THE BLACK VERITECH

Capítulo 8: On the way home

The veritechs carefully placed the pod zentraedi in the hangar and Knight and the others came out very relieved.

"I can't believe it, you're alive!" one of the mechanics told them, who together with other mechanics and pilots surrounded them impressed and bombarded them with many questions.

"Rick, Knight, I can't believe it, it's true, you're alive!" Roy shouted white from the shock and went to embrace Rick, just as a father would with his lost and found son.

"Roy....you won't let me breathe....cut it out, brother..." Rick complained, but with a smile on his lips.

"I don't understand, how did you escape?" Roy asked

"That's a long story, Roy, I'd better tell you tomorrow," Rick said.

"I don't think we can afford that, Rick," said Lisa, "I'm sure the captain would like to see us right away."

Lisa was not wrong as the pilots were informed that the captain wanted them to go to him. Lisa and the others went to Global's and gave him a brief report about his confinement and subsequent escape, as well as questions from the zentraedi interrogation.

"Very intriguing was the reaction of the enemy," he told them and proceeded to light his pipe.

"In particular, the matter of the protoculture they were talking about" Global said "is very mysterious.... And the number of enemy ships..."

Global thanked them for the report and congratulated them for their happy return, but indicated that they should all report to a meeting tomorrow to give a more detailed report to the other commanders of the ship.

Knight collapsed on his bed as soon as he was in front of it, cursing that he had to go to the meeting very early in the morning.

The next day, Knight and the others went to a military hall and gave a detailed report of the events they faced from the capture of Lisa's ship to the successful escape from the Zentraedi ship. The ship's commanders did not believe the pilots' report on the number of enemy ships, nor did they believe the information they were given about protoculture.

"Damn dinosaurs," complained Knight after the meeting was over. He and everyone else was heading to the city to enjoy a day of rest that was given to them by Global.

"Aren't you coming with us, Lisa?" Knight, who was already on a first-name basis with the woman after her affair on the Zentraedi ship, asked her.

"No, I want to catch up on everything that happened in our absence."

"Please Lisa, you didn't want to be with us, and neither you nor Rick told us how your part of the adventure went when you separated from us," said Knight and both Lisa and Rick blushed a little.

"I think you two are getting along much better than before," Ben said happily.

"No, I'm sorry, but I'd like to go to the bridge and meet Claudia and the girls," declined Lisa's invitation, "Besides, wouldn't you like to come, Knight? I'm sure you're looking forward to meeting Sammie."

"With Sammie, why?" asked Max.

"You didn't know, she and Knight are dating," Lisa told them.

"WHAT!!" shouted the pilots with the exception of Rick.
