ClassMPlanet 1-2, preceded by ClarionQuests 1-2, followed by MultiWorldsCollide 1-4.

"ClassMPlanet-Chapter2" [07] - a chronicle of an alternate/parallel universe, different from EarthPrime,
a translation into EarthPrime language made by Roland, ambassador without portfolio.
Characters within alternate, parallel universes are similar to and different from their counterparts.
Readers are encouraged to be, or become, familiar with:
- Star Trek, The Next Generation [ST-TNG], especially planets Romulus, Vulcan, Qo'noS/Kronos (Paramount).
- The Owl House (Disney). Episodes and extracts from Disney's The Owl House.
- Episodes and extracts from The Twilight Zone (Viacom-CBS and Warner Bros).
- WWII carriers, battleships, ships: supply, medical, troop, etc. (Discovery and History channels).

Within The Demilitarized Corridor or Demilitarized Zone, often nicknamed the Neutral Corridor or Neutral Zone, are a few M-Class planets. Planets with oceans, seas, islands everywhere, continents, peninsulas. Landmasses with tundras, savannas, forests, plains, polar caps, lakes, and rivers.

Two D'deridex I vessels travel through space, edging closer to The Demilitarized Zone, often shortened to The Neutral Zone.
Two Senior Captains, armed with computer room data and their calculations, are traveling in their respective scouting vessels, 175 yards long, 125 yards wide, and blue-gray coloration. Vrybrih, often nicknamed 'skilled one', and Ariende, often nicknamed 'learning one', are in the pilot seats, keeping in constant contact via video. And, usually, some moments or minutes of silence pass between sentences and topics.

Vrybrih: "Do you believe people and their planets can change?"

Ariende: "You've been watching the movie '2012' segments again?"

Vrybrih: "Yes, I have. Do you believe the people of Romulus will maintain the changes made so far?"

Ariende: "You and I certainly hope so! Still much to do, still, progress has been made. Back then, the Government and the Military ruled the day, with the vast majority of the civilian population, if not fully supporting them. Over time, the Government and Military became less autocratic and less egalitarian within the Government and the Military. Those entities became more responsive to the people, particularly to all the workers everywhere. The common people gained important civil and voting rights and their accompanying responsibilities. Communiques from Quadrant Three reaching us indicated a major powerful nation with their Counsel, and new representatives were assigned - 2 Religious, 2 Warrior, 3 Worker. Our Government, especially our Senate, did something very similar - gave majority power to the Worker Group."

Vyrbrih: "I remember, we remember, the One Thousand Four Hundred Seventy-three. The tragic, horrible explosion aboard a D3 vessel being constructed claimed the lives of all those workers and destroyed the proto-build. And segments through a portal gave us bits and pieces of a message delivered Wednesday, August 28, 1963. A great sociological and religious leader gave a clarion call for a society where children of all colors, creeds, groups, and backgrounds will be sitting, walking, working, playing, side by side. No more egalitarianism, rather, with full equalization."

[That segment came from Martin Luther King Jr., in another universe, on EarthPrime, in the United States capitol, at the Lincoln Memorial, August 28, Wednesday, 1963. Which included this clarion call: 'I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.' 'I have a dream today.']

Ariende: "Did you bring your copies of those still saves from The Isles? One shows a few youngsters gathered in a living room, sitting on a couch, having tea or something. The other shows the two leads, side by side, viewing a projection on a wall .I have them close by."

Vrybrih: "I also have them close by. An Earthprime government uses 'Air Force One' [plane] or 'Marine One' [helicopter] when the Main Leader is aboard."
['Air Force Two' and 'Marine Two' when the US Vice-President, but not the President, is aboard.] Ariende, do you remember VorKrieg's face when we told him that we borrowed the on-the-fly renaming idea? So we began naming the vessels we are presently piloting, 'Amitainya' and 'Luzceska'. At the same time, such are Romulan dynamic equivalent names; we were and still are saluting the two leads in The Isles?"

Ariende: "I remember."

Vrybrih: "Say, why are we talking like two Romulans of Vulcan Extract, undergoing Kolinahr?"

Ariende: "Because we are. Two Romulans. Of Vulcan Extract. Undergoing Kolinahr?"

Hard-of-hearing portable computers [not the quality of Siri or Alexa] kick into action on both vessels. They interrupt from time to time.

"If you want to know more about colanders, please visit the Gordon Bleu website. Would you like for me to now take you there?"

Ariende and Vrybrih give their respective interrupters the silent Anne Buunchoiy/WhatTheHeck eyes expression.

Ariende: "Getting back to changes. While race, creed, color, ethnicity, not Romulan nor Vulcan nor even Kronos problems-"

Vrybrih: "-not internally, no; however, externally, we three did not always treat outsiders well. That's another subject for another time."

Ariende: "We remember the political, social, governmental, military camps had major arguments over, and still have some argument over, the national and corporate policies that encouraged nationwide and personal, individual, inculcation of new purposes, new missions, new goals - all of which was bannered under 'Live and Let Live, Preserve and Protect Lives and Cultures'.

Vrybrih: "The Qo'NoS/Kronos flag: Duty, Loyalty, Sacrifice, and Honor. The Vulcan flag: philosophy of equality often stated as Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations. Our old Romulan symbol: Military Might and Honor, included Civilian Pride.
Our present Flag, our symbol, our Shield, is beginning to more and more proclaim: Duty, Loyalty, Sacrifice, Strength, Endurance, Respect, and Honor.
Although there is loyal opposition to that, many citizens exclaim: Let our People and our Children be free, and continue being so."

Ariende: "Talking about respect, was it Trevahar, your Acting Captain when you're absent, who coined the phrase: 'To know us is not to respect us.'?
Did he indicate that most of the time, only the presence and activity of our military-green, D'deridex vessels, were respected by friend and foe alike?
Those vessels did look fantastic, were formidable, usually did ok for us."

Vrybrih: "Yes, he did. And he laments that Romulus, in this universe, did not inherit well. This lack of respect had permeated our planet, our countries of many of our families-grown-great. However, Travahar does see a new Romulus on the horizon, and he has great hope and faith that Romulus will become respected as Vulcan has been and still is."

Ariende: "We had to decide whether the One Thousand Four Hundred Seventy-three tragically losing their lives, such a great and terrible defeat, will lead us to either create more defeats and eventual downfall or create new Purposes, new Missions, new Goals. The national and personal changes started by the present generation, their children, and their children's children must continue. New mistakes, like old mistakes, are corrected. Every generation builds upon the previous, learning and growing."

Vrybrih: "Travahar also mentioned not only did he have to change, but families grown-great also had to change, and Romulus at large had to change. Even though Romulus has arrived, in more ways than one as he liked to phrase it, he knew, you and I knew - there is still much more to be changed."

Ariende: "I recall various portals sent through messages about The Creator giving each of us, each sentient being, inside of our physical essences, an internal essence, which some have labeled 'Character Essence' - memory banks of all our thoughts, emotions, attitudes, ideas, concepts, precepts, constructs, actions, behaviors, successes, failures, plateaus, and whatever else. Present, recent, past, way back when memories. If there is an Afterlife, all we carry into that Afterlife is our 'Character Essence'."

Vrybrih: "I find it interesting that even though most, but not all, religionists, philosophers, biological scientists, appear to agree that our physical bodies, upon our death, remain in the ground or the sea - that the times of the start of Afterlife, the circumstances surrounding Afterlife is not agreed upon. Some indicate upon death, immediately, or close to immediately, comes Afterlife. Others indicate upon death, there is a waiting period. Many disagree on how long a waiting period is. Circumstances surrounding that waiting period, again, many disagree."

Ariende: "Many scrolls, writings, many books have been brought into existence pondering the workings of The Creator. Let's change the subject. What are your thoughts on the material ZanTur brought into the forefront at that meeting earlier?"

Vrybrih: "Numerous portal activities have increased beyond our known normal. Arriving through the portals, bent on their destructive agendas, no remorse, no conscience for good at all, harming lives and destroying property, using violence as their ways and means. ZanTur called for brainstorming ideas for missions and actions, united fronts, and alliances amongst planets and national entities. It was encouraged to consider features, benefits, and possible good and not-so-good consequences. Educated guesses as to personal, national, planet-wide expenses."

Vrybrih, continuing: "What is encouraging is that many if not most folks in the meeting did not just want to fight known fire with known fire, or, as some put it: fighting the last war with the same somewhat souped-up weapons. Instead, many, if not most, desired to prepare for future wars against non-national entities, against those without loyalty to country or philosophy. And a desire to improve and maintain sensors, scanners, shields, and 'swords'. All of that to blunt if not prevent modern-day and future yet-to-be-faced 'swords' coming our way."

Ariende: "We both remember Liaison General Colins, Liaison Admiral Bouker, representing both North and South Continents Treaty Organizations, setting up numerous commands. Such as STRC/Strategic/Tactical [Preparedness &] Response, Strategic/Tactical Sensors/Scanners/Shields Operations, STRRR - Strategic/Tactical Restrain/Retrain/Relocate, and some more. Those two represented United Planet's land, sea, and air operations. In short, United Planets stepped up to the plate and joined in with us, Vulcan, Qu'NoS/Kronos, and others, all within Quadrant One. The general and admiral heavily borrowed from 'We The People's Idea, which has been re-labeled Alpha, Delta, Beta, and Gamma Groups. These special forces - spending roughly 95% of their time and energy researching, reading, listening, developing, updating, training, 5% military operations."

Ariende, continuing: "Planet after planet, national entity after national entity, accepted the basic idea, developed their own flavors defense groups. Two major morphs. First morph - from "fighting present enemies with yesterday and present weaponry over to be much more prepared to fight future wars with future-oriented weaponry. Second morph - from 'neutralizing what is not the norm over to the Purpose and Mission that many states this way: Live and Let Live, Preserve and Protect Lives and Cultures."

Vrybrih: "On EarthPrime, one of the larger nations has something called 'Air Force Para-Rescue Specialists', PJs for short, has a motto: 'This We Do, That Others May Live', in which many of its members have sacrificed their health, suffered injuries, some have even lost their lives in their gallant missions and actions to rescue those in trouble. United Planets, North and South Continents Treaty Organization's various Commands, developed close parallels, but not quite comprehensively let alone exhaustively."

Vrybrih continues: "As far along as they were, as such is known amongst the Houses of Qu'NoS/Kronos, I cannot speak for Vulcan - not knowing much of their history, such sacrifice was almost unknown amongst us Romulans. We inherited hit and run, surprising and over-powering, military-green vessels, not much sacrificing that I remember. The door to enlightenment and beginning inculcation of sacrifice was forced open by the tragic One Thousand Four Hundred Seventy-three devastation."

Suddenly, interrupting their conversation, Ariende: "Vrybrih! I think we have arrived."
