Free Prophecy by Paula Bradley

All combined threw a psychic ‘blanket,’ a blockage of ability, over the planet.
    “This be a condition intolerable to Anorasians. We fear disruption in psychic connections as much as humans fear loss of vision.
    “It took nearly two thousand years to complete construction of this laboratory, for we did not wish to arouse suspicions by requisitioning large amounts of construction androids and material. Standing one half mile in height with a radius of one mile and a circumference of three, it is a testimony to patience and persistence.”

Chapter 12
    Aleris stood, eager to take up the tale. With a bow and a nod, Sateron graciously relinquished the audience.
    “We collected specimens from all forms of life on Earth,” Aleris said in a calm and neutral voice that fooled no one. “We manipulated DNA codes and produced new species. Also, to our amazement, we discovered fifty percent of these new species resembled those common to Hakilam. Although we knew that dicit - E was not the source of dicit - H, nevertheless did we begin to realize that somehow, Earth had direct ties to Hakilam.” The Anorasian continued now in a voice filled with undisguised delight.
    “It was our junior geologist, Maka’rius, who made the discovery which solidified our assumptions. From his personal transport vehicle, he performed low resolution scans of magnetic fields near Earth in search of deviations. He dropped altitude, completing his investigation with higher resolution scans, using the same instruments that measure minute fluctuations in a planet’s geomagnetic fields. In the northern hemisphere, Maka’rius found a crater in a body of water that measured one hundred and fifty miles in diameter: he thought it evidence of a tremendous meteorite impact. Into the crater he teleported a Particle Survey Device, which began to sample the layers of rock one thousand feet deep into the cavity. His laboratory instrumentation confirmed his supposition: the presence of iridium and chondrules left no doubt it was a meteorite, and the crust analysis proved that impact had occurred approximately sixty-five million years in the past.”
    Fascinated, the humans watched the aliens psychically flash triumph between them. All were now on their feet, even the sedate and placid Siddhartha.
    “Ton Re’Deutriion, he who was Master to Maka’rius and another ally, conducted the geological investigation of Izorach. The canyons captivated his interest as no other project had done for centuries. Maka’rius was most eager to accompany his Master, but Deutriion would conduct this experiment alone. He knew the psychic disruptions would be easier for him to manage than for his young apprentice.” Aleris’ voice quavered. All manner of recitation mode was gone with the increased excitement.
    “It was there he found two anomalies that solidified our goal: two discoveries that opened the first of many portals.”
    Aleris paused, noting that Sateron fairly burst with the need to speak. With a smile, he took up the telling, his voice filled with expectancy.
    “Deutriion found irrefutable evidence that a colossal meteorite shower occurred on Izorach at the precise same time as did on Earth. Spectral analysis proved that the meteorites were made of the same material, but the impact on Izorach was more devastating, creating craters over seven miles wide. Coincidence? Never! The odds would be incalculable. Here was evidence both planets were intentionally destroyed, an atrocity perpetrated by a government bent on committing genocide.
    “Our colleague then found one-cell fossil remains imbedded in strata five hundred feet below bedrock in the Agrist K’anna—with DNA codes matching dicit - E by ninety-nine point six percent and dicit - Hby ninety-eight point eight percent!” Feet braced apart, Sateron’s breath quickened as his chest expanded and his fist punched the air.
    “ Now have we substantiation that the source prime for both the Hakilam
