ALTERNATIVES

“Rand, I have an idea, if I may,” said Aaron.

“Aaron, I’m not a stickler for command,we need ideas.” Rand replied.

“It’s only a part of a bigger plan, but something to help us maybe.”

“Well, let’s hear what ya got,.” Rand said

They exchanged ideas and the order in which to do it. Perry listened intently but was unable to give any advice and wasn’t sure how the plan was supposed to work. But the rest felt they had some assurance And that inspired Perry to do what ever he could. And indeed, Perry was included and would be necessary for it to work.

Not only was Perry involved, but the monks and the freighter crew as well. Master Krell was very influential in getting help from the others and assuring them that no harm would come to anyone.

They worked diligently through the late afternoon hours. Lady Luck was filled to the top with water for the long journey ahead. Monks gathered second hand attire for the crew to wear. The galley was filled with dried food goods for a non-stop trip to Coalition space. At sunset, several monks came out to bless Lady Luck though Rand shook his head in quiet disbelief.

On the mountain top, the soldiers’ observing the grounds below caught glimpses of activity..

“Captain, Captain, they’re up to something!” one of the observers alerted.

Captain Hernandez quickly responded.

“What do you see corporal?”

“It appears sir their measuring the rear of the freighter.”

“They should know we’ll stop the freighter once it leaves orbit.”

“Well, that appears to be what they’re doing sir.”

“Maybe they’re not as smart as I gave them credit for.” The Captain mused, “But I gotta give them credit for the base re-entry. That took some serious gonads, but their end is nigh.”

The sun had set and as darkness encroached the monastery the wall lighting lit the high parapets in it’s brilliant white wash. The monastery seemed to glow with a resilience that the crew had missed before. Or perhaps it was the anxiety and renewed hope that they now gained.

They were loaded to full capacity, Serena was recovering, and there were stars beckoning. Not to mention they had the blessings of the monks.

At mid-morning, two of the freighter crew came out into the blackness and started the freighter’s generators, and as planned, they activated the running lights as requested.

“Captain, they’re cranking up the freighter sir. Should we call in air support?” asked the Lieutenant.

“Negative, if we call in support they wont pick up and they might stay there. No, we want them to break atmo.”

“Make sure the fleet is alerted, but request that the fleet Commander does not scare these bastards into staying. We want ‘em out of that monastery!”.

“Yes sir,” the Lieutenant grinned.

“The last thing I want to do is have the blood of monks’ on my hands.”

At least Captain Hernandez had some measure of propriety even if he had disdain for organized religion.

At 45 minutes until sunrise Perry and Rand entered the monastery and went to Serena’s room.

“Rand gently shook Serena, “Hey Butterfly, time to wake up.
