Maverick: I’ll hit the brakes, he’ll fly right by.<\/strong><\/p>\n Top Gun<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Cristian flew out to the new ship that didn’t look anything like the old ship. This ship wasn’t the boxy ship that he left behind.<\/p>\n The new ship had smooth lines. Almost Turtle shell-shaped. It had been painted gloss white with a huge version of the Wolf Alliance Logo Painted on the side. The ship’s name was also painted near the bow. Cristian produced another rare tear when he saw her.<\/p>\n \u201cCall the ship and get permission to board Watcher.\u201d<\/p>\n The answer came as video images. \u201cWelcome home sweetie.\u201d<\/p>\n Cristian could see Lorelei in a new uniform. This one was white \u201cCaptain Wolf permission to board?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cGranted First Leader.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cShe is beautiful Lorelei.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cCristian we have a full crew.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cCan’t wait to meet them.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cCristian we all saw the flybys of the fighters very impressive, the world is celebrating.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI will see you in a few, Lorelei I am just passing through the force field.\u201d<\/p>\n As the door was lowered he could see the soldiers still wearing the Black Armour and uniforms were standing at attention on each side of the walkway. As he walked through the men they saluted the First Leader. Everyone was there Albert, Stephen, Nikola, Mary, Paul, the scientists. Larry, Tiffany and the entire ship’s compliment. The landing bay was filled with new aircraft.<\/p>\n There were armoured vehicles and troop carriers. Near the end of the procession, a podium was set up. There were three Gray waiting.<\/p>\n Cristian took the podium and took a long look around at the crew and the ship. Then he started another unprepared speech. Some things didn’t change.<\/p>\n \u201cNever has a moment like this come before and never will it happen like this again. Today we start a new era. In the spirit of cooperation between different species and planets united together to further the cause of justice for all who live in the universe that seek our help, we will be there. We will fight all who enslave, all who would harm, and all who would exert control over other species. We are their first line of defence. We fight for them\u201d<\/p>\n The applause and cheering came from everyone in the landing bay. The speech was broadcast to two entire planets.<\/p>\n There would be no election just an acclamation from the people from Earth and from Thu-ban. Cristian Wolf had just become the First Leader of a Federation of Planets. A number of planets including Mars, 3. Now they would travel to the Reticulan homeworld not to destroy not to enslave but to free them.<\/p>\n \u201cHusband you caused my eyes to leak a little.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cJust said what needed to be said wife.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cNice outfits I see even my daughter has armour very cool.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHow many lives on Board Captain?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cOver seven Hundred First Leader, Including Fighter pilots Soldiers and children.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI need to see the Chancellor Sweetie?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cChancellor could you come down to the Retribution I have something for you.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cCristian what do you have?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cFirst I have these\u201d He handed him sketches of a dead Gray.<\/p>\n \u201cFrom Aurora?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYes, I have more in the ship.”<\/p>\n The Chancellor looked inside and saw the body of a fallen Comrade. \u201cCristian I don’t know what to say.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI have retrieved the ship fragments and cleaned the scene of all toxins. The ship was taken down by weapons fire, more advanced than anything ever described,\u00a0You need to tell me everything right now. If you lie or omit I will make sure your people know and my planet knows that you lied to them.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWhat of Raguel and Uriel?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI picked them and the Ascalon up. They are at the cave with your ship fragments. You lied about your ability to travel. I will only warn you once don’t ever lie to me again. Don’t ever risk my people again. You do not want me as an enemy.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cNo Cristian I do not.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI will tell you everything. The Reticulans were created as warriors.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThat much is obvious, now tell me why. Who is the real enemy?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThey are the most ruthless species we have ever encountered. They gather resources and technology then they destroy everything in their path. They know about Earth.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou sent the Lizards to Earth.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYes, Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThey were not supposed to harm anyone there.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThey were manipulated by some of your own people.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI need to know who and right now.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI will give Watcher a list.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cCan our weapons match theirs?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThey can now.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cCan we take over the ships the Reticulans have in their possession?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHow many ships?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThirty.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHow long will it take you to convert them?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI think we can do that in 60 days Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cChancellor please make arrangements for your comrade.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWatcher do you have the list? I want to see it.”<\/p>\n \u201cYes, Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cLorelei I need to scramble a dozen fighters. I need one for myself.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHave Watcher update your skills. I knew you would want one. Have the fight deck team take you to your new ship.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou are such a thoughtful wife Lorelei.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWatcher\u201d Cristian was updated on the specs and given instructions on how to fly it.<\/p>\n \u201cThanks.\u201d<\/p>\n Cristian was taken to his fighter and he noticed that his name and a knick name were painted under the canopy. So now they call me Wolfman. He liked the nickname. The fighters all had the Wolf Logo on the sides.<\/p>\n He walked around the ship he noticed a name on the other side. Lt. Nelly Cantor. Her call sign was Vampire.<\/p>\n \u201cCharles is that you?\u00a0Isn’t this a step down from NASA?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cNo sir I want to be out where the fight is?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cExcellent\u201d He shook his hand.<\/p>\n A small dark-skinned woman maybe 5 feet high walked up and shook the First Leader’s hand.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cKumusta ka Vampire?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cMabuti Wolfman.\u201d<\/p>\n The launch alarm sounded. The flight deck was cleared.<\/p>\n \u201cLaunch fighters\u201d Was the command that came over the interface.<\/p>\n \u201cTake her out Vampire.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cSir\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cForm up tight V on Wolfman.\u201d Said Vampire.<\/p>\n \u201cWhere to Wolfman?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWatcher where is the President?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cOval Office Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cVampire take us to White House West Wing, Cloaked Silent Hover over the front lawn.\u201d<\/p>\n They arrived outside the White House Invisible and silent.<\/p>\n \u201cWatcher Get the President private comms.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cMr. President how are you doing with the enemies on Earth.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe have a list of possibles.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI have a complete list.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHow did you get that?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt makes no difference.\u00a0The list is being broadcast right now.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou can’t do that.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWhy ?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cMy name is on the list.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt wasn’t but is now.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHow long have you suspected me Cristian?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAll along Mr. President.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWhat do you want me to do?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI want you to pick up everyone and jail them. ADXMAX within the hour.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI can’t do that.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAll ships visible Vampire.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cMr. President please look out the window.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHoly Shit Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThese fighters are faster and meaner than the Earth Defence Force Ships.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cBetray your friends or betray the people of Earth your choice.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cInvisible Vampire.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou will not be mentioned, Mr. President. You will run the planet and never again will you betray its people. Do you understand? \u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI understand. I will give the order.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cVampire take us over to New Mexico.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWatcher get the Spaceport on comms.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cGo ahead Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThis is the First Leader I am looking For Richard.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHe is here.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cPermission to land.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cTo land what? we show nothing on Radar.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cVampire Make us visible.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHoly Shit First Leader.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cLand in front of the Main Building.\u201d Said the control tower operator.<\/p>\n \u201cRoger First Leader out.”<\/p>\n \u201cRichard.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWhat are these?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI don’t think we have a name for them yet.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThey are faster than what you built, these were built by the Gray.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThey are beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWill we get the specs and blueprints?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI will make sure of it. I just wanted to show you that and more. Watcher send him the pictures of the ship\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHoly shit Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI wish I could get paid for every time I hear that.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIs it Galaxy Class Cristian?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYes Richard, before you ask I don’t have the Blueprints. I will own thirty more if the recapture goes well.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAre you serious?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cRichard we have a real enemy one that enslaves and leaves destruction everywhere they go. I need crew.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHow many \u00a0will you need?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cMaybe 22000, maybe more.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cTall order.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWhy don’t you follow us up in a Shrike and have a look.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cLet me grab a Co-pilot\u201d They all left the planet and headed for the ship.<\/p>\n \u201cWolfman, are you going to fly this ship while we are out?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cSure Let’s play follow the First Leader.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cKeep up if you can,\u201d he said to the other fighters.<\/p>\n Cristian headed straight for the canyons on Mars. Five feet off the deck and full throttle. The fighters kept up then he pulled a move right from a movie. He stopped dead in the air and kicked some Martian dust to mask his move while his fighters flew right by.<\/p>\n \u201cPaint them, bloody Vampire.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWhat the hell was that First Leader?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI saw it in a movie once. Take us home Vampire.\u00a0Tonight you and all the fighters can watch that movie.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWatcher contact Raguel, get a progress report.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cSir have long have you been flying these fighters?\u201d Asked his co-pilot.<\/p>\n \u201cIncluding today?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYes sir.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cFirst time was just now.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHoly shit.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI get that a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cCristian I heard you gave our fighters a little lesson on the way home?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cOld school Charles. Have them watch Top Gun tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cNicely done Cristian,\u201d said Charles.<\/p>\n \u201cThey need to be the best of the best we have a new enemy far more ruthless than anything else in the universe.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cTrain the hell out of them Charles. I need a flight leader that can teach them the old tricks.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cOn it Cristian. I know someone. He will come out of retirement if I ask him.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cGet him here fast we are leaving soon.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cGood to see you, Richard.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cCharles.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cRichard I made a cargo deal with the Gray, I need a company to make routine flights between their Homeworld and Earth. I will also need to bring them Water. Captured comets would be a great source.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAre you kidding?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI would need a Galaxy Class Ship.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe ship would be a rental say at 5% of the profit. We will do the repair and Maintenance. And no reverse engineering.\u00a0You would have to include the other members of the co-op but you run the show. One more clause my Military and The Gray ride for free. Keep to the runs to between our planets until we rid the universe of this new enemy.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cDone do we need Lawyers?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cRichard do we need Lawyers?\u201d They both chuckled at that.<\/p>\n \u201cThe ship will not be ready for a few months. It will be stripped of most weapons. You need to supply the people. I will train them for you. I will arrange for a quick tour, then I have to travel if I am to get you a ship. Did I mention I have to steal them back from the Lizards? Keep that to yourself especially when you meet your tour guide.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cTuseer would you mind coming down to the aircraft bay?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cRight away First Leader.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cRichard I need you off my wife’s ship within the half-hour. We are leaving for the Reticulan Homeworld, the destination and the plan are secret.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cTuseer this is Richard would you mind being a tour guide one more time.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cNot at all.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cTuseer is our Science Officer.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cRichard take care.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cCristian you sure keep it interesting.\u201d The two shook hands and parted their ways.<\/p>\n \u201cCristian, Raguel and Uriel can’t fix the Ascalon at the cave.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThanks, Watcher.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cCallahan can you take the Retribution, pick up Raguel, Uriel and the Ascalon. Bring them on board.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cOn my way Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThanks, old friend.\u201d<\/p>\n TEMPUS TWO CHAPTER SIX Maverick: I’ll hit the brakes, he’ll fly right by.
