Chapter 7 HOW TO STOP A NOVA
ОглавлениеDerek met with Captains Kester, Young, Turozski, Chung, Crighton and Ryker in the quantum forest because the pool area was crowded. He told everyone to find a chair as he sat down on the ground. Everybody followed suit, and he said, "Something new has come up and I need one volunteer for a simple mission." Everybody but Derek raised their hand in the air.
Derek said, "Alright Nick, initiation time; cowboy up. According to our new friends, our enemy shoots something called a nova-bomb into the sun of any world that kicks their asses."
Creighton asked, "Which enemy is that, Sir?"
The Admiral answered, "The Leonsians appear to be sore losers, but you are right, we have too many enemies."
Chung inquired, "But I thought we got them all, Sir?"
Derek said, "Did we…? We only scan from our world out and so does ED. The Lexington went missing, but I'm sure ED didn't care with all of their new ships. So what if one did get by them?" He let that sink in and then said, "We have to make sure, and we are too far out for communications." He had thought about leaving buoys from there to Earth in case that happened again.
Young said, "Those Basteroids wouldn't, would they?"
Derek said, "We can't take that chance. Nick, you will leave this time tomorrow. We are going to have to do some things to your ship or you'd go right now. You won't be alone. Tim Johnson was the volunteer captain from Austen's crew, so you'll have a wingman. He also has the same type ship you do." Nick had picked out a ship already and instantly fell in love with it.
Deana said, "I'm going too." She knew Derek was going to give her a hard time about it, but she wasn't going to give in.
Derek said to her, "No, you are not."
She said, "Oh yes I am and you can't stop me." And there was veiled malice in her tone.
Derek could, by keeping her from having a wingman, because it was a rule on the ship. They weren't arguing but the guys thought they were going to. Nick said, "She doesn't trust me."
Deana countered with, "It doesn't have anything to do with that. My mother is on Earth too. I'm going," She was raring to go even if she had to use emotional blackmail.
The fake sky was getting darker, and Derek knew that Deana was causing it. He thought he had her so he asked her, "What about a wingman, Captain?"
She pulled out her smart phone and pushed a button. A second later she said into the phone, "Hello, Captain SSSaa, the Leonsians are going to blow up Sol killing everybody on Earth. I leave this time tomorrow and I'm in need of a wingman. You in?" She waited a moment and said, "Thank you so much; see you soon." She put her phone away and smiled smugly at Derek.
Derek was curious and asked, "Well, what did he say?"
She said, "SSSSSSSSSSSSS…" As everyone was laughing, she joined in laughing, and the sky grew brighter.
Then she asked Captain Chung if she would be her pilot. Lee looked to the admiral for permission.
He nodded yes and said to Lee, "I'll just have the Turtle fly your ship while you are away." They all stood up to leave and Derek told the two volunteers to pick out their crews and grab some Nano-droids.
As everybody started to leave, Derek repeated that some things would have to be added to the four ships. Deana said to him privately, "Alright… By the way, was that our first fight?"
He said, "I hope not; that means I'll lose every time we fight."
She kissed him and left for the Q-bay. As she walked away she intentionally swung her hips in a sexy manner while Derek watched. She said to him behind her back, "You're a winner, Honey. Make up sex tonight or rather in the morning, Baby." He was thinking that the pleasure was all his.
In the morning, Nick and Deana were still getting their ships ready for the mission and picking out Nano-droids. They both selected twenty JR Nano-bots each, because they were quick and strong and very intimidating.
Derek had turned the Turtle over to Austen, and he was knocking on Deana's door. Lynn Jackson opened the door wearing only a bottomless "teddy." Derek said, "Wow, you look great! Deana's having you over again? He was looking at her dark elegant curvaceous features. He thought she was truly exotic, and he knew she was erotic.
Lynn said, "She said something about make-up sex, and I've been thinking about that throughout my shift and nothing else" As he talked with her he entered, and Lynn shut the door behind them. She asked him if he wanted anything to drink but he declined. She grabbed his hand and led him to Deana's bedroom saying that he would definitely need something to drink. Toni was there wearing the bottom half of the "teddy," and she was lying on the far side of the bed with her right hand holding her head above the pillow. She gave him a modest wave hello. She had been looking forward to this so much.
Lynn lay down on the nearest side of the bed. She said with her backside exposed to him, "Deana said for you to join us and that she would feel you on her ship. She said for you to get used to it until she was back in your arms again." His own beleaguered senses could only take so much.
Toni said, "I got closer to Deana just like you suggested. Are you going to get closer to us?" Both ladies got on all fours next to each other in bed looking as sexy as they could at Derek. Toni was slowly licking her lips.
Derek was getting out of his suit and he said, "When in Rome…"
Deana was onboard her ship in the Q-bay sitting in her captain's chair when she felt a kiss on her lips and her whole body started to tingle. She stood up and said on her bridge, "I'll be in my room, no interruptions."
"Admiral, we're coming up on Kess, Sir. It is night time on the populated continent. I recommend we land as close as we can to both cities," Captain Marcus said to Admiral Foreman.
The admiral told Marcus to land far enough away where they would not be seen, and the captain told his helm to make it so. As they were landing, ten cloaked Caprices uncloaked two hundred feet in the air and surrounding the Trex ship. The admiral cursed luridly and shook his head vehemently.
The Trex ship was in the middle of landing, so they couldn't do anything until they did land. Before all eleven ships hit one hundred feet, all of the Caprices beamed out from the enemy ship anything that could be considered as a weapon.
The commander was screaming, "We are surrounded and every weapon on this ship just disappeared! Even our 'black-box' is gone, so it would be a good guess they know why we're here."
The Admiral screamed too because everything was blowing up on his vessel. "Just land the damn ship. One thing at a time, Commander." The captive Trex captain was pretending to be unconscious, but he was paying close attention to everything that was happening. He already had the makings of a plan to escape once the ship was down.
At seventy feet off the ground, two Caprices opened fire on the Trex ship. They were going for the kill. At forty feet, the Trex ship had no thrusters, no engines, nor even landing gear. It came down hard.
While this was taking place, N-Austen was in his city of Austen commanding the Caprices through his smart-phone. He could not believe ED had come all this way just to kill the Houstons - dumbass Earth Defense!
N-Derek was aware of what was going on, and he wished that there were a big Turtle ship on their planet so he could go chat with ED back at Earth.
The admiral aboard the Trex ship was in the throes of imminent death as he tried to think in some kind of order with the terrified cadence of his breathing coming to an end. His mind gibbered and capered from the inside of his skull as he riffled one last heartbeat and died. His last thought was one of hate for the Houstons.
