"General Bordinate's Plan" part 1
Blue Dwarf
Deck 29
The Marines had set up their own command post in one of the spacious
cargo decks. Camouflage sheeting covered a few tables with maps,
various weapons and communication equipment to contact Military
units elsewhere in the galaxy. The camouflage sheeting had various
marine's clothes hanging out to dry on it, making it look like a
child's den made out of clothes line and bedlinen.
Marine technicians were bustling around the command tent. Nobody
much noticed the officer that just walked in. He stood behind the
man in charge and saluted.
"Colonel sir?"
"Yes what is it?" Colonel Nigel S. Bordinate turned around to face
the officer.
"I have finished the survey of the ship, it appears that there is an
unlicenced wormhole drive on board."
"A wormhole drive you say?!" the colonel twisted his
moustache. "There have been tests, but no space-core vessel has ever
successfully been fitted with a wormhole drive... or has lived to
tell the tale anyway!"
"Yes sir, well I ..erm… questioned a junior officer and he said they
got it from a parallel universe."
"Poppycock!"
"That doesn't matter anyway sir, just that its here, and it works!"
"And how do you know?"
"I send Marsten into the Polaris nebula… without his spacesuit sir
I'm afraid, I was sceptical… he will be sorely missed!"
"Erm… right…" said General Bordinate. "Anyway its good news that we
have the wormhole drive because I have a little mission for this
little ...well... large ship."
"Sir?"
"Look at these star charts Johnson, there is a growing plague
threatening this galaxy" he pointed to a computer screen showing a
large red shrown spreading accross many star systems. "this is an
estimated chart showing the growth of the Hymepoptera's territory
across the galaxy- the enemy is spreading, advancing Johnson, but
Space Corps are doing nothing!"
"Erm.. but sir that is because the Space Core do not even know if
this Hymenoptera exist! The only ship ever to encounter them was the
Blue Dwarf, and well as you can see" Johnson gestured around
him. "..Well to be blunt sir the ship is full of piss heads!"
"The Hymenoptera exist Johnson, they are real and they are
dangerous. They are spreading like termites, reaping planets of its
proteins, sucking the land dry, stealing peoples brains to power
their ships, then moving off to the next planet. It happened to New
Ibiza, it happened to a planet called 'Ffion' according to Blue
Dwarf logs and it will happen to Earth some time if we do not stop
them!"
"Your still trusting the words of these pissheads though sir..."
"I'm right johnson and its only a matter of time, that is why we
have to strike!!"
"I...urr..Strike sir?"
"We can use the Blue Dwarf's wormhole drive to take us straight into
the heart of hymenoptera territory, strike them hard and fast! We
have plenty of our own military craft, as well as using the Blue
Dwarf's own support craft and missile launcher!"
"Errrm.... has Space Corp command authorised this sir?"
"They wont listen to me, they want to gather information on the
enemy first, but by then it may be too late! What if the Hymenoptera
get all the way to Earth? We need to strike now! And if we show the
Space Corp that we can fight, and we can win- then they will be more
willing to enter into the conflict."
"You mean you want to start a war?!" Johnson said.
"Better to fight now than when the enemy gets too powerful, eh?"
Johnson sighed. "You're the Boss sir, but going up against the Space
Corp? They'll have you hung!"
"I'm willing to die as long as Earth is saved!"
It was a very touching speech, The general was willing to die for
his planet. But something deep down told Johnson that he was somehow
lying.
