turning it into PSI. There was no evidence of it at this moment that he could find. Which of course was what had led him to the conclusion that humanity was the source of PSI in the universe.

      That just didn’t add up with the fact that PSI had been around much longer than he had initially thought. Which brought him back to needing more information. This time the information he needed was about the universe not him or his people. The problem being that he couldn’t gain that information in a Tempus Fugit field as he couldn’t really sense anything beyond the walls of the field. Even then what he could detect was moving at such a different pace that it was hard to understand.

      Jay decided he was gonna have to do this the old-fashioned way in real time. He dropped the field. Any second now the others would catch up to him, but he would be deep in meditation. He set aside enough of his mind to react if there was any danger but otherwise poured all of himself into scanning outward.

      His scans detected thought, life, PSI, analyzed objects, could discern heat, metal, and a wide variety of chemical compounds. When he pushed, he could see things down to a molecular level, maybe even an atomic level with effort. But there was another way to use his senses too. His precognitive senses allowed him to see the flows of time.

      Now he was going to try to use that in a new way. Jay began pouring energy into his scan and tried to trace flows of PSI not just in space, but in time. He tried to turn the page back to his sight and see how the PSI had been interacting here yesterday.

       He started to feel a splitting headache coming on but at least he didn’t get an A’skarnt warning about messing with the space time continuum. He pierced back further, and the pain increased again, but now he was seeing the flow of PSI in this area, two days before.

      The general amount had greatly decreased. That made sense though, as the humans hadn’t arrived at this leviathan yet. Then gritting his teeth, he turned the page back again and was now looking four days in the past. The flow had decreased even further, but there was still PSI everywhere.

      His fingernails dug into his palms as he pushed again and was now peering eight days back. The same system existed. He just couldn’t find a source for the PSI.

      Jay took a deep breath and pushed again. A bright white light of pain hit his head and he knew what a migraine must feel like. Still, he had to persevere, so he pushed again and again a dozen times.

      That part of his mind which was set aside for calculations determined he was now scanning almost ninety years back in time. More than that with each jump the breadth of his scan jumped. He was now scanning out for over thirty thousand miles.

      It all told him the same thing though. PSI had been here in this area. Yes, the concentration was much greater around the humans, but it had still been here. He needed to check back further.

      The problem was that his mind felt like it was being put through a meat grinder now. Then he thought about Intellect Fortress and he buried his mind inside it, hiding away from the pain so that he could push himself beyond his limits.

He was vaguely aware that he was now surrounded by his wives and fuses. He could feel their concern for him, but this was vital. He just knew it was. So, he did the Jay thing to do and pushed again.

      Rather than trying to widen his focus in space, he tried to focus more on moving back through time. Another dozen jumps back and thanks to the doubling effect he was now looking more than three hundred and sixty thousand years ago.

      The levels of PSI were low, but they were still present. Something was off though. He couldn’t explain it, but it seemed almost like PSI was dispersing from the area. Maybe there was a different source. Maybe it had been born here and he just needed to look back further.

      He doubled it again and although he knew he was screaming in pain, it was the pain of someone else. The sound that echoed in his ears might sound like his voice in agony, but he ignored it. And then again, he doubled it and then once more.

      Now almost three million years in the past and PSI was everywhere. There was a giant cluster of it. Millions and millions of points worth and it was slowly dissipating.

      Jay felt that he was close. He tried to push back further without doubling again. When he reached exactly three million years and seven days. There it was. A bright burst of PSI energy. It was hard to say if there was PSI before that but clearly something happened here a little more than three million years into the past.

      That was the last thought that Jay had though before he passed out as the strain overcame him. When he woke, he wasn’t sure exactly how long he had been out but realized that he was in his bed. Jessie was sitting next to him in a chair.

      Jay looked up at her vibrant blue hair, god she was beautiful. He must have been really knocked out for a while because all he could think about was how beautiful Jessie was. Not that she wasn’t but he was around beautiful women every moment of the day. It shouldn’t be affecting him like this.

      More than that, he realized how much he liked her. She was fun. Fun. The
