Lord Benjamin Lawrence Carey, Duke of Langley Territory

The Star-Fleet Dinner and Dance

Lt Kevin Thomas Riley and Lt. Richard Williams drives up to Madame's Boarding House in his mustang. They are listening to some good old rock and roll from Planet Earth on Lt. William radio.

The gentlemen had their choice to wear the finest suits and so did the ladies likewise with the best dress rather than their dress uniforms.

Kevin Thomas Riley and Richard Williams wear their finest street clothes and they drive off to pick up Karissa at Madame's Boarding School.

Kevin looks at Richard " Why don't you turn on the radio and let's listen to some music?" Kevin asks.

"No problem, buddy." Richard tells Kevin, and he turns on the radio as they drive to Bedford Territory to pick up Karissa.

Karissa is waiting in front of the manor and she is sitting on the porch as Richard and Kevin drive and she is dressed in a Regency style dress and bonnet.

Richard stops his car and they climb out of the car and they walk up to where Madame and Karissa are sitting and they smile " You look beautiful Karissa. You will surely outshine all those students tonight." Kevin tells her.

"I have reserved a table in the corner and I hear they are serving a delicious buffet and the music will be great." Richard tells Karissa.

"I look forward to all the students who are just like us." Karissa tells them.

"For sure. The students are just like us, Karissa. No fancy titles, no aristocrats, just simple folks like us." Kevin admits.

Richard tells them " One day, The Aristocracy will come to an end on Star Base 12 and it will form a more just government. "

"There will be no Dukes, Marquesses, Earls, Viscounts, Barons or Counts governing Star Base 12." Richard tells them" I can't wait for the day when The United Federation of Planets does it."

"Lord Frederick William Howard excluded his eldest son because he married for love, and his daughter for being a woman." Richard states.

"Lord Charles Andrew Howard Senior and his son are no better. Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR has two daughters with children on Star Base 10, but according to him they are not fit to govern because they are girls." Richard tells them.

Karissa looks at Richard and asks "What. I guess these damn aristocrats never heard of Queen Elizabeth I of England, Queen Victoria, Empress Matilda, Empress Katherine I and II of Russia and Kosem, Sultana of The Ottoman Empire?"

"I doubt if any ever graduated from that fancy parochial school that they said that they attended." Kevin admits.

Karissa starts to think about how to change things on Star Base 12 and there is only one way, but she will do it slowly to ensure the outcome she wants for the sake of her daughter, Elizabeth Victoria Ann Beltane.

Lord Andrew Charles needs a heiress and she wants a daughter, and it will be Her daughter that brings about the much needed change to Star Base 12 but at a great price and that marriage with Lord Andrew Charles Howard.

Karissa knows that Lord Andrew Charles wants her but she does really want her daughter to be Lord Andrew Charles' heiress.

Karissa decides to take a chance and gamble that on their first try she will conceive the daughter of her dreams, but how she does go about it.

Karissa makes sure that Lord Andrew Charles Howard knows what she most desires and she baits the trap to catch herself the youngest son of The Dukedom of Norfolk Territory and her agenda is to make sure that her daughter crushed the patriarch that Lord Patrick William Howard stated in 2165.
