Sixhundred, all the lights came on and an alarm sounded through the rooms of the students. Immediately the doors burst open and some very strict looking men and women in uniforms woke the students. There weren't enough to have one guard for each room so the one in the three girls' room left them again after opening the door. A voice, which sounded nearly like Tim O'Neills, said they had to prepare for their morning sport lecture and everybody had to join.

At first Fordgirl was still very tired and wanted to sleep again, but then she realized it was a lecture with Commander Jonathan Ford. She was the first one in her training suit, which was grey and had an UEO sign on the back of the shirt. "Come on, hurry up! I don't want to be late for my first lesson. Oh my god it is one with Commander Ford. I'm so excited. How will it be? Will he be hard to us?"

"I fear he will." PoorLittleLucas said with rings under her eyes. She had only had three hours sleep, as a quick look at her watch showed her. "I want to stay in bed. Go alone you two, I'll come later to our next lecture. This is nothing for me. I don't need sport, I'm fit enough. Good night."

Wolenczakdarling didn't know what to do and all her attempts to wake her new friend were unsuccessful. "Let's go, if she isn't able to come we can't change it." She said to Fordgirl.

"No, I don't support such behaviour! She has to come if she wants to or not! Ford is counting on you, on us all!" She pulled the blanket off PoorLittleLucas and fetched a glass of water which she emptied over the face of the sleepy girl. "Now get up and come!"

There was no chance. Fordgirl would never give up and so PoorLittleLucas had to get up and dress and follow the other two girls outside the building. Ford was standing with crossed arms and observed the arriving students. Chief Crocker assisted him."Good morning students!" he said in a strict, loud voice. "This is your first lesson and it will take place every day at sixhundred. Now it is half past six therefore sixhundred and thirty. Tomorrow there'll be detention for every one who is not here at sixhundred! Time is money in the business world and in the military it is the biggest factor which decides between death and life." He began walking from one side to the other and never lost eye contact to his students who had to stand in a straight line, with their eyes straight ahead, and were not allowed to move. The uniformed people controlled them and got them in the right positions if there was one not standing correctly.

Wolenczakdarling noticed very late that she was standing next to the girl who had freaked out the day before when Lucas had come to the signing. But she didn't dare start talking to her. She wanted to know what had happened at Hudson's office.

Ford continued with his speech about how this lesson would be and what he expected from his students. Most of them groaned when he began with his sport activities. Thirty minutes every morning they had to run. And later he would extend this to a whole hour and then after a short break with stretching they would continue with some power training. Every second day, there would be an additonal lecture on swimming. Seamen had to be good swimmers and this was exactly what they had to practice.

"I'm dying!" PoorLittleLucas said after Commander Ford had told them that their first lesson was over and they now could have a break before they had to go to the next one. Everybody seemed crawl to the showers, if they were still able to reach them, some others preferred to just lie on the ground.

The only one that seemed nearly fit was Fordgirl who saluted in front of Jonathan Ford, who nodded in her direction.That seemed to make Fordgirl endlessly happy. Smiling she walked towards PoorLittleLucas und Wolenczakdarling. "Ensigns, on your feet." she said helping both girls to stand up again. "That was great, wasn't it?"

Wolenczakdarling and PoorLittleLucas looked at each other. The only great thing was that they had survived this torture. "I'm dying!" PoorLittleLucas said again.

Fordgirl shook her head. "Your condition is really bad. You two should work on it, if you want I can help you with that. We could do an extra training."

"No thank you." Wolenczakdarling said politely. She knew Fordgirl just wanted to help, but she feared her help would probably kill them both in the end.

The three of them went back to their cabin and relaxed a bit. It soon was time for breakfast, which most of the students really needed at that point. After breakfast Wolenczakdarling and PoorLittleLucas had got their energy back, then they realized that it was Lucas' computer course which they had to attend next.

They said bye to Fordgirl who still had a lot of time left before her next course and went to the science station of the colony where their computer course took place. They arrived far too early, so there was still more than half an hour left until it began. Both girls had thought about it and decided to be there as soon as possible to get a seat in first row, near Lucas. But unfortunately they had not been the only ones with that idea, so the auditorium was already full of female students, waiting for Lucas. Actually the auditorium was too full, there were no empty chairs left, so more than 30 girls had to stand...

"Didn't know that there are so many students in this course. I thought it was limited." PoorLittleLucas said.

"It is." answered Wolenczakdarling. "I guess they all want to see Lucas. Let's find us a place where we can stand before there is no more space left." At this point the students began to sit on the floor in front of the professor's table and more and more students entered the room. Wolenczakdarling and PoorLittleLucas just wanted to look for a better place when they were pushed aside by Captain Hudson, who wasn't amused when he saw the crowd of girls waiting just for Lucas. He took a deep breath and waited for Ensign Wolenczak, who arrived shortly after him.

"What's going on?" he asked. One second later the students realized that Lucas had arrived and they began to scream and to move in his direction. "Oh..." was all he could say.

Hudson raised his left eyebrow and took his pal. "Security."

Two minutes later the security had to rescue Lucas Wolenczak out of the crowd of female students, who didn't want to let him go. But they soon found some arguments that calmed the girls, which had something to do with the promise of Hudson to talk to each of them in a private lesson in his office. No one wanted to risk that. The one girl that already had to go through this hell suddenly didn't seem to be herself anymore.

"Alright." Hudson said. "It's obvious that some of you do not belong here. So leave this auditorium if you didn't sign in for this course." The Captain tried to be as kind as possible. "This is an order."

Some girls left, but still some were left who didn't have the right to be in that course. Lucas took a list out of his pocket and made his way to his table, which was possible, due to the Captain's threat. "I'm going to read out your names and everyone not mentioned will leave, alright? The others take a seat in front of the computers please, so that we can start... LucyWolenczak?" He rolled his eyes.

"Here." The girl raised her hand happily and sat down in the first row.

"LovelyMegan?"

"Here."

"Jolene?"

"Here...I love you!" she couldn't help but shout and sit down. She grinned innocently while Lucas ignored her.

Meanwhile Wolenczakdarling remembered something. "Oh no, we are almost the last ones on that list. So no chance that we sit in one of the first rows. That's not fair." she whispered.

"Oh look, there are those two insane girls!" PoorLittleLucas said and pointed to two students who just had been called by Lucas to sit down.

"What are you talking about?"

"Elfi told me about them." Elfi was the other ELF fan PoorLittleLucas had met yesterday. "They are really weird and everybody is afraid to talk to them. They talk about Darwin as a god and some other weird stuff. I think even Hudson is scared."

"Oh really?" Wolenczakdarling was surprised. PoorLittleLucas nodded.

"LucasPrincess." Lucas sighed and kept on reading the list. But noone seemed to move or to reply. "LucasPrincess?"

"Uhm..." one of the students said. "She became unconcious."

Lucas rolled his eyes again. He had to roll his eyes quite often these days. "Well, next one. Susan." That was rare, someone with a normal name. He would never get used to calling a student...what was the next name on his list? ...Calling a student "LaralovesLucas." Lucas looked up from his list and saw the girl walking to her seat. He had seen that girl before. It was the one who had tried to convince him that he should be the father of her children. But she seemed so different. No screaming or kissing. She just walked over to her seat. What had happened?

"Okay...Elfi."

"Yeah! Here!" she said happily and ran to her seat.

Some names later it was PoorLittleLucas' and Wolenczakdarling's turn and they could walk to their seats...in the last row. Neither of them were happy at all. Well at least they were in that course. Several girls had to leave the auditorium, even though they had tried to pretend their names had just disappeared from the list.

Hudson got a headache and also left the room, leaving some of the security guys behind. Those girls seemed to be a great danger in his eyes.
