Two worlds Chapter 3
Setting - Rosa is on her Liaison C-1
Rosa is looking at her laptop, trying to organise her tax spending
Rosa: "Ugh, how hard is to give the police some more money."
The aircraft violently shakes
Over the intercom: "Princess we're under attack!"
Rosa looks out the window to see a Gripen strafing the wing, fire erupts as the starboard engine is taken out, an F-22A comes past at supersonic speeds and loops back, the Gripen was also coming back, but was swiftly obliterated, the other fighter came along side, "Trigger" the princess saw the three scratches
Over the intercom: "Cossette, Cossette!" It called her and the aircraft shook again
Rosa wakes up to Avril giving her a slap across the face
Cossette: "Wha- What happened?"
Avril: Well, you passed out, and started murmuring 'trigger' over and over again."
Rosa is speechless
Over at Seltapatura, Trigger is drowning out the sound of top brass, until he hears "The Erusean Princess." "What!" Trigger sharply responded, the Major replied, "Yeah, that Princess is the reason we got into this mess", Trigger, remembering what Lebarth had said at Anchorhead, put a scowl on his face, stood up and yelled "That's not true, she was manipulated and socially pressured!" The major, counteracted calmy with "then why did she egg them on?" Trigger blew a fuse and flipped a table, pointed at the major and exclaimed "If she was evil then why once realising what had happened did she nearly sacrifice herself for some innocent civilians on Tyler Island?" The major responded almost instantly with "it was a political move to make her seem better, you obviously being delusional have fallen for it." Trigger had it, he punched the major across the face and walked out.
Count, Huxan, Long Caster (who was now onto his 3rd pie of the day) and some aircraft engineers where all stood outside with the same burning question, what was up with trigger, he glanced and walked off, there was a deadly silence, only broken by Long Casters crunchy meal.
Back at the lighthouse, a paramedic who was checking over some refugees was asking Rosa some questions, "Have you had enough to eat and drink?" Rosa replied "No I feel light-headed and sick." The paramedic noticed she was sweating, "Let's go to the ambulance, we have a doctor there who will examine you further, ok?" Rosa not sure in what was going on herself nodded her head, Avril, Rosa and the paramedic took a slow walk
Trigger who was sat at his desk in his living quarters was silent just thinking of... Rosa, the war, 444, how a 'clean war' got so dirty so fast, a medical officer came in and said, "Trigger what you did earlier was abnormal so we will take you to see a phycologist at the city hospital, we think something is toying with you mentally"
Back at the Lighthouse the doctor couldn't figure out Rosa's symptoms himself, "let's go to the city hospital, we have more equipment and people there, Dean (the paramedic) let's go, remember this is the princess so treat this like a grade-1 emergency, full lights and sirens!" Avril rolled her eyes, she thought it was funny how people acted differently in Rosa's presence.
The paramedic set off, the repetition of the sirens was getting on her nerves, it was worse since they hit traffic in the middle of rush hour, after all the action at Seltapatura, the city seemed to have calmed down quickly, Avril looked out the back and saw a military car "Hey Rosa, what is that doing here?" Rosa looked and replied, "I have no clue"
After 15 minutes of just sirens, bullhorns and weaving the ambulance took a sharp right as it pulled into "Seltapatura City Hospital" the Paramedic read aloud.
