THE CELESTIAL ANGELS -PART THREE
{ he has a mechanical heart...we can manipulate the ones with beating hearts...this one will not be manipulated...it would have been a problem...but his lifeforce is nearly over...by the time John Koenigs blood runs cold the old one will be no more}
{when will this be? We need to harvest these creatures...}
{Soon...very very soon...}

The seed was grown from the centre of the universe. A lifeseed for each and every being. And watching these seeds were the bringers of life. Then, one day, there was a galactic armageddon that destroyed the nucleus of this space.
Each atom from each life seed was spread about throughout the known cosmos...
Tara recites this speech. And the great hall in the recreational area is filled with those who want to listen. They are captivated by her tune.
Each planet was borne out of a seed. Each civilisation was made from a seed. Each galaxy was littered by at least one living entity that thrived with life and with hope and with wonder...
Commander John Koenig gets wind of this gathering and leaves his private office and goes to the recreational centre.
Each seed of life lives and thrives and exists. Most have no knowledge of their forefathers in the known galaxy.
Commander Koenig is in the travel tube. He is fuming, he paces up and down. How dare this...this...entity call upon a meeting and start preaching.
And many stories were handed down to the ancestors. These stories got more and more fabricated as time went on. Until the true path of the lifeseeds was long forgotten.
Faces from the Alphans. They look at her in awe and in wonder and how they should have done since the Earth was created. Their eyes glisten and shine and stare out in wonder.
It is time for all of you to relearn what you have long forgotten. Regain your stance within the realms of the lifeseed. Meet your destinys.
Commander Koenig said NO!
Everybody in the recreation centre turns their head at once and stare at him. The commander steps forward, His face is like thunder and he is pointing accusingly at Tara on the podium.
"You do NOT listen to what she says. We do NOT know who these people are...to trust them, we need cold hard facts"
Tara looks across to him. Her toga flaps about in the unseen wind and she smiles at him. Koenig looks at the faces around him as he steps further into the room, "Whose idea was this? Who told you all to gather in here?"
And it is Helena who turns around...
Don't you see John...these people have come to save us from the cold. They are angels John...can't you see that...they are angels...
John grasps hold both of Helena's shoulders and he wants to shake her. What mind control is this? It had to be some kind of mind control.
Tara comes forward and the Alphans that have gathered, part for her to come through, "Commander Koenig please...your people have decided to help us...they want to give us their life seeds. The men AND the woman. Don't you too wish for you people to be standing far and high"
Koenig narrows his eyes at her, "But it is NOT that is it? You want to create and modify a race of people that will replace those that you have lost...BUT WHAT FOR..."
Adam was then in the doorway...he and Tara look at one another...a tint of red in their eyes. Like they are somehow communicating...mind speak...Adam had said after the medical check that they could read brain waves.
Adam breaks contact and stares at John, "Commander Koenig...you doubt we speak the truth? We can understand that...your ordeal through your travels on your runnaway moon, you have come up against so much...webs of lies in those you have encountered...we are different"
{This creature stalls for time...he is delaying the harvast...we need the lifeseeds grown...only then we can overcome and win the war...but it must be soon...the enemy will be upon us soon...}
{You broke the mindlink Thsese...I have spoken to the Great one...the war council are ready...we just need the fodder}
{and the fodder will be grown...how it pains to force our tools of battle into extinction...but then again it can not be helped...it is their destiny...}
John Koenig looks at each and every face around him in the recreation centre, "GET BACK TO YOUR POSTS NOW!"
Nobody moves.
"THAT WAS AN ORDER!"
In amongst the sighs, the Moonbase personnel begins to move in their separate ways to get back to their tasks in hand.
Koenig watches them head out the door, then turns to Adam and Tara, who stand together at the podium, " You two are to remain here...do you understand?"
Adam nods and the commander leaves.
{I will use the time to commune with the war council...}
{Agreed...but the plan MUST be actioned soon...there cannot be an further delay}

Commander Koenig walks into Main Mission and sees Professor Bergman at the helm, "John, I was about to call you"
The commander crosses over to him, "What is it Victor?"
The older man nods up to the big screen, "At the corner of the screen..."
John squints, "What is it I am looking at?"
Sandra turns, "I have got some peculiar readings commander...there IS something out there"
David Kano was agreeing, "Computer is registering somekind of mass Commander, but of what kind it is still hard to tell"
John rubs his chin in thought, "Do you think this has to do with our two friends in the recreation centre?"
"I'm not sure about that John, who knows...but it is more than a coincedence if it is, that's what I would say"
Paul Morrow turns from where he is sitting, "Don't you think a closer look would answer your questions, Commander...", a flash of darkness in his eyes as he looks at him.
John was looking up at the big screen and pacing up and down, then he turns to Sandra, "Get in touch with Carter and tell him to get Eagle two-Ten ready for immediate lift off, come on Paul, lets SEE if there's something up there"
Sandra did as she is ordered.
XXXXXXXXXXXX
Adam and Tara look at one another, their hands are locked together as the lights and particles glitter around them in the recreation centre.
{WARNING: CODE 4 Commander Koenig and the alien are about to leave Alpha and head towards the nucleus...PUT CODE RED into operation...}
And as Adam opened his eyes a red aura overwhelmes him as the room around him suddenly becomes transparent...and they are faced with the WAR COUNCIL.
