Two worlds: Chapter 1

Setting - Trigger has just flown out of the lighthouse and is leaving:

Trigger (in his head): "I want to go see that princess, the one on the radio, but I also don't want Long Caster to yell at me for breaking off."

Trigger, the LRSSG and the remains of the Coalition head to Seltapatura Airport where Osean, Erusean and other Usean military personnel are gathering

Setting - the road around the base of the Lighthouse, Princess Rosa Cossette D'Elise is gathering remaining refugees

Cossette: "Come on guys let's get inside before nightfall, what shelter do we have?"

She notices landline phone at the entrance

Cossette: muttering to herself "what's the military contact code?"

memory's flood back, she recalls her father saying "Rosa it's too late, the Oseans will be here soon, get in the liaison plane, the pilots have thier orders, if you need to contact the military, call them on frequency 105.6 on a radio or dial 75549 on any telephone and you will be on their communication channel", a tear develps and slides down her face, she dials

Refugee: Princess? What are you doin'

Cossette: "Calling for help." she replied sharply, trying to dampen the crying

random radio chatter*

Cossette: 'Can anyone hear me'

Erusean: "Excuse me this is a restricted radio channel"

Butting in: "This is Princess Rosa Cossette D'Elise at the space elevator, please send food, clothing and shelter supplies"

Erusean (who is embarrassed for talking to the princess) "Uh yes ma'am, right away"

Setting - Seltapatura airport

The Erusean that spoke to Rosa is a high ranking one so he arranges an airlift

Erusean Officer: *more radio chatter* "This is Brigadier General Lieupod, any there any helos available at Seltapatura?"

Osean: This is Sea Goblin, we have a HH-9B and two Chinooks currently about to arrive at the airport"

Sea Goblin Chinook: This is Sea Goblin, call sign Hell Bender, we're gonna set down troops on the east side, what's the situation?, over."

Lieupod: "We need a relief run the the Lighthouse"

door busts open

Trigger: "Sir, I've been informed your in charge here?"

Lieupod: "Yes, why"

Trigger (almost gasping for breath) "we need a rescue run, an aircraft is down at the lighthouse"

Hell bender: (after hearing everything) "Hey is that one of the 'Osean Big Shots' we'll do anything for 'em"

Lieupod: "Well Sea Goblin let's see if you relief and rescue, good luck"

Setting - Inside the entrance area to the space elevator, refugees are standing chattering away, while Rosa looks at a a muruial, she is still on the verge of tears

Unknown: "Excuse me miss?"

Cossette: turns quickly "yes", she notices notices the pilots uniform and Osean flag

Unknown: "I'm Count, my jet crashed so I thought I would hang with you guys, also are you that princess, I think I heard you on the radio, doing broadcasts"

Cossette: "Yes, tha that's me, uh, can I a ask you a question?"

Count: "Go ahead."

Cossette: "Whats the name of the pilot with the scratches?"

Count: "Oh, that's Trigger, he's a national, no, continental hero."

As Count walks off, Rosa whispers under her breath "he's mine too"

Setting - out side the Lighthouse, Sea Goblin is approaching

Hell bender to the troops, "ok guys so we drop in, give the refugees thier stuff and grab that Osean pilot, got it"

The marines give a grumble, they all long for action, not some piss easy relief run

The Chinook lands, Marine: "Come on boys, let's get this shit over and done with"

Other marine: "so we give the refugees stuff and that general ordered we give some princess clothing?"

Rosa has just finished weeping when the soldiers walk in, one approaches her

Marine: Here you go princess" sees count "Oi count get your fat ass on this bird"

Count says his good byes as he is flown away

Rosa goes to the toilets and get's changed, she looks in the mirror as she leaves, thinking "it's been a while since I've worn common clothes and not some dress, feels... different, yet familiar"

She walks out to the crowds of news companies that turned up and turns around, looking up at the star's, with her hand stretched out, she recreates the moment she spoke to that pilot. Trigger and murmurs, "can you hear me"
