Episode Fourteen

"The Return of Tai'koana"

The small group watched in awe from the bridge of the flagship Oenone as Astronema's impressive fleet began organizing itself in the space surrounding the hidden planet Miranda.

"Is this all yours?" Osama asked in complete and utter awe of the number of ships he saw before him as well as their extraordinary size.

"This is all of the 7th fleet," Hathor answered.

"How many fleets are there?" asked Francoise.

"Twelve," Astronema replied as she strode onto the bridge. Behind her, guards escorted the small green form of Zaldorp into the room as well. "Osama of Earth, since you were the one who protested on behalf of the Zorpian traitor, you are the one who will be entrusted with his care. He is to remain in your presence at all times. Is that understood?"

Osama nodded and Zaldorp was escorted over to the Trio.

"Oh great, just what I need, another pathetic lifeform cluttering up my life. And oh! Even better! It's a Zorpian!" Francoise grumbled and glared at the Zorpian.

"You truly think that I am thrilled by all this, Penguin?" Zaldorp griped in reply.

"Why is he in charge? I take offense!" Bugsy cried out. Osama rolled his eyes. This trip would be fun.

"Alert the fleet that we are beginning departure," Astronema commanded her officers. "Set a course for the Kinjani homeworld."

"Is that what you think?" a familiar booming voice filled the room and the lights flickered and shook. All gasped in surprise and appropriate reverence as Tai'koana the Dragon once again appeared.
