I would like to die on Mars. Just not on impact.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Elon Musk<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWatcher where did we park the car?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI will have her here in a moment Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRichard, good we will have a couple of guests with us.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPresidents please climb aboard.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cClimb aboard what First Leader?\u201d<\/p>\n

Cristian thought the ship visible and opened the ramp.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRichard please take the co-pilot seat.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLucy are you coming.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am on the ramp.\u201d<\/p>\n

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

Cristian blacked out the ship and lifted up to space.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen are we leaving Cristian?\u201d asked Richard.<\/p>\n

Cristian allowed them to see where they were. Again beside the ISS.<\/p>\n

\u201cWatcher you know the drill. Full audio.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, Cristian I have Commander Wiseman audio on.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cISS this is the Retribution off your starboard side how is everything on board?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is better knowing you are outside First Leader. Thanks for taking care of Gilly.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo Problem, Glad I could help. Commander I was in the neighbourhood I thought I would check-in.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything is good here no signs of Lizards.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGood to hear we are continuing on to Mars Cristian out.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHave a safe trip ISS out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cristian I did not feel any movement and you have no flight controls.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s right you didn’t and I am the flight controller.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThought controlled spacecraft are you kidding, active camouflage artificial gravity, inertia dampening. Transparent hull?\u201d<\/p>\n

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

\u201cPresidents there is Kleenex between the seats. It is our secret everyone does the same first time up.\u201d<\/p>\n

They both said thank you.\u201cWe just passed the moon and we are on our way to Mars.\u201d<\/p>\n

The first thing he did, is to take them to his work of art.<\/p>\n

Cristian that’s too funny when did you do that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c1889 Richard.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat makes you the first known human to land on another planet and the first man on Mars.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThen I claim Mars in the name of all the peoples of Earth.”<\/p>\n

Cristian repeated the message in Russian and Chinese.<\/p>\n

\u201cWatcher, how cold is it outside?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is 20c and yes there are four re-breathers in the equipment locker.”<\/p>\n

\u201cWould you all like to step foot on Mars?\u201d<\/p>\n

Cristian gave everyone instructions on the re-breathers. Then they all stepped out on the Martian soil.<\/p>\n

It came time for them to leave Cristian took everyone back to Sarasota Springs. The two Presidents shook hands and then hugged Cristian.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you for coming along. Lucy escort them back to their rooms.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOn the Job.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRichard you are the only one so far that didn\u2019t cry upon seeing the Earth.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou didn’t even bat an eye walking on Mars.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI was born for this stuff Cristian space is in my blood.\u00a0The gift you gave me tonight goes far beyond anything anyone has done for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGlad I could help Richard.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe big manufacturers have asked me to join a cooperative to build your fighters.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHow do you feel about that?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI can work with them, we may need a referee from time to time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a better idea if you are interested.\u00a0How about I make you project manager, you Co-ordinate the distribution of the technology and make the trades so we can get these fighters built?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am in how could I refuse?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat gives you access to all the technology. Richard, I only ask one thing. You do not use your knowledge to give yourself an advantage over the others. You must be able to separate ego and profit in the name of defending our planet and taking care of our people. I know you will overtake the others without the advantage because you have a better idea of what the future holds.”<\/p>\n

\u201cI can do that Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWatcher.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is telling the truth. He can be trusted.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOne more thing I have a cool watch I would like you to look at.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOuch what was that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWatcher open comms to Richard.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is how I communicate with my ship and my security force.”<\/p>\n

\u201cYou cannot however fly my ship as it is coded to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI also want your word that you will not attempt to reverse engineer the interface or nanobots. You have also been injected with the advanced nanobots they are repairing any health problems you may have. Keep that to yourself. Do all this and I will make your company name a truth. I will help you take Virgin Galactic.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI give you my word Cristian.\u201d the two shook hands.<\/p>\n

\u201cCan you travel the galaxy?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI have travelled to the centre of our Galaxy many times only a few know. I would like to keep it that way for now.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is something.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRichard I have an amazing wife I have not spent much time with today.<\/p>\n

\u201cI understand Cristian good night.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPark the car Watcher. It’s bedtime.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHey honey I’m home are you sleeping?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNope Cristian I am with the band.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShould I be concerned?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo sweetie, why don’t you join us I brought Tiffany up she is having a ball. Albert and Stephen and a few others.”<\/p>\n

\u201cHey, Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAngus what’s happening?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are just having a bit of food no drugs or alcohol allowed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was Malcolm’s doing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe convinced us it wouldn’t help your rep if we got out of hand.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI appreciate that, I am looking for my wife.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think she is playing poker with Raguel and Einstein.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat sounds interesting.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHey Husband where you have been?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI took a walk sweetie.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere to?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOn Mars.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRaguel I was thinking the ISS should have some shielding maybe some gravity how hard would it be to do that?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNot hard at all, docking with them would be the hard part.”<\/p>\n

\u201cI can arrange for suits for an EVA.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAlbert, how was your evening?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cExcellent Cristian, you sure wailed on that Gibson. The band has been teaching me about the guitars.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWatcher helped me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Albert nodded in recognition.\u201cIt was still great.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am going to check on the security force.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLorelei I am going to check on the men then I am going to bed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you want company?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYours, always.\u201d<\/p>\n

As they approached the Stryker three men in military armour approached \u201cHold it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEthel where are you?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am approaching the Stryker Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere is the Sergeant Major?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI need the passcode, sir.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ethel approached the men.<\/p>\n

\u201cEthel Identify me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cStand down Corporal this is the First Leader and the First Lady.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSorry sir we have passcodes in place.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy apologies Corporal I wasn’t informed. Thank you for doing your job. I came out to see if there was anything you needed?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe haven’t had grub, sir.”<\/p>\n

\u201cI will take care of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI see Apaches but no pilots?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have to have their mandatory eight sir. They are on cots.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo problem If you need air support have Ethel contact me. I have my ship nearby or I could fly one of those.\u201d<\/p>\n

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

\u201cWatcher contact the band’s room.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI have Malcolm.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMalcolm, can you get Tiffany?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSure Cristian she is right here.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTiffany I know you are off duty. I need twenty large pizzas and drinks for the men outside. Can you make that happen?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes First Leader.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCristian, call me Cristian do you need money?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNope, I will add it to your bill. Domino’s OK?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is excellent I owe you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAre you kidding I am partying with AC\/DC you owe me nothing Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLorelei did you want to go to bed it’s been a long day.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHusband, are you trying to get me in bed?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAbsolutely I believe I need to return a favour.\u201d<\/p>\n

Morning came too soon as it often did when they were together.<\/p>\n

\u201cSweetie I have to go downstairs and finish our event.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCristian I need to sleep a little more. I am tuckered out.”<\/p>\n

\u201cNo problem you get some rest. I can handle the show.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLucy bring four men and yourself into the conference room. Camera’s on.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOn our way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cristian walked in and up to the stage at precisely ten o’clock.<\/p>\n

\u201cGood morning did you all have time to get some coffee?\u201d<\/p>\n

Hands waved the room was almost full again.<\/p>\n

Using the interface he talked to Richard.<\/p>\n

\u201cDid you have time to talk to\u00a0Boeing and the rest?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes Cristian they are glad that one of us is in charge.\u201d<\/p>\n

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

\u201cI have an announcement to make. I have asked Richard Branson to take on the job of head of operations for the Shrike Fighter.\u00a0He will make the decisions on everything that has to do with the fighter. I trust that he will get the job done quickly, and fairly.\u00a0He will make sure that the technology is fairly distributed to all who participate.”<\/p>\n

\u201cRichard come on up and take over.\u00a0Our security forces will be leaving within the hour. If you have guns that were checked you should pick them up before they leave.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSergeant Major. Have all men report to help with returning guns to their owners. At 11:30 you can return to the Plane with everyone. Make sure everyone is fed before you go. I will arrange for Meals on the flight.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRoger Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0Richard came up\u00a0to the stage \u201cRichard I forgot I promised that the UK some work use British companies where it would make sense If you can.”<\/p>\n

\u201cPolitics Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n

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

\u201cI am going to walk among them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cristian shook Richards Hand.<\/p>\n

\u201cRichard Branson.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cristian again walked around the room and shook hands thanked the people for coming out.<\/p>\n

\u201cMr. President thank you for attending, Prime Ministers.”<\/p>\n

\u201cI heard that you walked on Mars last night with the Presidents of Russia and China.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAll true but I claimed the planet for all the people of Earth in English, Russian, and Chinese. I have it on video, we will broadcast it later.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRichard reminded me I was the first one to walk on the planet I did that in 1889.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Peace sign that was you?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes my earlier travelling days.\u00a0By the way last one out pays the dinner bill\u201d Cristian\u00a0said laughing.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have already covered it Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you Gentleman. I have made sure that Richard will be giving the technology out fairly to all. I will drop off your armour in the next few days.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMr. President the Lizards are at ADXMAX. Did you want your people there for the interrogation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo Cristian I would rather you deal with that problem. I would rather not have them breathing our air.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI understand I will take care of it. All of you have a safe trip home\u201d Cristian walked from table to table until he got near the Coffee Urn. He poured himself a cup of coffee grabbed a muffin on a plate and a napkin.<\/p>\n

Chris walked up and offered him a seat at his table. \u201cThank you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cQuite a show Cristian, all those heads of state in the same room getting along, competitors working hand in hand. Quite a sight.”<\/p>\n

\u201cI couldn’t have done this alone Chris, so many others kept this together. Including your girl Tiffany she was a huge help.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGood because she has asked a favour of me. Tiffany is the best manager this hotel has ever had. She has asked me to give you a reference.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI see.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI watched you Cristian and you are right you can’t do this alone. You need help, you are running a planet not a home-based business. Tiffany is one of the best.”<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy do you want to give her up Chris?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI really don’t. The stakes are high here the planet gets wiped out Hotels are not going to matter. I know you need her.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI really do. I would rather she didn’t know we had this conversation Chris.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI understand.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you for all you have done for the event and the world Chris.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am going to do one more thing Cristian. Call me at any time if you need lodging at any of our hotels. We will pick up the tab.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you Chris.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cristian went directly to the front desk. \u201cTiffany I will need to feed 21 men outside then I will need meals for them and a few more for the flight home.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI can arrange that. First Leader There is something I would like to talk to you about if you have a moment.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI have time, Tiffany is this\u00a0about my bill\u201d \u00a0he smiled.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh no First leader your bill has been paid. I would like to work for you.”<\/p>\n

\u201cI see and what would you do for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI would be your P.A. you really need one sir.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat about your job here?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI have talked to Chris, he thinks it would be a good idea.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTiffany what is your last name?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRandall sir.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter you arrange meals for my men go home and pack. You won’t be coming back.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFrickin Awesome. Sorry Sir that would be excellent. I live here sir. I can be packed in five minutes.”<\/p>\n

\u201cTiffany could you look at my watch for a moment. Now you are part of the staff. I will be heading back to the conference.” Then Cristian switched to the internal interface.” Make sure the men are fed and meet me in there.”<\/p>\n

\u201cCan you hear my thoughts Cristian?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo Tiffany it is a communication device like a cell phone but better. Just think your communication to me and I will receive it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGood\u201d she said a little relieved.<\/p>\n

\u201cI need to get back to the conference have your luggage out by the desk we will load it on the way out.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI will do.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCristian sweetie I am awake and dressed, where are you?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJust heading back to the conference are you coming down?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOn my way.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSweetie I hired Tiffany as my P.A. is that OK?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that is fine idea Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are not concerned that I just hired a hot blond with great legs.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo Cristian you would never hurt me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are correct wife there is no one here or on any planet that could ever replace you. I love you Lorelei.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI know. Got any food down there?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJust muffins.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is a start. I am really hungry.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDid you want me to arrange some breakfast?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTiffany could you arrange to have some breakfast sent up to my wife.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI will take care of it Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLarry where are you?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am at the conference. Where are you?\u201dasked Larry<\/p>\n

\u201cJust leaving the front desk?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCould you do a meeting with the head of NASA for a few minutes?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAre we filming Larry?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA meeting with NASA absolutely.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWatcher give me an update on his career.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cUploading.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCristian, Charles Smith.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst Leader Wolf.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease call me Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAll right Cristian. I hear you have been showing us up.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNever my intention sir, I have the deepest respect for your Agency.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo don’t worry we love what you have been doing. I hear you walked on Mars Last night?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes I did and I claimed the planet in the name of the people of Earth. That isn’t why you are here?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo Cristian we will be facing major funding cuts because of your technology, you are making us redundant.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNot on my watch, Charles. NASA was involved with the joint mission to Mars Last night.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAbsolutely, contact Commander Wiseman.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are also working on shields to help protect the ISS from harm,\u00a0also, a joint effort since you are supplying Raguel with the suit he needs for the EVA. The public will know that we are working together.”<\/p>\n

\u201cCristian NASA will be forever in your debt.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo sir they will not, we are forever indebted to all the men and women who have served and given their lives in the service of the planet Earth in our reach for the stars. Now is the time to double our efforts. We will move the timetable forward and work towards the Colonization of Mars and establish bases there and on the Moon. We will work together as a planet to make this happen now.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cToo bad we didn’t catch that on camera Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cristian shook his hand \u201cSmile Charles.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you, First leader, NASA is happy to participate in future joint missions with the Earth Defence Force.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCamera off.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDamn funding is going to be a problem any more. I know why they made you First Leader.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCharles if you have need of our spacecraft for emergencies or if you wanted to see Mars for yourself contact me or Larry. Keep in mind we are about to go to war.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you Cristian. Is there anything you need?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe could use some stickers for the side of our ship that show our support for NASA.”<\/p>\n

\u201cI will have them ready when you come for the suits.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is more, I need to establish a new dew line up on Mars and the Moon as fast as we can. I will send Uriel over to NASA to help with the technology. I can send him with you now.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cExcellent we will get to work on it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCharles gather all the space agencies in the world and get the Mars\u00a0One group<\/a> involved\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRight away Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cListen Charles I need to make mention of the Russian and Chinese involvement in last night’s mission somehow. You can contact their agencies and spin it. Let Larry know so we present the same idea.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI will take care of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTake care Charles I have to run.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat’s next Larry?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a lot of people that want to sign up for the Earth Defence Force. How do we handle that?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGood Question we can discuss that on the Plane Ride Home. I have hired the girl from the front desk as my P.A. Larry.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cExcellent you need one.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo everyone says. We should get back to the conference.\u201d<\/p>\n

As they got back to the conference Richard was still at the podium taking questions.<\/p>\n

\u201cI see our First leader is back with us.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI seem to be running out of words and I left my Guitar in my room,\u201d he said causing a little laughter.<\/p>\n

“I have seen all of you do amazing things in this room last night and today. I have seen rival competitors and rival Nations working together for one purpose. To defend our home. I have never seen a finer moment in human history than right now. You have shown the people of the planet Earth that we have come of age. No longer do we need to destroy each other but the need now is to keep us from being destroyed by an outside force. We will prevail.”<\/p>\n
