Janus landed the boarding craft in the flagships hanger bay, she carefully guided it down, once it was on the deck I felt the whole ship rock.
"What happened?" I said.
"We are engaging the enemy." She said flatly.
"How will you stop them?" I asked.
She shook her head as she lowered the ramp.
"We won't, we are not with out plans, but most likely this offense will fail." She said.
"So we need to retreat." I said.
She looked at me.
"We will hold them in the system until our back up gets here." She said.
"how long will that take?" I asked.
"Not long, no point in avoiding the use of wormholes now." She said
"Janus I am sorry, I had no idea when I was here we had those weapons." I said.
She nodded slowly as we walked down the ramp.
"The timeline the intrepid came from was much more advanced, we have an experimental ship in deep space that we have been working on, it has many of the advanced technologies that we recovered from the old civilization." She said.
"Is that what is coming to help?" I said.
"No, that is our last resort ship, if all fails we have a place to go." She said.
"What do you mean?" I said as she walked me through the hanger bay.
"I mean that if we need to flee this universe we will." She said.
She stopped and looked at me.
"Do you think your government is worth saving? They destroyed Earth, they destroyed our home, do you think there is anything there worth saving." She asked me.
The ship rocked under an explosion and she looked up for a second.
"Don't answer me now Captain, if we survive this battle give me your answer, if things go as my projections show we will be leaving, if you have an answer for me I may be inclined to help your people flee." She said.
I stopped and thought about that, she thought we would have to flee this universe, did my colonies deserve a pass to leave, my knee jerk reaction was no, but I had to think about it.
"I have much to do." She gestured to the end of the hanger.
I saw 10 other ships captains with a drone standing guard next to them, I nodded to Janus and walked toward the other prisoners, there where other drones in the hanger bay but they were occupied with launching more of the attack drones, I nodded to the drone guard and stood with them.
"We should try to escape." Said a captain I did not recognize.
"Two things Captain, they understand english, and You didn't see it?" I asked.
"See what?" He asked, sheepishly looking at the drone guarding us.
"We succeed in destroying their home world, and we managed to open a wormhole like the one they warned us about." I said.
Just than the entire ship shook from some kind of impact, I could feel the thud of the ships weapons firing, the same weapons that had torn apart our fleet.
"You mean all that BS that was in your report?" One of the other captains said.
I nodded.
"I saw the fleet emerge from it, over 200,000 ships came out of that thing." I said.
"Well fine maybe these aliens will do us the favor of destroying each other." The same captain that called my report BS said.
"You better hope these people win, if not those things will pour through our galaxy like a plague, I need to find a console." I said to the drone guarding us.
It nodded to me and gestured for us to follow, it walked us to a console the other captains followed me, obviously thinking I knew what I was doing.
"Janus?" I said looking at the drone.
The drone stopped and looked at me, it tilted its head and seemed to think for awhile.
"Sorry Captain, I have lost over a quarter of my processing power I am having difficulties organizing the fleet movements and the evacuations." The drone said in Janus voice.
I heard a captain or two behind me gasp at the drone speaking.
"Janus, I need access to this terminal to get in touch with my fleet." I said.
"I am sorry Captain, but the aliens seem to be targeting your fleet exclusively, I have positioned my ships to take advantage of this, I recommend you tell them to evacuate the area." She said.

She is sold as a slave but eventually finds freedom and love. This is the sequel to my earlier story, The SHIP, the OASIS, The BOOK, the SLAVE.

The sails were filled...
Proxima Centauri I had done what I could, I had laid out in great detail the enemies defenses and capabilities, I had been called before the President of the Colonies and had told him the same thing, that the enemies defense and offensive capabilities far outstripped ours. I had told them all how they had wanted peace, that they claimed their was a threat to the universe from another dimension, I now was in fleet HQ and a meeting of the Admiralty, the President and key members of the...

I awoke, I couldn't move, I was being carried by what looked like a giant spider, I tried to move my head to look around, I could see I was being carried down a long corridor, it looked to be made out of the same metal as the fighters. The ship must have been huge, we eventually came upon a lift of some kind, the spider entered it, I could feel the movement as we rode the lift for what seemed like several minutes. The lift stopped and the doors opened, I saw some smaller spiders walking the...
Book 5: The Vault's Treasure Chapter One: Dwarf-Queen's Reward By mypenname3000 Copyright 2016 Note: Thanks to B0b for beta reading this. Minx – The Free City of Rartha I padded through the bustling crowd in the market square, my small cutpurse dagger tucked into my palm. It was a ring dagger. Instead of a hilt there was a circle of metal I slipped my pointer finger through. With a flick, I could spin the blade around my finger, slice a purse open, gather the coins with my other...
“These gates are convenient. We traveled in seventy minutes across four galaxies. In an hour, we will arrive at Gromelikine,” said Andrea. “I listened to the conversations the Gromelix King had with Queen Lynas Parayekt. His behavior was abominable. He reminds me of a spoiled child,” said Linda. Jason nodded slowly. He crossed his fingers, placed his elbows on the table and rested his chin on his fingers. He sighed. “I think she is ready to throw them out of the Kingdom. They don’t need to...
Stan provided Jason with a large wardroom fitted out for an Admiral. The dogs seemed to be comfortable, and settled in quickly. Stan then sent Jason to medical where the medical pod fitted his implant so that Jason could communicate with the AIs, the people, and the machines. When he returned, the Ship introduced herself: “My name is Ship. Welcome aboard, and I hope you have a good journey. The Empire built me when they built the ship and made us an integrated whole. That integration is...
2502 The C.S.S. Icarus. I sat in the pilots chair of the Icarus; the Colonial fleets most advanced stealth recon ship, every system was designed to avoid detection, it could operate in atmosphere as well as deep space, it was also the smallest starship to be equipped with its own wormhole generator. I activated the pilots chairs impact field, it generated an inertial dampening field around the chair keeping me in place as well as protecting me during space travel. I powered up the ships...
The Governors office The Governor held up her hand to Jacob. "Explain what you mean Jacob." She said. Jacob looked at me. "We first suspected something by his ships registry, Janus went over it with a fine tooth comb, it is a Colonial ship, what ever that means, not Earth gov." He said staring at me. "So the government made some changes?" Jan said. Jacob shook his head. "If that was it I wouldn't be in here, but Janus discovered what they did to the ships A.I." Jacob said. I...
Capture the Flagby Iphigenia-at-Aulis, Copyright 2001, 2003 [email protected]"Get down, Jenny! Somebody's coming!"Shelley and I ducked down behind a fallen tree. I could hear leaves rustling, and an occasional twig snapping, the footsteps coming our way. The voices were guys, talking quietly. We were pretty far into their territory. My heart was pounding. Would they see us?Should we run, or should we stay down and wait for them to pass? This was a game of capture the flag,...
20 July, 1686 Afternoon After discovering the Angry Whore had been stolen Captain Shadrach Bass declared that he would do whatever it took to not only get his ship back but also manage revenge on those that had taken her. Word came to him that the two Blanchart sisters along with the Spaniard girl he had recently auctioned had escaped but he never made the connection between them and his missing ship. His expectations of who had taken the Angry Whore were such that the thought of women...
Day 3 Icarus I floated freely in the ships cabin I was waiting for the generators to spool up for another worm hole jump. I was trying to sleep, but being stuck in the cabin of the stealth ship I expended almost no energy, I was restless. "Why couldn't they have told me this mission would require so much down time, I would of brought some entertainment with me." I said out loud. "I do not know sir, perhaps I could assist with your boredom" The A.I. Responded. The sudden voice...
June 15, 1994, Chicago, Illinois “That’s everything, I think,” I said. “My luggage is in the trunk of the car, I have my passport, tickets, and money, both dollars and yen. I can’t think of anything else.” “I’ll see you in five weeks,” Elyse said, giving me a quick hug. “Did you see they rioted in Vancouver last night because they lost the Stanley Cup?” I chuckled, “Only Canadians would riot when they LOSE the Cup! I did see that on the front page of the Trib. Are we ready?” “Michelle and...
Capture the flag is a game that has been played for many years at Boy Scout's camps around the country, and in fact, it became an annual right of passage from the rank of Tenderfoot to that of a full-fledged Boy Scout. The idea is to form up into two groups of boys, one group with a blue flag and the other group with a red flag. Once the teams have been chosen an adult or a senior Explorer Scout is picked to be the 'general' of one team and then over the next two days and nights the boys try...

Ken looked up at the sound of the chimes at his door. "Enter." Susan walked in and faced Ken and came to attention. "At ease, Commander." "Thank you, Sir," Susan said. Then she continued, "Sir, the NAT's are going in, now." Ken stood up and hit save on his computer pad, saving the document he was working on, "Thank you, Susan, I will be right out." Walking to the huge bay window, he looked down on Pluto as Susan walked out of the room. 'What's down there?' he thought then...

Wednesday, June 9, 1971 I looked at my watch, it was just after midnight. We were moving, but I had no idea how long we had been moving. Or where we were. I remembered crashing on my bed, still fully dressed, when we arrived back onboard the Rowena from our visit to the State Department. I was undressed now, and under the covers. I scanned to check on everyone. Penny was in her room, asleep. Kip and Karla were in the Dining Car, talking. Nicky, Amy, Vickie, and Ileana were all asleep....
1760 The Fall of Montreal The heated battles of the French and Indian Wars were primarily fought in the deep forests and isolated outposts of the exposed English settlers. However, the British eventually brought the fight directly into the heart of the French Colonial Homeland in Canada. The initial assaults on Quebec were fought off but it eventually fell to the English forces in 1759 with much loss of life and property. The key to this success was the prior taking of Fort Niagara by the...
January 30, 1991, Chicago, Illinois “There goes the luckiest man in Iraq,” General Norman Schwarzkopf said as he played a video of a laser-guided bomb destroying a bridge just after a vehicle had crossed it. “Damn!” Elyse exclaimed. “Those videos are amazing, but it’s making this war too much like a damned video game,” I groused. “The damned country is already too ‘gung ho’ for this war as it is.” “But you want us to win, Snuggle Bear.” “Once it started, my only concern is our men and...
“As I see it today, Hitler and Goebbels were in fact molded by the mob itself, guided by its yearnings and its daydreams. Of course, Goebbels and Hitler knew how to penetrate through to the instincts of their audiences; but in the deeper sense they derived their whole existence from these audiences. Certainly the masses roared to the beat set by Hitler’s and Goebbels’ baton; yet they were not the true conductors. The mob determined the theme. To compensate for misery, insecurity,...
Nobody said anything – mainly because nobody knew what to say. Trip was sure that he probably did quite a good fish impression, staring open-mouthed at his son. My son, he reminded himself mentally, before he noticed that everyone was staring at either Lorian or T'Pol, waiting for someone to say something. "Dock your boat, son," Trip said, when he noticed that T'Pol appeared to be shell-shocked. He went over to her and put his hand on her back. In every normal situation she would...

Ken felt the connection close after talking to his mom, and he looked out at the bridge. His thoughts were on his sister who was lying wounded in the Oregon's medical bays. In his gut, he feared the worst because his dad was on the way to the Oregon. Looking around the flag bridge his eyes settled on Susan at the com station. He asked, "Susan any word on NAT team one?" "No, Sir. Nothing. NAT team two is going down now, they are going to have to re-bore the hole and see if they can get...
'The Leader' looked out over the city, and smiled. It had taken many years to ensure that the city fell, and the inhabitants would come to worship him as a saviour to the people, and the plan had worked well. A cough behind him, he turned to face his second in command - Darius. This was a man who knew exactly how far he could go before the leader would stop him, and had many times with just a word. Darius spoke in a mocking tone -"They await outside Leader, a delegation to announce...
The alleged accident that killed General Patton at the end of World War Two was a terrible awakening to the American people that suddenly they had lost the most outspoken critic of the Soviet Union and the dictator Joseph Stalin taking the place of Hitler and his Nazi goons as the primary threat to continuing peace in Europe. He had plenty of critics for his outstanding views on politics and the world around us but he was one hell of a combat commander and inspired deep loyalty in his...
The estate was an impressive, imposing, and surprisingly large underground complex that filled a huge cavern, with a dim looking pseudo-sun in the centre. The cavern was so large Jason was sure the whole of Manhattan Island could fit in it with ease. They walked along the stone path that was lined with grey/brown foliage none of which Jason could recognize. The plants looked like a cactus with thick oddly shaped leaves and a conical stem that was about two feet tall. There were trees that...
“I am excited to be back here again. But I also did enjoy the weekend very much Jason. It was very relaxing on the estate and I was surprised how pleasant the Destroyer women are. They are much older than I expected and very experienced. “I don’t know how you managed to persuade Pleb to locate herself on Mars and manage her growing war academies colleges and universities from here,” said Ooryphyon. “Many from the Collective are very bored and I don’t think it was difficult to persuade her...
Jason and Philippa returned early the next morning to have breakfast with Ouma Chatzke. “Jason I do agree with your hypothesis. I suspect yesterday went some way towards its validation. I would not bother researching it while you are at University, the validation will occur nevertheless,” Ouma Chatzke said. “You know mother, sometimes you are really obscure, and I don’t understand what you are talking about!” Philippa said. “Jason, I assume you do understand me?” Ouma Chatzke asked...
I stood looking out at the crater, it must have been 20 miles across at least, I could see wreckage scattered everywhere. I kind of laughed to myself, I guess I could tell fleet command that the Dauntless was no longer a threat. Coral stood next to me looking out at the hole, she leaned on the railing that protected people from falling in. "It was decided to keep this here, so we wouldn't forget the threat of the aliens, if janus had not stopped the A.I. Adam the aliens would of taken this...
Coral and I spent the first part of the next day in bed, I missed two of my scheduled tours, Coral told me at some point she had talked to Janus and explained that I would go to them later. Coral cooked for me and I tried some of the local flavor, all in all it was very good, we went to a local part near her place were I watched children playing with her, I saw a mother with five children all of the same age. "Are all those kids hers?" I asked. Coral blushed a bit, it was hard to read her...

Federation Fleet The Washington led her fleet towards the captured Space Docks where they circled the Earth, at five hundred thousand miles. Ken stood on the flag bridge with his wives and watched the American ships maneuvering in front of them. "Admiral, the American fleet is joining up. They have fifteen destroyers and four light cruisers," Lieutenant Jinnah Chin reported. "Thank you lieutenant, we will stick with the plan," Admiral Tammy Thompson said. "Yes, Ma'am. I am sending...
“No arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women.” - Ronald Reagan Jason left the meeting with Ixal, Lisirra and Corvus. He was joined by Julia, Perdita and Razza along with Kalalal and his team. They met with the excited Gromelix and went for a flight together for half an hour before they climbed into an assault frigate to fly to the updated Battleship waiting outside the asteroid. “Your ship looks huge next to...
Despite understanding Trip's explanation for his banishment from Buran Malcolm did the (in his opinion) logical thing the next day and ignored the request to stay away. Fighting his way through the crowded corridors of his ship he began to understand though, why Trip wasn't so keen on letting him see the carnage. Just about any panel that could be opened was actually open with either a human or Vulcan head stuck in it, surrounded by cables, pipes and engineering tools. It didn't really...
Introductions were made and most everyone was seated. They were short one chair. Pappy elected to lean against the wall rather than get an extra chair from his or BB's apartments in the barn. He wanted to know what was going on and wouldn't take a chance of missing something. Though he loved Sean, he still wasn't completely comfortable with this Wizard business and controlling the animals. Sean was sitting in a highchair beside Seth. Martha's motherly manner settled everyone and even...
At some point I must have drifted off. I awoke still on the gurney in the alien ships med-bay. I had to escape, I had to get a message to feet command, I had to let them know what horrors where out here, I didn't even know where to begin, the Dauntless had found some alien technology and used it to build an army. The people must all be slaves to the A.I., they too looked to have been modified by the alien technology. I got off the gurney looking around the room, I couldn't find anything to...
Proxima Centauri The human fleet had been destroyed, they had put up a strong fight, using all its resources it had taken 2 days of fighting but in the end the alien fleet had only been reduced to 1400 ships, they were beginning to move in to attack and destroy the colony, at fleet HQ it was chaos, no one knew what to do, the colony was about to fall. There was no other alarm that could go off as all were already blaring, in the streets of the colony the citizens watched the sky as the...
It all happened on a morning when I was a little late in my daily outing. Fast walking down the trail I came to the little bridge over the first stream I always passed in my daily jaunt. I was approaching at my usual speed of about four miles an hour. Not too fast but fast enough to please my doctor. He wanted me to do at least twenty minutes of aerobic exercise everyday. I did him one better and did forty minutes. It was good for me. I'd been walking since the wife and I had moved to our...
It was five, miserable days of walking through the early fall rain to reach Amaranthine, and by the time we did, every single thing I owned was soaked. The Vigil was as ugly as I remembered from Awakenings, and worse than I’d imagined it. The walls around it sort of ... sagged, obviously in major need of maintenance, and the gate couldn’t even be closed, never mind barred, the wood warped and cracking. I didn’t care at that moment, however; the main building was more-or-less waterproof, I...

Federation Fleet Ken stood on the flag bridge of the USS Washington and watched the gate open for his ship. Looking at his wife Jessica he said, "Okay, let's find out what is going on." "Yes, Sir. We are dropping out in three ... two ... one ... Now!" The Washington dropped out of fold. The two assault cruisers, Grizzly and Orca, and the seven destroyers were flanking her. The destroyers spread out in a half circle to protect the three ships. Sensors came online and flashed their...
“Now, tell me what the hell is going on,” Marco said. “What is Tir a Tir? We’re supposed to be looking for Tir Yadar!” He’d been crankier than usual ever since getting stabbed. “We are,” Ellerie replied. She’d refused to speak openly while they were still out on the streets, so Josip had found an inn that had enough rooms for everyone, plus a private dining room for the group to get together. “We have a good idea of the route to Tir Yadar, but we didn’t know where to begin. Now we do. Tir a...
About two weeks after Jervis Bay came to Earth orbit, she was joined by Sancho Panza. The headquarters Aurora, Blue Light, followed in another two weeks. The team began working with their primary ship, Jervis Bay, in orbit near the District 17 Aurora, Blue Light. While the designs and tactics were well along, it was still a development period. This period included additional tradeoffs of positioning functions on the Minuit-class ships, their pods, and their small craft. Terry's household...
“How are you doing Mary?” John asked. “We are doing fine sir.” The seating was something you would find on a first-class commercial jet. Head rest and the ability to stretch out. Sam went to sleep first, then the boys. They had done their job. The boys had gotten Mary her coffee and cookies from the replicater. Complete with napkins. When plates and napkins were done, they went back into the replicater and with the door closed and a pink button pushed, all the refuse disappeared being stored...
The other disguised Freespace operations unit turned out to be a Togar Claw ship. A truly ancient tech level six Togar warship that had the stylized form of a lion’s paw, at least that is how Shaka described it and it was 600 meters long. At first we actually went to battle stations but the Togar female identified herself as Captain Roranak of the NAVINT X Fleet and on the same special communications equipment we had and was exclusive to NAVINT. We met aboard her ship, officially named...
"Our" freighter AIs were confident that the warship's AI understood our environmental needs, and we would find breathable Earth-normal air at 1000 millibars pressure: about 21% oxygen, about 2% water vapor and other minor components, the rest nitrogen. We should have a 1 g gravity field, Earth-normal lighting and 25 degrees Celsius ambient temperature, radiation levels below a standard that they had come up with for several of their species, and a noise and vibration level below some...

Two Intelligence Corp psychology officers strode down the corridor and knocked on the commanding officer's door, one Grojan and one human. "Come in." The base commander, Major James Evans, sounded weary. The doctor sighed, opened the door and stepped into the commander's office. The commander looked up. Yes?" "We have a problem with Captain Fuller, sir." The commander ran his hands through his hair. "Dear God, that's all I need on top of everything else." The human doctor made a...
American Fleet The Abraham Lincoln turned and started firing into the weakened shields of the Washington. Suddenly the shields failed and explosions detonated from the side of the massive ship. Admiral Callaghan grinned as he watched the ship heave as a dozen antimatter rounds slammed into the side of the battleship and half her weapons went down. "Keep hitting them. Blow those bastards away!" Mathew said with glee in his voice. "I am sir, do you want me to pull their teeth so we can...
DMZ, Korean Peninsula: 1-17-05, 05:19 A.M. Sojang (Major-General) Hyun Li raised his binoculars and looked across the DMZ at the American and South Korean forces, as the sun slowly rose over the landscape. Picking up the phone, he gave the order he had been waiting for thirty years, to give. "Fire." Up and down the DMZ, eight thousand artillery pieces and twenty-four hundred multiple missile launchers raised their barrels from hidden weapon emplacements while three thousand aircraft...
The Federation battleship USS Washington: 1:50 P.M. Jessica handled the ship as though she was born to do it. The ship was shrugging off the enemy fire and her weapons were firing at the Washington D.C. shield trying to take it down. Turning her head she smiled at her husband and wife as the status reports came in from the fleet. "Enemy shield down to 36% power," reported Lieutenant Akiko Fujimoto. "Thanks, Akiko. Keep up the pressure," Tammy said just as Jessica screamed and the ship...
When breakfast was done, the Taylors went to the lower deck where the 223’s were parked. The side door had just been opened and Bull Dog and the other pilots were in their planes. Sam was standing by the chairs where the shield team would sit. Most of the shield team was standing with Sam watching the 223’s. “Well, I see you didn’t fall overboard.” John shook hands with his assistant. Jenny gave Sam a hug, “At least not more than once.” “No, sir! I see the Marines are still watching your...
