Kadaris is known as a peaceful planet. They have always kept peace throughout the galaxy. During the past week, they have been under constant attack from the Platarians . The Platarians have been a warrior race for the past few centuries. The Platarians warlord, Cedric, has finally decided to take control over the galaxy Isadon. He thought if could control Kadaris, the rest of the galaxy would be easy to take over. Some how a message from Kadaris got through the Platarian radio blocks. After Inter-Galactic Control had received the message, they sent the Galactic Ship Athena to find out what is going on at Kadaris. Without knowing it, Rutheria will meet one of sisters that she has not seen for quite a few years.
Captain's log: Galaxy Date: 3080: it seems strange that I should be assigned to go to Kadaris. The last that I understood, my sister a only was there on vacation. Red has given me the latest report for Kadaris,it seems that Cedric is up to his usual tricks. Maybe this time he will learn his lesson. Control ordered us to try to put their tails between their legs and chase them home as an Ancient Earth expression goes.
Commander R. B. Rima
'Captain, we're in the Kadarian system,' Lee reported.
'Thanks, Lee. Keep an eye out for any Platarian ships.'
After fifteen minutes, 'captain, Platarian ship off port bow and another one off starboard side.'
'Okay, Shorty. Athena, when the ships fire upon us, do not destroy them. I repeat do not destroy them. The ships should be sent far enough away to appear that they were destroyed. Do you understand?'
"Yes, I understand"
'There is a message coming over the intercom from one of the Platarian ships for you, Captain.'
'Put the dog-faced Platarian on the screen, Lark'
'Who dares to call us dog-face, horse-face woman?'
'You, my friend, what are you doing here?' Rutheria said with a smile, 'You should be back on Patari.'
'We are patrolling the area for our Lord, enemy and that is all the information I'm going to give you.'
'All right, but in the end I'm going to get all the information that I want from you or others like you, dog-face.'
'How dare you call me dog-face, for that and other insults you have called, your ship will be destroyed.'
'Is that so, dog-face and that goes for you and captain of the other Platarian ship.'
After a few seconds the Athena rocks from being hit from two laser beams hitting it from two different angles. The A-I computer aboard the Athena registers the hits and fires back. The laser beams hit the Platarian ships and the ships disappeared.
'Captain, the Platarians just fired their weapons and there goes their ships.'
'Not quite, Shorty, the Athena didn't destroy the ships. She just moved them out of our way.'
'Lee, head a course for Kadaris.'
'Aye aye, Captain.'
On Kadaris, Cedric receives the news go two of his war ships being destroyed by an Inter-Galactic Control ship. He almost went into a rampage when he heard that it was the Athena with Rutheria Rima as her captain. Instead he decided to use Avonlea Aurelia Rima as bait to lure the Athena into a trap.
'Claude, get that Control agent in here. The one Avonlea Rima.'
'Yes, my Lord. Is there anything else you want then, my Lord.'
'No, Claude, that will be all for now.'
30 minutes later, a limping Claude returned with the Control agent.
