<\/p>\n
I have a very strict gun control policy: if there’s a gun around, I want to be in control of it.<\/strong><\/p>\n Clint Eastwood<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Mary and the scientists were making the old location in a new time home. Some of them were taking care of the greenhouse a couple more were in the kitchen cleaning up. Mary and Paul were doing weapon maintenance.<\/p>\n \u201cThese guns are filthy surprised they didn\u2019t fail in the field. I thought I taught my daughter better than that.\u201d Paul pushed a cleaning cloth through the barrel of his daughter\u2019s assault rifle.<\/p>\n \u201cLook at this Mary, black.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cPaul take it easy on her look at what she has accomplished in a very short time. M1 told me about how the world was before the Alliance.”<\/p>\n \u201cThey almost wiped out the human race Mary.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou know they didn\u2019t do it. It was the Reptile bastards that did that.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou are right Mary it\u2019s my temper getting the better of me.\u201d Mary held his hand and he calmed down.<\/p>\n \u201cDo Cristian and Lorelei know about us Mary?\u201d asked Paul.<\/p>\n \u201cI am not sure.\u201d<\/p>\n Lorelei and Cristian walked into the cafeteria in time to see them holding hands.<\/p>\n \u201cCristian Lorelei, Paul and I have been together for a few years.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cGood life is too short\u201d Mary hugged Lorelei right after she said that.<\/p>\n \u201cCristian are you okay with this?\u201d asked Mary.<\/p>\n \u201cLet\u2019s see until recently I didn\u2019t know that my mother was really from the future and had me switched at birth to save my life. I found out my father was an Alien and oh yeah I have a gorgeous redheaded Half Alien wife carrying our Alien baby. I time travel and have two Robots one that looks like Alfred the butler and the other looks like Dirty Harry, plus I have two spaceships. I buy and sell real estate in the past and future to finance a rebellion I am leading against Evil Aliens who control the Earth and will try to wipe out humanity in the future.<\/p>\n I almost forgot, Stephen Hawking and Albert Einstein are watering tomatoes in my greenhouse. We all live in my secret cave that is filled with more guns and ammo than the sum of all the prepper-survivalists in the world” He took a breath and continued.<\/p>\n \u201cI think I am good with you having someone in your life Mother. I am happy for you.\u201d He meant everything he had just said.\u00a0\u201cMan could I sell that story to the Enquirer.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cGorgeous huh?\u201d Lorelei kissed him for that.<\/p>\n \u201cMan, that cleaning cloth is black. We really need to keep better care of our weapons\u201d said Cristian as he looked at the black cloth.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s what I said Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWell I appreciate the help Paul, it\u2019s been a little hectic.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cNo problem Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThank you for raising such a wonderful daughter Paul. I could not have done this without her.\u201d He nodded in agreement.<\/p>\n \u201cShe has my temper Cristian try not to piss her off.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cFather\u201d Lorelei huffed at him.<\/p>\n \u201cI am heading for the greenhouse,\u201d said Cristian<\/p>\n \u201cStephen, Albert.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cCristian how does the garden look? I didn\u2019t realize that it was so relaxing, it helps me think.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s good Albert, the garden has never looked better, and I see you have extra help.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cCristian, this is Sara and Peter.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThank you for saving our lives.\u201d Peter, Paul, and Mary he thought to himself.<\/p>\n \u201cPeter, Sara I am glad to have been there, wish I could have done more, maybe I still can,\u201d said Cristian as he had a thought.<\/p>\n Stephen was sitting in a chair reading at the back of the greenhouse. \u201cThe light is good in here and the air better Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cStephen I am glad you are comfortable. This is a difficult time for all of us. Enjoy what you can. Where are your glasses?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cNanobots I don\u2019t need them anymore. Cristian I thought about my death, no need to fake it. Leave them with the story of a crippled man leaving a tenth-story hotel room locked from the inside and disappearing. The rumours of my ascension or that I have moved to an island with Jim Morrison and Elvis. Or even better that a time-travelling Alien abducted me from my room, will keep me laughing for years.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHey, you came willingly. You could write a sequel to your book, call it Kidnapped Through Time.\u201d They both laughed about it.<\/p>\n \u201cWatcher time to refit the reptile ship add some armaments and whatever improvements you can devise.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe are keeping it then Cristian?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYes, Watcher I can probably use a small troop carrier. Have the M\u2019s hose that thing out it still stinks like reptile. While they are there get them to give it a flame paint job.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWill do Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWatcher we should all watch a movie tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cDo you have a suggestion Cristian?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHow about Tom Hanks, Robin Wright, Gary Sinise?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAt what time Cristian?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201c7:00 PM. In the lecture hall if you could please project it in 2d as it was seen when it was released.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cNo problem Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHe went into the cafeteria, there were two he had not met cleaning up the kitchen.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI am sorry we haven\u2019t met yet.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI am Rebeka and this is my brother Jonathan. Thank you for killing those bastards.”<\/p>\n \u201cThank you for the help around here, Lorelei has been doing most of the work.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe are happy to help any way we can, we will fight if you want us to?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI appreciate the offer,\u201d he said as he went back to see how the gun cleaning crew was doing.<\/p>\n \u201cI have both our 50\u2019s cleaned and oiled Husband. Look matching serial numbers. I have cleaned and polished the scopes they are ready to rock. As are our handguns, short swords and our Maker swords. With the M\u2019s help, I attached a sheath onto the back of our long jackets. I have only your shotgun left.”<\/p>\n \u201cYou have been a very busy wife, nice job. How will we tell our 50\u2019s apart?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cOn the butt, I painted our names see.\u201d<\/p>\n He leaned over and whispered in her ear \u201cNice butt sweetie.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThank you\u201d she answered with a wide grin.<\/p>\n \u201cGood I wouldn’t want to grab your sniper rifle by accident.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cNo, you don\u2019t ever want to do that Husband.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cSweetie have the M\u2019s fit the 50\u2019s and my shotgun with a silencer. Watcher tells me of a smart bullet that is like a guided missile. Following a laser painted on a target. Maybe we should take some of those and add a laser to the fifties before we leave.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cOoh, good idea Husband. Do you have a plan?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYes sweetie it\u2019s Saturday and we are taking a night off. I have a movie planned.\u201d<\/p>\n Fresh buttered popcorn and drinks were brought out for the movie. Everyone attended an even dozen if Watcher was counted in. At the end of the movie, there wasn’t a dry eye. Save the M\u2019s and Watcher who didn\u2019t have tears ducts. He was sure they would have if they could have. Forrest Gump had not really been filmed yet. Watcher had brought it back from the future.<\/p>\n Cristian looked at Lorelei, Mary, Paul and the others. He thought about the holidays. They were coming soon. He had hoped there would be a Christmas here. It had been so long since he had one. He wondered about the children he had raised, wondered where they were. He wondered if they were happy. He would find them after the battle, if he survived, even if they were not his biologically.<\/p>\n Turning his thoughts to the fight ahead he needed to come up with a way to invade a heavily armed base and eliminate every living being inside. He knew there were human collaborators inside probably trained military. Humans turned against their own kind.\u00a0They were the enemy no matter what species they were. His first reaction was to kill them all.<\/p>\n The question was asked, \u201cAre there more movies?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYes did you want to pick?\u201d<\/p>\n He heard Star Trek and then he heard Star Wars.<\/p>\n Oh oh, this might be a problem. Then he heard First Star Trek One then Star Wars Six. That worked.<\/p>\n \u201cWatcher give them what they ask for.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAlready queuing up.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWatcher why do I not have direct contact with the M\u2019s?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cNo one has ever requested it?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cNow I have.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cDone.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cM1 communication test.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201c5by5 Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cM2?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201c5by5.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThanks, Watcher, thanks 1 and 2.\u201d<\/p>\n In the cafeteria, Cristian sat down with a pencil and paper and started to sketch out a design. It was a tracked vehicle small enough to fit through a door and manoeuvrable enough to go up and down stairs. Controlled by an operator with a shielded minigun upfront. Extra guns and ammo in holders on the sides and the rear. Two fold-out metal shields to protect people walking behind and at the sides. Flame throwers at 45 and 90-degree angles at the front to keep flanked attackers at bay. 1000 watts of led lights including infrared. Advanced camera system with a flexible camera with the ability to look around corners.<\/p>\n Add a kick-ass 2000 watt music system enough to pump out 150 DB of hard rock enough to make any Lizard deaf. It had to fit in the captured reptile ship for travelling.<\/p>\n \u201cM1 and M2 could you meet me in the cafeteria\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cRight away Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI need something built. I call it the Exterminator. Here are my preliminary drawings.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cCristian looking at your design we could fit an array of small rockets upfront and a rear-facing array as well. Maybe add grenade launchers upfront for smoke. We can save time by picking up the equipment in the future. The mini-guns, rockets and flame-throwers could be found at the same time. The shields we can handle with materials here. We also need to shield the electronics with a Faraday cage so that energy weapons fire or an EMP won\u2019t disable it\u201d Said M1.<\/p>\n \u201cWe will have to turn the door in the reptile ship into a ramp. You will need a shopping list we can prepare one for you\u201d said M2.<\/p>\n \u201cGreat I will take one of you with me when I go.\u00a0I know a man who knows a man, that can get us what we need.”<\/p>\n When the movies were done the scientists wandered into the cafeteria to see the M\u2019s and Cristian working on something.\u00a0Soon everybody was looking over the drawings including Stephen and Albert.<\/p>\n \u201cThe manifesto Cristian.\u201d Albert reminded him of the second article. The scientist stopped and looked at Cristian.<\/p>\n \u201cAlbert I think scorching the Earth and eating and experimenting on its peoples would be considered persecution enough.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cQuite right Cristian\u201d answered Albert. Soon he was making suggestions. The scientists worked all night on the Exterminator. In the morning there was a completed set of blueprints. It didn\u2019t remind him much of his design.<\/p>\n Stephen was the team leader for the scientists, who were very excited about the project. It was their way to contribute to the fight. The features and armament were explained to Cristian one at a time. The best of all the sound system. It would emit a high-frequency debilitating sound.<\/p>\n \u201cI had something slightly different in mind in addition to your sound generator. Lorelei I will need you to move out of the cafeteria for a few minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWatcher access the sound system and play a minute or so of the following AC\/DC playlist at 125 db.<\/p>\n 1. SHOOT TO THRILL<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Crank it<\/p>\n 2. BEATING AROUND THE BUSH<\/a><\/p>\n 3. IF YOU WANT BLOOD<\/a><\/p>\n 4. WHOLE LOT OF ROSIE<\/a><\/p>\n 5. LET THERE BE ROCK<\/a><\/p>\n At first, the scientists held their ears, followed by a lot of toe-tapping. Cristian was sure he saw Albert\u2019s wild hair flying as he headbanged. He looked around and he could see that they were ready to dance.<\/p>\n \u201cOkay, Watcher I think they got the idea.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cCristian what was that music? It was invigorating and wonderful. Do you have any more?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThat Albert was AC\/DC some fighting music, we call that Classic Rock.\u201d<\/p>\n Lorelei walked back in when the music was done \u201cHusband I approve.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAC\/DC it is Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI have a bigger playlist in mind. Zeppelin, Sabbath, Skynrd not to forget ZZ TOP\u201d Send all the music forward of the Exterminator we need to protect the baby.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI think I can supplement her armour to deaden the noise and add extra protection for the baby,\u201d Mary said.<\/p>\n \u201cGood Mother.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWhy are you taking Lorelei, Cristian?\u201d Asked Paul.<\/p>\n \u201cShe is the best fighter we have Paul, do you think you could stop her?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThat ain’t gonna happen. They pissed me off now it’s time for payback and payback is a red-headed Bitch with a gun.\u201d Lorelei gave a look that made everyone in the room a little afraid, for the Lizards.<\/p>\n \u201cSweetie save a little of that for the fight.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cOops, my bad.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cCristian we would like to build three exterminators. One for each of the doors and one for battle.”<\/p>\n \u201cI think that\u2019s a good idea some protection when we are away,\u201d said Lorelei.<\/p>\n From that day forward classic rock could be heard playing in the background. Albert could found most days headbanging in the greenhouse where the music seemed a lot louder. He was sure that it made the plants happier.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" TEMPUS CHAPTER TWENTY NINE I have a very strict gun control policy: if there’s a gun around, I want to be in control of it.
