SEVEN

Tara vanished into the mission after we’d talked. The standing instructions I had from Orbital was not to interfere with any kind of relationship the Sisterhood had with the civilians and settlers. There was some kind of delicate balance between the people who lived outside the mission and the Sisters inside it. I wasn’t privy to the nature and would have to put up with whatever administrative nonsense directed to me. Whatever. We were going to hunker down and wait a few days to see what came next. The Force told me to stay put for the time being with the men. We were too far away from the capitol to be deployed there on short notice. If they wanted us to make it to the Imani, we would need some kind of transport.

“The women have decided to leave,” I heard two days later as we worked to clean-up our weapons after an hour of range practice. I didn’t want the guys to get rusty with their weapons, and if Terry didn’t continuously stalk the nearby forests he might have gotten bored enough to attempt to munch on a settler. The Force cleared us to do some target practice in the forest while we waited for our next deployment. Considering that there were still a few stalker elements out there, most of the targets moved and shot back.

It was Tara who brought the news to me. She had on that red dress again. I wondered if they ever let these Sisters wear anything else other than red. Over all the years I’d ran into them, never did I see a member of the Babylon Sisterhood wear anything else. You could see them walk down the street, a bright crimson sight that caught everyone’s attention. You saw a Sister of Babylon clothed in red or you saw them as nature intended. But only the latter if you’d made a significant donation to the temple and passed a physical. At least that’s what all the teenage boys used to tell each other back home.

The civilians came out of the mission first. There were about ten families inside it and I couldn’t understand why they hadn’t come out when we took the field. The Sisters, all twelve of them, emerged afterwards and formed a small line on each side of the families as they went to examine the remains of their huts and homes. I told the guys to keep their distance. Those women in red were armed with sonic pistols. I could see the lust in the eyes of my men, but they knew better than to mess with those women.

I stood in a clearing next to the encampment with Hamid later that evening when Tara appeared again. We were trying to figure out how the battle for the city had progressed from the reports we received from Orbital. It was in the Force’s interest to clamp down on the news, but we wanted to know since the regiment could be tossed into battle on short notice.
