What may have looked like or was a manmade boat, but at least it floated, so "Teresa" an ( 2 ) others headed out on their new adventure, when they got there, they went to the last city they remembered existed, there was only ( 10 ) people left alive there, "Teresa" talked to them yet no one there knew who she was, they were all younger then ( 20 ) years old, the people there told "Teresa" that all the others, that had survived the hard rains, floods, and freezing temperatures, couldn't handle it so they moved ( 200 ) mikes to the north, where the weather there was better an this was about ( 3 ) years ago, so "Teresa" told them everything about themself, where they were at, then they left to the next continent, they did the same thing again an again, going to the 3rd, fourth, fifth, and sixth continent, on that continent she had left her creatures and her rocks, the people told "Teresa" that her lived with them for about ( 10 ) years, and little by litle they had died one at a time, but that the rocks had left ( 3 ) days after she had gone, the rocks went in the direction she did looking for her, but no one was sure for what reason that was still unknown, they guess that the rocks didn't find her, or couldn't get to her. so after visiting all the continents "Teresa" an the ( 2 ) others returned back home, and her daughter greeted an told her that she was pregnant, "Teresa" was very happy and started to make plans, to care for the new little ones that was soon to come. As the years went by the skies started to clear up little by little, more an more sun started to peek thru the dark mass, that seemed to hover over them, everyone was having babies, some new plants were starting to grow in places, more so where the sun hit more, the little ones were growing and so was the group of people, some small creatures started to come by, smaller mainly because they survived underground, in caves an underwater, but without the right amount of food or sunshine, their size was no longer huge for reasons unknown, and the rains had stopped for the time being, the ice was melting at different areas, during the daytime temperatures it was warmer, "Teresa" was very sick an dying, she told her son and daughter the same story, she was told about being there for their kids, and to keep looking toward the skies and the heavens, which to them it only means: (The skies as seen from "Earth", in which the Sun, Moon, and Stars Appear.) nothing more, nothing less, but it also meant to wait for our people to pick them up, Then "Teresa" Died, and the family mourned for her an they held a memorial service, everyone of her Desendance were there if not in body, in name, everyone named their kids after the people they admired like, "Zeus", "Mars", "Kappa Man", "Teresa", "Adam", "Eve", "Cougar", "Spider", "Venus", "Minerva", "Saturn", "Pluto", "Cobra", "Tiger", "Zebra", "Eden", "Adamus", "Hercules", "Mog", " pharos", "Athena", "Sun", "Sampson", "Conan", "Lioness", "Jupiter", and many more people names that they honored, over the next ( 100 ) years, life kept going on the way it went, when they first came onto the planet Earth. Another ( 100 ) years went by again, and the planet earth returned back to it's normal state, with a little rain every now an then yet alot more sun, the trees and plants were now getting back to giving fruits, vegetables, wheat, and grain, plus the group hunted animals for food, things was now beautiful for all the desendance from the people of "Tarth".

    Now back on "Exploration-5", as they approach their solar system of "Tarth", the first procedure is to make contact with the home planet, prior to getting any closier, due to the war with their neighboring galaxy. "Tiger" called the captain "sir, we are now in the "Com-Zone" for verification, your orders are sir", "Zeus" answered "send the coded message, and go to full stop until we get a reply !", "Tiger" answered "got you captain, switching over to "Foilujot" channel now, sending message and engines now show at full stop, Captain the message went out reading as follows: (1): It is kind of strange to be back home, after all these years away, This is "Exploration-5" we're asking for permission to enter Tarth's orbit. (2): It was not easy to get back here from our long Journey, but we're happy to be back home, and we can't wait to see all of you, and our families. (3): If there are any special instructions, please tell us the procedures, and in which course to proceed. (4): As we return, we are sad to inform you, that we lost alot of our crew members, to creatures that we encountered an other accidents, we only have a hand full of crew members left. (5): It is for security reasons, that I include our security number and password, It's security number ( 71201 ) password ( Earth-Pharos ), that completes our security clearance, Transmission over, that was the message captain", "Zeus" replied "Now we wait !!!", a few minutes went by, then an answer was recieved: "(1): We are happy to hear from you "Exploration-5", your security number ( 71201 ) is valid and excepted, your password ( Earth-Pharos ) is valid and it identify's your crew, proceed to vector ( 299-6 ) by (211-3 ), a security ship will make a visual Identification, and the ship will escort you in. (2): What is your crew compliment left ?, and what is the condition of your ship ?, Is there any visual damage ?. (3): Download your ship's Logs, and all information of your journey to a data chip, and bring it to the counsel for review, transmission over". "Tiger" told the captain "sir we recieved a response to our message, it doesn't look good, for one thing, the message was not coded with the password, and two it was not five paragraphs long, then three, I put in there that phony security number an phony password, they told us it was a good number an good password, they also want to know the condition of our ship ?, and how many crew members do we have left ?, then to top things off to proceed to vector ( 299-6 ) by ( 211-3 ) to be escorted by a security ship, so with all that "Mumbo-Jumbo", I put us behind the ( 5th ) planet heading towards ( 299-6 ) by ( 211-3 ), I replied to the message as follows : "(1): We understand message recieved. (2): We are heading to ( 299-6 ) by ( 211-3 ). (3): We have only five crew members left. (4): We are in a Landing Craft, with all of our systems working at ( 100% ), our main space "Exploration-5" ship, had an explosion in engine (room # 4), we had to auto-destruct her, so our enemies can't retrive her. (5): We have expired our food supplies, please have something on hand, for we are all really hungry. (6): We have two data chips, full of information of our complete journey, transmission over", that's what I sent back to them, now "sir", you have to take the landing craft, and go to the programmed coordinates, this is not part of our plans, but things changed "sir", and we're trying to make due with this plan as we go along", the captain answered "How could this be a better plan, then the one we planned earlier, the plan was to be in orbit around "Tarth", and if something went wrong you would land, and then pull us out with the extraction team", "Tiger" replied "Well captain, that was then, this is now !, we didn't plan on the following: (That if the message came back, without the code in it, we planned that if the people of "Tarth" didn't remember us, but they stated in the message that they do remember everything about us, then to top it off the message not being coded bugged me), one more thing I didn't mention "sir", when we entered our solar system, I updated our time clock an equipment, and it seems that our Home Planet "Tarth", has aged by well over ( 1,000 ) years, and yet they answered our message as thou, we just left yesterday and they excepted our phony codes, also the data in these two data chips, that I'm giving you is all made up data I collected, from our encounters along the way, It's all made up stuff that I altered from those encounters, Now we'll land on this ( 5th ) planet, and we'll wait for your signal if you get in trouble, and "sir" the credit for these changes is not mine, it was "Spider's" plan after we read the response to our message, and I felt it was a good Idea, and also "Spider" wants to go with you to watch your back", "Zeus" replied "I'm glad I have a crew like all of you, so lets get this plan rolling, I hope everything works just fine", "Zeus" and "Tiger" went to the landing craft, the whole ships crew was there waiting to see them off, and to wish them lots of luck, they launched on schedule, towards the coordinates that the computer was programmed for, "Tiger" had landed "Exploration-5" on the surface of the ( 5th ) planet, to avoid being detected by the planet "Tarth", he shut everything "Off" except for, the main life support systems an communications, and all that was left to do now was to wait, Now "Zeus" had left the ( 5th ) planets orbit, and arrived at ( 299-6 ) by ( 211-3 ), and he put the landing craft on stand by, ( 3 ) ships showed up on the sensors, the captain said "well it's show time, and I want to say, that this is a very good plan you came up with "Spider", then "Spider" replied "Is there something wrong captain ?" "Zeus" answered "Yes there is, in all my time as captain, and when I was in the war, I've never seen this type of procedure done before, with one of our ships, and I'll prove it watch", the captain got on the radio, and asked to speak to the captain, of the approaching ship on the monitor, regarding secret data files on the data chips, and the approaching ship answered to go ahead, and transmit all the data an messages, "Zeus" asked for a visual message on the monitor, to insure who he was communicating with, their response was that their visual display monitor, was not functioning due to a small conflict with their neighboring enemy, so "Zeus" requested a visual with one of the other two ships, the response was the same, their visual monitor was damaged or "Off" line, "Zeus" then told them that he was going to wait, until they landed to download any of the data, upon visual verification with the elders on the counsel, he also told them that he was Encoding an Encrypted it, with a password protection on to the data chips, No response was recieved from the ships, "Spider" then asked "captain, why did you tell them all that ?, we know that the data on those data chips, are not worth anything it's all phony", "Zeus" smiled and answered "Yes, but they don't know that, an if this plan is going to work, we need to make it look good, and by telling them all that about these data chips, that will by us more time since there is a password protection on it, and I don't know the password, an beside I mainly wanted to see their response, and if I'm correct they'll be making their next move soon, then we'll make a few moves of our own, just to make it look good".

    The ships kept coming, and "Zeus" watched the monitor, then it happened one ship turned left about ( 10' ) degrees, another turned right about ( 10' ) degrees, "Zeus" then said "That's it they're making their move", "Spider" replied "What move ?, I don't see anything strange", "Zeus" answered "You were never in the War son, and I was, it's combat tactics that only a "Trained Eye" can see, You see if they want a visual of your ships weapons or status, the following would have to happen: (1): They would have to send one ship in to investigate, while they have two ships on stand by, just in case it is a trap. (2): If they sent all three ships in to make an I.D, one would keep coming, while the other two ships slow down and stand back, while waiting for instructions from the lead ship, they would be in a circling pattern still moving, this way they can always be ready, if they see something happen. (3): Now by doing what they're doing, from what I see they're taking, what is called an "Attacking/Defending" posture, so they can pop Us from all ( 3 ) sides, and they're doing this because they know, that all our landing craft are pretty big and we have alot of "Fire Power", so let's give them a show, bring up shields, "good", O.k !, now bring all weapons on line, they'll be able to detect all this, and they'll know we might have found out something, "good", they're spreading apart more, bring engines on line, "good", that it now we'll count down from (10), (9), (8), (7), (6), (5), (4), (3), (2), (1), Reverse Engines, ( 3/4 ) quarter power, and Fire weapons", "Spider" answered "Yes sir, all weapons firing, engines "On" at ( 3/4 ) power, ( spider asked the captain a question, while still operating the control panel at the same time ) "Sir" How did you know it wasn't our People ?", "Zeus" answered "Well do the "MATH", here we have ( 3 ) of our ships at Home Planet, I can't believe that all ( 3 ) ships have visual monitor problems after being at Home Planet, and not having it repaired by now ? that's what made me very suspicious, Now pass by the ( 5th ) planet, and the location where "Tiger" landed the ship, so they can see the fireworks, if I know "Tiger", he won't make a move until I push the "Panic Button", I just want him to see what's going on, and besides they haven't fired on us, so that means they want us Alive, I guess they want to know where our colonies were left at", Then suddenly ( 3 ) very large Bangs disrupted the landing crafts flight path, causing it to bounce around like a toy ship, "Spider" said "We were fired upon, "sir", "Zeus" replied "I guess I spoke to soon !", "Spider" said "I do believe those were only warning shots "sir", they're firing again, direct hits on our shields, they are still at ( 95% ) operational, "sir" it seems that they're trying to drain our shield slowly, those hits were not at ( 100% ), they were at ( 75% ) normal strength", "Zeus" said "O.K !, after we pass "Tigers" location, power down our weapons, reduce speed to ( 1/4 ) power then count to ( 10 ), then send a surrender an terms message, make sure to broadcast on all fequencies, this way "Tiger" can hear the message without giving away their position, then lower our shields, and power down our engines, In that order please, do you understand me "Spider", then "Spider" responed "Crystal Clear Sir, we are now passing "Tiger's" location, stopping weapons fire, systems show firing stopped, now powering down to ( 1/4 ) speed, speed reducing and counting to (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8), (9), (10), sending surrender message on all fequencies, now lowering shields, engines are now "Off", we are now drifting in a foward motion, at ( 2 ) mikes per second, applying brake thrusters, ( spider spins his chair around to face the captain, and ended his saying with ) we're at full stop, now what ?", "Zeus" answered "We wait for them to tell us what to do, and this will allow "Tiger" to see everything", At this exact moment on "Exploration-5", "Athena" the new acting navigator said "Tiger sir, the landing craft is being Attacked, by ( 3 ) ships they're being fired upon, shall I plot a Intercept course an light up all weapons systems", "Tiger" answered "NO, we'll just sit here and watch", "Athena" replied "You're the captain of this ship, and you have a duty to do, and that's to protect everyone, Including those on the landing craft", "Tiger" replied in a mad voice "You're right I do have a duty to perform, and I'm doing it right now, I'm following orders left to me by my Captian an commanding officer, that's something that you should be doing right now, do I make myself clear", "Athena" answered with her head down slightly "Prefectly Clear Sir", "Tiger" toning down his voice said "We'll sit here and wait, until we get the signal from the captain", "Athena" asked "What signal Sir ?", "Tiger" said "I guess you wasn't at the meeting to hear all about the plans, but we do have some, and one of them is to sit here an wait, until it's time to make our move, and what you're seeing out there was not part of the plan, but for some reason, the captain brought that little show here to us, for us to see that our guess was right on", "Athena" answered "Oh I see now, by the way "Tiger", I ahhhh ---- I ahhhh", "Tiger" said "you what, you what ?", "Athena" then said "I, -- I, -- I Love You !", "Tiger" was caught by complete surprize, he had seen action on some missions, yet this took him to his ultimate state of shock, for he had loved her for the longest time, but never said a single word, mainly because he always thought of duty first, and besides he had seen her with other people, he figured he was in the picture anyways, he got up and walked back an fourth pacing, he scratched his head, "Athena" pretty much knew what was going thru his mind, that was because she had been asking some of the other crew members about "Tiger", that must have been the times she had seen him passing by, while she was talking to them, she thought that it was kind of cute to watch him pacing, lost in thought and maybe alittle bit jealous, after seeing her around other crew members, for the longest time she had seen "Tiger" as a "Wild go Lucky" kind of guy, strong and muscular, and very brave, yet in a love web, he looked lost and confused like a young kid, then "Tiger" walked to "Athena", and without warning he grabbed her close to him, and kissed her very passionately, "Athena's" legs gave out from Excitement, "Tiger" sat her down gently an gave her a few minutes to catch herself, when she regained her composure, he told her "I love you Too, I always have, I always will, but for right now lets get back to monitoring, the ships systems before something else happens, we can see each other later", "Athena" answered "I love you alot, and I understand back to duty", they returned back to monitoring the main systems again, looking at each other from time to time, they saw that the ( 3 ) ships were now closing in on the landing craft, and on the landing craft they recieved a small message: "We'll be taking you into tow, keep all your systems "Off", or we'll open fire on you, and destroy your ship", "Zeus" replied with a small message too: "We Understand, over", then the ( 3 ) ships towing the landing craft, headed back towards "Tarth", when the landing craft landed, there was a large security squad in the area of the landing crafts ramp, "Zeus" opened the door, then he saw that the people there was the enemy, that their people had been fighting, for hundreds of years in the next galaxy, the ( 5 ) crew members were escorted to the detention center, that was close by next to the control landing building, "Zeus" and the crew members were "Stripped Naked" of their enviromental space suits, that they had to wear just in case something happened, to their landing craft during re-entry thru their atmosphere, the squad leader from the enemy picked-up the captains enviromental suit, and removed the ( 2 ) data chips, they were then escorted "Naked", to a holding room which had food waiting for them, outside the room was ( 10 ) guards, watching the area with another ( 5 ) guards furthier down the hallway, and as the crew of the landing craft sat there eating, one of the crew member spoke out "What happened to our people ? sir", "Zeus" replied "I don't Know, I hope it's just this city, that is in their hands and not the whole planet, but I don't doubt that, they seem to have full control of the planet an space borders, and besides according to the data "Tiger" and "Spider", found here of our home planet, was that they used a very "Toxic Chemical" to kill our people, and to take control of our planet", "Spider" said "I'm afraid that's all true, our enemy used a "Toxic Chemical" called ( "Typhoid/botulism" ), and it spreads from person to person fastier, then any other disease known around, it becomes air born in hours after the person is infected, then it multiplies at a ( 75% ) rate then most disease, once a weapon is Exploded over an area, it settles on the water, then micro-organism adapts and becomes water born, while the rest of the mass settles on the ground, trees, fruits allowing it to grow and spread, then our people and animals eat the food an fruits, what follows is sickness, fever, coughing, at which the disease "Mutates" and becomes air born, killing the infected person within ( 72 ) hours, but before death that person can contaminate thousands, and the enemy knows that by doing this, the disease can kill millions upon millions, without firing a shot everyone can still die, by this Invisible enemy that no one can see coming.", for about ( 30 ) minutes they continued to talk and eat, then a guard opened the door, and said ( while pointing ) "you and you, let's go", pointing at the captain an a crew member, they were taken to another room down the hall, "Zeus" was told to sit in the chair to the right, and the other crew member to sit on the chair to the left, the chairs were about ( 20' ) feet apart, then ( 2 ) guards walked in, and stood to the right an left side of "Zeus", then ( 2 ) more guards walked in, and stood to the right an left side of the crew member, about ( 10 ) minutes later ( 5 ) people came into the room, and went to the seats straight ahead an sat down, they all kept looking at "Zeus" for about ( 10 ) minutes, then one got up and said "Tell me captain of the "Exploration-5" ship, Where are the other settlements of the Uman People ?", "Zeus" just sat there saying nothing, the person asked "Zeus" another small question, "What is the password for the ( 2 ) data chips ?", "Zeus" looked at him and said nothing, the person asked "Zeus" another small question, "How did your people Know, about our plans to attack ?", "Zeus" continued to say nothing, the person then said "O.K, O.K, I see where this is going, But all the same I have to ask you these, just as a formality before I kill you, you see I'm not even expecting an answer really, but here we continue for my superiors sake, How many settlements, do you know about ?", "Zeus" said nothing, the person then turned around and went back to sit down, then another person stood up and walked an stood in front of "Zeus", and asked him the same question, "Where are the other Uman settlements ?", "Zeus" looked at the person and smiled, but he said nothing, the person then told "Zeus", "Look, you will tell me everything I want to know, you see I only have ( 4 ) little questions, and I'll get ( 4 ) little answers, you see I have ( 4 ) answer cards, ( You want to see ? )", the person then got the lazer gun, from the guard standing next to the crew member seating on the other seat, the person then put the lazer gun at the head of the crew member, and fired, the head of the crew member was completely disintegrated, with only the body left an a small amount of the neck bone, still wiggling sticking out of the body then fell to the ground, "Zeus" stood up yelling, "Noooooo", and ran toward the person with the lazer gun, but the ( 2 ) guards tackled him to the ground, then picked him up an sat him back on his chair behind him, the person with the gun, then walked back to "Zeus" and said "Dam, Now I only have ( 3 ) cards left, but I feel that I'll still get my ( 4 ) answers, cause ( 1 ) card will count as two answers", the person then told the ( 2 ) guards to get rid of the body, and to bring another prisoner, and to sit him on that chair, then the person turned to "Zeus" and asked him, "Where are the other Uman settlements ?", "Zeus" said "Everyone else from our ship died, when we were attacked by other Lifeforms.", the person said "Ahhh, so we can talk !, But I don't mean your crew you Idiot, I mean the other settlements ?, You Know other people like you, you know millions of Umans, not your stupid little crew, we have youuuuu !!!, and if that was the answer, we could have the ( 5 ) of you, oooopps ( covering mouth), I mean ( 4 ) of you "NOW", and that would end here", "Zeus" answered "We didn't leave any settlements anywhere, we left here with a crew of ( 91 ) shipmates, and as you can see, only ( 5 ) of us made it back "Home", the person said "Captain, I'm not talking about the crew from your "SHIP", I'm talking about all the people on this planet, when we made our attack here on "tarth", on day ( 141001 ) we found only a couple of million people dead, we know that your people numbered in the billions, of those who survived the shock wave, Now where are those Uman people at ?", "Zeus" replied "I don't know, we were on the other side of the universe at the time", then the person said "You must have recieved a message, as to where they went ?", "Zeus" answered "We recieved nothing, not a peep, we were out of communication range, and besides we told heavy damage, on our communication antenia during our first battle", the person said "O.K, we'll get back to that one later", the guards brought the other crew member in the room, and sat him down in the chair to the right, another person got in front of "Zeus" and asked "Now, What's the password for the data chips ?", "Zeus" answered quickly "Alpha-Omega", the person relied "Good, Good, we told you that we would get answers, that was number( # 1 ), Now ( 3 ) more to go, How did your people know about our planned attack ?", "Zeus" answered "They found some canisters on a colony ship, and they radioed back home of the find, But it was to late for the colony ship, soon after they sent the message, the canisters must have exploded or something, killing all the people on the colony ship, but with that message sent Home, then the elder counsel, I'm guessing might have did a search here on "Tarth", found the canisters or evidence of your plans, and they left before they Exploded, Sprayed, Expanded, What ever type of deliver system you had planned, and they knew they couldn't stop it", the person said "Colony Ship ?, I didn't say anything about a colony ship, How did you know about that, if you hadn't been recieving messages ?", "Zeus" answered "That's because we came across the colony ship, on the way back here, it was floating out in space spinning out of control, we boarded her and found over ( 500,000 ) people on board dead, we tested the air an found out it had a very Toxic atmosphere, so we brought the ship back under control, then we faced her toward a near by Sun, fired her engines and watched her Explode an Burn Up in the Suns Outer atmosphere !", the person then asked "Where were they Heading ?, What was their heading ?, What did their log book say ?", "Zeus" said "We don't know all that, we just saw all those bodies, and we just shot her into the Sun, we were in a hurry to come back Home, with all our supplies running out and all, besides we weren't expecting to be asked all these questions by our people, all we wanted was to get home, and look to what too !", the person said "Is that suppose to be funny, How many settlements do you personally know about captain ?", "Zeus" replied "I don't know about any other settlements", the person walked over to the other crew member, and put the lazer gun at his head, the person looked at "Zeus", and asked "Is there anything you can remember now ?, huh-captain, do you remember anything now ?", "Zeus" answered "I heard about a few colonies, but I don't have all the coordinates with me, the only one who has them is my navigator, and if I could have an hour with him an my crew, I could probably convince him to give them to me, I'll get the information for you, I just don't want any more of my crew killed", the person replied "O.K !, I'll give you an hour, but I'll have alot more questions at that time, and I know I'll get all the answers that I want", "Zeus" whispered and said in a very low voice "You'll get answers alright, I just didn't tell where we'll be, when I'm talking to my navigator "Tiger", the guards yanked the captain and the crew member on to their feet, they were walked back to the waiting room with all of the others, as soon as the door closed, he pushed a small little button on a device, that the doctor transplanted behind "Zeus" ear, the panic button which sends a signal back to the doctors desk.

    "Venus" recieved the signal, and ran looking for "Tiger" in his room, he wasn't there, "Tiger" was "Off Duty" where could he be venus thought, so she ran to the bridge of the ship to check there, nope not there, so she ran to the mess hall not there either, she ran to engineering, nope not there, hummmm, she asked almost everyone on the ship, but no "Tiger" ?, she then thought to herself, who haven't I asked ?, Who am I missing ?, ahhhhh huh "Athena" she figured it out, she's "Off Duty" Too !, and her room is about ( 100' ) feet away, from where she was standing, so she walked over there, and punched in her code number on the key pad, and the door opened since it wasn't locked, she stood there for a moment surprised, since she was watching "Tiger" and "Athena" making Love, the doctor watched for a moment more then closed the door, and waited while they finished making Love, "Tiger" came to the door then "Venus" said "Zeus" has sent the "Emergency Signal !", "Tiger" told "Athena" that he had to report to the bridge, the signal was given and he left the room completely "Naked", which Nudism was normal on their planet and to their people, on the way to the bridge "Tiger" asked "Venus", "How long ago was the signal sent ?", "Venus" answered "about twenty minutes ago", "Tiger" said "why did it take so long, for me to get the news ?", "Venus" replied "Because I've been searching for you all that time, I searched everywhere, and I couldn't find you !, Until you saw me open the door to "Athena's" room", "Tiger" said "You saw that huh ?, anyways why didn't you just use the shipwide Intercom ?", "Venus" replied "AHhhhhh----I knew that", "Venus" mumbled to herself in a low voice, ( why didn't I remember to use the shipwide Intercom, hitting herself on the head a couple of times ), as she kept mumbling to herself, "Tiger" then got on the shipwide Intercom ( while showing it to "Venus" ), and called the bridge "Bridge come in", the bridge responed "This is the bridge go ahead tiger", "Tiger" said "Bring all systems "On" line to full power, plot a course toward "Tarth", Bring all weapons to the "On" positions, activate "Shields" and "Lift Off" when ready, then set speed to full speed on all foward motion thrusters, get the ( Zenitram Propulsion System ) on stand-by, and get the new "Ocnarf" defense system "On" Line, I'm on my way to the Bridge, keep me Informed to the progress of all systems, on the shipwide Intercom so everyone knows whats going on", ( "Tiger" showed the microphone, of the Shipwide Intercom to "Venus", again ), and said to "Venus", "Pretty handy Tool these Intercom's", "Venus" just shook her head with a smile, while at the same time the bridge answered "We copy all that sir, we'll keep you Informed on the progress", "Tiger" passed by one of the crew member, and grabbed a shirt no pant just a shirt, he felt a cold breeze on his chest, at that time "Athena" caught up to both of them by the ramp, they all started walking toward the bridge, "Venus" looked and smiled athena an said "You go Girl !, you and "Tiger" look good together, I mean really good together, you two were made for each other", "Athena" smiled back an said "You really think so, I do love him alot", "Venus" replied "yes, I know you do", then "Venus" walked away toward her office, "Athena" had to catch up to "Tiger" since he was way up there, they both reached the bridge, "Athena" stood at the doorway for a moment "Naked", and biting her lower lip, then she walked to her station and started working, a voice on the Intercom Announced: "All systems are "On" line, and at Full Power, course plotted toward Tarth an locked, thanks to our very naked "Athena", Now lifting "Off" in ( 10 ) Everyone so hold on, (10), (9), (8), (7), (6), (5), (4), (3), (2), (1), ( Lift Off, Lift Off, Lift Off ), ( 5,000 feet ) and climbing, ( 10,000 feet ), ( 20,000 feet ), we have good lift off now at half power, ( 30,000 feet ), ( 80,000 feet ), we show all systems green on the board, lift off now at ( 3/4 ) power, ( 190,000 feet ), ( 300,000 feet ), lift off now at full power, ( 22 ) mikes from the surface and climbing really fast now, ( 290 ) mikes from the surface of the planet, ( 10,000 ) mikes from the planet, now leaving orbit, now on course toward "Tarth", shields are now "On", weapons are now "On" and at full power, "Ocnarf" defense now ( 100% ) ready on stand-by, and the "Zenitram Propulsion System" is "On" and standing-by, all other systems show green across the board, ( 3,982,042 ) mikes to Tarth, I'm now showing power failure on the "Ocnarf" system, all else shows green on the board", "Tiger" got up and left the bridge, he headed toward the "Ocnarf" defense system, when he got there he noticed that the power coupling was melted, and out of alignment, he didn't have time to sit there and work on it, so he got a junior technician, then showed her more or less how to replace the power coupling, which should take about ( 30 ) minutes, and for her to let him know when she was done, so he could come back and make the alignment, then "Tiger" headed toward the bridge, the voice came on the Intercom again: "All systems show green across the board, except for the "Ocnarf" defense system, ( 3,754,225 ) mikes to tarth, ( 42 ) minutes on the clock, ( 3,455,110 ) mikes to tarth, ( 3,001,465 ) mikes to tarth, ( 40 ) minutes on the clock and were not being detected yet, All systems show green across the board, except for the "Ocnarf" defense system", "Tiger" arrived back on the bridge and said "Get a security on the faze pads, with full tactical weapons, and get the team leader to me right away", "Tiger's" orders were obeyed, and the voice came on the Intercom again: "( 2,245,681 ) mikes to tarth, ( 32 ) minutes on the clock", the security leader reported to "Tiger", and "Tiger" said "I want you to listen to me very closely, you have orders to kill Everyone, On, Near, Away from, Or in the area next to our crew members, Especially by the Captain, are we clear on your orders", the team leader answered "Prefectly Clear, and understood", "Tiger" said "I don't think you understand clearly, I mean even if it's our own people there, the captain wouldn't have pushed the emergency panic button, if they weren't in some kind of trouble", the team leader replied "I understand crystal clear, to the fullest my orders Sir, Kill Everyone in the area, even if it's our own people, Understood sir", "Tiger" replied "Go get ready", the team leader left and the voice came on the Intercom: "All systems shows green across the board, except for the "Ocnarf" defense system, ( 1,934,014 ) mikes to tarth, ( 28 ) minutes on the clock", then the junior Technician called "Tiger" on the Intercom, to let him know that she was finished with the power coupling, that was damaged on lift off from the planet, "Tiger" told her that he would be there in a few minutes, and that he would make all the adjustments an alignments, "Tiger" turned to "Athena" and told her "At any second we'll be detected, and then the "Early Warning Defense Grid", will kick in and we'll be fired upon with thousands of "High Speed, High Altitude Missiles", Along with Lazer Blast, so when the missiles come out on the sensors screen, push the blue button, if more missiles appear push the blue button again, then when we get hit by a lazer blast, head toward this coordinates ( 261-5 ) by ( 227-2 ), and call me on the comline I'll be in engineering got it", "Athena" replied almost horrified "Screen, Missiles, Blue button, lazer blast hit, head to ( 261-5 ) by ( 227-2 ), got it piece of cake !", "Tiger" left to engineering to align the "Ocnarf" Defense System, the voice came out on the Intercom: "All systems shows green across the board, except for the "Ocnarf" defense system, ( 1,110,645 ) mikes to tarth, ( 20 ) minutes on the clock, we've been detected, and we're being targeted, they now have a lock on us, they're firing, one boggy, two boggy, three boggy, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine boggies running hot, the boggies have a lock on us, and they're heading straight for us. Back on "Tarth" "Zeus" and the crew members were talking, in the holding room an "Spider" said "Sir, it's been almost an hour, since you pressed the Emergency Panic Button, I think "Tiger" should've been here ( 10 ) minutes ago, I think something might have happened.
