Escape Pod.
I was still on the floor, I was sort of mesmerized by the changes in my perception, I could feel the movement of the pod as we moved through space, heading for the fleet that had arrived and started attacking the enemy ships. It would seem the momentary distraction had given them the opening to take out some of the larger enemy ships, I knew all of this with my new senses, instinctively I could feel the hybrid ships, I could feel what the ships sensors read, I almost couldn't think with all the information.
// "Easy Captain, it will take time to adjust." I heard Jans voice in my head.
// "Captain it will take time to adjust." I heard Janus voice almost at the same time.
What the hell had they done to me, I flexed my fingers and watched amazed as my nails peeled into the floor of the pod.
"What the hell have you done to me?" I said.
"Anthony, we needed to mask the human presence on the pod otherwise the aliens would of found us in the debris field. We didn't think about the nanites, the other captains didn't have them so the process was simple, you however had nanites that had fought the change, Jan had to override them and adjust the changes to in corporate them, not only do you have the alien microbes you have your original nanites." Coral answered me.
I looked up from my position to see the other ship captains still sedated in their beds, I could tell from my connection to the hive mind that they still slept, I could also feel a connection with Jan and Jacob, it was all very strange, I looked at Coral she stood back from me, I could sense the concern in her.
"Is that why I can hear Jan and Janus in my head?" I asked.
I saw everyones eyes widen, Jacob just looked hostile to me.
"I can also sense the aliens as well as Janus's ships." I said.
Jan shook her head.
"We never tried combining the two technologies Anthony, I don't know what happened, the closest we have come is Janus, but she was never a human, she was a combination of the golems and the aliens, you are something new." Jan said
I slowly stood, getting my bearings, it was a lot to take in.
"I sensed the enemies mind, I was in its head." I said.
Jacob nodded.
"Janus has been getting probed by their hive since the wormhole opened, she said that stopped when the virus ran its course in you." Jacob said.
I rubbed my hand over my face.
"Its all very confusing, I can feel the enemy in my head, I sense their fleet, I also sense our fleet, its too much information, I am having a hard time taking this all in." I said.
Coral walked up to embrace me, she held on tight, it felt good to hold her in my arms.
"Anthony it will be okay, the fleets here we will make our retreat soon to regroup." Coral said.
"This might be used to our advantage Anthony." Janus's voice came over the intercom.
"What happen to the human ships Janus?" I asked.
"Two made out, the rest are gone." Janus said.
I nodded, when I tried to focus on the information I was getting I could almost make out the individual movements of all the ships on the battlefield, the alien fleet alone was massive and I was getting dizzy from trying, coral moved me to sit back on the gurney.
"Janus I don't know how useful this will be, its very hard to focus." I said.
"I have never seen an adult go through the process, we are born this way, I don't know how long it will take to get used to." Coral said.
"I remember the process, it took me weeks to recover, and I did not go through half of what Anthony is." The Governor said.
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...
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...

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,...

'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...
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...
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...

“They’re on our right, they’re on our left, they’re in front of us, they’re behind us; they can’t get away from us this time.” – Chesty Puller The gym was huge and was one of two hundred on campus. It comfortably accommodated ten thousand students. Along the back-wall, AIs attended to registrations. Each group was allocated two instructors. They introduced themselves as Uzliumbax AI instructors and said they developed the exercise routines and led martial arts training. Jason was bumped...

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...
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...

“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...
“After breakfast, I would like all of you to come up to command central and have a look at an astounding object the sensor operators have found,” said Andrea chewing her almond croissant with relish and sipping a cup of coffee. “I am going up in five minutes and I would strongly recommend you do not delay and as a result miss what they have found.” Andrea would not respond to any questions and led everyone up to command central where there were five sensor operators working and manipulating...
“Jason, you will be fully conscious during the trans-dim power infusion. You will not feel any different,” said the doctor. “The alien is talking telepathically to me; do you want to hear what it is saying?” Jason saw Mergal, who decided to wait with Jason, was listening intently. “Why not?” said Jason, “I have nothing better to do while we wait. I may get some sort of explanation.” “Listen doctor, I know you are busy out there. I know what you are thinking! You leave me alone or you will...
“So are you going to tell me what happened yesterday?” Corec asked Bobo the day after the battle, as the two men loaded weapons from the armory into the hand-drawn carts their attackers had used for carrying supplies. It had been a busy morning. They’d moved their camp again at first light, farther away from the bodies, and then Razai had shown up a short time later saying she’d tracked eleven of the mercenaries east before scaring them off. Then, Boktar, Sarette, and Josip had left to...
Intrepid City Hospital. I looked at the woman, tilting my head, I was the only true human in this cesspool. "So no one else is normal here?" I asked furrowing my brow. She raised an eyebrow at that. "Is anyone really normal?" She asked. "I guess not, what I mean I am the only human?" I asked. She shook her head. "We are all human Sir, we just have some enhancements" She said getting a far away look for a moment. "Your file states you have nanites, our genetic enhancements are...

As the movie Road Trip swung through its first couple of weeks in top movie houses across the country, Cricket’s book made a huge splash in the publishing marketplace. Dave had to laugh. The movie was getting rave reviews from the critics, such as the top number of tomatoes, stars, cookies and other attributes to imply a strong recommendation to the public to see the movie. The movie brought in about three hundred million its first weekend in theaters; more than enough to cover the cost of...
Hildra finally looked up from her intense examination of the sword, removing the strange eyepiece she’d worn. The black faded from her eyes as she ended her arcane sight spell. “There is a warding spell outside of the attunement,” she said, “but not for wardens. It’s looking for a specific type of mage.” “What do you mean?” Corec asked. “Some arcane mages have a natural affinity for certain spells. Even wizards, who can learn any spell they want, will build up that sort of affinity over...
Corec followed as Treya led the group up the wide stone steps that stood before the ducal palace. It was just him and the four women. They’d left Bobo and Boktar behind, but had decided that everyone who was affected by the runes should be present. The main entrance to the duke’s palace was to the left of the ceremonial entrance, but was actually the larger of the two. There were three sets of double doors open to accommodate all the people going in and out. The guards who were standing...
Shavala accompanied the group that went back into the mountain, but peeled away when they reached the palace. She wanted to pay another visit to the room with the glowing mushrooms and moths, to take notes on the unusual lifeforms for her book. When she got there, though, she discovered to her dismay that the moths were lethargic, hardly showing any interest in the mage-light lantern she carried. Most didn’t even leave their perches. She set the lantern down so she could slip a finger...
Intrepid City. Education District. Coral had surprised me, I had thought we would go to another important monument, or some military base something that would impress upon me the advanced technology of this place, instead she had took me to the education center of the city, and like most college areas the universe over it was ripe with bars and night clubs on the outskirts. She had brought me to a standard college pub, and despite the difference in the genetics it would appear that college...
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...
I awoke strapped to a gurney of some kind, my whole body hurt, I tried to move my head but I couldn't, I could see that I was in a small ship of some kind, there was a port right above my head that I could see stars, there was debris everywhere, I tried to talk but couldn't, I made a groaning noise. "your awake?" Corals voice said. I Felt her grab my hand. "Mmmh mmmhh shhd?" I tried to speak. "Don't speak, your jaw is broken, you also have a fracture in your skull." She said, I...
Deep Space. I blacked out, the acceleration had caused me to faint, I came to floating in the debris field, it was an amazing sight, all that destruction, I couldn't help it, there was a strange beauty to it all, the other thing that got me was did not need to breath, it felt like I was holding my breath for a really long time, it was not uncomfortable just odd. My eyes could make out fine detail in space, I could see the alien ships floating dead in space, I could sense they had lost...
Two days after the 'incident', Bravo 6 was deployed to Tizer — well that is as close a pronunciation as we could make of the name of the town. I say 'Bravo 6', but Big Ben and #1 section, accompanied by Danko the Bosnian Serb interpreter, were actually in Split, where the HQ of British forces in Bosnia was situated, as well as the HQ of the UN observers. A full blown UN inquiry had been launched into the 'incident' at the behest of Yugoslavia/ Serbia, and Russia. This was a blatant...
THREE DAYS LATER SPARTA "It is truly beautiful here Martin." Tarifa spoke softly. They walked along the garden path within the walls of Martin's villa above Sparta. The day was warm but a cool breeze through the mountains from the east was lazily blowing across the land. Tarifa wore a loose fitting ankle length gown of light blue with a seductive cut down the middle of her abdomen that highlighted her tanned skin and firm breasts. Walter had created the elves here on Earth to not be shy...
The wig pulled at her hair and Varna resisted the temptation to just pull the ridiculous thing off. As for the gown she was wearing ... Minara had insisted she wear it as it accentuated her figure. Luckily or unluckily for Varna she was practically the same size as Minara so she fitted her gowns without any alteration. She looked down at herself, and with a sigh sat back against the carriage seat. She had a naturally slim figure, but the gown pushed up her breasts so they looked twice their...
Court "Commander Amy Thompson, by a count of 7 to 0 we, the court, find you guilty of all charges. You are sentenced to death and the destruction of your capsule and your ship," Sandi said as she looked at the woman. Amy's knees buckled and she collapsed to the floor, and muttered quietly, "my baby. Don't kill my baby, oh God please don't let them kill my baby." "This court will reform inside the capsule room of the USS Washington's primary interface and initiate the destruction...
POW CAMP 2 1-14-05 Thirty-nine year old Sergeant Sandra MacEwen looked out at the barbed wire as the five men digging the grave for Captain Vickie Tamping, the young Canadian woman who was taken on Space Dock Two leading a small unit of guerrillas against the American forces. She had been wounded when she was brought in and they never gave her any of the advanced medical they had captured. Sandra's eyes floated over the three thousand wooden crosses and cringed as she remembered the first...
"Fuck! The Admiral is going to be pissed," Captain Mike Bonnet of the USS Badger said. "I know, and I am going to have to tell him. It's my responsibility. As to your Mechs and Marines, the ship has been cleared of all Crytherians. Anyone left alive is outside and fair game. If you can get your Mechs to create a safe zone for us, I will get all my spiders initiating emergency repairs to get us back into space," turning he looked at Lisa and asked, "Lisa, how long until we get repairs...
“I would like to propose a toast,” said Sergei as he raised his glass. “To a fantastic day, it was one of the best days of my life.” They all seemed to feel the same way and raised their glasses. “I think we should review our thoughts and our experiences of the day,” Julia said. “Well,” said Sergei, “I felt we made excellent progress in the morning. Linda would make an excellent interrogator. What gave you the inspiration Linda?” “We were making no progress. We have a week here at most. I...
