We're here, God alone knows where the Gate tribe is, and the Illuminated Ones are safely wherever the hell they wanted to be.

Their minds worked in perverse manners, and the Illuminated Ones are nothing less than descendants of that foul breed.

But things had been different when they had tried to bring up the matter of the Illuminated Ones.

The wags offered little protection against the laser blasters, and the Illuminated Ones advanced on the wags with an air of confidence about them.

We can't let the Illuminated Ones know we're in the area," Ryan reminded them.

Advancing quickly, choosing those two who wavered in directing their fire and so presented the least threat, the Illuminated Ones used the butts of their rifles to drive the two men into the ground.
