Chapter 8

New Friends

“Mama, do you know that is most likely one of the biggest understatements of the year.”

“And you my dear are a smart ass. However you do tell the truth more often than not. Not always in the most diplomatic manner possible, but always truthful.” She just had to get in a lesson on the use of diplomacy. I mean what’s wrong with telling an individual that they’re an ass hat to their face. Seeing as how she has my attention. “Maiha, there is a very, very old saying. It goes like this ‘You catch more bees with honey, than you do with vinegar.’ Do you understand?”

“Yes mama, I understand, but I like another very old saying. ‘You get more done with a kind word and a gun, than just a kind word.’” I know that I’m pushing it, but she must understand that when dealing with the military my way works better. “While I do agree with you I have been a little heavy handed at times with the civilian population, you must understand that it is at times when dealing with the military my way is best.”

“A little heavy handed, Maiha? Now you are the one making the understatement of the year. Please, hear me out. Yes, there are times that you must be that way, especially when it comes to the men of our military. I can see that they can be; how shall we say, pigheaded. Not to mention short sighted, but it is for this reason we must educate them as to their misconceptions. Not pound them over the head with a two-by-four. Though you may wish to do so, it is not always the most profitable, shall we say?” at the look of confusion she quickly explains. “The suits, child. Think about it. Would you have given this type of suit to a novice pilot when you were younger?”

I swear that if I was one of those ancient two-d cartoon vid characters I would have a light bulb going off over my head. “I take it mama that you also figured out Col. Powel’s plan get his hands on those Power Suits out there?”

“Oooh yes, my dear, I did indeed.” There was a note of finality in her voice that did not bode well for Col. Powel of the Black Knights. “What would be the greatest insult to that man’s ego, child?”

As I stand there thinking of how to turn this obvious setup for failure to our advantage. Mama leans in to whisper in my ear. “I believe it is time for a little ‘inner guidance’ child.” Holy shit, Dee De and Charley may know how to set up the suits for optimal performance.

“All right kiddies’ front and center. I have a little job for you.”

About time honey. (Dee De)

By your command, Lady Nakatoma. (Charley)

“Before we get started. Charley what’s with all this ‘by your command’ stuff?”

Oh he’s been looking at some ancient two-d vids about a race of cyborgs from the late twentieth century.
