 surprise than anything else.  He was able to build up a wall to keep most of it out of his mind, but it was still there, nagging away at that wall.</span></p>

 It moved from sadness to confusion.  It was as if someone were explaining something that he just could not understand, simply because he did not have the experience.  Temas tried to find the source of the feelings but they were outside of the ship, and a distance
 enough away that he could not easily find it without opening his mind to an uncomfortable level.  </span></p>
