following characters. This is a completely fictional story.
-JAB MAN
In had been a little over 3 months since that incident and the Galactic
Layeline. Gene and the crew of the Outlaw Star had traveled far from
Sentinel III and recently started up Starwind and Hawking enterprises
on the planet known as Zeus IV. The planet was hot bed of business through
out that section the galaxy. The chose it because Suzuka claimed to have
worked there in the past, Gene figured that she would be of some help
if they started up on that planet. Despite Gene's claim that this was the
planet that would help them hit it big, business was rather light.
Despite Gene's attempt to skip town on Fred Lowe, he was unable to escape
the eye of the oddball arms dealer. He had been complaining as of late
about his lack of money that Gene still owed him. Gene and Aisha were
doing odd jobs through out the planet and both were bringing some money
and Suzuka added her own money to the rent every month. Just enough for
her room and board. Jim and Melfina were regulated to different positions.
Jim was save money on maintenance by working on the Outlaw Star and Melfina
was to keep the home front happy with food. They had been set up one month
when Gene was picking up the phone as it wrung.
"Hello Starwind and Hawking enterprises, if you can break it we can fix it."
Said Gene
"Yes, my name Albert Reynolds and I am going to need some armed security for
a transport of some expensive historical artifacts. I woman named Suzuka
suggested that I contact you." Said the voice at the other end of the line.
Gene silently thanked Suzuka for the job and said, "Yes sir, you called the
right man I would be happy to provide security. I am more then armed" Gene
patted his caster gun.
"Very well, you will be one of four guards that we will hire. It pays 500
Wong an hour. We will need you for about 6 hours later this afternoon. Does
that sound alright?" said Reynolds.
"Sounds great," said Gene with the thought of 6000 Wong into his pocket "If
I may suggest I have a Ctarl Ctarl friend who be a great addition to your
team."
"A Ctarl Ctarl huh, well sure you can bring him along. Those Ctarl Ctarl
don't need to be armed" said Reynolds
"Actually the Ctarl Ctarl in question is a she" said Gene "She is very
reliable" he said lying through his teeth.
"Very well, bring her to the Silgrian Ral temple downtown at two o'clock.
I will be there at around that time." Said Reynolds
"Yes sir, pleasure doing business with you." Gene said. After hanging up
the phone Gene yelled up the stairs to where Aisha was eating breakfast. "I
got us a job, we leave at two"
"What's the job?" yelled back Aisha
"Guard duty we leave at two" yelled Gene "The job is boring but the pay is
good."
"Fine, but for boring job like guard duty it better be!" said Aisha
Later that day at about 2:30 Gene and Aisha were gathering their things and
were preparing to leave. "Be sure to have a good meal for us Melfina we are
going to work up an appetitive." Said Aisha
"When don't you work up an appetite?" muttered Gene, Aisha responded with an
angry glare.
"You bet!" said Mel
"I will be away for the day as well, I have some business to attend to" said
Suzuka as she walked out the door.
"I feel sorry for whoever "business" might be." Said Jim "Anyway I am heading
to the ship I will be back in a little bit. I won't be gone long"
"In that case can I come with you Jim?" said Mel "I need to get some stuff
from the ship."
"Sure" responded Jim, and with that the crew went their separate ways. Jim
took his car witch forced Gene and Aisha to take a taxi.
When Jim arrived at the Outlaw Star it was raining witch forced a mad dash
from the car to the airlock tower. By the time Jim and Melfina had gotten
into the ship they were drenched.
"This stupid planet it rains almost every week here." Complained Jim.
"Oh its not that bad." Said Mel "You just complain to much" Mel said as she
rubbed the drenched head of the 11 year old.
Jim just shook his head. Ever since that day at the Layline Mel had changed.
She no longer moped around. She was not depressed like she was before. In
fact no only was she now more up beat. She had a bit of an attitude to go
with it. Jim attributed that to her spending more "quality time" with Gene.
"Whatever" Jim said with smile "Get what you need and we will run it to the
car when the rain lets up. I need to finish my work from yesterday and will
be ready to roll."
"Okay" responded Mel as she headed to the ship's galley.
About 10 minutes later a voice startled Mel.
"Who, who is there?" asked Mel quietly
"I am sorry Melfina, I did not mean to alarm you" said Gilliam
"Oh its you" said Mel "Don't worry about it, what's up?"
"Jim has requested that you take a call. It was originally meant to got to
Starwind and Hawking enterprises." Said the pink cylinder "But Jim says he
is to tied up at the moment."
"Oh, okay" Mel said, she then walked to the vid phone and picked it up.
The face that appeared was that of a middle aged man. He wore think glasses
and had a full beard that was beginning turning from jet black to gray.
"Starwind and Hawking, how may I help you." said Mel as she silently cursed
herself for sounding like a corny secretary.
"Melfina, well that makes things simpler" said the relived man
"I'm sorry have we met before?" said Mel
"Yes, but I doubt you remember me, Melfina listen carefully. Layeline
project command, it was you who broke my mason plate." Commanded the man.
Mel gasped as she heard the words, because she remembered what they did.
She then went into a zombie like sleep. No awake but able to realize what
is going on around her to a certain extent.
"Good now, Leyline project command, the wine will be served in crystal
goblets." Said the man. Mel's eyes opened slightly. "Now grant me access
to the ship. Disable the Gilliam system first."
Mel then went to the nearest computer panel and shut down Gilliam, despite
his protests. Jim was working in the lower part of the ship and quickly
noticed that all the Gilliam "cans" and stopped working. She then granted
access to the man who was in a car just outside the ship.
The man quickly boarded the ship and ordered Melfina into her chamber. Mel
did as she was told and entered her chamber aboard the bridge. The man then
sat in the pilots seat and said "Lock out all controls of the ship outside
this room and prepare for blastoff"
next chapter coming soon
