I glanced at Patricia as I straightened my uniform, “its been fun.” She was leaning against the hatch, “at least they let you stay a full two years this time.” I snorted, “after I told fleet admiral Kreager I would refuse the imperial star if they moved me?” She grinned, “but the emperor wouldn’t let you turn down the promotion.” I brushed the Brigadier General’s emblems I had worn since returning from Antilla, “he has a bigger stick to threaten me with.” Sam laughed, “you never said what that was either.” I smiled as I started for the hatch, “lets just say it involves watching his son and leave it at that.” She grinned, “changing diapers?” I stopped, “see you next time?” She kissed me before slipping away, “watch your back Pendragon.” I watched her walk away before leaving. I had my farewell dinner the night before but walked into the hanger bay to the sound of the regiment being called to attention. The shuttle took me out to a battleship that already had my things. I swam the weightless tube from the shuttle into the ship and saluted the lieutenant that was waiting, “permission to come aboard.” He grinned, “granted.” I headed through the hatch as he fell in beside me, “the captain asked if you would join her on the bridge.” I glanced at him, “My adjutant and assistant?” He gestured through the next hatch, “already aboard.” I nodded and stopped at the ship tram, the battleship was almost as large as a carrier. When the tram stopped I stepped out and headed across to an open hatch. I walked in and a senior sergeant barked, “Attention!” I continued towards the captain as I growled, “as you were.” The captain grinned, “nice to see you sir.” I shook his hand, “how much longer before we can head out?” He turned back to the plot, “we are moving out now.” He glanced at me, “why a full fleet of warships to escort you to a friendly?” I grinned, “it shows the Dentians how much the emperor trusts and respects me.” He nodded, “we have two weeks before we arrive.” I glanced at the plot, “Is Admiral Davis in CIC?” The captain nodded, “she said she expects you to join her for dinner. Formal uniform is mandatory.” I shook my head, “I’ll break it out.” He laughed and I turned for the hatch. The lieutenant escorted me out and down to a large set of rooms. I closed the hatch and a senior sergeant stuck her head out, “Sir?” I grinned, “Sergeant would you be so kind as to see if my bags are around somewhere?” She grinned, “already unpacked and your formal uniform has been cleaned and pressed.” I headed for the desk, “I assume you know when the admiral is expecting us?” She nodded, “you have ten hours.” I sat behind the desk, “where is Captain McCartney?” She looked into the other room, “trying not to pound on her comp.” I grinned, “Ginger!” Ginger had gone through a few brush fires and been given a field promotion. Not even a year later she was promoted and then promoted again just a month ago. I pulled up my mission brief as the newly promoted Junior Captain Ginger McCartney walked out, “why the hell did you ask for me?” I started reading and smiled, “because one or more of the Dentian females will wish to flex their muscle. You and I have spared many times and are more than capable of holding your own or beating them.” I looked at her, “and more importantly if I do it I will have to hurt them severally or kill them.” She sighed and sat on the edge of my desk, “so why ask the emperor for an envoy?” I sat back, “because for only the third time in their history they are expanding. One of the planets we have started to settle has less than a thousand people. They wish to purchase the planet.” Ginger looked at senior sergeant Elizabeth Ambrosia, “the Emperor would have nobles up in arms if he sold a planet.” I grinned, “true but there are a few things they don’t know.” I looked at the sergeant, “would you bring in some coffee and make sure you have a cup too.” It was a couple of minutes before I sipped and looked at Ginger and the sergeant, “Senta system is not listed under the imperial charter yet which means it belongs to the emperor and not the empire.” I sat back, “in other words he can sell it without the nobles screaming.” I sighed, “the problem is doing it in such a way that it doesn’t look like we are selling it.” Ginger frowned, “I don’t understand.” I smiled, “Dentians are and have always been our ally but they are extremely militant in their views. The queen can not be seen as weak by simply purchasing the planet.” They shook their heads and I sat up, “this isn’t going to be easy. The emperor has already authorized me to proceed with the purchase. WE just need to find the right currency the Dentians will pay.” I smiled, “I have put together an initial brief I want you both to read. Tomorrow at nine we will sit down and go over everything before we try to find something they can use that won’t insult them.” I gestured, “go read the brief.” I turned to review the ceremony I would have to endure when I reached Denta. I think the admiral enjoyed the way her officers reacted to me in formal uniform because she did it almost every evening. Fleet Admiral Cearlock was more tolerant and let me wear utilities. The shuttle down was empty except for me, Ginger and senior sergeant Ambrosia and our bags. I let the senior sergeant take care of the bags as we walked off and found a small party of Dentians waiting. I ignored all but one as I recognized her by the thick human style collar necklace. I walked to her and grinned as I ignored bows to hug her, “I have missed you greatly momma.” She embraced me and squeezed before pushing me back, “you still look thin daughterson.” I looked at the others before looking at her, “excuse me?” She nodded and I turned, “well met warriors.” One snorted and another sneered, “frail human customs?” Momma Trasel growled as I held out hand to stop Ginger from challenging, “I believe it is customary for a pupil to greet his mentor and teacher before any other. Have the Dentian warriors lost their respect for their mentors?” The females eyes narrowed, “you dare...” An older female slapped her hard enough to rock her back, “quiet! You have caused enough disrespect.” The older warrior bowed, “great warrior we acknowledge your wish to respect your teacher.” She smiled with her teeth showing, “on behalf of our queen we greet you and your companions.” I bowed, “have you arranged a contest?” She laughed as the others shifted, “Your teacher has brought one of her elder daughters.” I smiled and glanced at Ginger, “I hope you are ready Ginger. My clan sister will be very good.” She grinned as she looked at momma Trasel, “I’m always ready for a good fight.” Momma grinned and turned to gesture. Ginger was wearing a utility uniform and moved past me and then around Momma Trasel as I followed. The bare marked off area had warriors around the edge with space for the Dentians with me. Ginger walked to the center and stretched before looking around. The large Dentian female that walked in almost looked like her mother. She grinned at me before bowing to Ginger. A second later she leaped and the fight began. Ginger turned and slid back as she caught a wrist and twisted before snapping a kick. Momma Trasel growled, “she is a fast one.” I grinned as I looked at her, “we have fought many battles.” She grinned as my clan sister attacked again, “she has fought you?” I nodded, “many, many times.” It was ten minutes before Ginger and my clan sister stepped back from each other as they grinned. The old warrior stepped into the challenge area, “your emperor has truly sent a worthy warrior.” The warrior that had made the comment about frail human customs growled, “let the male fight.” The warriors looked at her and the old ones growled. I sighed and began to remove my dress coat, “face me if you dare warrior.” I walked towards Ginger and handed her my coat and then the weapon belt with my Swift and knife, “hold this?” She hesitated before nodding and accepting it. As she walked to the side the warrior strode towards me, “Now you will face a real warrior.” I smiled, “I have faced those better than you a thousand times.” She lunged with her hands and claws reaching for me. I slid straight back as I caught a hand and twisted it out and back. I turned as she twisted with her wrist and fell. I snapped a kick that cracked ribs before switching hands and twisting the wrist I held the other way. She screamed and was jerked back while trying to kick out. I shifted and moved as I yanked on her wrist and snapped another hard kick down to break a knee. I let her go and stepped back, “you are slow. Your teacher should have beaten you more.” I turned to walk towards Ginger as the warrior continued to struggle on the ground. I nodded to the older warrior and she actually grinned, “well done warrior.” I replaced my weapon belt and then my coat as Momma Trasel slapped my shoulder, “you have gotten better.” I grinned, “if you have time I would enjoy practicing with you.” She nodded, “come to the clan arena.” I was led to a vehicle and we were taken to a huge dinner where most of the food was meat and raw. The drink was strong which is why Ginger and I drank water. After dinner we were able to retire and found the senior sergeant waiting outside in a diplomat’s vehicle. She grinned, “the ambassador is waiting.” I nodded and sat back, “my sister gave as good as she got.” Ginger rubbed her ribs, “it was like sparing with you only you were larger and didn’t pull your punches.” I grinned, “My clan sister is one of the few who have won the planetary championship three times in a row. She has three mates she won as well as a forth won in a private match. I’m sure she would accept your call if you need a private sparing partner while we are here.” Ginger grinned, “I just might.” The ambassador was like most high nobles and had his own idea on how to make a deal with the Dentians. He thought I was just here as a figurehead while he made the deal. He had only been here a year and thought he knew everything. I stood after he finished talking, “first I am here on the direct orders of the emperor. His commands were very clear on what I was to do and they do not include letting you embarrass us or make an enemy of the Dentians.” I turned to the door and opened it before looking at the red faced ambassador, “Fleet Admiral Cearlock will be contacting you. She has your replacement aboard the carrier and will be taking you home at the Dentians request.” I walked out and headed back to the vehicle. The large estate we were staying at was the royal grounds for the queen. A well dressed human met us when we stopped and got out. He grinned and held out his hand, “Well met general. Your first impression made the queen very happy.” I shook his hand and he turned to Ginger and clasped her hand with both of his, “her majesty would consider it an honor if you would consent to joining her in her study captain.” I raised an eyebrow and Ginger grinned, “without males present no doubt.” The man grinned, “she was very... surprise at your challenge fight.” He looked at me, “her majesty wishes to express her thanks for not making your fight to the death. Gretchas is and has always been outspoken in her attitude towards your people and our alliance.” I smiled, “the rude warrior that challenged me?” He nodded, “a distance niece.” I shrugged, “tell her majesty I do not fault a child unless it does not learn from its mistakes.” He smiled and turned to gesture, “your sergeant can show you to your suite.” I grinned at Ginger, “I am going to Trasel arena in the morning.” She laughed as I walked away with the senior sergeant. The suite was more than spacious with huge Dentian size couches and chairs. I started taking my uniform off as soon as the door closed, “I hope we have no more surprises sergeant.” She chuckled as she headed towards a side door, “Dinner will be in an hour.” In my very large bedroom I changed into comfortable pants and shirt before hesitating and slipping the Swift on the belt in the small of my back. I went back to the center room with my comp reader and sat to review what I was going to propose to the queen. I glanced up when the door opened and two Dentian males walked in. One smiled and looked around as he growled, “we were looking for general England?” I set the reader aside, “you found him.” He looked at me and then the other moved towards a chair across from me, “you do not look ten feet tall.” I smiled, “that is only when I am in uniform. How may I assist you?” The first sat and leaned forward, “our mate asked us to speak with you privately. She does not wish any embarrassing... political remarks when she speaks to you.” I smiled as I relaxed and sat back, “by political you mean conditions for your people to purchase the planet.” They looked at each other and I shook my head, “I will not discuss what I intend to speak with your queen about. I will say Momma Trasel taught me more then how to fight.” I looked at the senior sergeant when she poked her head in and shook mine before she nodded and vanished. I looked at the two across from me, “I may be a male and an alien but I will honor your people and not insult them.” They nodded and stood before walking towards the door. I had stood with them and was walking beside them when the door smashed open and four huge Helos soldiers burst in. I shoved one of the males into the other as I pulled the Swift and shot the first through the face. A bullet smashed into my shoulder and spun me but I managed to kill a second with two shots through the body before I fell. I rolled with the impact, ignoring the burning tearing pain I had felt many times and came to a knee to shoot the third Helos soldiers as it aimed a weapon at one of the two Dentian males. The fourth had been aiming at me but fired low and I was twisted and thrown back to the floor by the bullet hitting my hip. I fired three times as I lay back and there were two more shots from the side door where senior sergeant Ambrosia emerged. I glanced at her, “keep the males safe at all cost until they are back with their mate safe.” She hesitated before nodding and I looked at the open door as a squad of Dentian place guards rushed in. I lay back and closed my eyes, “just what we need.” I blinked as I thought about my words as a guard knelt to check me. I woke to warm blankets and Ginger sitting beside me. I smiled, “you look better then the last intel officer to debrief me.” She smiled, “The attack wasn’t aimed at you. Two of the queen’s other mates were killed and a squad attacked the queen.” I looked at her and she grinned, “I learned from the best and killed them.” I nodded and looked up as I thought, “I think this is going to work for us.” Ginger cleared her throat and I smiled as I sat up, “where is my uniform?” She stood, “damn it Author you are supposed to stay in bed.” I smiled, “The Dentians are going to want to go after Helos and their new emperor.” I looked at her and grinned, “we are going to get two birds with one stone.” Ginger sighed and turned to a closet. Five minutes later I was walking out... well limping out. Senior sergeant Ambrose was outside the palace medic suite in full combat gear. I smiled but continued through the palace using the palace map. I nodded to the four large armed warriors guarding the throne room door as I continued walking. One stepped forward and growled, “you do not have permission human.” I looked up into her eyes and growled back, “I was attacked and shot protecting your queen’s mates. I will speak with her now warrior or I will break your neck and your line will end.” It hesitated as it looked at me before looking at the others. I stepped closer, “I am Author England and a full clan daughterson of Trasel clan. Move or face me.” She stepped aside and I shoved the doors open to hear arguing from the other end of the huge room. Ginger and the sergeant followed as I walked the length of the room before shoving Dentian nobles out of my way as I moved through them. The queen straightened and growled when I pushed through in front of her. I ignored it as I faced her, “a wound for a wound.” She blinked and nodded for me to speak. I ignored the others, “you wish the planet?” She growled and I answered it with one of my own, “do you wish the planet?” She nodded and I stepped close, “Helos has attacked the emperor’s voice here as well as you. Give me an alliance and the planet is yours.” I spun at the clawed hand on my shoulder and grabbed, twisted and snapped a kick that kicked the leg out from under the noble. I looked at the other nobles, “shut up or leave.” I turned back to the queen, “we want an alliance to send a clear message to Helos. It will include a combined task group of warriors to kill their new emperor and shatter their military. After that we want a small joint fleet of Dentian and human warships to patrol the system. They will allow no Helos ships to ever leave the planet or land.” The queen grinned showing her teeth, “who leads?” I grinned back, “Captain McCartney will lead the humans on the planet. The fleet Admiral will be decided by you.” She nodded and held out her clawed hand, “done.” I clasped her wrist and ignored the pain as her claws slipped into my arm. She let me go and looked around, “Trasel clan leader.” I turned to see an older Dentian much like Momma Trasel as she pushed her way through the crowd, “Your highness?” The queen grinned, “your clan daughterson has brought great honor to your clan. Your clan will lead our warriors and my new adopted daughter will lead you.” She looked past me to Ginger and grinned, “my pleasure.” I nodded, “I need a secure comm link to the fleet insystem your majesty.” She turned and gestured to the warrior behind her, “take him to the comm room and then my study.” I glanced at Ginger, “see you when you are free.” She nodded, “find out who commands the Recon company.” I smiled and turned to follow the warrior. First was the warning comm to fleet admiral Cearlock and then the long star comm to the emperor. He had already been informed of the attack and sat back when I explained the agreement I had made and nodded, “I will send fleet admiral Cearlock her new orders. Tell Captain McCartney to shoot the bastard once for me.” I smiled, “I’m sure she will put more than one in him.” He sighed, “well done Author. Stay until you hear how it went and then come home.” He cut the comm and I called admiral Cearlock back. |
