Captain ISS out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Raquel returned with a full load of people to the S\u00e9adhna. Cristian and Lorelei, the Chancellor and Tuseer met them in the landing bay.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\u201cAlbert, Stephen, Larry, Tiffany I would like you to meet Chancellor K&#8217;proule. This is science officer Tuseer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\u201cCristian she is a Lizard.\u201d said a wild-haired Genius.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\u201cYes Albert, take your hands off your guns all of you She is to be addressed as a Reticulan.\u00a0Who do you serve Tuseer?\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\u201cI serve you First Leader.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\u201cWhy do you serve me?\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\u201cYou are the rightful leader of my People.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\u201cHave you ever eaten Human Flesh or participated in the killing of any sentient beings?\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\u201cNo First Leader.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\u201cDoes everyone here understand that Tuseer now is part of our staff and must not be harmed or treated with disrespect?\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\u201cWe understand,&#8221; said Albert who was speaking for everyone.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\u201cGood now we must present the same ideal to the world.\u00a0I would also like to introduce the Captain and owner of the ship S\u00e9adhna. Captain Lorelei Wolf.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\u201cCaptain of your own ship that is wonderful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\u201cThanks, Albert,\u201d she said smiling.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\u201cTuseer I am Stephen. I would like to welcome you to the staff.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\u201cThank you, Stephen. I know that gesture must have been difficult for you, given the actions of my people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\u201cCaptain Wolf I think it&#8217;s time we consider landing. Watcher, Please update everyone on what happened.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\u201cUpdates are about to be up-loaded Cristian,\u201d said the pocket watch.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\u201cCristian you finished the war?\u201d asked Larry King.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\u201cLarry we are not finished.\u00a0We have thousands of worlds to find and help.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\u201cWatcher can we condense the events for a press release,\u201d asked Larry.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\u201cAbsolutely Larry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\u201cTuseer could you give us a tour of the ship?\u201d asked Tiffany.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\u201cAh sure, Tiffany right?\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\u201cYes, that&#8217;s right.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\u201cWatcher take us in. Sound the Brace for Ground Landing warning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\u201cRight away Captain. Do we have one?\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">&#8220;Make one Watcher.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">&#8220;Aye Captain&#8221; A loud WWII submarine <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/u95E__3TSN0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">siren<\/a> could be heard through the ship along with the words brace for Ground contact.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">&#8220;Nice one Watcher. I&#8217;ll bet they are paying attention now.&#8221; She said with a little smile.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">The ship was taken down to Cape Canaveral for a landing. \u00a0Huge clouds formed around the ship as they descended from the atmosphere.\u00a0They seemed to wrap around the spacecraft making their landing more spectacular than it really was. The landing was captured by the press. Some zealots declared it the biblical\u00a0\u00a0Parousia. The second coming. \u00a0Cristian of course downplayed that as nonsense when it was brought up.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">&#8220;Watcher nice landing,\u201d said Lorelei.<\/p>\n<p class=\"numbering-1-western\">\u201cThanks, Captain.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"numbering-1-western\">\u201cAssemble the staff,\u201d said Cristian. \u201cTuseer, Chancellor you will be escorted out in a few minutes. I will need to talk to the press first.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Cristian and his staff walked out of the landing bay and partway down the ramp, where they were met with the hoard of the press, photographers, cameramen, dignitaries and onlookers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cWatcher I think we will need to use the speakers on Lucy and Ethel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cYou are live Cristian,\u201d said Watcher.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cThanks, Watcher turn on shields around the ramp.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cCould I have your attention I will need order and quiet? People of the Federation of Earth. War with the race I have called Lizards, The Reticulans has ended. There was a battle that took place three hundred Light years from here, yesterday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">We will broadcast footage from the battle later today. We liberated the homeworld of a race called the Gray in the process. The Reticulans have removed themselves from all conquered worlds and have returned to their home planet. They are waiting for an address from me.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">I have brought the Leader of the Gray, Chancellor K&#8217;proule here with me today. This ship was a gift from their planet. It was given to my wife. Who is now the Captain of the ship. The ship has been given the Celtic name S\u00e9adhna. I know you will have many questions about the battle of the Reticulans and the Gray. Over the next few days, we will be sending out interviews.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">I have also added a Reticulan Female as part of my staff. Her name is Science Officer Tuseer. She has assured me that she has never been involved in the killing or eating of any sentient being. She is under my care and protection. If anyone on this planet or any other attempts to harm her in any way. I will forget that I am First Leader and take it personally. She is a guest of the Federation of Earth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Please maintain order. I would like to Introduce Chancellor K\u2019proule the leader of the Gray.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">The crowd went silent as the chancellor walked out onto the platform. He lifted his slender Gray hand and waved to the crowd.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cNow I would like you to meet Science officer Tuseer. Be mindful of what I said.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cCallahan, Alfred watch for danger,\u201d he said over the comms.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Tuseer walked out on the ramp slowly. The crowd was silent and respectful as Cristian asked. There were no boo&#8217;s or cat calls, just silence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cCallahan take them back inside.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cI would like to acknowledge NASA&#8217;s Support. Charles thank you for your help and the help from the leaders of the Federation of Earth. Most of all I would like to thank the people of Earth for your support. And many thanks to My staff and my wife, Captain Lorelei Wolf. Good night.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Cristian sent Alfred over to get Charles to bring him on board.\u00a0The ramp was retracted and the landing bay doors closed once he was on board.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cCristian it is never boring around you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cI will take that as a compliment Charles.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cCharles, how do you feel about Tuseer?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cIf you say she is okay that&#8217;s good enough for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cGood what about the President, where is he?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cHe is aboard Air Force One on his way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cGreat. Tuseer would you like to give Charles a tour of my wife\u2019s ship.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cSure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cCristian why did they give it to Lorelei?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cI guess so that it would stay in the family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cAhh, I understand elections looming.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cYou are a smart man Charles.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cMy money and backing are on you Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cThat might mean your job if I lose. How do you know I am running?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cBecause it is the only answer that makes sense. Maybe I could apply for a position here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cYou don\u2019t ever have to worry about a job.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">&#8220;Shall we go Charles it\u2019s a big ship\u201d asked the new science officer?<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cCertainly Tuseer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cTuseer how many crew would a ship like this carry?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cWe used to have over seven hundred on board.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cHow fast will she go?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cTuseer, answer him on general terms. We still have an unidentified enemy on this planet.\u201d Cristian said over the internal interface.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cUnderstood Cristian\u201d She answered back through the comm system.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cRaguel take Uriel and pick up everyone at the cave and bring them here. Have them bring food and guns?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cUnderstood we are on our way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">The President arrived outside the ship. Cristian walked down the ramp escorted by Lucy and Callahan, who still looked like a biker in a suit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cMr. President.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cCristian you beat the lizards?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cBetter than that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cWhat could be better?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cI will tell you on board.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cHow many men do you have with you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cSix Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cIf you wouldn&#8217;t mind bring two if you are nervous and send the rest out to watch the perimeter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cI am not nervous at all Cristian they can all stay out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cI will send Lucy out with them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">They entered a large room that was the Captain&#8217;s Quarters.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cWould you mind sending me images so I can see what happened?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cNot at all, Mr. President.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">The President saw the images recorded. Cristian had followed Raguel and Uriel out to the Gray homeworld only to find them guests of the Lizards. They knew everything about Earth&#8217;s defences. As the Nordics left the lizard ship he had Watcher use the back door he built into the ship&#8217;s operating system to take over the Ascalon. Cristian fired all the Ascalon&#8217;s weapons at the Lizard ship and destroyed it. Then he sent a message to the Gray with images of a scorched world. He told them that he would use the scorcher to destroy their planet unless they surrendered in five seconds. He knew that if he defeated the Gray he would earn the leadership of the Lizards.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Then Cristian told the President how he threatened the Lizards with a scorcher that he said was ready to destroy their homeworld in the past. He declared to them that none of their conquests would ever happen. The LIZARDS gave in and declared Cristian their leader. Then he dispatched them and all others back to their homeworld to wait for an address from him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Cristian asked to have two ships sent to the surface. He met the leader of the Reticulans along with the Leader of the Gray. Knowing that the Lizards were a warrior race he executed the one that claimed he was in charge. Then Cristian took charge of the rest. He kept one ship and sent the rest home.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cHoly shit Cristian. You bluffed and won the war, you have big balls.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cIt wasn&#8217;t a bluff. I had no choice. I had to act Mr. President. Officially Raguel and Uriel were part of a plan to win this battle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cI understand. So the ship belongs to Lorelei?\u201d asked the president \u201cSmart.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cMr. President the Gray told me about a group of enemies here on the planet who are the ones really responsible for our problems through history.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cWhat do you know?.\u00a0Our secret service has suggested as much, but no one has information.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cI have to ask are you affiliated with them?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cNo Cristian I have no direct knowledge or affiliation with anyone like that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cI am unsure if he is telling the truth Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cI apologize Mr. President I had to ask.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cDo you believe me Cristian?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cI trust but need to verify.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cGood we need to find the bastards and root them out. So you are the new Lizard King?\u201d said the President.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cYes, and I hope to never hear that again,\u201d Cristian said laughing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cI will try,\u201d The President said still chuckling.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cI think it&#8217;s time that you meet the leader of Thu-ban and my Reticulan Science Officer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cChancellor and Tuseer could you meet me in the Captains Quarters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cMr. President meets The Chancellor and Science Officer Tuseer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cPleased to meet both of you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cMr. President\u201d was the simultaneous reply.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cTuseer could you find Charles and send him in?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cCertainly First Leader.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cFirst Leader it has been a busy day for me. I would like to rest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">&#8220;Absolutely Chancellor. Have Tuseer find you quarters. What about meals?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cI have meals aboard my ship in the landing bay.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cGood, \u00a0rest easy Chancellor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cCristian I have decided not to run in the elections.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cI think you should remain as First Leader. There will be no doubt that you have anything to do with any secret organization.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cI had hoped not to run against you Second Leader.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cIf anything happens to me.
