TEMPUS CHAPTER FORTY FIVE<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Friendship is an arrangement by which we undertake to exchange small favors for big ones.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Charles de Montesquie<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAs soon as possible set up a conference call between the Prime Ministers of Canada, England, and the President of the United States.”<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are all available right now Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGreat.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPrime Ministers, Mr. President good evening Thank you for accepting my call.”<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat should we call you?\u201d asked the President of the US.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor now call me Cristian. Out in the world you can call me what the UN called me First Leader.”<\/p>\n

\u201cTomorrow evening at the Sarasota Hilton I am having a reception. I have need of a security force for the protection of the Guests and they will become my security detail after that. I have the need of twenty-one of your best men. Seven from each Country. At the reception, we will be announcing a new Space capable fighter. To be manufactured immediately. This is also an invitation for the heads of your military to attend.”<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere will these aircraft be built?\u201d asked the Prime Minister of England.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would like to know as well\u201d asked the Prime Minister of Canada.<\/p>\n

\u201cI see where you going with this Gentleman. Contracts mean jobs for your people.”<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are very perceptive Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you Mr. President.\u201d\u00a0\u201cI think that I will need you to supply some more staff to help decide that.\u201d<\/p>\n

There was a little chuckling at that comment.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think there may be more politician in you than you let on Cristian,\u201d said Canada.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere would you like the military to be Cristian?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSend them to McGuire AFB tonight. I am afraid you will have to wake some people. Mr. President, I will have need of some armoured vehicles for the security forces, Prime Minister from Canada I will need a C17 and pilots for a few days.”<\/p>\n

\u201cPrime Minister from the UK I would appreciate some of your weapons ammo and gear for the security force.”<\/p>\n

\u201cCristian it seems that Canada is footing the largest item requested.”<\/p>\n

\u201cAll true Prime Minister. I am after all Canadian and ex-Canadian Military. It’s time for you to support your veterans. Would the three of you like to see my command centre? You would only be gone for a couple of hours at most.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNow?\u201d asked the President.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can pick all of you up in the next twenty minutes. We can do a flyby of the ISS and the way over.”<\/p>\n

\u201cI am in,\u201d said the leader of Canada.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou mean we are going to go into space?\u201d Asked the Prime Minister of the UK.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, we can have a look at what we are about to defend.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWell count me in,\u201d said the President.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will leave here in a few minutes to the UK first. Then to Washington then Ottawa.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you want our locations?\u201d asked one of the Prime Ministers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know where all of you are. I will call you on your cells when I get close.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLorelei I am going out to pick up a few guests.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWho is coming over Cristian?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA President and a couple of Prime Ministers. I will be back in an hour.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are taking them into space aren’t you Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA little bit.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSee you when I get back\u201d He gave his wife a kiss and jumped into the Retribution\u201d E3 what are you doing in here?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI overheard the conversation and thought you could use the company.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was thoughtful.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWatcher take us to England.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPrime Minister please come in. Say hello E3.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHello, Prime Minister.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYour guns talk?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cE3 is much more than a gun.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you, Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOn to Washington.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a few moments, they were on the white house lawn. \u201cMr. President come on in.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTake off quick Cristian my Secret Service isn’t happy about this arrangement.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWatcher you heard him.\u201d<\/p>\n

A short hop over to Ottawa where the Prime Minister was waiting on the lawn in front of his summer house.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGentleman please notice the box of Kleenex between the seats.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cristian blacked out the ship until they were in space flying beside the ISS.”<\/p>\n

The tears flowed from the two Prime Ministers and the President. \u201cDon’t be embarrassed gentleman everybody that has come up has done the same. Even Larry King.”<\/p>\n

\u201cMy perception has forever changed,\u201d Said the President.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have no words probably for the first time,\u201d said the PM of the UK.<\/p>\n

\u201cPrime Minister you are very quiet.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJust enjoying the view Cristian we are above Canada.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWatcher contact the ISS.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI have Commander Wiseman Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFull audio Watcher.”<\/p>\n

\u201cCommander Wiseman this is Cristian Wolf I am off your port bow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cristian thought the ship visible.<\/p>\n

\u201cSir we watched the broadcasts earlier. We are all behind you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIs there anything you need up here?”<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we are all good Sir. We have one man feeling a little ill, but okay so far.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is someone here who would probably like to say hello.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCommander I never knew how beautiful our planet really was until now.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMr. President is that you Sir?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, Commander.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is an honour to talk to both of you.”<\/p>\n

\u201cThe honour is ours Commander. Be safe watch for the Lizards.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWill do Sir.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can call me Cristian Commander. Commander, I am building a space capable fighter you interesting in flying one? Against the Lizards.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes sir. I will see you when travel back to the Planet. Is that okay with you Mr. President?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAbsolutely Commander welcome to the Earth Defence Force.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGreat name Mr. President I like it.\u00a0Take care Commander we are on our way down.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCristian I was just informed our man needs to get down to Earth for medical ASAP could be\u00a0 appendix.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWatcher can we use the shields to form a seal around the docking port.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don’t think that will work Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cContact NASA and tell them I will need a suit.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCommander I am going to the surface to pick up a suit. I will be back in ten have your crewman ready for an EVA.”<\/p>\n

\u201cWatcher how are we doing?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe suit is ready at Canaveral Pad 39A.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGentleman I need to drop you off In Florida for a few minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n

They arrived at Pad 39A The place where so many launches into space started out.<\/p>\n

\u201cE1 Stay with Our guests and Guard them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Three men helped him get into the suit and he took off again for the ISS. Watcher took the controls and parked the Retribution close as possible to the docking port. With the ramp open there was still five feet of open space between the ISS and his ship.<\/p>\n

\u201cCommander I am ready to come across.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHave you ever walked in space sir?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNope\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHatch opening Cristian.”<\/p>\n

\u201cI am coming across.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCommander permission to come aboard.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSir.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWho is my passenger?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCaptain Gilmore.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCaptain, how are you doing?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBeen Better.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLet’s get you to a doc.\u201d<\/p>\n

The transfer went easy enough, the ramp was closed and Watcher took them back to Earth while Cristian took care of his passenger. “Watcher give him bots to keep him alive”<\/p>\n

“Will do Cristian”<\/p>\n

\u201cWho is flying the ship, sir?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy pocket watch Captain. Don’t worry he is a great pilot.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWho are you, Sir? I am First Leader of the world Captain.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh.\u201d<\/p>\n

Back on the ground, the captain’s suit was taken off and he was loaded into a waiting ambulance. \u201cThanks for the ride sir.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGentleman, you ready to travel on? E1 any problems.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo Cristian didn’t even spin my mini’s.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks for watching them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOn the job,\u201d said the machine as it rolled back on board.<\/p>\n

\u201cCan one of you help me get this suit off I have to get it back?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cKeep the suit Cristian it is the least we can do.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks, Mr. President might come in handy for emergencies.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCristian I think you saved that man.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJust doing what needed to be done, Mr. President.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGentleman I will be blacking out the ship for part of the journey. It is for the protection of my staff.”<\/p>\n

Cristian entered the water he turned the ship transparent so that his passengers could have a look around.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was a killer whale Cristian.\u201d said one of the P.M.’s. ” I didn’t see as many fish as I thought I would”<\/p>\n

\u201c Evidence of our overfishing Prime Minister. Now you have seen the planet from above and below.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIs your base underwater?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSorry I can’t tell you that yet. I had a modified F18 fire missiles at me a little while ago. Not even mentioning the bomb planted in a podium. You also learned there are still Lizards among us. Mr. President, there was even an internet rumour that you were a shape-shifting Lizard yourself.”<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you think that Cristian?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo Mr. President not at all. I would have ended you if we detected any Lizard DNA. I consider anyone disguised as a human a spy, assassin or saboteur.\u201d<\/p>\n

He blacked out the ship and flew at treetop level up through the canyons and back to the cave.<\/p>\n

Everyone came out to meet the Guests on Lorelei’s order.<\/p>\n

\u201cMr. President, Prime Ministers this is my Wife Lorelei.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGentleman.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cristian introduced everyone in the cave to the three leaders including Nikola, Albert, Hawking, Raguel and Uriel.\u00a0Then he introduced them to AC\/DC.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know my press liaison, Larry.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMr. President, Prime Ministers. Did he take you into space?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes and better than that he saved a man from the ISS with a bad appendix.”<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will have to hear that story sweetie.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo story wife, a man needed a ride. I borrowed a spacesuit went into the ISS and brought him out and flew him to the surface. I did get to see pad 39A that was way cool. Albert how would you like to give our guests a tour of the facility. When you are done bring them into the cafeteria.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI know you made some food Lorelei?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI did I made Apple Pie with melted cheddar on top we had better hurry I think the band found one of the pies.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAwesome,\u201d said Cristian.<\/p>\n

The men got the royal tour and showed them where the Wolf Alliance was formed. They were told the story about our dependence on oil, Climate change, the polar bears and the rest of the story. About the future where the planet was completely scorched. The battle with the Lizards both future and past.<\/p>\n

Then they all sat for Lorelei’s Apple Pie and had coffee.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the most amazing pie, Lorelei.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks, Mr. President my Husband likes it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I have heard him say.\u201d<\/p>\n

Everyone took time to pose for pictures. Larry took a few minutes to Interview them. So the world would know the story about the rescue and the words that were spoken in space.<\/p>\n

It was time to take them back. Uriel offered to take them in the Probability.<\/p>\n

\u201cUriel is Cristian always like that?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLike What Mr. President?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe cared more about saving one man that he didn’t even know, more than he did for his own safety.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s his way. He cares about people and he gets the job done whatever the job is.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am glad he is on our side?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMe too,\u201d said Uriel. After a time Uriel took the three leaders back to their homes.<\/p>\n
