Chapter 4
"I'm home", the tired Lieutenant staggered into the living room of his apartment. He looked around, but no one was home.
"MARVIN???" he shouted, but still no answer, "where could that runt be?" Martin glared around the apartment as his attention was set on a small note pined to the cork board.
"Went to the Palace, order out for cluckin", it was in Marvin's handwriting.
"Great", the tired Martian sighed in frustration, "the most important day of our lives, and he's out having a fun time with the Queen." Then it hit him.
"The Queen knows the same secret that he knows", echoed in his mind like chimes. Before he could make a conclusion about the topic, Martin was broken of his trance by the front door sliding open.
"What, no cluckin?" his younger brother came waltzing into the dining room, "I thought I asked you to order out?"
"Just got home", Martin sat down.
"You look like you've had a rough day", Marvin sat down across from him, "anything I should know about?" Before Martin could explain the story about X-22 and the woman at the penitentiary, Marvin cut him off.
"Before you say anything", Marvin took out a small note, "I was called into the palace today."
"Yeah, I read your note."
"The Queen was most delighted to see me. She had heard that I was an expert historian and studier of the planet Venus." Martin raised his head up from his arms in a startling manner. "She wants me to be the official ambassador for Mars. Here's the catch; she heard that you were my brother and a close friend to the Martian High Commander." Martin raised an eyebrow toward his sibling. "She wants you to accompany me on the mission, for protection that is. Isn't it delightful?" Martin was speechless. On one side of his mind he was happy that his brother was finally going to make something of himself, but on the other side, he knew there was a conspiracy brewing, and it involved Marvin.
"I'm happy for you!" the young officer choked out, "finally, your big break."
"This is the moment that I've been waiting for my whole life", Marvin sprang up from his chair, "Finally, Venus, in person!"
"Well, we'll have fun. fun... Fun." Martin gave a forced smile.
"Now," Marvin sat back down at the table, "what is it that you wanted to tell me?" Martin gave a blank stare toward his sibling. He didn't want to say anything to crush any hope on this journey they were about to embark on.
"Ummmm." he tried to search for an answer, "nothing."
"Good then!" Marvin rose up again with excitement, "Hurry up! Get packing!" Martin again buried his head into his arms as his brother began to get ready.
"Now remember my dear ambassador", the Queen shouted from her balcony, "I want EVERY detail about the mission, is that clear?" Both Martians bowed toward her as they boarded the space vessel that would take them to Venus.
"So what do you think it will be like?" Martin questioned Marvin.
"Well, from what I've studied, it's sure to be quite different from us." Marvin exclaimed, "they skies are yellow at day, and emerald green at nightfall. The ground is magenta, and the water orange. The people there are a native type people. They live in huts and burrows, but at the same time still have indoor plumbing, electricity, and communications."
"In a HUT?" Martin couldn't believe his ears, "why not a house?"
"No one knows why", Marvin explained, "their culture is the most difficult to understand." Martin started the engines to their ship as he flew off into the red sky, praying that they would make it back alive.
