TEMPUS CHAPTER FIFTY EIGHT<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Quickness is the essence of the war.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sun Tzu<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cRaguel what do you know about the Gray?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI only have the rumours from the reports of abductees. I am sure some real some not. No way to know, which is, which. Big heads, big eyes Gray skin Some report friendly most not. There is only one way to find out for sure. One of us has to go.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought two of us in a small ship. Do you want to go for a look-see?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe leader of the planet should not be the one to go Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want to ask anyone else, even you but I am looking for a volunteer.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI will go with you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think I will leave Watcher behind.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no need to leave Watcher the M’s can serve the same function.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe should leave right away.\u00a0I just have to say goodbye to Lorelei.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAlfred I am leaving on a trip If I am not back in seven days transfer control to Lorelei.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cUnderstood.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLorelei where are you, sweetie?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have to ask?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGet someone to cover for you.\u00a0I am leaving again I could use a few sandwiches and drinks.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI will meet you in the hangar.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRaguel I will be ready in a few minutes keep our trip quiet.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCristian Raguel and Uriel have left in the Ascalon,\u201d said Watcher.<\/p>\n

\u201cFuck.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNikola I need you to meet me in the hangar bay?\u201d<\/p>\n

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

\u201cNikola I have a situation. Raguel and Uriel have left for the Gray’s planet with the scorcher?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, they haven’t I have it in the workshop.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy did they go?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTo stop me from going.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHow fast can you mount the scorcher on the Retribution?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTen minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLucy, Alfred full loadout plus a combat trailer.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSergeant Major I need your two best men full loadout hangar bay ten minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n

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

\u201cCallahan I need fresh re-breathers for the Retribution plus four small O2 tanks and masks, fast as you can.”<\/p>\n

\u201cLorelei why are you in Battle Dress.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause I know you are going to misbehave. I don’t want to miss the fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAll right I know when not to argue.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDid you bring some grub?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, and the ship has MRE’s water and med gear. Now standard loadout.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere is the EVA suit?”<\/p>\n

“In a locker in the ship?\u201d said Lorelei.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you walk in you will see a new airlock separating the crew and the rear of the ship.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhose idea was that?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMine sweetie so you can go to the ISS and visit. I know you like going there.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat a good wife you are.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDid you see the cool stickers NASA sent back With Raguel?\u201d<\/p>\n

There was a big round Earth Defence Force logo and a NASA sticker on the sides of the ship.<\/p>\n

\u201cWas I asleep when all this was done?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cActually yes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNikola and Alfred\u00a0were busy attaching the Scorcher to the hull of the ship.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c Watcher can you trigger the device.\u201d<\/p>\n

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

\u201cAre you done Nikola?\u201d asked Cristian.\u201cPlease have your tickets ready for boarding those that are carrying loaded weapons please load first.\u201d<\/p>\n

Callahan\u00a0pushed the combat Trailer into the cargo area. Lucy rolled in then Lorelei and Cristian followed by two soldiers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have your shotgun and your happy face sweetie?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSoldiers carry your masks.\u201d<\/p>\n

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

\u201cYou will call me Sargent on this trip. Sergeant York.\u201d<\/p>\n

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

\u201cIf we are captured I don’t want them to know who I am.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWatcher patch me into the sound system.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is your First Leader. We are heading out on a mission Albert and Stephen are in charge while we are gone. Alfred, you heard my orders.\u201d<\/p>\n

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

\u201cProtect them.\u00a0Watcher take us to Thu-ban.\u201d<\/p>\n

Soon as they were able Watcher used the singularity drive to transport them to the system.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are here Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat’s interesting out here Watcher.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a planet with billions of inhabitants ahead Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCan you detect the Ascalon Watcher?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think radio silence may be prudent Cristian,\u201d Watcher said using audio \u201cI have shut down the engines and all interfaces. We are drifting, the imager has us looking like a small asteroid.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGood idea Watcher.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAny comm traffic?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLots Cristian trying to learn the language now. This is the home of the Gray. I am going through video transmissions that I am recording. Cristian there is an invasion fleet around the other side of the planet It is completely comprised of Lizards ships. The Gray have no ships.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHave you learned their language?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEnough.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAny ideas why they are conquering Planets?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt seems to be resources just resources.\u00a0They need water. They have no water Cristian, they have other needs as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWatcher do you know where we can pick up a stray Gray?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a sparsely populated area near the south pole.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCan we get in and out without detection?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think so Cristian?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLet’s do it?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo one fire unless fired upon.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to capture one alive. Lucy do have sleepy grenades in stock?\u201d<\/p>\n

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

\u201cM2 hand them out to everyone plus a re-breather.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLet’s take the ship down Watcher.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI just pushed us ahead to give us momentum. I will fire up the shields and engines before we hit the atmos.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDon’t forget the scorcher is on the outside.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don’t forget, I am a machine\u201d Watcher answered in his evil terminator Arne voice.<\/p>\n

\u201cShields on, engines and interfaces back on.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLet’s make a grab and run. Upload the language to everyone\u201d said Cristian.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a single Gray in the small structure ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPark us at the front door. Personal Shields on as soon as the ramp hits home.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cM2 kick in the door.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGas grenade.\u00a0Re-breathers on.\u00a0Take the Gray.\u201d<\/p>\n

The two soldiers entered first, shades on there was a single small being with a big head big eyes, slender arms and legs laying on the floor. M2 carefully picked the being up and carried it to the ship.<\/p>\n

\u201cSoldiers, Lorelei, look for anything of use food computers any technology anything that might help learn about these creatures.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI found something that looks like a comm device.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBring it and Let’s bug out.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWatcher interface with the Ascalon.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI have it Cristian? Raguel and Uriel are on board. They are on a Lizard ship.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs prisoners?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo as guests. They are in the ship ready to leave.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWatcher use the back door we put in the operating system, take over the ship fly them out and fire all their weapons at the host ship right into their landing bay.\u00a0Disconnect their interfaces from the ship.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Ascalon fired every bit of armament she had and straight into the landing bay that was still open.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Lizard ship has been destroyed Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cContact the Gray relay the message through the Ascalon.”<\/p>\n

Tell them that the ship is armed with a device that will destroy their planet. Send them images of a scorched earth.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cComplete surrender or complete annihilation it is up to them.\u00a0They have five seconds to comply.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCristian\u201d Watcher paused \u201cthey have surrendered.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cContact the Lizards.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is Cristian Wolf. The Gray have been defeated will you fight for me or die with them. There is another device outside your homeworld in the past. If I do not contact them within the hour you will cease to exist and all of your battles will never have happened you will die in shame. I will proclaim it to the all the known universes. In song and story.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIIIIEEEE. We will fight for you First Leader.”<\/p>\n

\u201cWatcher can their ships land on the planet?\u201d<\/p>\n

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

\u201cSend two ships to the surface. Your lead ship and one other. I want to meet with you face to face. Take your ship to these coordinates. Take the other ships and all warriors off all other worlds and wait for me at your homeworld? Do it before I grow impatient.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWatcher have everyone meet us at the house where we took the Gray from. Send them the location.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDone Cristian.\u00a0Cristian two ships have been sent to the surface. The rest of the Lizard ships have left the system.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst Leader I am never ever gonna play poker with you,\u201d said Hutch.<\/p>\n

\u201cHoly shit Husband you just defeated two worlds with a threat.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNeeded doing wife,\u201d he said without pride or boast. \u201cBring the Ascalon closer. Open comms.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you for giving us the opportunity to defeat the Gray Raguel and Uriel. The next question is do I open your door to space or do you surrender? I only want one word from you?<\/p>\n

\u201cSurrender.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGood Watcher fly their ship with us. When we land keep the hatch shut.<\/p>\n

\u201cContact the Gray.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI have the Chancellor Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is First Leader Wolf\u201d I would like to meet you in person to discuss the terms of your surrender. I have taken your army they answer to me now. You will come alone and meet us at the coordinates we are about to send.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCristian there is a small craft at the coordinates. He is alone?<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Retribution landed on the planet close to where it was the first time. Two huge lizard ships were waiting close to the house on the flat desert ground. There were about 1400 Lizards standing in formation waiting for their new Leader.<\/p>\n

\u201cLucy M2 Soldiers carefully put the Gray back into it’s house.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cristian now alone approached the contingent of Lizard warriors standing in front of the two ships on the surface.<\/p>\n

\u201cWho is in charge here?\u201d Asked Cristian.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am,\u201d said one of the Lizards.<\/p>\n

Cristian knew what he must do. It was a scene he had seen in so many bad b movies. He drew his Maker sword and cut the Lizard’s Head off and quartered his body before the head hit the ground.<\/p>\n

\u201cWho is in charge?\u201d<\/p>\n

The reply came from all the Lizards.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are First Leader.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWho is my second?\u201d One very cautious Lizard approached.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am your second First Leader. I am Commander Eelt.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGeneral Eelt. What is your custom to honour your fallen warriors?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe burn our warriors.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTake the warrior here on the ground and honour him back on your homeworld.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe fell in shame First Leader.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe fell challenging me for leadership. He is to be honoured. Do you understand\u201d He said raising his voice?<\/p>\n

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

\u201cWhich hand do you fight with Eelt?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy right.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cStretch your right hand out?\u201d The Lizard stretched his arm,\u00a0Cristian drew his sword and brought it down stopping just short of cutting off his hand.<\/p>\n

\u201cEelt do you swear to serve me above all others?\u201d<\/p>\n

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

\u201cThen you will become my right hand.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes First Leader. How did you know this was our custom?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI did not, it seemed the right thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is true. You are the traveller.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLeave me the better of the two ships I will take it as my own. I need one of your warriors to accompany me. Do you have any with the knowledge of science?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have one, a female on my ship.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSend her to me. Take all your warriors and wait for me at your homeworld. I will be there in 70 earth rotations to address the warriors.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs you have spoken First Leader.\u201d<\/p>\n

A female Lizard was brought down to the First Leader of the three known inhabited worlds.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou will accompany me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs your wife,\u201d said the Lizard?<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, I have a wife. As an adviser, I have much to learn about your race. Will you try to kill me?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, you have earned the right to be our leader. I will serve you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a question that will be asked by many. Have you ever eaten human flesh?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo First Leader I always found the practice revolting. Feeding on or killing sentient beings is something I do not do.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGood. It will still be difficult for you. You will be hated on my world.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI know First Leader. I am called Tuseer.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTuseer I will need a tour of my ship.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIs there a landing bay?\u201d<\/p>\n

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

\u201cIn private address me as Cristian Tuseer.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCristian.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTuseer Hold my watch for a moment.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOuch.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLucy ask the Chancellor to come aboard the ship and escort him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lorelei, I am flying you and the crew into the landing bay on the ship.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat did you name her Cristian?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is not rightfully ours Lorelei. Brace yourself, sweetie. I have a Lizard female that has become an adviser to me. Please don’t kill her. Restrain Raguel and Uriel.\u201d<\/p>\n

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

\u201cTuseer open the landing bay so I can move my ships over to here.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is done.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cristian thought the ships over and when the ramp was lowered.<\/p>\n

\u201cWatcher, can we fly this thing?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGive me a second Cristian. I have it I have interfaced with the ship.\u00a0I can fly her Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cChancellor bring your ship into the landing bay.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst Leader Wolf. What is the Reticulan doing here?\u201d asked the Gray.<\/p>\n

\u201cChancellor she is my adviser, she has been given the order to kill you if you misbehave in any way.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLorelei this is Tuseer she has told me that she has not killed or eaten any humans, try to get along.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTuseer I trust my Husband enough to allow you to live, never give me a reason, I won’t end your life.\u201d<\/p>\n

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

\u201cTuseer please give Lorelei a tour of the ship.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWatcher is there any way to identify this Gray as the Chancellor.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI have not found any way of Identifying them as yet Cristian. They seem to all be identical, almost cloned.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAudio on. Are you the leader of this planet and of your species?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, I am Cristian Wolf. I am Chancellor K’ proule.”<\/p>\n

\u201cYou speak my language.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWatcher any sign of Mind control kill him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cChancellor we need to go to my planet.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought we might.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLoad up and bug out.\u201d<\/p>\n

The ship was taken into the atmos above the Gray homeworld.<\/p>\n

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

\u201cContact his people when we when hit space.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cChancellor, tell your people we will return you home safely in a few days our time.\u201d<\/p>\n

He spoke to his people and they left for Earth.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst Leader Wolf did you have a device that could do what was shown in the images you sent.\u201d<\/p>\n

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

\u201cWould you have used it?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOnly If I thought there was no other choice. Give me no other choice I will use it now.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAh it’s true, we were told you were a fair and formidable Warrior.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSpies on the Planet?\u201d<\/p>\n

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

\u201cTell me why did Raguel and Uriel betray us?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey did not know, they were being controlled. There is a masked device inside them that has been there all along. We sent them to your planet.”<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy would you do that?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTo create you, Cristian Wolf.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNow you are just fucking with me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo Cristian we are a dying race. We needed your help.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything he is saying Cristian is reading true?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat about the Lizards and what they were doing on the planet?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Reticulans are very hard to manage. They are a very fierce warrior race that I am afraid we created. We could not contain them, their thirst for blood was due to mistakes we made manipulating DNA when we first started the practice. We are responsible for what they did.<\/p>\n

They took all of our ships and refused to let us fly. Even your ship was one of ours, although I can see you have improved upon it.<\/p>\n

They believed the conquering of worlds was something that was beneath us and should only be done by them. We were afraid of them. If we showed any sign of weakness we would have lost the hold we had on them completely and they would have taken the Universe. We created a plague. We handed you the plague to deal with.”<\/p>\n

\u201cHow do you know you haven\u2019t created another with me, Chancellor?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou did not destroy us when you had the chance Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat about the abductions on Earth. We heard so many stories.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were only two abductions done by us and they were returned safely, we needed DNA samples. The others were probably the Reticulans. I assure you we were very delicate with the subjects. They felt no pain or trauma.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy do we have images of what you really look like?\u201d<\/p>\n

We did have a crash it was not at Roswell. 1897 Texas we had a crash the sketches were made of a body retrieved. All the Other crashes were disinformation hoaxes.”<\/p>\n

\u201cCristian Wolf we are the Elders, not the Reticulans. They used any means they could and very haphazardly I must say, to control your world. They were never created to be smart. They were created to be our physical workers. As you can see we are not built for this task. There is more. There is another group you should be aware of. On your planet the Lizards as you call them, themselves have been manipulated by humans who have another goal. They could not have come up with the schemes to control your world by themselves.”<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you know who they are?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, not yet.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey will surface to back your replacement in the upcoming elections. They were behind the push for you to become the First Leader.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought that was a little too easy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you know what their agenda is Chancellor?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat every evil wants. To enslave and control. To better themselves at the expense of others. The Lizards were not capable of creating the diseases, or methods of enslaving and destroying your people. Those were created by humans.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFuck and I played right into their hands. Now they have a way to take over the planet, and worse maybe your planet. How do we fight them?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWin the election and expose them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat about your people? How do we keep the peace between our people.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy suggestion First Leader is that we join your Federation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSure and we call it the United Federation of Planets. Gene and Majel would have been proud.”<\/p>\n

“Then we join the Alliance. I have something for you, Cristian Wolf. Our knowledge, all of it. Use it to defeat your enemies.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Lizards are answering to me right now. I have them.”<\/p>\n

\u201cThey will tire of you when they see there is nothing to fight or conquer or kill there is no other way for them. They must kill. There is an enemy far more dangerous than the Reticulans.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWho is this enemy? Chancellor, is there anything else you are hiding from us?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou will soon learn of them. No, Cristian Wolf, we wish to live as a peaceful race. We have made many mistakes and we would like you to help correct them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you think the human race should have access to all of this technology?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don’t think you have the choice, Cristian Wolf. Without it, the human race will be eliminated.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHow did you do with all that knowledge Chancellor?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am not sure how to answer.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI will answer for you. Your technology is responsible for the destruction of many worlds and many beings. It seems to me that your people couldn’t handle it. I am not sure my people could handle it either. Maybe that is your goal to give us the tools to destroy ourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, we do not want that. We want to peaceably Co-exist with your planet.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWatcher erase any reference to the gift of technology from the Gray from all recordings.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDone.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cChancellor hold this. Now we can have a private conversation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou will not mention the gift of technology to the planet Earth ever again. I think this is more dangerous than anything the Lizards could do. To give a race that is just reaching for space, advanced technology would destroy them. We need to mature as a species and find our own way.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYour reasoning is sound Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cChancellor I return the ownership of the ship <\/span>to its rightful owner.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI understand First Leader Wolf. The people of Thu-Ban present this ship as a gift to Lorelei Wolf to use as she see<\/span>s<\/span> fit.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cGood you understand. If I lose the election I would lose the ship\u201d he said privately.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

\u201cI have two men here that have overheard the conversation about the technology. Any suggestions on how I handle that?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI can erase the memory of our conversations. If you would allow.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf they would allow. This must never be done without permission. No more devices are to be implanted into any sentient beings\u00a0again.\u201d<\/p>\n

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

\u201cSoldiers the conversations here must not be known to the rest of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

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

\u201cI need permission from both of you to erase the last five minutes of the conversation from your memories. It will only be done if you allow.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe both trust you First Leader.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGood, thank you, have done this universe a service.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Gray Alien did exactly what he said he would. The two soldiers were not harmed.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust to summarize for the readers you created bad Aliens by mistake then you created another Alien so he, he being me, could clean up your mess.”<\/p>\n

\u201cYes clean up mess. Yes, that is what you are here for.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCristian Wolf Janitor. Chancellor, you have a big hole in your story. If you could time travel you could have changed the past and averted all this.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCristian we can’t time travel.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Ascalon and my ships can why is that?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI have no immediate answer, that is interesting.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSomething doesn’t smell right here. I will find it out,” said Cristian knowing there was something wrong with this story.<\/p>\n

“Lorelei, you are back?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes Cristian I didn’t want to miss all the conversation, Tuseer is with Lucy. She is alright for a Lizard Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLorelei I have returned the ownership of the ship back to the Elders.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy would you do that?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLet me finish wife. They have presented the ship to you as a gift.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBetter than a station wagon. I’ll take it. Now it is a private ship.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes Captain Lorelei Wolf,\u201d said Cristian.\u201cOkay here is the billion-dollar question Elder. Who is the real donor of our DNA?”<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are 90 percent Human as you are Lorelei. The other ten percent of your DNA sequence is from another.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWatcher, did you know anything about this?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo Cristian it seems my programming has been altered to hide the truth.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour DNA sequences were altered to make you better thinkers and better Warriors. You are GMODS, genetically modified humans. You are the true Makers Cristian and Lorelei.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRaguel and Uriel are the two abductees aren’t they?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, Cristian you are clever.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTwo fucking funny, our two Aliens are humans who think they are Aliens.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI told you we didn’t hurt them. They were given advanced knowledge.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe devices in Raguel and Uriel must be neutralized.”<\/p>\n

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

\u201cWhy couldn’t we reproduce with other humans?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou never will be able to, your DNA sequence makes that impossible. You can only reproduce with another GMOD. It is possible that your daughter, however, may be able to reproduce with a human.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHow many female GMOD’s are there?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOnly a few, Lorelei and few others, one you saved from a ship that was sinking, who fell in love and married a normal human being and never had children.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGracie?\u201d<\/p>\n

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

\u201cThe love we feel for each other is that programmed as well?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe attraction for each other is genuine it is not a trick of DNA re-sequencing. You love each other because you do.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, I guess divorce is out of the question.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCristian Wolf\u201d Lorelei huffed a little then smiled.\u201cDid you say, daughter?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes you will have a girl Lorelei and Cristian\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLorelei remind me to take a holiday when we get home.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI could use one too.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo where do we go from here Elder? All I ever wanted was to raise a family.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWith a hot redhead that loves to make pie.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRight what she said.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe rest of the story has yet to be written about Cristian Wolf. The human hybrid that united his planet and saved them many times from themselves and others, and of you Lorelei the woman who stood beside her Husband and carries the daughter that may yet save your world many more times.\u201d<\/p>\n
