So many regrets he thought. He stared down at his hand and commanded the nanobots to generate a red flame in the center. They did. He thought blue and the color changed quickly. It would have been that simple. Just on a thought. His thoughts were broken by a chime at the door. “Enter.”&lt;br&gt;<br /> Milkens and Herb walked in with Dawn and Adriana following.&lt;br&gt;<br /> Sean turned. “Gentlemen, please have a seat.”&lt;br&gt;<br /> They settled in, but looked nervous.&lt;br&gt;<br /> “You read the unofficial report?”&lt;br&gt;<br /> Both nodded.&lt;br&gt;<br /> “You understand your options?”&lt;br&gt;<br /> Herb said, “We do, Captain. Milk and I discussed our options . . .”&lt;br&gt;<br /> Sean raised an eyebrow.&lt;br&gt;<br /> “ . . . we’d like to stay with the Johnson as part of the Science Team.”&lt;br&gt;<br /> Sean nodded. Good he thought. “Glad to have you on board. Your decision places you under Military rule. Subject to rewards and punishments. You’re okay with that?”&lt;br&gt;<br /> “We are.”&lt;br&gt;<br /> Sean looked at Milkens.&lt;br&gt;<br /> He said, “Yes, sir. We are.”&lt;br&gt;<br /> Sean said, “Very well. Officially, our mission is to still discover alien life-forms and form alliances. GRID Command has been slowly releasing info to the general public about the Necronians. It’s now nearly impossible to keep this a secret, but we can put our own spin on it.”&lt;br&gt;<br /> Both nodded.&lt;br&gt;<br /> Sean continued, “In the coming weeks GRID Command will be sending a diplomatic ship to this planet. The Elder assumed The Senior Elder position and has agreed to meet with a Diplomatic delegation. That’s good. Unofficially, we’re still tasked with specifically looking for Necronian seeded worlds. Everything else is extra. That’s not so good.”&lt;br&gt; <br /> Herb bit the bottom of his lip.&lt;br&gt;<br /> Sean noticed, “Herb, something on your mind?”&lt;br&gt;<br /> Herb cleared his throat, “Why not so good?”&lt;br&gt;<br /> Sean said, “Magick. Are we ready? Some things are just a very bad idea. Down below mission gone wrong is a case in point.”&lt;br&gt;<br /> Herb nodded. It had been a worst case scenario nightmare. He was going to miss Dr. Loggar terribly. Not necessarily the one of weeks past, but of the eager super-genius not so obsessed with magick and power. “I understand, sir.”&lt;br&gt;<br /> Sean nodded. “Adriana, your new staff.”&lt;br&gt;<br /> Adriana smiled. “Gentlemen, follow me please. Science Team is on K-Deck. Your new home.”&lt;br&gt;<br /> The three walked out.&lt;br&gt;<br /> Dawn turned to Sean, “What did you not tell them?”&lt;br&gt;<br /> “I’m still part of The Most High and until a new Goddess has been decided upon, I’m the leading voice.”&lt;br&gt;<br /> “My Goddess, sir! You are GRID Command.”&lt;br&gt;<br /> “As long as I have full backing by them . . .”&lt;br&gt;<br /> Dawn laughed, “And who is going to challenge you?”&lt;br&gt;<br /> Sean’s smile was slight but Dawn saw it.&lt;br&gt;<br /> “And you’ve already sent in your recommendation as to the new Most High Goddess?”&lt;br&gt;<br /> The smile increased.&lt;br&gt;<br /> Dawn laughed, “Does she know?”&lt;br&gt;<br /> He shook his head slowly with an exaggerated movement.&lt;br&gt;<br /> “Are you going to tell her?”&lt;br&gt;<br /> “I’ll leave that to The Most High Council. By the time we reach Earth she should know.”&lt;br&gt;<br /> Dawn smiled. “Sir, the pool had started minutes after word about Loggar was made.”&lt;br&gt;<br /> “Cold-hearted,” Sean nodded, “I had to recuse myself from it.” &lt;br&gt;<br /> The two remained silent for a moment, staring at a lazily rotating planet. Sean sighed, “Ready, Dawn. Earth is not going to wait forever.”&lt;br&gt;<br /> “With what has happened in the last few months, I think she will.”&lt;br&gt;<br /> Sean tapped out the comm command to Top Deck. “Mr. Foster. Take us out of orbit and head back to Earth, please. No rush.”&lt;br&gt;<br /> “Course laid in and set, sir. How does fourteen days travel sound?”&lt;br&gt;<br /> “Very good. Give the two bell ring warning.”&lt;br&gt;<br /> “Yes, sir.”&lt;br&gt;<br /> Sean gave the planet one last look. The Elder allowed him to bury Kathy’s remains on the Planet. He couldn’t think of a better place. A planet full of life and hope and magick. All three things she wanted.&lt;br&gt;<br /> Two bells sounded.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt; <br /> The End&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> }}</div>
