I love being able to be political without any political affiliation.<\/strong><\/p>\n Lady Gaga<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n \u201cCristian did you get some sleep?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYes Mr. President. You called.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYes about the Election. It might be a good time to call it while you are high in popularity.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cLarry had the same idea. I have scheduled a conference call for tomorrow afternoon.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe should have a press release ready just before the call and send it out to the world.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThat can be arranged.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHave you changed your mind about running Mr. President?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cNo Cristian you need to be the one.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cGood the election will reveal the enemy.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe need to investigate the people who run against.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe enemy will have to expose themselves to back a candidate.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cGood we will be ready.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWatch for those who approach you.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI promised my wife I would look at the work she is doing on her ship. I have to go. We can touch base later or in the morning.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cLater.\u201d<\/p>\n Cristian made the trip out to the ship.<\/p>\n \u201cWatcher progress report.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAfternoon Cristian. The AI has been vacated. Callahan is housing the programming and he is checking the code.\u201d<\/p>\n Alfred is rewriting the code that has been checked and he has set up a second virtual drive with the new programming. We should be ready for testing tomorrow morning. As for the others, you will have to check on their progress manually. My processors are running at maximum.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI will let you go back to work. I didn’t realize how much I relied on you until you were gone. Don’t damage yourself in this process old friend.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI will take care Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cRaguel do you have a progress report.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cCristian shield output has been doubled, the ship now has cloaking capability, weapons will be done by morning. Nikola has created multiple scorchers mounted to missiles for long-range deployment. He is sure the war is not over with the Lizards. He has kept the information from Tuseer.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cUnderstood Raguel.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cNikola are you making progress?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYes,, Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cPlease send the code to Watcher for your shields, cloaking and weapons systems when you are ready.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI will get it to him soon.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWatcher the Shrike will be ready for test flights next week I should be there to fly it. Lorelei where are you?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe bridge Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI am on my way. Is it pink?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cGirls don’t use those colours, we use Salmon, Chartreuse and a hundred other weird names.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI see, now I am running. Say this looks like a bridge. Helm control, Weapons Console, Sensors, Shatner and Nimoy would be jealous, God rest his soul. The cool stuff happens when I sleep. Is there a gaming console?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cDon’t think that hasn’t been asked already.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cTuseer has been amazing Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI thought she would be.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThank you, Cristian\u201d Came a voice from under a console.<\/p>\n \u201cCristian, The Chancellor has been helping with the planning. He inquired about the main computer being offline. I told him that you were working on it.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWhere is he?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHe is in our version of a ready room off to the left.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cChancellor, you have questions for me?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe main computer is off-line Cristian. I am using one of these primitive units. A laptop I think you call it.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe are searching through the programming looking for malicious code and rewriting it to suit our purposes.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI see, how is that going?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt is taking time.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI could help?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI am sorry Chancellor this is one of those things we have to do ourselves. Feel free to help with anything else.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI understand Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cTell me about the entry points for data in and out of the ship. I would like to sever outside connection to and from the ship.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThat I can help with.”<\/p>\n \u201cExcellent I want the ship to be autonomous. I also want to know how to access the cube you gave us with your knowledge.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHave you changed your mind about it Cristian?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI am not interested in giving it to the people of Earth. I am interested in using the information for this ship.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThat would give you the advantage over most species in the known universe.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAre the computers on this ship powerful enough to carry this knowledge.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWhere can we find the computers we need?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cOn Thu-ban.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cCan you and will you refit this ship with the technology we need?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYes, Cristian we can and will do this.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHow much time do you need?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201c I think thirty of your days and we can finish the refit.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI have a request, something for my wife and me.\u00a0I need a temporary memory wipe for the both of us we will travel to the past and have our baby and live a normal life for a short time.\u00a0No one should know about it.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cRaguel and Uriel should know. You will need someone to take you back.\u00a0We can upgrade Watcher and the mechanicals at the same time we do the ship\u201d said the little Gray Alien.<\/p>\n Cristian’s mind was on the past and he almost missed that statement.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is November 2014. If you take the ship back to your planet you can have it back here for December.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYes we can take Tuseer to overlook the operation, and Stephen and Albert if that will ease your mind.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cLet me talk to them. \u00a0If you could set up the ship to fly by thought and by controls as well. Give Watcher the ability to train the new crew in all the aspects of the ship’s systems and theories to go with it. Can you do something for food storage cooking and housing and recreation I have a feeling we will be spending a lot more time in space?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe can also add a new breed of Fighting ships to outfit your landing bay. Plus we will add some land-based vehicles and troop transports.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWhy are you going to do this Chancellor?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThis universe needs your brand of diplomacy Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI could use a few members of the Gray to add to the crew compliment.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI can arrange that.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWhat will you do about the Reticulan people.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cOnly two answers I see, recruit them or destroy them.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe would prefer the latter.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI know you would, it would be a last resort.\u00a0Tuseer is proof they can change.\u00a0If I can recruit them we will need more ships converted.\u00a0I know you need resources Chancellor.\u00a0I can help you with those.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe do have need of water.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThere are many Ice bearing comets throughout the universe. Give us a way to bring them to you.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI think we can do that.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cGreat when will you take the ship out?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIn three days.\u201d said the Gray.<\/p>\n \u201cLorelei and I will be ready in two days for our holiday. \u00a0Our refit program will remain a secret.\u00a0Everyone is excited about the work they are doing.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI could take everyone back with us.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cSome yes everyone no. Your implant technology has made me a little nervous. Only time and shared experience will remove my doubt.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI understand Cristian it is what makes you a good leader.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI need to go and talk to Lorelei about the plan Chancellor. Will you excuse me?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cCertainly Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cLorelei could we talk maybe in the Captain’s cabin.\u201d<\/p>\n Cristian told Lorelei the plan for her ship and the holiday. \u201cI like the idea of the holiday Cristian. I am not sure if I trust the Gray yet though.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe will have to trust them at some point. I have caught them, not in lies but omissions. I don’t think they are giving us the whole truth about our enemies. I think the Lizards were a cruel ruse. There is more. I am taking all of their upgrades and knowledge because I think we need to. I trust my gut on this. We will not discuss this with anyone Lorelei.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cCristian what have we walked into?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cNot walked into sweetie, rather designed for. You, me and the baby are the weapons, it’s up to us to cleanse the verse.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI just want to make pies and more babies.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou still can, just add kick-ass to that equation.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHuh, I do like kicking ass, I like being the good guys. So let’s take a holiday so I can push out our daughter and then we clean up the verse.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cSee you are the perfect woman for me.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWhat about the work we are doing on the ship now?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cFind out from the Chancellor where we should concentrate our efforts so we don’t duplicate.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThat makes sense. I will get on that Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cMake sure there is room for cats and a nursery. I have a feeling we will be in space a lot. Tomorrow I need to go to Florida for Crew interviews. You can handle refit.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI got it.\u201d<\/p>\n Cristian had a long conversation with Watcher and went over the plan with him. He gave him additional instructions to safeguard the mechanicals. By using some off-line storage and instructions for an Operating System reload if needed. He wished Watcher luck and mentioned that he hoped that everything would work out.<\/p>\n It was decided that Gracie would hold all the offline storage and would be the guardian for the information her processors and storage would have to be upgraded.<\/p>\n Mary would stay behind with Paul and Gracie with the Retribution at the cave in the same time period as Cristian and Lorelei. They would watch over the couple and arrange for their return to the future.<\/p>\n The next day Cristian left for Florida. He sat through a hundred interviews. Watcher approved twenty-five of them. Halfway through the day Cristian and Watcher went home to have the conference call with all the world leaders to announce the elections that would take place in late December just before Christmas. He also announced that he would run in the Election. He also mentioned that his wife was due soon and he would take a few days off when that was about to happen. The second Leader would take over while he was away. All the leaders were happy with that arrangement. Larry released the video meeting of the leaders to the world that announced the upcoming elections and that he would run for the job he already had.<\/p>\n \u201cCallahan I need some paperwork and Ids for 1992. I especially need valid medical cards. Watcher will fill you in with the plan. Discuss it with no one.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI will get working on them.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cMary I need to talk to you and Paul in private.\u201d<\/p>\n He laid out the plan with her and Paul who both agreed, that they would play the parents they already were on the holiday and watch over both of them. A new house and vehicles would have to be bought when they arrived, on the other side of Kamloops.<\/p>\n TEMPUS TWO CHAPTER FOUR I love being able to be political without any political affiliation. Lady Gaga \u201cCristian did you get some sleep?\u201d \u201cYes Mr. President. You called.\u201d \u201cYes about the Election. It might be a good time to call it while you are high in popularity.\u201d \u201cLarry had the same idea.
