All you need for happiness is a good gun, a good horse, and a good wife.<\/strong><\/p>\n Daniel Boone<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cHow long have we been gone, M1?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cTwo weeks Cristian. We had a visitor.”<\/p>\n \u201cI heard, I left me a note.”<\/p>\n \u201cYou are doing an excellent job M1, it is exactly what I had envisioned,\u201d said Lorelei.<\/p>\n \u201cThank you\u201d answered the mechanical.<\/p>\n \u201cHusband, are you hungry?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYes, but you don\u2019t have to serve me.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cDoes it make you happy when I do? Do you go out of your way to do things for me?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThen that is reason enough. The truth is I enjoy cooking, it is a simple pleasure. I really like cooking for you.”<\/p>\n \u201cIt is an admirable skill, sweetie; the truth is the food I would cook might kill us. Unless it’s beans or Macaroni.\u201d<\/p>\n Lorelei laughed. \u201cWhy don\u2019t you put your feet up, and I will bring you a coffee.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThat is a really great offer.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI am sure you and Watcher have things to plan.\u201d<\/p>\n Coffee finished, and he found the gun locker behind the kitchen. It wasn’t a locker, but rather a wall filled with handguns, rifles, and even an RPG. Some guns he recognized, some he didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n At the bottom of the wall were locked cages filled with ammo. He thought maybe he should learn more about the guns. Another surge of information entered his mind.<\/p>\n Ruger, Berreta, Glock, Remington, Walther, FN, A Vintorez and an SVD and there was his 1961 Winchester 3030 with the scope mounted. He admired the 50 calibre sniper rifle. That would stop a truck. He was in Gun Crazy heaven. Let the fuckers try to hurt his wife.<\/p>\n \u201cM1, are you proficient with these weapons?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAll of them, Cristian, you made sure of that. It was your future self.<\/p>\n He told me that The Elders were coming.\u00a0Do we have the details?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYes, I have a date for the attack.”<\/p>\n \u201cWatcher, can we identify the attackers?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYes, Cristian, I think we can.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe will take the attack to them. I read once: “<\/strong>a warrior chooses his battleground\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n \u201cM1, does Ascalon have defensive capabilities?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI can add more weapons and more shielding.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cLet\u2019s get that done as soon as possible,” said Cristian.<\/p>\n \u201cCristian, your future self still has not rescued Ezra.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI guess I left me with a little work.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe will leave after supper.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cLorelei, we are leaving soon for the jailbreak?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI thought as much, and you don\u2019t have room because you will have a passenger.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYes, but don\u2019t worry, I will be fine.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cOh, I am not worried about you, I worry about them.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThanks for the vote of confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cCristian, I have looked at the blueprints, I think I can get it started while you are busy with the jailbreak.”<\/p>\n \u201cWhere will you go, Lorelei?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou will have to update M1 on the way through, and then onto visit Arthur & Dorothy. I can take Arthur with me by train to get it started. We should take him some money to cover the costs.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThat sounds good, how long are you going to stay.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cA week or two should do it, you can pick me up at the cave.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAfter supper, they dressed in period clothes and, with a load of gold, they headed to the past.\u201d<\/p>\n Lorelei had her head on his chest as they travelled the Galaxy.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat is that, Cristian?\u201d Talking about the bulge in his clothing.<\/p>\n \u201cProtection sweetie, a 1905 colt 45. I have something for you, it\u2019s a 5-barrel pepper box, it’s only good for close-up shots. Watcher will update you on how to use it. It was Ezra’s I think.”<\/p>\n \u201cGot it. I guess it\u2019s needed.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI think it is. Good guys always battle the bad guys. We are the good guys.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWhen to Lorelei?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201c1905 just before Ezra first sees the cave. I need to talk to him, Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI understand Lorelei, you are the red-haired woman.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThat sounds like another paradox found,\u201d said Cristian.<\/p>\n They drifted off as the Ascalon entered the edge of the black hole, and then woke as they were about to enter the cave.<\/p>\n \u201cLooks much better in our future, Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI agree, Lorelei, it certainly needs a woman\u2019s touch.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cCristian, I am updating M1, he is changing his appearance.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cGreat, when he is updated Watcher we should leave. Lorelei, did you want a ride down to the Office?\u201c<\/p>\n \u201cWatcher, when does Ezra first arrive here?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIn about a half-hour, Lorelei.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cCristian, maybe you could take the Ascalon down and unload the gold at the office and bring Arthur back up here, save him a long train ride.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI can do that, sweetie, anything you need while I am down there.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cSome groceries would be good.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cCan do.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cM1 is updated, although he will only follow the instruction of the current Keeper.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAre you sure about this, sweetie?\u201d asked Cristian.<\/p>\n \u201cDon\u2019t worry, Cristian, I will convince Ezra about the urgency of our task.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t think he has a chance against you. I didn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThank you, husband.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWatcher let’s fly.\u201d<\/p>\n He arrived in Vancouver and opened the basement door and turned on the lights. There were four motorcycles parked in the garage, all with whitewall tires.<\/p>\n Two of them had Harley-Davidson painted on the green fuel tanks. The other two were bright red. Hendee painted in gold paint on those tanks. They would change their name to Indian in 1928.<\/p>\n He thought the ship inside and closed the door. He walked up the familiar stairs and pushed on the bookcase door. The office was clean, and the living Quarters were ready for occupancy.<\/p>\n Dorothy walked in “I heard someone walking around, I had hoped it was you, Cristian. You haven\u2019t aged a day.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cNeither have you, Dorothy, How long has it been?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cFifteen years Cristian, our boys have almost grown-up?<\/p>\n \u201cYou have boys?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cCristian and Arthur Junior, twins.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI am flattered, Dorothy.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cArthur, come in here, we have a visitor.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cCristian, I am so glad to see you. I was about to leave you a message, the company needs an infusion of money, there is another depression.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cNo worries, Arthur, I brought you some gold.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHow is Lorelei?\u201d asked Dorothy.<\/p>\n \u201cShe is waiting on the Kamloops property.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cShe is waiting for Arthur, we have a building project for you if you can get away.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cCan I get away, Dorothy?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cOf course, for how long?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cA week or two, I came down to save him a train ride.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cNice job on the Motorcycles, Arthur. The Indians, Sorry Hendee’s are a nice touch.”<\/p>\n \u201cWe also own a 1904 Cadillac, it is parked in the street.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cKeep the Cadillac for yourself, Arthur, and when the Kamloops property is finished, have another one and the motorcycles shipped up.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWhat are you building in Kamloops?\u201d asked Dorothy.<\/p>\n \u201cA warehouse, office and residence.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAre we to move there, Cristian?\u201d asked Dorothy.<\/p>\n \u201cThat would be entirely up to you. This office will be here until 2012. You can stay here, or you can move up to Kamloops. I can always have another residence constructed at the site.”<\/p>\n \u201cKamloops sounds excellent,\u201d said Dorothy, \u201cthis city has gotten too busy.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWell, Arthur, let’s unload the gold and bring it up.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe need to leave about forty pounds in the ship for another purpose. That will leave you with about sixty pounds, will that do for now.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThat will be more than enough, Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe will need some money for the Kamloops project.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe should get some of this traded right away, Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cSounds like we are in dire straits.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe are a little overdrawn, about $5000.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThat doesn’t sound like a problem.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI didn\u2019t want to sell any property if I could avoid it.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cPay off as many debts as you can, Arthur, Debt is a tool used to keep the masses in slavery. If you need to sell to make ends meet, by all means, sell. Just don\u2019t sell this property. The sale of this property is what is paying for this gold.”<\/p>\n \u201cCristian, that makes things more clear for me, thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cDorothy, would you mind picking up a few groceries for Lorelei and Arthur to eat in Kamloops?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI would be happy to.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cLet\u2019s get the overdraft and the rest covered. How much will we need?.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe need $30,000 to cover all the debt. Just over 51 pounds of gold at today’s price of $21 an ounce.”<\/p>\n \u201cThat leaves you enough for operating expenses for a little while.\u201d<\/p>\n The gold was traded, and the groceries were loaded into the Ascalon, and they headed for Kamloops.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" TEMPUS CHAPTER SIXTEEN All you need for happiness is a good gun, a good horse, and a good wife.
