but humans could endanger their safety?

That led me to create an extraterrestrial villain who fed on intelligence, who having emptied his own world of life, came here because of his need to survive. My only other question was to wonder how and why a single person might become aware of this extraordinary story and why has he not made the story public knowledge. I have taken on that task as a work of fiction that just might be credible enough to seem to answer all of those questions.
Feel free to read but remember this is purely fiction.

PROLOGUE

IT STIRRED AND felt a core-deep hunger so it explored its surroundings.

There was no hint of even the amoeba level of life form so it spread its mental net ever wider.

It scanned the overhead sky but, finally, it was forced to conclude it was the only living being on or above this world.

It recognised the truth and in mild self recrimination it thought, ‘How many worlds have I made lifeless? Now, once more I have eaten all there is. I must leave this world and seek out a new source of food.’

Though it bordered on starvation it was not so weak it couldn’t begin and as its decision made such sense it lifted off and drifted toward each new planet, bypassing all that showed little or no evidence of sentient life. On and on it travelled, scanning and failing to find a suitable source of food.

Finally its patience and decision was shown to be correct for its scanner caught and locked on to what had to be the strong mental call of a sentient mind. The message it heard showed that strong mind was gathering an unknown number of its own kind to come and be with it. It felt this was worth investigating and with minimal outlay of energy it changed its alignment to head for this new world.

Now that its journey had a target it scanned the world ahead more thoroughly.

It felt sure the sender was not a single being but two working together and many marginally weaker minds answered the call, from various and distant parts of their world.

It was ravenously hungry but it chided itself. ‘Go slow. Let them congregate there waiting to be taken.’

That tighter scan also showed an almost uncountable number of less able minds and so It felt this was going to be its new home for quite a while.

Its arrival went unnoticed.

To ensure it had a base of its own It controlled, called and consumed the villagers’ one at a time, none of which appeased its raging hunger but kept it from starvation while it waited for those beings with telepathy and hopefully telekinesis it knew were coming its way.

CHAPTER 1

AS MOST PANTHERS journeyed alone and had come long distances they fully expected to be led to that safe place by a telepathic command.

A single panther that had struggled long and hard to get to the place was less wary than he should have been.

Too late he saw this was not the sender that had called them to a safe place but something seeking his life.

Stood in the presence of a non-panther calling to him with a voice that was too strong to resist led him to become its first satisfying meal of the new world.

It was a very pleasing meal but it hardly made a dent in its ages-long hunger so It repeated its call and waited.

It knew sooner or later another victim would come but when it did that second attempt to feed was less successful because It attempted to feed on two adult panthers and a cub who had suffered less hardship on their journey.

They, being stronger and a family unit, were so united and protective of each other they were able to resist his call.

It was the male’s duty to protect his family but even as the male attacked he realised he would not be successful. He had sent the dam and cub to find the sender of the safe place message and told them to explain what they had encountered.

It quelled his panther rage, made him approach and surrender so It could feed but by the time It had, the dam and cub were out of his ‘zone of compulsion’ and were questing for panther help.

Panthers reacted quickly and put out a unified shield, so strong; they denied Its best efforts to breach their defence.

It had patience and knowledge that other stragglers could be fooled by his call and each new feed would make him stronger. It knew that sooner or later he would have the strength to break into their defences.

Though he hungered greatly, in his past there was only triumph and that was why he did not doubt his success, smugly, he relished the challenge they set him.

Each misled singleton made him stronger and as time meant next to nothing to him, he slowly chipped away at that still impenetrable shield, with patience and confidence.

In moments of doubt It reminded itself ‘I have never failed to empty a world of life.’

The panthers named him Star because they had no idea what this dangerous creature should be named but it came from the sky like a star and they were in no position to ask or go close enough to investigate it.

CHAPTER 2

THE BOLDEST OF the senior panthers had lived a long and happy life but his growing list of infirmities made him think. ‘Better I go out with pride. It would be right and proper, even if it kills me, to find out how Star is so able to quell our rage and force us to surrender to his call.’

Such knowledge felt worth dying for if the pack gained from it.

As panthers were free to come and go, he was not immediately missed until he sent back his findings as a new victim.

The pack immediately created an all-in mind block in the hope that it would help their relative break free but his surrender was too far gone and they heard how he saw his death was justified ‘for the good of the pack.’

Star had been over-confident. His new feed let the old one glimpse stray thoughts that gave panthers something of Star’s history. Those stray thoughts were to show human feeds were being more of an effort than they were worth, but the mental giants were worth coming to this world for.

The image the old panther received showed humans caused Star to reveal more of himself during their physical struggles and calls for help even as they caused Star to think humans were more trouble than that needed to absorb the much stronger panther sentience.

The old one did not know what these pieces of information meant but he felt they had to be worth knowing and should help the pack.

He beamed his finding forcefully into that mind-block and then said ‘I die for the good of the pack.’ It was agreed that though his message made little sense, it had
