After what is being called "The 4/17 Newtech Disaster" Commander Cruger was doing interviews during the day and prime time television. Some people were praising him for use of the droids and others were condemning him. While Cruger was out gallivanting around gaining praise and blame Sky was getting the same treatment over the phone lines while running SPD in his commander's absence and they were both getting sick of it. Bridge and Kat even took some shifts for Sky so he could spend time with Lizzy and Syd. However this days interview on "Newtech News at Noon" would make headlines that Sky and Cruger agreed would no longer hear anymore about the subject. "All SPD cadets, officers, and staff to the cafeteria in five minutes. Five minutes later a big screen television was on in the Cafeteria to the news.
Bill Rafferty: We are here with Commander Cruger; current commander of SPD earth.
Commander Cruger: Thank You Bill. It's good to be here.
Bill Rafferty: Commander you and your rangers protect earth from evil and act as an advanced police force. However now we see these machines working for SPD and they destroyed a building. What really happened in that situation to cause you to send those machines and where did they come from?
Commander Cruger: I will address the second question first. Those things are not SPD. Their weapons and abilities are far beyond anything we have. The technology is a mix of that of the Black Knights and a species known as the Asgard. They were Christmas gifts from the knights. I don't like them but unfortunately we supposedly will need them and with the earth governments building these heavily fortified military facilities and civilian bunkers I have no reason to doubt this. So it seems we will need them but that doesn't mean I'm happy about it. As for your other question. There is a highly technical gang war going on in Newtech. I would have been sending my rangers to their graves. They had nearly twenty high powered laser turrets that would have destroyed any ranger. We sent those in with orders to disable their defenses and not to kill anyone, and in their opinion they did that.
Bill Rafferty: What was their opinion?
Commander Cruger: Their opinion was that they destroyed the defenses and the building killed the occupants. The bad part is we can't downgrade their weapons without serious backlash from General Dickson and possibly the Asgard Royal Guard. We can not combat that. So we will keep this planet as safe as we can with what we are given and please people, you are driving myself and my second in command crazy so please stop calling.
Bill Rafferty: Well there you have it. Commander Cruger of SPD. Commander we thank you. Next we will talk about the military instillations being built around the world and see if we can't find out why. We'll be right back.
With that the television went off and people began filing out and back to work. The entire area was abuzz with the interview and Sky was actually able to get some work done. That night Commander Cruger returned for the last time from the interview and Sky gladly relinquished command to him so he could spend more time with his daughter and Syd.
Note: Well here is 37. Long time to write but this is getting harder since it is like a life story. I feel like I am writing an SPD biography of sorts. I think that's it for Gang Wars so the next one will be…I'm thinking Lizzy's first birthday. Anyway if anyone has any ideas please let me know or else these chapters will start coming later.
