Instead of sailing off into the sunset, he hopes to sail into the next century.<\/strong><\/p>\n Dave Anderson<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cWatcher deploy the secondary sail cut the engines.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cCristian, what is this?\u201d A huge metallic sail deployed and billowed around the centre of the ship.<\/p>\n \u201cI am a sailor once again.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s beautiful, Cristian and quiet.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWatcher, deploy the mainsail.\u201d A larger sail shot out from the bow of the ship and billowed.”<\/p>\n \u201cA spinnaker that\u2019s incredible, Cristian. When did you think of this?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cA while ago, sweetie, I missed the tranquility of sailing.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHow is our speed Watcher?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIncreasing as we go, captain. We will be able to reach Pluto in less than three years.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI hope you brought sandwiches sweetie\u201d They sailed for a few hours and rested in each other’s arms. The two lay in one of the bunks that folded down from the walls at the rear of the cabin.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is nice, Cristian, thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI think it\u2019s time to go see Nikola, Lorelei.\u201d<\/p>\n She sighed deeply and got up and went to the co-pilot seat.<\/p>\n \u201cWatcher retract the sails, fire up the engines, it\u2019s time.\u201d<\/p>\n When they woke, they had landed on the roof above Tesla\u2019s lab.<\/p>\n Cristian approached a man sitting in a chair surrounded by sparks and homemade lightning. \u201cNikola\u201d He yelled across the room.<\/p>\n \u201cCristian, Lorelei, it is good to see you,\u201d He said after he turned off the electricity.<\/p>\n \u201cI need you to see something.\u201d Cristian handed Watcher to Tesla, and he felt the prick of an interface being injected.<\/p>\n \u201cGood to see you, Watcher,\u201d Tesla mentioned as he handed the watch back to Cristian.<\/p>\n In a few seconds Tesla\u2019s face had gone pale, the images he saw of a planet scorched, bodies, and cities reduced to ash.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is horrible, how did this happen?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou did this, Nikola\u201d Lorelei displayed her anger as she told him.<\/p>\n \u201cAre you working on something that can be used as a weapon? Tell the truth, Nikola. Billions of lives are in the balance.\u201d<\/p>\n Nikola was so shaken he had to sit in a chair for a moment.<\/p>\n \u201cThere is something. A few members of the Alliance convinced me that I needed to build something to destroy the Aliens.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou destroyed us, the Aliens lived.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWhat should I do?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou will leave here forever; you will gather your notes and this lab will be destroyed.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou can\u2019t be\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cDestroyed Nikola. Are we understood?\u201d said Cristian in his\u00a0don’t fuck with me voice.<\/p>\n \u201cYes, I will gather everything, Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cLorelei will accompany you. Contact the others, have them come here right now, tell them you have what they need.”<\/p>\n Lorelei and Nikola gathered all of his notes together.<\/p>\n \u201cE1 can you come into the lab.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cRight away Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cE1 when I give you the word, I need this lab destroyed. None of this equipment can survive, try not to kill anyone, no evidence we were here.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cUnderstood.\u201d<\/p>\n Lorelei loaded Nikola and his belongings into the ship and waited for Cristian as he asked. Within a half-hour four men arrived to find Cristian sitting in a chair where Nikola was sitting before.<\/p>\n \u201cGentleman, we need to have a talk.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWho are you?\u201d One of them started to back up to run.<\/p>\n \u201cE1\u201d \u00a0E1 rolled out of a backroom, cutting off his escape.<\/p>\n \u201cBe careful of your next move, she is capable of an immense amount of destruction. If you are carrying weapons, she will consider you a threat.” The four men reached for pistols very slowly and dropped them on the floor.<\/p>\n \u201cVery smart. I am Cristian Wolf. I am revoking your membership from the Alliance. Your actions would have led to the complete elimination of the Human race in the future. This is unacceptable. Don\u2019t talk. No matter what you think, no matter what you do, I can find you, your families and your ancestors. I appreciate your intentions, but I will take care of the Lizards. Now go and rejoin society quietly.” Cristian reached for some earplugs and put on his sunglasses.<\/p>\n \u201cI would run now.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cE1 I could use a bit more light and some music, how about some more Buck Cherry<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n The four men were holding their ears and running as the lasers and music started playing.<\/p>\n \u201cE1 destroy the lab when you are done, join us back at the ship.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cCristian, you were playing music.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYes, I needed to drive a point home.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cDid you hurt them, Cristian?\u201d asked Nikola.<\/p>\n \u201cNo, just revoked their memberships.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cLet\u2019s go home.\u201d<\/p>\n When they got back to the cave, Mary met them at the hangar.<\/p>\n \u201cMary, what are you doing here?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cCristian and Lorelei saved us from an attack.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI think he saved me from making a mistake,\u201d Said Nikola, his face full of remorse.<\/p>\n \u201cI was there, Nikola, I watched it happen.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cMary, I am so sorry.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cCristian may have fixed everything, bringing you here.\u201d<\/p>\n Nikola\u2019s face lightened a little.<\/p>\n \u201cCome on, let\u2019s get you settled.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cLorelei, are you okay, sweetie?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cMuch better Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHow will we know if it worked?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThere is only one way.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWhen do we leave?”<\/p>\n \u201cI wouldn’t mind a hot bath and a meal first.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cNeed your back scrubbed, husband?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cDid you want to join me, wife? Although I see it will be a bit more crowded\u201d He said looking at her belly.<\/p>\n \u201cI thought you would never ask? I will have to sit in front.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI guess I\u2019ll do the scrubbing, sweetie.\u201d<\/p>\n After a hot bath and rest and a lot of cat time, Cristian, and Lorelei rejoined the others. A meal was ready for them when they got there.<\/p>\n \u201cNikola, are you settling in.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYes, Cristian, thank you.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" TEMPUS CHAPTER THIRTY THREE Instead of sailing off into the sunset, he hopes to sail into the next century.
