Lieutenant Adventures Series 10 Chapter 44 13 April 2016. Terraforming.

A big Saturnite spaceship rose from below the surface of Saturn. When it broke the surface, it flew up high into Space and then zoomed off towards Mars, towards NASA, towards the terraforming. It was wrong. It must be stopped.

The TARDIS materialised.

"We're still moving," said the Lieutenant.

"Oh, what? How can we be moving? The central column has stopped," said Sandy.

"Just because the central column stops, doesn't mean we're not moving," said the Lieutenant.

"Oh, like if we materialise on a moving spaceship?" asked Catina.

"Exactly," said the Lieutenant. "But not just materialising on a moving spaceship. We could materialise to get a glimpse of a planet and then get sucked into a black hole. We could also materialise in deep space and continue drifting."

"So, where are we?" asked Ann.

"On a saturnite spaceship I remembered heading for Mars," said the Lieutenant.

"You remembered?" asked Sandy.

"Yes," said the Lieutenant. The Saturnites landed on Mars, had a massive fight, some people got killed and then left again, dissatisfied. NASA still terraformed Mars and 700 years from now, Mars is a planet that looks like Earth but is colder and has 38% less gravity pull than Earth."

"Why are we here then?" asked Catina.

"Well, we can't stop the terraforming but we can stop the blood shed. We can turn it into a debate. We can turn it into something that Saturnites might do for fun and enjoy in the future," said the Lieutenant.

"Ah, I see. When do we start?" asked Ann, rubbing her hands together excitedly.

"When we arrive," said the Lieutenant. He reached into a pocket and took out a packet of Rennie. He took two and crunched them.

He's still got heartburn, mouthed Sandy to Catina.

I know, mouthed Catina.

Shhh, mouthed Ann.

There was a grinding noise, then a jerk, then a lowering sensation.

The Lieutenant put away the packet of Rennie and looked up. "Now, Ann, to answer your question," said the Lieutenant.

The Lieutenant, Sandy, Catina and Ann left the TARDIS. By now, the spaceship was hovering near a human colonisation lab so they were alone. They found their way to the pilot's room.

"Who are you, how did you get in?" demanded the pilot.

Sandy gaped. "That alien is speaking English," she said.

"I am doing no such thing and you're the aliens," said the pilot.

The Lieutenant turned to Sandy. "TARDIS telepathic circuits," he said. "It translates if for you. To them, we're speaking Saturnite," said the Lieutenant.

"Excellent!" exclaimed Catina.

"Stop the terraforming. It's against nature," said the pilot.

"Make us," came the reply.

"Oh, I wouldn't say that if I were you," said the Lieutenant. "They are highly advanced Saturnite warriors.

"They said it was against nature!" exclaimed the colony leader.

"It is," said the Lieutenant.

"You can make us too," said the colony leader.

"No, I won't. I'm all for it's benefits. I'm just trying to make peace. It is against nature though," said the Lieutenant.

"In what way is that "making peace"?" asked the pilot.

"Debating," said the Lieutenant. "That's what this is called. Debating. Humans have lots of fun debating over loads of different topics. Maybe you could give it a go. I think the Saturnites would love it," he said.

"Debating," said the pilot thoughtfully. "Yes, I'd better get back to Saturn and tell my people about this before I forget. I really think debating could be a hit," said the pilot, resuming flight back to Saturn.

The Lieutenant, Sandy, Catina and Ann left unnoticed and returned to the TARDIS.

The TARDIS dematerialised.

"What now?" asked Catina.

"They go back to Saturn. Debating is a big hit! They forget all about Mars and terraforming and one day, Mars becomes Earth's twin." said the Lieutenant.

"So, a happy ending then," said Ann.

"Yes," said the Lieutenant. "This time."

NEXT TIME:

**Note to reader. This will be a harder chapter to understand than any multi-Lieutenant story I may have done and than any of the times I may have switched from he to she to he when referring to the Lieutenant's gender. Finally, there has never quite been a chapter like this chapter in Lieutenant Adventures before.**

"Oi," laughed the Lieutenant.
