Karen and Moya were becoming fast friends while planning the wedding with Karen's parents, they forgot that the Grand Admiral, Derna and Rick were planning on revisiting the Gomtu. The science shuttle arrived with the Grand Admiral on board, Rick and Derna boarded followed by Bryan.
"Young man you behave when meeting the Gomtu or you will not be able go again." Karen shouted from the back porch.
"Don't worry Mommy, and I will be good for the Grand Admiral." He yelled back.
"He really admires the Admiral, almost as much as he admires Rick." Karen said watching the shuttle close up and take off.
"Yes, along with several million Teyven who read of his military exploits over the last fifty years." Said Moya.
"Moya would you be my maid of honor?" Asked Karen.
"If this is similar to being your second in Teyven culture, yes I would be honored too." She said to put an arm around Karen. "Derna was beaming ear to ear when he told me Rick asked him to be his best man last night."
Out in front of the house a limo pulled up to the house, out of it stepped the vice president, Colonel Hunter and a secret service agent. A large SUV pulled up behind the limo and four secret service agents got out of it. They started to walk up the walkway when the four secret service agents were stunned by Teyven weapons and fell to the ground. The other agent tackled the Vice President and both him and the Colonel had their gun drawn. Two more blasts of energy and their guns dropped to the ground, five members of the elite Teyven security unit ran out from their locations. They used a cloaking technology that made them invisible, and they reached the trespassers in a matter of seconds. Colonel Hunter took a swing at one of the security guards only to have it blocked, he was struck in the chest twice and his arm twisted around him. He groaned loudly in pain as the guard-twisted arm and held him down on the ground.
"Stop your hostilities or we will be forced to stun you." Said a security guard who was obviously in charge.
"Don't you fools know who IAM?!" Shouted the Vice President pushing himself up from the ground with the help of the secret service agent.
"No, right now you are uninvited trespassers." Said the guard in charge. "Front yard secure, Ms. Jansen could you come out and identify the intruders please."
A few minutes later Karen, Moya and her mother came out and found the subdued party of the Vice President of the United States. He looked very angry and the men with him looked like they had been bested and did not want anything more to do with the Teyven.
"Yes this is the Vice President and you must be Colonel Hunter." She said disapprovingly of the men.
"Now can you call off your security." The vice president said indigently.
"Guards return to stealth mode and return to your posts." Ordered Moya. "Now what do we owe this intrusion?"
"Intrusion, need I remind you that your people are here as guests of the United States, this is United States territory and you asked for the help of the United States and the rest of the world in combating a threat to your race." Colonel Hunter replied with arrogance.
"May I remind you that this is the property of Charles and Mary Jansen, we pay our taxes and my husband is a veteran, so unless the constitution receives a major rewrite, you are trespassing." Mary Jansen said to wag a finger in Hunters' face. "Calm down everyone please, let me explain to why we are here." Said vice president Haynes. "We have tried to contact the ambassador and several times we have been told that he will contact us when he is ready, then we hear of his wedding on the news, yet no one from our government or any other government has been invited to attend."
"You are mad that we snubbed you." Karen laughed. "My big day and you want in, looks we agreed to allowing FOX news, CNN, MSNBC and BBC to film live for the world to see, this is only a small intimate service for family and friends."
"So then where is your husband?" Asked Hunter.
"He and the others went to see the Gomtu, when they return you will get the answers you seek." Said Karen. "So please leave us alone until my fiancee returns."
"Very well then, tell him that if we do not hear from him soon, it will strain the relationship between the Teyven and the United States." Said the Vice President. They watched the men leave the yard and get in their vehicles dejectedly, they sped away and out of the neighborhood. The women went back into the home with every intention of putting the encounter behind them. Meanwhile the shuttle arrived at Europa and went in through the opening in the ice of the moon. The Gomtu swam to meet them by an opening in the crust where the glow of lava lit the general area.
"Welcome back Bryan." The three said telepathically in everyone minds.
"Hello Gomtu." He said back using his mind. "I've been practicing, can you tell?"
"Yes young one, you are very good." Said Ovik. "Grand Admiral, grandson of Dewar and Rick what does we owe this visit?"
"Gomtu we are stressed over a decision to make involves a leader of the United States and a person he wants to be a military observer. Something tells us that neither of these men can be trusted, can you tell us anything of them?" Asked the Grand Admiral.
"Tevik will seek out the two minds in question." Said Ovik.
"Yes you are right not to trust these two, Vice President Haynes is seeking power, power enough to make Earth a galactic empire. Colonel Hunter seeks power and will do anything Haynes wants to achieve it, neither can be trusted." Tevik explained.
"I have searched the future, the impending battle this Colonel Hunter will cause the death of one of you, I cannot see the outcome of the battle nor which one of you is going to die." Korvik explained.
"Also I have been in contact with several other space going races that are within range of helping, only one has answered my call to arms." Said Ovik.
"You found us an ally?!" Said Derna.
"Yes they are sending three warships." Said Ovik.
"Only three ships, don't they have more?" Asked Rick.
"No three is all they have needed from the beginning of time." Explained Ovik. "They are known in the galaxy as the Triad, they are still humanoid yet they are on the verge of evolving into energy creatures.
"Stories of the Triad my grandfather told me when I was a child, they were known to fight only empires that were evil and oppressive and on the verge of becoming too powerful." Said the Grand Admiral.
"Yes and now they want to live up to that reputation one more time before they evolve." Said Ovik.
"What is to stop they from helping us after they evolve?" Asked Derna.
"Complicated." Said Korvik.
"A race of energy beings known to be the oldest of all life in the universe, their name is unknown, yet they have made themselves self-appointed governors over all energy beings and they have forbidden any energy being race from interfering in the affairs of corporeal beings." Explained Tevik.
"They will arrive within the next thirty days." Said Ovik "Bryan we will be sending you lessons in your dreams young man."
"Lessons, like when mommy taught me my ABC's." He laughed hoping it will be fun.
"Sort of, but we will teach you how to develop the power in your mind." Said Ovik.
"You will be able to communicate telepathically with ease, use your mind to defend yourself and others and foresee future events." Said Tevik.
"Wow." Said the youngster.
"Now none of this will hurt him, will it?" Asked Rick.
"Never would we harm young Bryan." Said Ovik. "Never."
The Gomtu turned and swam away from the shuttle, the pilot of the shuttle led it back out of the water and into space again.
"Pilot return to earth, tell my command shuttle to go to Rick's farm, it has the coordinates already." Ordered the grand admiral. "I've made my decision about this Colonel Hunter, let him work with my command staff, we have nothing to hide and it may be our chance to prove Korvik's prediction wrong."
"What about Haynes?" Asked Rick.
"Derna did your grandfather ever tell you of a place called Tegathu Minor?" Asked the Grand Admiral.
"A few time, planet full of bounty hunters and assassin, pirates and smugglers, not a very nice place to visit." Said Derna.
"I will prepare a closed beam message to get through our enemies, I will contact Hela'alta, she has done some work for me and your grandfather in the past, she is the only one I trust for this mission." Explained the Grand Admiral.
"You want to kill Haynes?" Rick asked.
"Only if it becomes necessary." Said the grand admiral. "I will contact her tonight."
Back on Earth, in a motel room outside of the town that Rick and Karen live in the Vice President's group is holed up. They finally receive the message they are waiting for, the day after the wedding Colonel Hunter is to drive out to Rick's farm and join the Grand Admiral's command staff.
"Colonel this is the first step to our obtaining the power we so deserve." The two men laughed as the secret service brought in a few strippers from a local roadhouse.
"Yes Mister Haynes, to the victors will go the spoils." He said getting up and roughly grabbing a girl. "On your knees bitch."
The young woman fell to her knees and he grabbed the back of her hair, he roughly shoved his cock into her mouth and began to fuck her face hard. He thought in the back of his mind how he wished he was fucking that Teyven bitch, Karen and even her mother, then he spewed his cum into her mouth. He began to laugh an evil and hideous laugh as the young woman choked on his thick globs of cum.
Space, a cold vastness, it is both a cruel mistress and a beautiful lady to those who frequent her. Hela'alta made space her home on board her light star cruiser the Lusty Wench, she has used it to raid robot freighters of their cargo, elude the authorities and take on missions for a price paid for by the wealthy who could not get their hands dirty.
Now a communication was coming from a location far away, from someone whom she considered a friend, a mentor and he needed her for a mission. Grand Admiral Kova'aval was asking her to come to a place called Earth, for a mission he felt she was best qualified for. She remembered the days of her youth when she served as a young lieutenant aboard a battle cruiser the Grand Admiral commanded.
He taught her everything he could on tactics, commanding a ship and being a good citizen to the Teyven Empire. Then on one fateful mission to capture the pirate Drek'aka she lost everything she held dear to her. She was having a passionate affair with a pirate and when Kova'aval had an opportunity to capture him, she helped him escape prosecution.
One day in a battle with Kova'aval her beloved Drek was killed and she was captured, Kova took mercy on her, pregnant with the pirate's child. He made out his official report that she too had died in the battle and then he let her go. She had made quite a name for herself since then, alway managing to stay one step ahead of the law and making a small fortune for her services.
The message simply stated 'I need your help, I have a mission for you, deep in your heart you are still a citizen of the Teyven Empire, you owe me and you owe the empire. Kova'. She deleted the message after she typed the coordinates into the ship's computer navigation system.
"Where are we off too this time mother?" Asked her son from the engineering station.
"Well Kova'alta we off to a planet called Earth so I can help an old friend, you will get to meet your namesake as well, the Grand Admiral Kova'aval." She explained to her handsome son.
"Mother are you insane, which would be like turning ourselves in, turn us around and head back for Tegathu Minor." He pleaded.
"No son, after today I'm done being a pirate, an outlaw, a mercenary, I want to live a quiet life, maybe this will get me back into service in the fleet and maybe get you into the academy. You are smart enough, you know engineering, science and you are a good pilot as well." She explained to her son. "I loved your father, I loved the excitement he offered as a pirate, yet I love the empire and I miss it."
"Sorry mother, it has been the only life I've known." He said to her in soft voice. "I will abide by your wishes, it will take us eight days at full power, I recommend using three quarters power for half of the trip and we will get there in twelve days and not cause major fuel depletion and a drain on the ship's power systems."
"I will compromise with you Kova, we will travel on full power for six days and three quarters for the remainder of the trip. That will put us at earth in." Before she could answer, her son was answering for her.
"That will put us at Earth in nine point six four days." He answered for her, she was very proud of her son, he is too smart and too good to be a pirate.
The ship lurched forward and the star drive kicked the ship into sub light speed, someday somebody will come along and develop a way to break the light barrier, who know maybe it will be her son.
Meanwhile on Earth, Rick and Karen had gotten married and were off enjoying their honeymoon in a secret location. Bryan was staying with Maya out at the farmhouse, and he enjoyed playing with her and Derna's children during the day. At night when he slept his dreams were filled with the Gomtu, and they were teaching him in his dreams. They were developing his mind teaching him how to use it to its fullest potential.
Bryan was already showing increased ability to use his mind, he could read the thoughts of the other children, he could move small objects and he could foresee future events, even if it was only a few hours into the future. This morning as he sat and ate cereal with the other children, he blanked out as if he was in some kind of trance.
"Bryan, are you all right?" Asked Maya. "Bryan!?"
"I need to talk to the Grand Admiral, right away Maya." He said calmly.
"I will take you out to the shuttle, children behave while I'm gone, come along Bryan." She said to take the boy by the hand and leading him out to the shuttle.
The two of them got on board the shuttle and sat down at the communications console, she was able to contact the dreadnought and the grand admiral. He too was just finishing his breakfast, but he was both delighted and concerned to hear from Bryan.
"Bryan, my boy, what is it that is so urgent for you to speak to me?" Asked the old man.
"Sir I saw them, they are coming and they are coming today." He said excitedly.
"Who my boy, who is coming?" He asked with amused bewilderment.
"I saw two fleets both of them different, one was a small fleet of large ships, they belonged to a bunch of people who looked like gorillas. They called themselves the Goronites, their leader called himself Graga, he is very mean. The others had a large fleet of small ships belonging to a bunch of creatures who look like big bugs. They were communicating back and forth with each other, they said a person named Delag'ala is wrong and they intend to strike while you are at your weakest." Bryan explained everything he heard and saw in his vision.
"Well thank you Bryan, this has been very helpful, now you run along and play, I will handle this personally." The Grand Admiral turned off the communications.
"Well Bryan, why don't you go get the other children, they said something about wanting to build a fort out of the scrap lumber in back of Rick's barn." Said Maya. "Let me know right away if you have any more visions."
With that the boy ran out of the shuttle and back up to the farmhouse, Patton and Rommel were sitting on the front porch waiting for the boy to return. Then the children and the two dogs, were heading behind the barn to build a fort.
"Scamble the royal fighter squadron, moves the fleet out to the edge of the system, full battle alert." Ordered the Grand Admiral.
"Royal fighter squadrons have been launched, coordinates sir?" Asked Derna'ala over the communications system.
"Derna, we have reason to believe that the Goronites and the Zentoids fleets have broken off from the main force. They are preparing a surprise attack, I want your squadron to do combat patrol, if you make contact, communicate the location and rejoin the fleet." Ordered the Grand Admiral.
"Yes sir, commander Derna out." He said.
About two hours later his squadron made contact with the two different fleets, the intelligence reports were right the Goronites and the Zentoids have sent every ship they had in their military. Derna ordered his fighters to turn back and he sent the location to the Grand Admiral.
"Attention fleet we will split into three wings, Commodore Kata'tal will command the left wing, Commodore Tayat'amak will command the right wing. The royal squadron will form up on the dreadnought and we will use battle formation Gamma seven, right wing you will attack in battle formation Delta nine and left wing you will use the classic power V formation. The attack will begin on my mark, good luck." The Grand Admiral watched on the main viewscreeen as the ships took formation.
The fighters arrived and they formed up on the massive dreadnought, the large ship lurched forward and the attack was beginning. The plan was for the dreadnought and the fighters to crash through the enemies lines and wreak havoc. Then the right wing would come in and engage, the left wing using the power V was designed to come around and close the enemy off.
The attack began with a large volley of heavy laser fire coming from the enemy, the fighters dodged and then started targeting the cannons on the enemy ships. The dreadnought with its heavier shielding and larger weapon's load was blasting its way through. Several Goronites ships were now disabled and a large number of Zentoid ships were destroyed.
The right wing was now fully engaged with the enemy as they were now in full battle, one that the Goronites and the Zentoid's had no hope of winning as they were only inflicting minimum damage on the Teyven ships. The Goronite flagship was destroyed and seventy percent of the Zentoid fleet was also gone, they signaled retreat.
As the enemy ships were attempting to turn and run the left wing came sweeping in, it's V formation was blocking the escape. They finished off the enemy fleet, leaving no survivors, it may sound cruel, but anyone whoever fought the Goronites' and the Zentoids' you would know they would rather die than to be captured.
"Fleet damage reports." Ordered the Grand Admiral.
"This is Commander Derna'ala we have lost four fighters, two heavily damaged, eight light damaged, that makes our casualties at four dead and ten wounded." Reported Derna'ala.
"This is Commodore Tayat'amak we lost one heavy cruiser and two light cruisers, one battle cruiser has sustained heavy damage, all other ships report moderate or minor damage. So far our casualty report is one hundred and twenty-five dead and one hundred forty three wounded." He reported. "We are retreating to the Mars base to make repairs."
"This is Commodore Kata'tal of the left wing, and we report very minor damage, no casualties." She reported.
"Left wings continue combat patrol, have you fighters launch for a long range re con of the area." The Grand Admiral ordered. "Androids get me Admiral Kella'dora on Earth."
"On the screen." Came the mechanical response.
"Kella we had our first battle, the Goronites and the Zentoids seem to have broken alliance with the traitors." Kova'aval reported to her the news of the battle and the ships they lost.
"Well that is good news Grand Admiral." She replied joyfully.
"Status of both how soon will the Earth fleet be ready and trained, but I have a feeling our final battle is coming soon?" He asked his trusted advisor.
"The ships will be ready in three months, and the fighters are ready now. The training is going very well, and the Earth people have a thirst to learn from us." She said proudly of the job they have done.
"That is great news Admiral, let me know if you need anything, Kova'aval out." He said in hope that the fleet would be ready in time.
Meanwhile, on Earth in an undisclosed secret location Rick and Karen were enjoying their honeymoon. Karen was complaining from time to time that she was starting to put on weight, yet Rick alway reassured her by making love to her, making her feel like the most beautiful woman in the world.
While they were enjoying dinner, Derna'ala sent them a communication that they had a battle and eliminated two of their enemies. He went on and on how this was good news for the Teyven, Rick was elated at the news and disappointed he did not get the chance to prove himself in battle.
When they got back to the hotel room Rick undressed down to his boxer shorts and laid down on the bed. Karen went into the bathroom and came out wearing a long white silk night gown, it had a long slit up the side to show off her shapely leg.
Karen slid her way up his legs climbing onto the bed, she smiles up at him when she got his crotch and she pulled his cock out. She took the semierect penis into her soft hands and licked the underside of it up and down. Rick shivered at the erotic stimulation she was giving him and then he sighed deeply when she got him fully erect, engulfing his cock into her mouth.
She loving sucked and slurped on his cock for a few minutes, then she stopped climbing on top of him. She raised the nightgown up to her waist and lowered her pussy down onto his waiting manhood. Karen began to slowly lower herself up and down on her husbands cock, moaning softly as she did. Rick reached up and pulled the night gown down off of her breasts, he gently teased and fondled her sensitive tits.
Soon the intensity of the loving making increases as Karen begins to bounce harder and faster on his cock, her breathing and moaning become louder as she approaches orgasm, then together as if they had perfected their timing they both came together.
Falling asleep in each other arms, Rick dreaming of glory in a future space battle, Karen dreaming of her husband, her son and their future child having a peaceful long life.The small light cruiser made its approach to the Sol's system ignoring the patrolling warships outside the system. Now they were in hot pursuit and they had communicated a warning ahead for the rest of the fleet that a rogue ship was approaching.
"It is heading straight for the dreadnought." Said the voice of one unidentified ship commander.
"Intercept, intercept it now!" Screamed the voice of Kata'tal
"Time to intercept is three minutes, but we won't make it." Said another commander.
"Grand Admirals, you have an unidentified rogue vessel approaching, please take evasive action." Commodore Kata'tal signaled the mighty dreadnought.
"That won't be necessary Commodore, I know the vessel and have requested its presence, I suggest your wing practice high speed intercepts, your commanders and helmsman must be getting a little lax in tactics." He said not happily that they were not able to stop the light cruiser.
"Yes Grand Admiral, Kata out." Said the dejected Commodore.
The androids gave the light cruiser to dock and it came along the port airlock, the docking connection was complete and the airlock opened. Out stepped a young man with long dark green hair, his golden skin marred by a few scars, he kept his right hand on the butt of a laser pistol.
The security androids had already had weapons drawn on him, but it would be suicide for him to draw against the high tech machines. Then out stepped his a beautiful woman, older than the young man, her face with a small scar on the left cheek, she was unarmed and gave the young man a disapproving look. He removed his hand from the butt of the laser pistol and stood with his hands on his hips.
The doors to the compartment swished open and in walked the Grand Admiral of the Teyven fleet Kova'aval. The large man towered over the younger man, he looked down at him and smiled, then he and the beautiful woman hugged, for it had been years since they had last seen each other.
"Kova'alta this here is your name sake and my old friend the Grand Admiral of the Teyven fleet Kova'aval." She introducing him to the grand admiral.
"You mean the man who killed my father." He spat.
"Yes but your father did hit him with a laser shot that took off half of his nose." She laughed.
"Boy, you and your mother have lived a pirate's life, your father knew the dangers of being a pirate and your mother warned him several times of making an enemy of me." Explained the Grand Admiral letting her go.
"He's right Kova and if it wasn't for him sparing me, I would have given birth to you on some hell hole of a penal planet. I owe him my life and my loyalty, as my son I expect you to give him the same respect." She said sternly to her son.
"If he is so great, how come he let the Empire gets overrun with our enemies and traitors?" He asked sarcastically.
"Kova!" His mother said in a raised voice.
"No, no Hela I deserve that, maybe I'm at fault, I grew to comfortable being at peace that I forgot what war was like. I promise you boy when we do take the fight to traitors, I will regain the Empire and do what our late Emperor wanted, ushering in a new era of democracy for the people." He said with guilt in his voice.
"So you have a mission for me?" Asked Hela.
"Yes my dear follow me to the briefing room." He said
They followed him through the corridors until they got to the briefing room, it was a large room with a big table and a giant view screen in it. On the tables were pitchers of water, juice and a drink the grand admirals had grown fond of since coming to Earth, root beer. Also there were several different pastries which he had shuttled in from Earth, another Earth item he had grown fond of as well, the jelly donut.
"Please sit and help yourselves, you will find that the Earth has many delicacies to offer." Said the Grand Admiral.
The nervously smelled and examined everything, Hela settled on a glass of water and a bear claw, while Kova poured a glass of root beer and two glazed donuts. Then the Grand Admiral turned on the giant view screen and the image of Colonel Maxwell Hunter appeared.
"This is Colonel Maxwell Hunter of the planet Earth, his world is split up into many country states, his is one of the most powerful called the United States of America. They want him to be our military attache so to speak, but I do not trust him and feel he needs to be watched on a constant basis. Hela this is where you come in, I feel you are the one person who can both get him to let his guard down and see if he is plotting against us and our alliance with the Earth." He explained.
"Our all Earthers this untrustworthy?" Asked Kova.
"No, as a matter of fact in a few minutes you will meet one of the people of Earth, that even our crown prince would trust with his life and the life of his family. He is also our ambassador to the Earth, his name is Rick Thomas and he is a good man." The Grand Admiral beamed with pride while talking about Rick.
"So when do you want me to start?" Asked Hela.
"Tomorrow, I will introduce you to Colonel Hunter, and I'm reinstating you into the fleet at the rank of Commander. I will tell Colonel Hunter as part of our security procedures that you will be the one who will be our liaison officer. So get you will have to get to the quartermaster and draw uniforms, as for you Kova, I will give you coordinates to our ambassadors' farm." Explained the Grand Admiral.
"Farm?" Asked the young pirate.
"Well it used to be a farm, now it's his home and he runs a garage out of it where he fixes Earth vehicles. Anyway my personnel security detail is guarding the farm, but I cannot spare any engineers to set up the security system, the shield generators and the robot laser defense cannons. Your mother has sent me letters letting me know how you have a knack for engineering and I think you will enjoy it. Also Prince Derna's wife has brought several children will be staying there, including her own and my grandchildren." Explained the Grand Admiral.
"I guess I could do it for a price of one million Teyven credits." He said laughing.
The grand admiral who had always looked at him in a kind and friendly way since they arrived changed suddenly. He now looked at the young pirate in a fierce and menacing look, one that made the young man shivers and cowers in his chair.
"Apologize now Kova." His mother demanded.
"I'm sorry sir, and I meant no offense." He said looking to see if the man calmed down.
"You dare insult me by asking for such an outrageous amount of money, you were asked to do a service to protect the children of the empire, members of the royal family and the family of our ambassador." He said to the boy, the fierce look was going away, but he still looked menacing.
"Sorry sir I forgot my place." The boy said sitting up in his chair again.
"I'm sorry Grand Admiral for my son, and he has not lived any other life other than that of a pirate, an outlaw and a mercenary." Hela said softly patting his arm.
"It's okay, I forget my temper from time to time still, however if you decide to do this your payment will be a full pardon from any crimes you have committed, entrance into the Teyven Military Academy, when we win the war. I agree with your mother I think you could do very well in the fleet, so what do you say Kova?" The grand admiral asked returning to a more friendly tone.
"I guess I could do what you ask, my father must be rolling over in his grave right about now." He sighed.
"Kova you never knew your father, not the way I did, yes he was handsome and somewhat of a rogue, but he was also cold and cruel. He murdered a pleasure yacht full of young academy graduates on vacation before they were to join the fleet. I never told you this, but I helped the Grand Admiral lay the trap, that led to your father's death." Hela explained to her son.
"Why mother, why would you do such a thing?" He asked tearing up.
"Why, because I did not want you to grow up and become the same cold, cruel person your father was." She said. "I did it for you, so you would have a chance to live and hope someday for an opportunity like this to serve the empire again, together.
"Shuttle docking." Announced an android.
"Ah, Rick is here, come let's get down to the flight deck." Said the Grand Admiral.
He led the mother and son out of the briefing room and down to the flight deck, as the shuttle was making final shut down procedures. The doors to the flight deck opened and the three people entered the large flight deck as the shuttle doors opened.
This was going to be there first looks of someone from Earth so they were not sure what to expect from them. Then they were relieved when Rick, Karen and Bryan had walked down the ramp, other than skin color and no green hair they were just like the Teyven.
"Rick good to see you again." Said the Grand Admiral then he bowed and kissed Karen on the cheek. "Karen my dear, you are absolutely radiant."
"Yes pregnancy definitely agrees with her." Rick beamed at his new wife.
"Bryan!" Yelled the old man swooping the boy up. "Would you like to meet my old friend Hela'alta?"
"Yes Grand Admiral." He said kissing him on the cheek.
"Hela, Kova, this is Rick Thomas our ambassador to Earth and our friend, this is his wife Karen, they just got married and they going to have a child." Said the Grand Admiral making introductions.
"Who is this handsome young child?" Hela said to Bryan.
"This here is Bryan, he is Karen's son and he has a special gift, the Gomtu calls him the Beacon of Peace." The Grand Admiral said proudly.
"You're beautiful." The boy said to Hela.
"Why thank you Bryan and you I'm sure will grow to be a handsome young man." Hela complimented him right back. "The Gomtu is still in existence, I thought they were creatures of legend."
"They are legends." Said Bryan. "They are as old as time and they are going to help us defeat the bad guys."
"Oh Grand Admiral the reason for our visit is one of bringing you gifts." Karen said as she elbowed Rick in the stomach.
"I noticed in one of my encyclopedia's several pages of different dog breeds were earmarked, I asked all of the Teyven who did it and everyone said it was you." Said Rick.
"I'm sorry Rick, and I did not mean to do any damage to your books." The Grand Admiral said putting Bryan back down.
"No, thanks to you earmarking those pages, we knew what to get you for your upcoming birthday." Said Rick who took out a dog whistle and blew it.
Six puppies of various sizes come running out of the shuttle and the Grand Admiral looked as if he was going to cry. He grew fond of Rick's dogs while on Earth and every chance he got he read about them. Then he found several breeds of dogs that he would like to own himself, so when Rick found the six earmarked pages he bought him the six puppies.
First was a golden retriever puppy, next came great dane puppy, then a border collie, then a German shepherd, then a French bulldog and last but not least a Saint Bernard puppy. The crew of the shuttle began to unload pallets of puppy food and a crate of dogs supplies he would need.
"Here is a book too, which will help you learn to care for the pups." Said Karen handing him the book.
"Yes I will read it and program my androids to care for them." He said to pet them along with Hela and Kova.
"They've had all of their shots and when they are old enough we will have a vet comes up and do all of the spaying and neutering." Rick said.
"A vet?" Asked Kova.
"A doctor for animals." Said Karen politely.
"Thank you Rick, I love them all, it gets a little lonely on a ship full of androids, I constantly have the fleet channel playing just so I can hear the constant chatter of voices." He said to wipe his eyes.
Rick and family stayed for a few hours, Kova programmed a few of the maintenance droids to clean up after the dogs. After they left and Hela left to get settled in, the Grand Admiral had his best birthday ever.
