E\u2019s then M\u2019s. \u201c<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cLorelei sweetie at my side long jackets and swords.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Cristian and Lorelei stepped out and walked up to where Larry King was standing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cLarry, good to see you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cWatcher scan for explosives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cCristian, there is C4 in the podium.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cWatcher Extend the shields around the journalists and Lorelei exclude the podium. Jam all signals into this area. E-series open your side shields around me, to divert the blast away from the crowds, give them a show some lights, snort some flames into the air, and music half volume. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=v2AC41dglnM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Thunderstruck<\/a>, keep them occupied while I disarm the bomb. 1 and 2 protect Lorelei and King.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Cristian touched a button on his personal shield and went to the podium. He found the bomb and with Watcher\u2019s instructions he disarmed both of the triggers. One of them was hidden inside of the C4.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cWatcher, find the one trying to trigger the blast.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cI have him, Cristian, he is standing at a window upstairs watching the crowd.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cE1 Zoom in on the perp. Watcher, display his face on the big screen above us with the words terrorist bomber, bring him here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Within a few minutes, a bloodied unconscious man was brought to Cristian by a small crowd of men.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cWatcher, any more explosives?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cNo Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cThank you, Citizens.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cNo problem,\u201d said one of the men.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cStick around.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Cristian approached the podium and started to speak.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cLadies and Gentlemen of the Press. Acknowledge these people for the heroes that they are. They just saved your lives\u201d Their pictures were displayed on the big screen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cYour heroes. It is apparent that there are still those among you that want to bring me and my wife harm. This man among them. His puppet masters would have murdered all of you present. Just so they maintain the world the way that it was.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Today the world has forever changed, you have been given freedom, true freedom for the first time since before the Mayans walked this Earth. Now it is up to you, the citizens of the Earth, to work together.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Stop killing each other.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Stop trying to get the advantage over your neighbour.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Stop hurting each other.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">There are those still out there that want to turn you into food. If you want to not\u00a0be treated like cattle, stop acting like them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">More than ever you need to come together, not as separate nations. As one planet, protect your neighbour, protect each other. Never again do you have to put up with the unjust.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Most of them are in your jails. What you do with them is up to you. Some of you have dared call me a hero. I am not. The real heroes are the ones who get up every morning, and take the long commute to a job that pays a wage that barely feeds their families and pays the bills. The cop that takes abuse from the people he is trying to protect. The men and women of the Armed forces that served their countries and are now homeless. Housewives that try desperately to balance chequebooks and feed their children with not enough money. While the governments take more and more of their money and waste it every year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">If you want change you need to be that change. Help the police, help the homeless, help each other. Eliminate crime. Those of you involved in crime. Find a better way, help your communities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Or join the collaborators. You are either for humanity or against it. I will remove all against.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Those of you that are the two percent of the population that hold ninety-eight percent of the wealth. Share it. I am sure that the Lizards don\u2019t care if you are rich or poor. You will taste the same to them. There is a war coming. The Lizards and the ones who control them will be back to tend to the people they consider food.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">You need to work together and show them that you are not Sheeple but people and that you won\u2019t be fucked with.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">That is all I have to say right now. If you have any questions, write them down and hand them to Larry. Or you can ask my two science advisers, Albert and Stephen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">I will need a member of the police force to step up to my ship. I plan to interrogate the bomber and would prefer to have someone in attendance to make sure he is treated properly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">A police Sergeant stepped up. \u201cPlease surrender your sidearm, Sergeant. Now your backup\u201d He did without question and handed them to 1.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cWatcher, have them come out of the ship.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">The two were met with applause as they walked over to the podium.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cAlbert, is that really you? I heard your brain is on display\u201d Asked a woman from CBS.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cIt is me and that is not my brain, it belongs to a man named Joe Smith. I might add it was taken without permission.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cStephen, how is that, you are walking and talking?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cMy body was repaired by nanobots.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cAs was mine,\u201d said Albert. \u201cIn 1955 I was supposed to die because I would refuse medical treatment. When I met Cristian, he took me through a black hole. I realized that my equations still needed some work. So I asked for help to repair my body. Stephen and I are working on the equations that prove that what we have already done can be done mathematically.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cWill these nanobots be made available to everyone?&#8221; asked one of the reporters.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cI am sure that is already in the works. It is part of the Wolf Alliance Manifesto. Stephen and I and many others helped put it together.\u00a0My only hope is that we can get the technology out to the people fast enough to save everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">The Q&amp;A went on for half an hour while interrogation was going on inside the ship.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cDo want me to handle this, Mr. Wolf, you shouldn&#8217;t get your hands dirty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cThank you, Sergeant, I will handle it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cWake up. I have a few questions for you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cThe Sergeant is here to prevent me from taking you into space and dropping you just outside of the ISS. He thinks we should.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cGreat bad cop and worse cop.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cWatcher?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cHe has a mother in Queens, New York, her name is Sadie.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cThanks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cHis name is Bradley Tompkins.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cListen Brad, I really am not much for rules so here is the deal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cYou can\u2019t hurt me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cNot you, your mother, Sadie. Then I will go back in time and torture every ancestor you have. When I am done, I will make your mother disappear while she is carrying you. You will cease to exist. I am sure it\u2019s not painful for you. For your ancestors, it will be very painful.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cYou can\u2019t do that. You have to stop him, Officer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cHave you seen his guns, I can\u2019t stop him, and I don\u2019t want to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cI work for a man named Travis Paquette he ordered the bombing. He stands to lose a lot of money if you live.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cTell me more Bradley be quick, I am not known for my patience. That woman over there, the pretty redhead, she is my wife and carrying my baby, you just tried to murder her.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">He gave me a contract for your life by the skulls. That\u2019s all I know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cCristian, he is telling the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cThanks, Watcher.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cGood, the Sergeant here will take you into the station where the interrogation will recorded you will give him everything he asks for. If you don\u2019t answer, I will start with your mother and work my way back through your family tree.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cSergeant, take away your man.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cMr. Wolf, it has been a pleasure watching you work, it\u2019s no fucking wonder the Lizards didn\u2019t have a chance. I will grab Paquette and add him to the Alien Collaborators. We will also grab all the skulls.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cWhat is your name, Sergeant?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cMonahan, Burt Monahan\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cBurt everyone calls me Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cYou sure ain&#8217;t no typical glory hound, Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cIt\u2019s not my way, Burt. I consider myself a working slob like the rest I was just given a few toys along the way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Burt dragged off the bomber and took him to the station. One of the reporters followed him back to the station and asked what happened.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cHe asked questions and this man answered them, that\u2019s about all there was to it lady.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cWhat was he like?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cHe was one of the most down-to-earth man I ever met. He told me to call him Cristian. I would be proud to serve with him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cDid he ever strike the prisoner?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cNo ma&#8217;am he never touched him not once.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cDid he threaten him?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cYes, ma\u2019am he threatened to take him up to the ISS and drop him off. Don\u2019t forget he tried to kill you and all the press there plus his pregnant wife. I would have probably done worse than just the threats if it were me and my family. I have no love for the Lizard collaborators.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cThank you, Sergeant.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Cristian came out to the podium and let everyone know he had to leave. He motioned Larry to come up. They boarded the ship, followed by the four Mechanicals. The ship went invisible in front of the cameras and headed for the cave. Lorelei had to sit on Cristian\u2019s lap 1 and 2 sat in the cargo area with the E series.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cCristian, how did you know about the explosives?\u201d Asked Larry<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cSensor\u2019s detected the explosives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cThat\u2019s twice you saved my life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cThree actually Larry, your pancreatic cancer has been repaired.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cThe nanobots repaired the damage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cAre you going to get this technology out to the people?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cAs fast as we can, Larry there are a lot of people on the planet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><a href=\"http:\/\/rodbinder.com\/tempusone\/chapter-40\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"517\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/rodbinder.com\/tempusone\/tempus-chapter-two\/prev\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rodbinder.com\/tempusone\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/03\/prev.png?fit=95%2C20\" data-orig-size=\"95,20\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"prev\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rodbinder.com\/tempusone\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/03\/prev.png?fit=95%2C20\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rodbinder.com\/tempusone\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/03\/prev.png?fit=95%2C20\" class=\"size-full wp-image-517 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rodbinder.com\/tempusone\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/03\/prev.png?resize=95%2C20\" alt=\"prev\" width=\"95\" height=\"20\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/rodbinder.com\/tempusone\/chapter-42\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"515\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/rodbinder.com\/tempusone\/tempus-chapter-one\/next\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rodbinder.com\/tempusone\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/03\/next.png?fit=95%2C20\" data-orig-size=\"95,20\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"next\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rodbinder.com\/tempusone\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/03\/next.png?fit=95%2C20\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rodbinder.com\/tempusone\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/03\/next.png?fit=95%2C20\" class=\"size-full wp-image-515 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rodbinder.com\/tempusone\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/03\/next.png?resize=95%2C20\" alt=\"next\" width=\"95\" height=\"20\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TEMPUS CHAPTER FORTY ONE &nbsp; &nbsp; The greatest danger of bombs is in the explosion of stupidity that they provoke.
