Krysylys: (UP) THE REVOLUTION (Part 2) July 6/86 Karl Rigelhof

Several of the technicians and scientists are also involved or become involved with this underground society with one technician, Jezery, masterminding the entire operation. Jezery is an electronics technician who is working on a part of the project to improve the computer programming functions to be more respondent to emergency situations in the mines to insure minimal loss of krystyl and maintain maximum telepathic control over the workers while the waves of anti-telepathic krystyl `resonance' disrupt the computer telepathic fields. The problem of control is one of accuracy and anticipation of programming modes and having a certain `intuitive' feel for the computer keyboard entry devices. It requires an experienced and inventive operator/programmer to handle crisis situations and to also maintain a smooth running operation during standard conditions. Jezery is brilliant on the `keyboard' and is unrecognized by his superiors for his useful talents which mostly involve the savior of human life (as well as krystyl) during a `crack up'. One of the high maestros on a visit of some importance had a chance to view Jezery's talents during a cave-in and was delighted by the lad's dexterity and virtuosity and invites him to perform at the maestros' concert that evening.

The upper echelon of the tech society had gathered for the concert and were shocked and overwhelmed at the intensity of Jezery's "Music of the Mass(es)". The Maestro, Rzah, was ecstatic and complemented Jezery in almost approaching his brilliance and invites Jezery for some private lessons as his new protege. The Maestro's present protege, Shale, is of course humiliated and infuriated by this outrage and vows retribution against both Jezery and the Maestro for inflicting this public shame upon him (Shale played the first part of the concert with a special piece he had written and dedicated to his `inspiration and mentor "The Grand Maestro"' which the Maestro liked the least of the two pieces performed that evening and of course animately voiced his opinion publicly).

While visiting with the Maestro, Jezery meets and falls in love with one of the Maestro's service maids whom he calls Jade because of her sparkling green eyes (her real name is Three which is the last digit of her worker number). Jade is very beautiful and fragile (of course) and the Maestro treasures her as one of his `prized possessions' and treats her with a little less contempt than he feels for most of his servants since she is not under the influence of the "Portal Link" or the krystyl and has some intelligence and vitality (and her own free will). Jezery convinces her to aid in his `cause' even though she is unaware of the Maestro's cruelty and excesses and has led a sheltered life under his benevolent care, reverence, and guidance. But little does she realize that he is `saving' her to `ripen' and then he will `pluck' her from her tree of sheltered security and cast her into the terror of his ultimate cruelty in his own private ritual to "The Creator" of his power and wealth: the computer "Brain" where he shares (in) the communion of his power "The Nektyr of Life" fresh from the body of a young delicious virgin (and Jezery must save her from this tragic fate). She agrees to supply information concerning the Maestro's moves and manipulations and to warn of any developments in the search for the rebel hideout.
