All station's Holo discs are in working order and power remains at 98 percent. Each citizen has their currency and are being directed to their new homes. The orphans have virtual parents until they can be acquainted with new parents. Admiral Tactical officer Onrigaza of Vespa wishes to see his daughter, Vie. He is at the base of your elevator. He's been there since he has arrived.” Said Captain Hayze. "I've opened the door for him and sent the elevator to us.
Thank you for the update captain. Mrs. Calhoun out." Mrs. Calhoun walks to the elevator and contacts Vie to meet her there. The elevator opens and he steps out in a full Bushido outfit in Clagau armor. Mona quickly scans the armor and finds pieces of it contaminated. She uses her field to destroy his armor by dismantling it. He struggles trying to defend himself. Mona manages to removed all of his armor and opens a portal and disposes of it.
She walks over to him as he uses martial arts. He strikes her hard only to injure himself, Mona raises her hand and slaps him. He finds himself spinning out of control into the vegetation. He gets up quickly as Mona uses her field again to strip him of the remainder of his armor. She uses her Magna Discs to attract him to her as she stops him a foot away from her. She uses both hands to manipulate her shields to tear his armor off him and again disposes of his armor.
She grabs him by the throat and pulls him from her field. "I should kill you, for brining contaminated materials on-board." Mona sends power into her hand and shocks him till he's unconscious. Then drops him on the floor of their home. Mona motions for a Holo chair and sits. Mrs. Calhoun looks at her and feels so excited, just watching her. it was really turning her on. Mona looks at her wife and smiles. Vie sees her father on the floor unconscious.
"What happened!... DAD! " She rushes to his side and looks up at Mrs. Calhoun. "His armor was contaminated; he struggled as we had to remove it immediately. He struck my wife. She dealt with him, she was holding back. He will wake up in a few minutes.” He wakes up and Vie explains to him why they removed it, and then explains what they will do to him if he strikes another enforcer again. Vie gets on her knees and bows to her father in tradition.
He pulls out her mothers Rashiuns, she sees them and starts crying. "She passed away 3 days ago, she wanted you to have these." He slaps her; he lets her know he's displeased in seeing her like this. She picks her father up, and flies him to the perch and sits him down. He's shocked that she can fly and looks down nearly 300 feet, seeing her hovering in front of him. He walks to her and falls, thinking it had to have been a trick. She flies down and puts him on the perch again. She calls her children to her. "These are my children. And they are apart of my family.
We have 60 children, and were going to have more." She said. Her children were excited to hear the good news as her father was as well. He watches them flying around, he's totally taken back that their fully grown. Her girls wanted to play as one grabs her hand. She flings her like a Frisbee across the habitat, another catches her and swings her around and sends her flying back. Another girl flies in fast and spins her in the air, the one that spun her catches her and turns herself into a top and redirects her again.
She goes flying to the ground as her youngest one uses her body as a cushion. She hits the ground, slowing her down and tosses her straight up. She comes full circle back to the perch looking at her father stunned. "This is how we play, helps them to hone their skills.” Said Vie. He looks puzzled as he watches another doing it to one of the other girls. "Is that normal?" he asked. "It is for an Enforcer like me.” Said Vie. He hears her refer to herself as an enforcer and smiles.
Knowing she' got a job that's respectable. "How much they pay you?" he asked. "I don't know. I'd have to ask my master." Vie uses her network, she discovers she still receiving pay from the military. "I'm still being paid from the military. 120K." She said. He smiles and forgets he's 300 feet from the floor again and steps off and falls again holding out his hands. She flies down and takes him to the path and walks him back to the entrance.
"Mona, could you replicate his armor for him please. It is his custom." Mona complies, a full set of bushido armor materializes with a hanging rack. "Try it out. It's the real deal." Vie says looking at her father looking it over. He pulls the top armor from the hanger and puts it on. He smiles as he put it on. He tries out his armor on Mona; he raises his Bushido armor as Mona crushes it around his arm as he yells. Vie stops her father from trying it again. She heard his arm snap.
She pulls his armor off and begins healing his injuries with her probes. He tries to draw back seeing her probes, extending from her hands. She holds him in place when the probes pokes and prods his arm. She pulls him to her as it starts piercing his skin. She pulls the bone back in place. Moments later his wound was healed. She scans his arm only to see it totally mended. Vie has the Holo Disc replicate a second pair as the first set was dematerialized along with the rack.
Her father puts the armor back on and flexes his hand; he does not feel any pain from the break. Her father returns back to his deck where he is staying, the elevator closes. She wraps her arms around Mona and gives her a gentle kiss. She holds her embrace as her wife watches. She motions her hand and a body mold forms as she lays back upon it and relaxes. Vie releases Mona, she joins her wife resting as she looks out the dome.
"Are you almost ready for the flight tomorrow night? From what I know, he flies extremely fast in his sleigh." Mona said. "I love a challenge. It would be fun to play Santa, considering they left everything behind. We will bring Christmas to them this time. It would be fun to let them see Santa flying over head for a change." Mrs. Calhoun looks at Mona and smiles. "With 67 Enforcers flying overhead, it will give them something to talk about." Mrs. Calhoun chuckles at the notion.
Meanwhile back on the bridge. Captain Hayze received his first report from his chief assistant. Their first report of a break in, it was in the business district. He asks the AI for the video on who it was. "Have several men to pick this man up. He's to see the court judge at 0700 hours. I'll page the judge.” Said Captain Hayze. His chief officer departs. He could be heard tapping is com badge. Captain walks to the main view window.
"Computer, open multiple windows, exterior view." The room lines the walls with multiple windows of space. "Scan for possible planets for earth type environments." He stopped talking. He saw 3 portals excel out of site from the station. He watches out the window, occasionally looking at various windows. A virtual hologram opens. "Captain... Do you wish to continue to the inhabited planet that was discovered by Mrs. Calhoun.?" The AI replied. He turned around, her figure was see through. "Could you use a solid form please?” She took on her solid form.
She was a sight to see. She had Mrs. Calhoun's body figure, rich emerald eye's that looked like it was chiseled from the blarney stone itself. Her skin shimmered, the light reflected off of her. She didn't walk in a sense; she glided across the floor with elegance. The motion did not leave much to the imagination. She noticed he was drooling. She started watching his vitals as his heart was racing. She blushed and vanished. Captain Hayze forgot what he was thinking.
He stood there for some time, in a daze. His com was beeping; it snapped him out of his trance like state. "Captain." he replied. "We've located the suspect. We're chasing him as we speak." Chief assistant sounded winded when his heavy footsteps were easily heard over the com. "Use the barrier's to catch him." Captain replied. Moments went by as he relayed the news. Most of the night, nothing was happening. The monitors went on viewing space, he spotted something moving, he instructs the AI to follow the moving object in space.
Hours went by as the station caught up with the UFO. It was a small vessel moving through space. It was about 500 meters in length at least 200 meters in width. The front had a pointed shape with unknown markings. The AI was recording the ships markings while she monitored the signals. The AI put the station in front of the small vessel as it came to a stop. The AI saw signals being sent as she started recording and tried to translate the signals.
/>
Minutes goes by as the captain of the vessel popped on the screen. "This is the captain of the Niscroma, we are a cargo vessel." Captain said. The captain sees the figure; he looked of pale blue scales that went down his neck. "This is the Captain of the Antiquity 2. We are exploring the regions for a new home world. He noticed the vessel was listing to one side as he talked; the vessel was drifting into the shields. The AI surrounds the vessel with a shield, preventing it from hitting the stations shields.
The captain watched, the figure felt the shields around his vessel holding him place. "Why have you captured my vessel? We are cargo ship, we have no weapons" Captain said. "We only put the shields around you, so you would not drift into our shields. The shields would destroy your ship. It is a precautionary measure." The captain sees one of the Enforcers leaving the shields, and heads to the vessel. She land on the outer hull, a small shield forms around herself, then opens the hatch.
She enters and closes the hatch. She walks inside the vessel, she heads to the bridge. She met no resistance; her shields prevented them from touching her. She opens the hatch and enters. She hands the alien a small device. She presses the button so he could understand her. She holds her hand up and motions her fingers and a window opens up, it startles the alien seeing the window. She starts scanning the ships memory, data scrolls on her screen.
She was trying to make sense of the language. She kept looking at the data while it scrolled; a second set was the human alphabet next to the alien language. Time went by, a second window opened while she was viewing the screens, she translated his language. She transmitted the info to stations AI. The captain was able to understand the language even better while they talked. They talked, she left the room when she put up fields as she passed the doors to the hatch.
She flew back to the station; she went flying around the rings, and then the outer core of the station. She stopped to look inside the business district, a few looked out and seen her looking in. She zips inside the ship through the habitat. The captains finished talking, the shields drop around the ship. The station backs away from the ship. They move out of the way and continue to its original destination.
"Computer, pull up visual on solar systems in general locations. List all planets scanned" A full spectral layout of the systems came into view, the captain seen how much that has not been scanned. "Do we have any drones that can be sent to these systems, to bring back scans?" "Affirmative, we have 9,283 drones available." "Brings the station to a stop, launch all probes to all systems that have not been scanned.
Set drones to return after scanning, and set for next system when scans complete." He watched the drones being released; they were nearly 500 feet in the shape of a silver ball. The portals opened, the balls disappeared out of sight. The station started receiving telemetry, the AI's systems map started to light up in areas that were scanned. Data listing life, class, type, with or without life forms if it is inhabitable by humans, minerals and or ore's that could be used.
He scans habitable planets, the systems are available for viewing. Hours go by as the drones continue the search. A match for a planet is found, he lays in a course for the planet. Computer was unable to comply until drones are on board. He waits a few more hours before recalling the drones. "Sir, Captain Pike would like to speak with you in your ready room." Chief assistant replied. He walks out to the corridor and down to his ready room.
He enters, Ckekfos and several ranking members were present. He takes his seat at the head of the table facing a large white screen with the flags of his platoons. "Several of us would like to discuss what we are to do with Captain Jainway? She obviously has bad ties with the second in command of the enforcers." Ckekfos was concerned of her wellbeing since she is on the station. "You do not have any authority onboard this station. Lets get this straight. She is the owner, and she’s the head of the enforcers. Is this question on your minds as well?" Captain Hayze looked around the table, knowing what was said and why.
"There's also the matter of Eva." Captain Peninton got to the point, "She is property of the enforcers. AI Play back full video of Eva." Captain Hayze turned to watch the display. A white screen played the video back. The images of Mrs. Calhoun going back through time to save Eva only to risk her life in doing so. The captains saw everything, from the original call placed from Eva stating she was dying from rapid aging and the second call that Calhoun was dying.
They couldn't believe that the enforcers had that much power, to travel in time to save someone. Let alone, Eva letting her child die that way. "This conversation on Eva is over, she remains the property of the enforcers. They have legal claim and there is your evidence. They are protective of her as their property. I can make a request for her to help you, but you are to treat her as their property." Captain Hayze spoke with a sense of caution and confidence, leaving no room to rebuttal his decisions. "Please ask… We do need her. We lost several generals due to contamination."
Captain Bashier knew what he was asking after watching the video. Seeing how far beyond their capabilities they have excelled. "As for Captain Jainway. She is a civilian while on board this ship. It will be our responsibility to keep her out of site. If she is killed on my watch, I will hold you responsible. Before I forget, when and if they agree. She will be respecting her master's customs. And it will be accepted.” Said Captain Hayze while he had their complete attention when he was leering at them across the table... The screen changes to Mrs. Calhoun. "Captain Hayze.
I need a station wide announcement. We need the following people to be sent to our home. James Maverick, and Toal Calhoun. Please send a detailed escort for them." She was standing in front of her home when they seen several of the enforcers flying past her in the back grown on screen. "I will see that a station wide announcement be made, and an escort to pick them up at their location. The other captains have asked me that Eva would be allowed to perform her original duties with the other captains.
It has come to my attention, that several Admirals and generals were not aloud onboard because of contamination. They will have a detailed escort for her while she is away from you." Captain Hayze asked. "I will send her with Nicky, she will be her guard. This is the only way she will be permitted to do any services. I must insist no contact at all. She will have the new pads with her, do not hand her anything. These are my demands. Nicky will be with her at all times.
At times, she will have to take care of her special needs. Her new abilities require attention. She will let her know and I ask that you turn away when this process is done. She is still in her initial changes." Said Mrs. Calhoun. "We accept your terms." Said Captain Bashier with confidence. The conversation ends. Nicky and Eva appears out of thin air. The screen flips back to its original picture of Eva on the habitat of the old station.
Eva happens to see the image, she turns around and leers at the captains. Nicky slaps Eva hard sending her against the wall. "Remember what mom said about hate. She catches you; you will wish you were never born.” Nicky took a step into her a she was on the floor with her back against the wall, she was looking at Nicky wiping her lip with her arm... She looked at her arm and seen no blood and pushed off to get back on her feet. The captains heard what she said; they keep it in mind when around the new enforcers. Eva gets up from the floor and walks to Nicky. She wraps her arms around her neck. "I'm sorry. It's the picture behind you." she whispers in her ear.
She looks behind her and then back at her. "There's no excuse. Learn to control it, or you will be punished like Elasa.” Said Nicky. Eva moves away from her and starts to take a seat. Nicky moves the chair away from the table, she slides it against the wall. "Computer, Eva chair." Nicky says. A chair appears with a body mold with armrests. She sits; the chair fits her body like a glove. She pushes a button on the chair and it rises a few inches.
A window opens in front of her as her pad just activated. Captain Pike presses several buttons on his pad as a window opens. Several lower areas' of the station appears with sever
al sections were highlighted. He moved his fingers; they appear to be hanger doors. "We're in the process of manning the new shuttles that were on board. These are in place of our air force that we use to have on earth. Several governments want control of them, because of power." Captain Pike said.
"The enforcers made them so you can explore un-inhabited planets. I do know, those shuttles allow for field suits for crew exploration. This is far more useful to all of you. We need to get all of the military leaders to discuss for their men to get flight experience. Should we come across those who would attempt to attack us. There is always the unknown. At least we would stand a fighting chance. They also thought of this as well.
The shuttles and air crafts will not fire at the station.” Said Eva. Captain Hayze was not interested in the conversation, he needed to tend to the immediate tasks. Security detail for those requested. He walks into his Chiefs Assistants office, he notices he was not there. He starts to tab his com badge. "Computer, locate 2nd Assistant Lorento" "Lorento is on the Holo deck 63, Ring 2, deck 15." Computer. "Locate 1st Officer." "1st Officer is on Q Deck." "Thank you."
Meanwhile… Back on Earth. The last inhabitable place on earth, thousands of humans were left behind. They only realize they had been left behind. Many were confused, others began to take control. The remaining generals and military soldiers were setting up and contacting the remaining survivors when the Enforcers had left Earth. Fights broke out over power to see who would be in charge. A janitor at the last appointed Whitehouse knew the way those who were in control managed to talk his way into office.
The generals had the connections and where the bases were and how to get there. Transports and remaining personnel were gathered and formed a main unit at Fort Braggs. The self appointed president was some what antidotal, and the papers scattered around gave him a sense of authority. The general’s first objective to seek and find any brain trusts left behind for defense. General Talbot knew of a small town that was his Achilles heal, they were isolationists because they were nudists.
