Planet 10 - The Dipole Series sci fi adventure chapter one
PLANET 10 - The Dipole Series
"You can't
create a Army," said Bat.
"I can
because I have," the giant answered philosophically.
"You would
be surprised at what price patriotism can be bought."
Bat grunted. A
sound that could be taken either way.
No, he would not
be surprised, he wanted to tell the gang lord. He knew how important money was
to many people.
Hell, the two
people who shared a ship with him were more motivated by money than he was. He
had more in common with the AI, who considered credit a binary string of digits
she could manipulate at will. She didn't need it, because she could create it
on demand.
Bat didn't have
that ability, but he did have zero need for money.
Part of his
genetic makeup.
He didn't need
shelter. He could go weeks without food. And he had no shame at being naked.
The men who
created him in a lab inserted that much.
But others
weren't so lucky.
Or unlucky.
Bat reached up
and sipped the delicate bowl of tea.
"I wish you
to train them."
Bat had read
about Jinn back on earth, or genie's as they were commonly known. They would
grant the wishes of the people who freed them from a vase or lamp.
Unlimited power.
Tiny living space.
They would answer
the request with a simple statement.
"Your wish
is my command."
He couldn't say
it. Couldn't force the words past his tongue.
Because agreeing
to the wish would put him in the debt of the Gang Lord.
He knew that just
as he knew the almond cookies were laces with a mild relaxation drug, and the
three guards on the left side of the room were lazy. He could tell by the way
they stood.
Training the
Space Operations Group for Mr. Kim would come at a price.
Bat wasn't sure
if he was prepared to pay it.
"Yes,"
said Mona Lisa beside him.
Bat glanced over
at her, but she couldn't read the look on his face.
"We'll train
them."
She nodded at Bat
as if to convince him.
"I didn't
say yes."
"Mr.
Kim," she said the gang lord's name, but her comments were directed at
Bat. "We don't serve at your pleasure. Over the past several months, we
consider this an evolved partnership. As partners, we would be happy to help
you."
Mr. Kim watched
the exchange and clapped his hubcap sized hands together with a grin.
"Excellent,"
he called out.
Four women
flittered out from the billowing silk tapestries and began clearing the
table. Two more came to Mr. Kim and held
his arm as they led him back to the divan.
"The
contract has been sent to your AI," said the giant. "She has signed
on your behalf and the money is in your account. Your training space has been
designated and placed in orbit over Mars. You will find the men selected there
upon your arrival."
The women moved
behind each of their chairs and grabbed the backs.
They didn't so
much as pull them out from under the guests, but the intent was there. As soon
as the trio stood, the chairs were whisked away.
"Guess this
meeting is over," Tinker whispered.
"It is too
bad you cannot stay longer," said Mr. Kim.
The two women
that escorted him from the table shifted out of their robes and opened his.
They both knelt on top of the gang lord, and Mona Lisa was glad all she could see where
their bare backs.
"We don't
mind watching," Tinker stared in fascination.
Bat grabbed him
by the elbow and yanked him to follow.
"Hey man,
watch it," the pilot whined. "It would be rude to just leave without
saying good bye."
"Say good
bye," Bat growled.
"I don't
want to interrupt."
"Come
on," Mona Lisa grabbed his other elbow. "We can discuss it back at
the ship."
"I can't
wait to talk about what we saw," Tinker leered as he fell in step with
them.
The door to the
most powerful man in the galaxy's cargo hold slid shut behind them.
"Maybe we
can act it out?" Tinker asked.
Mona Lisa slugged
him in the arm, and after some moaning, they finished the walk back to the
NS-17 in silence.
