CHAPTER 11-SHEGEKO’S COMPLAINT

Dr. Collins felt that my beard which had been trimmed neatly, went a long way in disguising who I was and gave me a certain air of authority and defiance in the position of Inspector General. He managed to change the eyes, the hair color and to general change my looks. With this make over, I don’t believe even Tess would recognize me. He also attached a hidden device on my voice box to disguise my voice.

We arrived at the coordinates at the designated time. Marvin Roberts and his Executive were there waiting for us. We had them join us aboard. It was precisely 03:00 hours. We were far enough away from the large cave compound to go unnoticed by the guards there.

We spent an hour with Marvin Roberts and his Executive Officer explaining and detailing what we wanted to see. We also told him that such inspections are conducted to help high command determine any weaknesses that might exist in our security.

We also told Marvin Roberts how proud the empire was of him for how he had been able to take not one but two mother ships from the Torens. We expressed regret that in his first encounter that he had not received his reinforcements in time to hold that mother ship.

“I bet it felt good when you blasted that mother ship while their shields were down!” I said.

“It made up for the embarrassment they caused me earlier,” he bragged.

“I hear that you have several hundred prisoners from that mother ship and that you also destroyed many of their star cruisers in this last attack,” I said.

“Your intelligence is very good,” he said. “We have over three hundred prisoners. We plan to kill them before we leave for our next mission but we haven’t done so yet because it is so nice to have the bastards as our slaves doing the mundane chores around the place. We won’t kill them if you want to take the back to Arkus to work in the mines.”

“No, we don’t have time to fool with them right now with so many inspections and reports to do.” I said.

“When do you want to begin your inspection at the camp?” he asked.

“You have everything under control there don’t you?” I asked.

“Certainly General,” he said.

“We don’t really have to make an inspection. Let’s don’t and say we did, if you get my meaning.”

You trust me is what you are telling me, he said.

We trust you unless you give us reason not to. I suggest that we spend another couple of hours here on this shuttle and fill out some paper work giving you high marks on the inspection and then let you go on back to your camp.

Is that satisfactory? I asked.

It is with me and I can assure you Captain Picks here will agree. Isn t that right Captain Picks?

Aye sir! he answered.

Now before we get into all that paperwork, is anyone hungry? I asked. Cookie has made us some chow in the galley.
