Dan Sherman Space Guardian All Worlds

Lost Ship - part four

I looked at Debra, she already knew my thoughts. The Captain was now rooted to the spot, and totally stiff. Will you please take him to the sleep-tubes?’ I said.

The security people were still training their weapons on us.

One security man who I now realized was second-in-command of security started to approach me. He said, ‘As my boss is in a coma and in sleep-mode I am now taking over control.’ Then the actual second-in-command of the ship said, ‘No you’re not, I am in charge while the Captain is away.’ The security man then pointed his weapon at him and said, ‘When it comes to the security of this ship I am in charge.’

I looked at Reeas. She whispered, ‘Dan, we have less than thirty-five minutes before we reach the Meridian.’

‘Yes,’ I said in a low voice, ‘I know.’

I couldn’t explain to them that a Non-Human alien race would destroy them in a short while. ‘Right,’ I said, ‘time to act.’

I looked at Debra, she already knew what to do, everyone on the bridge just walked off to their stations of work or rest.’

Thank you, Debra.’ I said.

‘No problem, big-boy.’ she said. Reeas just started to laugh.

Tyren was in the room with us, I knew she was somewhat confused but she could understand something of who we were.

‘I knew you would come, someday’ she said.

‘What do you know of us?’ I said.

‘I know I see you in my dreams.’ She said.

‘Don’t even think about it!’ Debra said, taking hold of Tyren’s arm.

‘Debra, please,’ I said. ‘She is a Potential-Guardian.’

‘I know, Dan, but she has feelings for you, I can tell.’

‘Yes, and I have feelings for Reeas, what do you think of that?’

I wish I hadn’t said that, as Debra suddenly grabbed Reeas by the arm.

‘What is happening?’ I said. ‘OK, back to the ship and that’s an order,’

I was feeling pretty scared at that moment, I can tell you. Debra was all powerful and I knew it. I had to keep my thoughts on the job and not get emotionally involved; I know it is silly,

but I don’t know what she will do in anger, so to speak.

Back on the ship we could see a message had just come through for the Amiron ship; it said to turn away from Groveelion space or be destroyed. I instructed Debra to assess all the data from the Groveelions, after a short time we had enough Data to trim down their numbers by mainly assessing their mental or rather etheric state. We had, by now, realigned the Amiron Ship; it could now travel home in eight point two Years, Tyren was escorted over to our ship, and she formerly accepted training as a Guardian, she was excited but not overly concerned, and that is a really good sign, it means she can cope with the stress and there will be stress, my student friends.

OK, now for the Good bit. To experience a ship like the Amiron being upgraded by a lightship is really special; also the crew was to be retrained in whatever was needed to get them back to Amiron. Most of the crew was happy to be going home although they had never been on a Planet! What would the People on Amiron think when they get back.  All of the crews Relatives long dead!

It had been 375 years for the crew but it was twelve thousand six-hundred years for the Planet Amiron! The distance was only a paltry 350 light years, but with time-dilation you can, as it were, time travel.

For those students who want to be exact, please be aware that the ship was not always traveling at light speed, also they were stopped for a number of years to make repairs, whatever the outcome, they will be very late! OK, not wanting to blow our own horns, we did pretty well I think. Now, you say, why did we have to go through all that when we could had done it all aboard our ship, well, all I can say is it is a learning thing for us all, and as Zelda 3 said, we had to leave it till the last minute to get more info.

Amiron already knows about Guardians, so that won’t be a problem when they get back.’

OK, Debra I said, back to the base.’

‘No Problem, Daddy,’ she was now also giving me a shoulder massage;

I must admit I liked it. Reeas just had to laugh. Tyren just looked on in a confused way.
