Some of you mothers ought to lock up your daughter

-Great, ride like in old times.
-There is road on south, going on mountain pass with good viewpoint on town.
They drove through picturesque landscapes, forests, great meadows by side of the road. Like in heaven. Spring come earlier as usual on this planet. Meadow is colorful, flowers were flourished. Insects and birds were revived again. The surroundings are full of sounds of untouched nature, except electric buzzing, wheel rolling sound, which make two motorcycles. There is some music from one. Motorcycles moving away, and landscape remains as not touched, as nothing did not disturb that harmony.
-Liam are you copy?
-Affirmative.

-I sending you:
˝You take a mortal man
And put him in control
Watch him become a god
Watch people's heads a-roll
A-roll
Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the Symphony of Destruction
Acting like a robot
Its metal brain corrodes
You try to take its pulse
Before the head explodes
Explodes...
Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the Symphony of Destruction...˝
-Sir you have a call, will you answer, this is Aaiki.
-Yes.

-Never been.
-Kidding me.
-No, never.
-Man, you are No. 1. How?
-I told you, I'll explain.

***************
-Gorgeous view. Certainly you come with some maids sometimes, on this romantic place?
-Man you start with shits again.
-I'm really glad you found me.
-Me to, man.
-When I set in wrong train, I figure after half hour that train is wrong, I was frightened a little bit, first time in my life to feel fear.
-Know man, me to, I went after you, but set wrong ship, and finished trip on this planet.
-Have you cigars?
-I have some.
-Give me one.
-Here. But, this is pity you're doing, you aren´t smoke half day. You can leave cigars...
-Fuck off. You kidding me whole day. First you, than Aaiki, then Larisa, whole day you are sitting me on my head.
-Man, you are loved here, just like at home.
-Don't´know, just my neighbors, Larisa, Aaiki, maybe Old Is Larisa´s father, or someone loves me, others are asholes, just like at home.
-A lot of assholes in this system.
-Sir, you have a call.
-Yes.
-Liam, whats up my man, I have not see you, I don't know maybe whole week, sorry I disturb, tomorrow we organized whole day party in your garden, if you wanna come we'll be glad, and come with your friends. Bye.
-Tomorrow we'll get drunk, and eat something normal, like at home, neighbours have a party.
-Where?
-Next house to us, they have great garden surrounded with other houses, so nobody knows on street there is party, there will be whole neighborhood. Maybe there will be some chicks for you. Maybe you'll not get smashed.
-Are you remember five years ago, new years day?
-How to forget, you was drunk as a fiddler, , hell you was fell in that deep ditch, and nobody can´t found you, if you did not start singing I don´t know, you would been freezes to death. Thats funny for you, but I´m not laughing.
-Look, dark is already here, lights starting on, gorgeous, this is beautiful, is his town only one on this planet?
-This is not town, this is settlement, whole planet is like one town, there is smaller settlements on other side of planet, and a lot villages course, there is and five settlements on different sea sides.
-Strange.
-In this system every planet is one big town or city, whatever you want, those settlements are separated on three administrative divisions, centers, subdivisions, and country region. In centers are main components of town and apartments for CRMs and rich ones, but in subdivisions are houses for workers. That separation is only on those planet's where industrial or agricultural zone is, main planet and Richie asshole rich planets are have not separate. Planet with seas have od fourth region like this planet, Sea side region and there are poor, fisherman, or rich people on other powerful planets.
-How do you know that, I know how stuffs going only for flea market planet.
-I read a lot, and make a fool of myself, so guys expland me things I never heard before.
-Smart man.
-Let's go, It's already late,I must sleep a little bit, I´m pretty tired.
***********
-Party! Wake up, come on man get up on legs!
-Man, you were terrible snoring whole night, I heard you in other room.
-I was tired, come on man get up. Party going on.
-Party, so early, wow, I'm gonna die.
Big garden, it could be said ten big gardens without barriers or fences, flat ground behind houses, very protected so anyone can`t see whats going on here.
Private parties without permission are forbidden in this society, but law enforcements will not come if someone report, but this neighbourhood is inhabited by friends. They all help each other, they work in companies together, they are tied to each other. Days when parties going on, local bar does not work. There is whole neighborhood on party, sure owner of the bar. He come with a lot of drink, and bring his music device.
There is a lot big food boilers in corners, from which it is smoked. People was bringed grills, five grills. Everywhere food scents spread.
Back doors of houses and rooms behind back doors are used like warehouse.
Liam was wake up early, and went with his pick up truck to shop, he bringed 500 kg of beer, and 100 kd meat. Nothing must not be missing, course party going on two days, until sunday evening.
-Looks like whole town come here.
-Those subdivisions are big.
-My cousin at home emigrated to The Big Lord State, country on big continent, and they have same partition of housings, but folks there in subdivisions don´t make parties like this even they have good salarys.
-Those people are friendly each other, I can't figure how, maybe couse they are same, workers, only thing they have on mind is that this life is short, and they have time for work, and time for family and friens, and that is all. At home in Big Lord State people killing each other, if they are in same shit, and they have politicof big fear. Propaganda have duty to people live in xenophobia against other different people, but counter effect is to men have fear from the own neighbour, also there is much more mentally ill people. People there have almost the same amount of income, but some of them want to work full time job, some of them think that criminal jobs is way to get rich. Those people are satisfied each other, they have not feeling of envy. Envy is only between CRMs and them, CRMs make prohibition on this kind of parties because they are jealous of those people.
-Our people going to B. L`State in hope they find better life.
-Sure, in our country jobs are less and lesser, some folks have not salary for years, don´t know how they live. In B. L´State everything is fine, our folks are very worthy and for short time get evrything they can dream on in our country.
-Oh my, they get montage stage here, and there are instruments, is this what I think...
Bar owner make wild jumped on the stage, in own style, he just love to make beginning introduction mood, as if he was born to make announcements of big shows with rock stars:
-What's up folks! What´s silence? You are not drunk enough? Come on today is everything free, I don't want talk anymore, this party will last two days, until tomorrow evening, sooooo let this party started!!! Let it musik play!!!
˝You'll take my life but I'll take yours too
You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through
So when you're waiting for the next attack
You'd better stand, there's no turning back
The Bugle sounds and the charge begins
But on this battlefield no one wins
The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath
As I plunge on into certain death
The horse he sweats with fear, we break to run
The mighty roar of the Russian guns
And as we race towards the human wall
The screams of pain as my comrades fall
We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground
And the Russians fire another round
We get so near yet so far away
We won't live to fight another day...˝
-Everybody here me! Are you drunk enough? Nobody goes home until last bottle is full. Band playing next five hours until lunch!
Night coming and light show turns on, the situation is more warming up, when band get tired they turn on projector with music videos. Edges of garden and pool are marked with flambeaus. For everyone else this is magic night, night when must not think on tomorrow. Every year there is all the less opportunities for parties, this is second party in this year. Jobs become to heavy, work time is up on nine hours for day. Employers are dissatisfied on results of work, they throw over guilt on employees for bad results of own incompetence.
**********
Sunday afternoon, party slow down, band is tired, on device is so lazy music, a lot crashed people are lying down on grass, some not drunk enough are in pool. Liam and Nathan wakes up:
-Man I'm crashed again, worse than last week.
-Look at this place like ancient battlefield, who will cleaned up this mess?
-Don't´worry, they are organised very well, tomorrow in afternoon everything will be fine. This is free week for everyone, they can not go anywhere from this hood tomorrow, instead it's forbidden moving for every person who is not CRM No.1.
-I'm feel sick, I'm gonna puke.
-Let's go man in to the house to get some sleep. Nothing about your girls?
-Come on man, I'm crashed like you.
-Fucked, I put my hope in you.
-You were hoping for a hoax.
-Seems.
-Like my half head is missing.
-That's why you was smoked those shits. Something's wrong with those things they call smokes.
-What to do now?
-I got some analgesics from home, first take some meal, than I´ll give you medicament, then go to sleep till tomorrow night. Crapulous of this things is horrible.
-Old rule never go without stuffs.
-Surely, remember my leather cowboy bag on shoulder, in that bag is two big photo album, bottle of brandy, pistol and ammunition, medicaments and some reminiscences.
-Have you ever got headache here?
-Just once, reason like yours. Seems my headaches at home been frequently on the psycho base.
-Right, mine to.
-I'm more relaxed here.
-See, people love crazy parties here.
-They have a lot troubles, but when party going on they forgot on myself.
-Crazy.
-Just love them.
-Yeah.
-First time I bought house here I'm in love this place. Everybody come to say hello. New neighbour with expensive car like they never seen except in media, but no one never showed no envy. They helped me with furniture, erything I need.
-Suggestive properties of this smokes does not affect on us.
-I told you once, you need some changes on DNA for all of that.
-Understood that, but those two idiots at home I can´t figure.
-Those crets are born without brain, perhaps DNA guilt a bit, but they taking drugs for years, no doubt those shits work on them. Smokes does not work on some people here, I saw few times, they are euphoric but quite a good make distinguish what is right and what is wrong.
-See, they are not bunch of idiots.
-Sure.
-Let's go to sleep.
**********
Sun shining in monday morning, Liam driving his GT650, without any mood, because today is monday. He driving and listening song:
˝Six o'clock already
I was just in the middle of a dream
I was kissin' Valentino
By a crystal blue Italian stream
But I can't be late
Cause then I guess I just won't get paid
These are the days
When you wish your bed was already made
It's just another manic Monday
I wish it were Sunday (oh, oh)
Cause that's my fun day (oh, oh)
My I don't have to run day (oh)
It's just another manic Monday
Have to catch an early train
Got to be to work by nine
And if I had an airplane
I still couldn't make it on time
Cause it takes me so long
Just to figure out what I'm gonna wear
Blame it on the train
But the boss is already there...˝
-Fuck monday. Mooondaaay. Fuck mondaaaay!
On exit of suburb is Law Enforcement patrol. Cop put up hand held stop sign.

I hope so that will be better future for this place after your today agreements. I hope this planet will be better place for us, much more comfortable. The first word on this summit has Mr. President. Mr president please step on.
-Thank you. First at all I would take the opportunity to said thanks for everyone who vote for me again on last elections, and again show confidence in my office and my government. Ladies and gentlemens today we are here to decide on destiny of this planet. You know as you can see this is third grade planet. It´s on us to make of this planet popular place for us and our vacation for all year. There is much more things and troubles on way how to do, but I hope so that we will find best way for us. Whole idea for this place is from our First Chairman Gant. Everybody knows him like very studied. We realized a lot of his great ideas. His ideas are very profitable for our investors. I would not talk anymore, word have our Chairman Gant.
-Thank you President. Good day to all. I will try expland you our plan shortest possible way, here are our investors and contractors they also will help me in introductions our plan, as our President said we will make heaven of this place. This planet will be new place like no other in this universe. This place will be two times better than old one for we looking substitution today. This planet have good position between own son and moons, have two moons that is good for tide. Level yearly rains are suitable for flower gardens. On this place is a lot water, salt water, healing waters, clean drinking water in abundance. High mountains for winter sports. You will see I can drink water from fountain without fear. Now, I wanna introduce you with project. First of al,l this place, this old museum, who nead museum on such a place. We will move this not profitable museum. Don't be worry gentlemen. You said me Mr. Gain how much profit made this museum for this year?
-Not even one Pence.
-You heard ladies and gentlemans, not even one Pence, so we don't need such a places.
-Mr. Chairman, I work here, we are under reconstruction this year, we are updating our collection...
-Mr. Liam, sorry I must interrupt you, everyone will have opportunity for suggestions, even for veto, if they not like something from this plan, so please be patient. Mr. Chairman you have word.
-So, like I said we will move this museum, on this place will be big concert hall, we need for our Divas something like that, look as you can see on this pic this place will be gorgeous, with capacity of milion and half people. You now when Divas singing there is a lot of rush.
"What a fuck Divas is?"- Liam is thought-provoking.
-Second we will tear down whole town center. We need space for this concert hall, and also we will build large hotel, with three hundred floors, yes gentlemens you hear me well, this will be mega hotel. Old theatre, we don't need teatre, who cares for teatre, on place of old teatre will be big cassino, biggest in universe.
˝Those pics look like shit˝˝
-My respect to all of you, this introduction will not be long, this is just beginning, we have and other side of planet, but now we are concentrated on this our side. Here, this ugly subdivisions will be converted in resort center, there we will make pools and SPAs.
"My god, they will crush my house, and make public toilet on place of my house, fucked. But, what he think, what will with people done. Yeah, what he think where those people will lived."
-Look at this beautiful mountain, this is unused potential, but we know how to do, we need one big hotel here, termal spa and ski center with fifteen ski lifts, also we will build restaurant on top of mountain with gordious view. You can come only with sky ship here. Countryside, on west, well here we don't need villages like that. We think best way for this land is large sport center. Here on this hills we can make small houses for our servants. We need one million servants for this side of planet. Other side of planet is reserved for aqua parks, zoo, marinas, and other water sports. We will make extra luxury private apartments on that side. Every apartment will have own pool, sauna, and other luxury things as usual.
Everyone will get own elaborat with catalog and prices of apartments. Any questions?
-What was with old place, on some Planet you mentioned?
-Mr. Koji, sorry, now is not moment to talk about old places.
-I´m one of the investors, and I want to know what was with old place?
-Ok,Ok! I will answer. There is some climate changes.
-What climate changes?
-If you want to know that place is wild, everything start with unstoppable rainfalls, then rapids make chaos, storms, 10 000 our servants died there. Today deadly storms are usual there.
-How did that happened?
-Today is not day to talk about climate of far planets, today we are talking about this planet.
-I wanna know, and this gentlemans want to know where our money goes, and what will happened in future.
-Look Mr. you are safe in investments here on this place, you have insurance.
-Insurance does not secure every stupid thing, so I heard what is happened with your last resort. Wanna I told you what happened there?
-Mr. please, this is not time...
-We want to know!
-Ok. It was little explosion, and that explosion made climate changes.
-Explosion, you said, and little, you are not mentioned excessively forest cutting, your workers cutted off 90% forest to make log cabins, those explosion, excuse me gentlemens, nuclear explosion of reactor which is your son´s guilt, was nothing then only whipped cream on cake.
-His son guilt?
-Yes, yes, his drugged homosexual son with his speed boat on lake crashed in full speed in nuclear power plant.
-How dare you? Today is not day to insult me and my son, this will be in record, and we will see you soon on court.
-But, ladies and gentlemen, I maked wrong statement, his son was not make a collision, he made terroristic assault, he jump out from boat few kilometers away, and he is live, unfortunately two workers in power plant are not, and who knows later, you know what is nuclear explosion and consequences, but his son never go to court, or never explained what was happened. I lost my investments there, insurance does not cover nuclear bombs, and wild climate.
-Mr. President?
-Dear Mr. Koji we will compensate your loss through this project and project of mines on that old planet. Please be patient...
-To compensate with me? You know how much I lost? Your compensation is just 5% of lost funds. Don't be ridiculous, I´m serious man, I´m out of this.
-Please, think one more time, this is great project.
-I'll think, but, do not mess with me. Mr. Chairman, his son, and I will be soon on court, and I will ask for compensation for all my investments, and responsibility for assault on power plant.
-Anyone other kind question, please just without victimisation?
Gentleman in black suit stand up on legs, very elegant man with cold face like poker player, with direction of eyes in Chairman:
-Gentleman. I have simple question. What will be with people on this planet?-Tone of his voice and his question make Chairman and moderator confuse.
˝Man, look like he read my minds, he take my question...˝
-Mr. President can you make answer.-Chairman is little bit scared.
-Well Gentlemen, as you can see theme of this summit is not social questions of population...
-I never asked you for social situation, I ask simple what will you done with this 15 or 20 billion people?- filled threat in the voice.
-Well ser, as you know we need manpower on mining planets, those planets are in some kinda deficit with workers.
-Deficit you said. Mr. Kanc you are director of mines on those planets, remember you are under oath of justice, everything you said here going to record, so I ask you now: How much workers you need on those planets?
-About five to six million.
-What was with old workers?
-Mr. Kanc you are not obligated to answer, this is not trial!-president is nervous now.
-Please, let him talk. I wanna know. I wanna know why will be public toilet on place of my house, why will toilet seat be on place of my bedroom, and first off all I wanna know what will be with my neighbours?
-Mr. Liam this is one thing you don't´ know. Your neighbors signed petition last year, and all bit number peoples of this planet. They want better place on place of his houses. We just need they to sign approval, and than your house will assume different shape with purpose.
-Mr. President, Mr Chairman don't beat about the bush with your answer, I want to know destiny of this people. I know they don´t want go to mines, and you will engage L.E. troops to forcing people, just like on other places.
-Miners need just five million men, here you need ten million servants, what will be with others?
-We are not obligated to answer your questions.
-I wanna know?
-Me too!
-And I!
-Answer to us!
Now, much more CRMs asking for aswer. President is flushed, sweat from his forehead fall down on papers on desk. Seems he is frightened now.
-Ladies and Gentlemans as you know every big project need sacrifices. Our system is made in richness, for rich people better life, we don´t care about low class of people.Plan for people is at first evacuate CRMs on better planets, we will gives them bigger houses, we will evacuated people with good incomes, and other lower class take to mines, there is new mine on old planet, and... Gentlemans, regardless they will sign approval there will be one group people which don´t wont to go from this planet, so Law Enforcments and Army will use force... That is normally reaction of...
-You will kill those folks!
-I never said that, we anticipate on disturbance...
-Send men on mining planets itself is death row for them, we all know those planets are with radioactive environment, and here L.E.s and army will killed unarmed people. You are monstrums!
-We do not care for lowers, gentlemns as you know bedrock of our society is high classes. What will be, will be, we don´t care. Every discussion will stop now! I´ll ask moderator of this summit to continue with program.
-Mr. I have question. What with food factory, this planet have large increase in food production for years.
-We will open other food factory on some other planet. Food producing is represented on sixti planets, and this one is unnecessary.
-Ladies and gentlemans, if we have not questions we will start with votings. Question is who is for and who is against building on this planet. On your monitors you can push the answer, you have five minutes.
In amphitheater was grave silence, hard decisions for every reasonable man.
-Time is up! Let see. 85% for, 15% against. This is devastating. President please...
-Gentleman's, let it us be serious, can you think one more minute, this thing is crucial, it is important to us to be unanimously...
-We don't want be part of genocide engine!
-We don't want invest in uncertain projects!
-Gentlemans, listen, this 15% against is nothing if we have unanimously consent of citizens this planet which they will sign tomorrow. Investors are free, if they won't invest we will found new investors, those gentlemans they think acting some poor people ideologies in future will feel shame when they come here on vacation. This planet will be construction site, they wanted it or not. We are clear. Day after tomorrow we will sit here to make final agreement.
-What with democracy?
-Sorry Mr. you are just in 15% that is minor thing when we got sign papers. Moderator, please.
-I'm signing out this stage of summit, next stage is day after tomorrow with start in same time. Goodbye ladies and gentlements.
˝˝Fuck this crowd, I must ran out...˝

-That was my GT650, unlocked mode.
-Look like your friend don't like fast drive.

-You said you are in hurry, let's go on the cliff.
-Liam you`ll stay here or something...
-No thanks man, I must go back, very fast, if someone come here with petition for changing this planet in something else, don't sign anything, or if you must, sign against.Now I must run. See ya.
-Good bye friend.
Liam maked big cloud of burnt rubber from his pneumatics, already very get hot in wild drive on motorway.
-Gt play random playlist:
˝The clock strikes twelve and moondrops burst
Out at you from their hiding place
Like acid and oil on a madman's face
His reason tends to fly away
Like lesser birds on the four winds
Like silver scrapes in May
Now the sands become a crust
And most of you have gone away
Come Susy dear, let's take a walk
Just out there upon the beach
I know you'll soon be married
And you want to know where the winds come from
Well it's never said at all
On the map that Carrie reads
Behind the clock back there you know
At the four winds bar
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Four winds at the four winds bar
Two doors locked and windows barred
One door let to take you in
The other one just mirrors it
Hey, hey, hey, hey
In hellish glare and inference
The other one's a duplicate
The queenly flux, eternal light
Or the light that never warms [repeat twice]
The clock strikes twelve and moondrops burst
Out at you from their hiding place
Miss Carrie nurse and Suzy dear
Would find themselves at the four winds bar
It's the nexus of the crisis
The origin of storms
Just the place to hopelessly
Encounter time and then came me
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Call me Desdenova, eternal light
These gravely digs of mine
Will surely prove a sight
And don't forget my dog, fixed and consequent
Astronomy...a star...˝
At high speed, he approached to bar, hardly with squeaking of burned tyres stopped car in front of bar. Rapidly run out from car, without door shuts, get in bar. Inside was very crowded and loud. Someone celebrate birthday. Drunk people hardly standing on their legs. Liam is pushing through crowd, hardly get to the bar. He found Reamon the owner:
-Thank heavens you are sober.
-Whats up pal? Take some drink, make yourself comfortable.
-I have not time, I'm tired, makes about 2000 km for 4 hours. When you open tomorrow?
-11:00 AM
-Do you know, did come once here some asshole in this quart with some anket about better living ?
-I remember. He came here take drink and started with some silly talks about buildings, nobody listened him, some guys was rude, and shout that he is liar, and make other people be hesitate. Then he come here with full truck of battles drinks and bring smokes, and gave to folks for free, after everyone was crashed, he stranded on stage, took mikrofon and start some talk about place of better living. He showed pics on projector how this place should look like for few years, and after everyone sing some papers. Folks were different like hypnotized after those drinks and smokes.
-Are you remembered his face?
-Sure.
-Listen to me. I'm going to find some regular drinks and smokes. He will come here tomorrow again, I'm sure because this is only place you can find whole neighborhood, we will substitute his rubish with mine.
-What's happening.
-Man. This folks are signed own death row.
-Oh...Fuck.
-Yeah, fucked. Those suckers will crushed whole our nighborhood, and folks some going to mines on some fucked up planets, and other will be killed. Law Enforcements will make squads for dirty jobs.
-Fuuuck...
-Can't believe what those fuckers can done. Call everyone you know in other squares and tell to not sign papers, or if they must sign to sign against building. Have you seen Nathan?
-I think he is at your house, sleeping when I called him.
-I must find him. See ya.
People which are stand in front of bar are made circle around Liam's GT 650.
-Please may I take my car?
-Sure, sure, oh that's you Liam. Let's go to drink inside.
-Thanks. I'm in rush. Tomorrow we will drink, here are some money, take drinks for all of you, drink for me. Cheers.
-GT call me Aaiki. Listen to me. Is there any private owner of spaceship here, that it is reliable person. We must go to Sarhan.
-Wait minute, I will call Old Is, think his friend own one. You need real man for this, sky and space above planet are blocked.
-Come on, we have not much...
-Great. I sending you location on North Side, that will be long trip, but he is our last chance.
˝Is Nathe waked up. Fuck, I feel tired, I never in my life made this distance with car in like this short time. Fucked monday, bad luck, I hate monday, every shit in my life was in monday..."
-Nathan! You woke up?
-Yeah.
-You look like shit.
-I feel worse than shit.
-Look like you are dehydrated, come on, we have not time drink some water and go to dress, we must go to Sarhan to take your goods. We have to bribe some shitheads, and make little fuss here, or fuckers come here and make genocide.
-I saw once that kinda scenario. Let's go man!
Winding mountain road goes to North Side, place of big ranches. Danger road with a lot curves which a lot people avoid if must no to drive there. People from North Side love own peace so they decided to live on such place with connection of kilometers dangerous road with other parts of town. Evening is already come, silence, free road.Surprisingly, something breaking silence. Horrible screeching of tyres through curves.
-Liam you are too rude on this curves.
-Don't worry, I have good grip. Those tyres are fantastic.
-Hope so they will endure this torture to destination.
-If don´t endure we will see how deep this cliffs are. Fuck, how we drive goods to town.
-I have truck on Sarhan, big five ton truck. Hope so that truck can into space ship.
-Hope so.
**********
-Good evening sir, we are...
-Good evening, I´m Old Blajz, I suppose you are Liam, and he is Nathan, and we have not time, Old Is called me and told whats happening.
-Can big truck get inside your ship?
-You will see this is big ship, you can parked three trucks if you like. When you living on such place you need big harvester, big tractor, big truck and course big space ship. Come on gentleman's let's go in.
-Think so nobody notices your flight?
-I never going in direct flight, always flying among field and mountains, then going straight in space. My professional deformation, never use short cut, I was army pilot. There is a lot Law Enforcement´s spaceships around this planet, provide nobody come or left this planet in this week, average pilot have not chance against them, thats why Old Is called me, my honor is to help you. Think I'm not over yet for old rubbish.
-Think you´re not, this is big ship, I think is hard to make maneuver between those mountains.
-You can't believe how is easy for flying, this was army´s ship, and controls are reinforcements.
Like in old time on army trainings and maneuvers Old Blajz goes straight among field, then go hard left on mountain, then right in ravin between two mountains, and straight in clouds to space with high speed. Flying at high speed, they arrived on Sarhan for half hour. Nobody said one word during wild flight. Nathat filed sick in stomack.
-I´m gonna puke.
-Wait, be patient, we have to go back.
-Come on don't kidding me that was giddily flight.
-Guys, we have to hard tie up cargo on truck, and tie up truck inside ship. This was easy, but when we get come back we should flight on planet´s west, then go east above sea, and then above mountains on northern east, then north. It's harder fool the trail when you going back to planet.
-Rough flight tactic.
-I have to find chip with video. I recorded two years ago here when Law Enforcements shooted on people. They are crushed their homes and make shopping center there, people which did not want to go are died unarmed. There is.
-Lets go, load the truck.
Return flight was rudely, just as Old Blajz said. They did not lost much time on the Sarhan, just half hour on loading, and fifteen minutes to tied up cargo.
-Ready to go!
-Gentlemans, tighten the seat belts firmly, we got wild ride.
-Hell man...
They traveling slowly from North Side to Town. Nobody can drive heavy loaded truck fast through mountain road curves. Nathan driving first, Liam is behind him just in case cops are on road.
-We are safe now.
-Great, home, I'm tired and hungry. I'm nothing eaten whole day.
-Tomorrow morning we must went to bar, we´ll take some goods, idiot should come to bar.
-Think so.
-Only one place where he can find those folks when they are not on work.
-Sure man. Lets go to sleep. This flight is to much for me and my drowsy.
**********
-Hey Reamon, we´re on way to you, did that douchebag arrived?
-Yes, he brings to me some drinks and smokes again to share people for free. He is not alone. There are three idiots, I think they are cops.
-Nathe, you heard this, have you got your gun?
-Sure, I'm going nowhere without pistol.
-Give me mine, open that bag.
-You took it?
-I doubted myself. I just had bad feeling.
-Seems there will be big rush.
-Great, we have and company. Listen we will come on back door from dead end, substitute their drinks and smokes with ours, then we will went on regular entrance and be natural. You will show us those idiots. We will sit one time while fuckers finish their story, then I show you sign with finger like this, and you activate automatic shutter for door.
-Have you seen Colin?
-If you think on computer guy, let me see, he is here.
-Yes Colin computer expert, great. I´m on way.
Atmosphere in bar is normal, except for mens which does not fit in environment with clothes and strange behavior not at all pleasant for environment full of friends. Everyone can see that they are intruders.
-Look those are, three, and one is here close the door.-Reamon shows to Liam and Nathan on screen this intruders in bar.
-See, Nath, you will stand behind this douchebag near the door, I´m going to talk with Colin, give me chip. Reamon have you got remote controler for projector?
-Here.
-Thanks. Now, we are going to bar, later when they start shiting I´ll improvvised something. Give to people our drinks, and our smokes we brought now. Spill out sucker´s shit, and leave just two botles and four smokes.
-Hey Colin, whats up, you made great thing to my car. Look this, we must be quiet. Here are some fuckers, they want to do this, look at this video record.
-Listen, can you show this film on projector, here is remote controller, press play on my sign.
-Man, this is masacre.
-Yeah, Nathan recorded that on Srahan in some quart. If I fail, we have same destiny.
-Look this idiot going to stage.

Your neighborhood is candidate to be best part of world, so people you can drink now, for a while I will take youur signature on this electronic device. Now, you can drink a lot, and please take those free smokes. Cheers.
People taking drinks and smokes like this is last in life. Big crowd in bar have good time. Liam and Nathan watching on every steps of strangers. Nothing can be missed, there is no time. Song playing:
˝All our times have come

-And you can provide better future for those...
-I can provide for them to be alive and healthy...

People which refuse to go will be killed, regardless they are adult or children. Colin please press play!-Reamon get sign to shut the door.
On big screen shows horrible scenes, screams, people running while Law Enforcements shooting with blasters in their back. They burning houses. They had not mercy for children. People in bar watching without any word, everybody is in shock, someone taking glass of water.
-Folks! Kill this man!-stranger yelling in microphone, but nobody listen to him.
Liam takes his pistol and put bullet in chamber, then pointed gun in stranger´s head.
-Listen to me cunt, I can blow your head here and have not feel of guilty...
-Officers please!
One officer tried to take blaster, but liam shoot him in leg. Horrible bang, like those people never heard, and co fall down on floor with screams. Nathan pointed gun in nearest cop's head, and people start hitting other cop.
-Ok folks, that is enough. Drop your blasters and taisers!

8 65My Life As A Superhero Slash Supervillain
James Jude Jamison is experiencing something a bit odd. He was sitting quietly at his computer desk, playing some kind of RPG, he couldn't which one, although the fate of the universe rests on him remembering which (Oh well, it had to end sometime). So, anyway, suddenly, out of nowhere, he got a bit of a headachne, his nose started to bleed, he then proceeded to make a mess in the family room at the computer room. His mom shouted at him, then he died. Then he woke up. He was reborn. Only he had a UI screen suddenly at the edge of his vision. What the hell. He was meant to have some cool powers, like lazers that shot out of his nipples, maybe some mad dancing skills. He would finally be able to speak to girls without laughing in their faces. Sigh. So this is his story, of how he couldn't decide which career prospect appealed to him more. So he decides to give both being a hero and a villain a go. What could go wrong? *** Edit: 2017.06.18 - 03:08 am EST - JJ seems to have buggered off somewhere without telling me where he went. So I am going to have to piece together this story back from the start with the fragments that he gave me. I will leave the original chapters up, but I will be renaming them so they are obvious if new readers don't want to read them. I am currently trying to write chapter one anew. It will feature new reasons of why JJ starts with the villainous lifestyle first, and the reasons of why he is granted the power he was given. If JJ does come back, I will inform you thusly. Then it will be decision of writing from where he left off or telling him to go choke on his own c**k. If I do decide to take the story up, then it will be a decision of to split the stories in two, and if to keep my version alive and concurrent. Thanks.
