As we had been informed of the planet where those nasty and vile creatures had come from and since we had already gained knowledge and fighting skills my uncle told me there was just one more thing to do before we could go to Subterrea; we were to go to another planet that hired out their men - sort of soldiers-for-hire to any planet or being who could pay.
At this point I was wondering whether my uncle would be able to pay, as I had not seen anything you could call currency being carried by him, and what form of payment would be required of him.
He took the tiny Lwanda and off we went.
We appeared in another world where most of it seemed like an industrial complex. Where there were machines at work and beings that seemed to be supervising the works.
Uncle went and spoke to one of them in a foreign tongue and we were ushered in to see another that looked more dignified and commanding than the first one.
After they spoke for a while we were given another one who went with us to another complex and when he opened it we saw a big factory and the things which were being made were humanoid robots.
They had a body and shape like us (both male and female) and could even reason to a degree as they were highly intelligent but my uncle informed me that they were programmed to obey without questioning. They had fighter jets, tanks that walked like spiders and flying machines that only two people could ride on.
I asked my uncle how many they were and I was informed that they were - within where we were and other complexes: 1,500,000 soldiers, 1500 junior officers, 15 senior officers and 3 commanding officers that would be directly answerable to my uncle and I. There were 500 fighter jets, 600,000 tanks and 400,000 jet-bikes. There was also provisions beyond measure for us and the humanoid robots.
My uncle had overall command and I was his number two.
We divided the soldiers into 3 groups - and uncle took two; 2 Commanders, 10 senior officers, 1000 junior officers and 1 million soldiers, 400 fighter jets, 400,000 tanks and 250,000 jet-bikes for my uncle and the remainder for me.
This time round everyone was told to touch someone and something and then we were off.
