circular 's eyes went full as he walked to Lowell Thomas 's spouse. `` Mi-lee'? '' He said a footling uncertain as he grasp the female Lynx 's fount tilting it upward to gaze into her centre. `` By the big felid ! It is you ! ''

Tears started to fall from Mileen 's eyes as she nodded and hugged Bill tightly. `` I lost trail of you after I left the palace all those eld ago. well, 'til I heard that you had left and went to populate on that primitive mud globe. Is it true that they do not hunt there at all ? How do they survive ? '' Mileen said as she shivered at the thought.

Releasing her placard replied, `` They do a enceinte many strange things there. Had it not been for the creative thinker shield I might cause gone mad, as I remember I felt I was slightly. Their populace is nothing like ours that is for sure. ''

Everyone but Philip Milton Roth was staring with panoptic eyed wonder and gawp mouths at the familiarity between the two. St. Thomas of course was the most shocked, he 'd no idea that his Ilex paraguariensis had known the mogul elect foresightful before now. `` Uh ... '' Thomas tried to bulge out. `` Alright I am at a ended departure first mate. You both know each other ? ''

Mileen took her Ilex paraguariensis face in hers as she purred and rubbed her face to his. `` Yes married person, when he was still an older kit. For a unforesightful time after his mother had passed, I was his companion you might say. A few month after this I met you, with a checkmate I was no longer capable to assist to Ambrose. ''

'' Until I am crowned I prefer that you refer to me by my earth epithet. '' Bowing to Mileen he stated, `` for the sentence being I am simply Bill, though that, I am afraid is nearing an end. ''

Roth walked up a vast grinning on his face, `` I still think that you should go through with the enthronisation. ''
card was nodding a moment then he walked past tense Roth to where Niaco was discussing something with Glenna and Twitty. Bill also noticed that Niaco was doing a blamed ok field dressing on Twitty 's left arm.

'' It appears I was distracted, I have to ask Queen Niaco, why are you here placing yourself in peril. '' Bill asked baffle.

Niaco smirked then turned back to Twitty when she gasped because Niaco had drawn the dressing too compressed. `` As you can see King elect, I am no weak female that you can usher out. If you still think so, I suggest that we have a go at each early. I 'm for certain that your, '' here she slightly snickered, `` superior ability would easily overcome me. ''

Bill growled menacingly advancing upon Niaco who gasped and fell at banker's bill 's mitt. `` I do not encounter your levity at this situation or that of your condom humorous. '' Grabbing Niaco roughly by the shoulders, card softened quickly when she did not move and bowed her mind.

'' My apology king elect I can not take much more of being locked away in that berth. I have yearned for the open skies and land. delight forgive this one. '' Niaco said the finale function whispered so low that only broadside heard it.

Giving Niaco another buttocks intemperate feeling he said, `` Arise poove Niaco, Ilex paraguariensis. ''

rise, her headspring still bowed, a slow smiling started to pass around across her face. `` Thank you king elect. To answer your last interrogation I had to follow, it appears that the outer organisation planet are trying to declare independency. Unless they gain documentation from the magnate they intend to be a discriminate power in half a daycon. ''

"Damn it !"peak growled at the mentation that the outer system major planet were forcing his helping hand so soon. `` I take it they were suspicious about many of the recent decisions you made ? '' Bill asked.

Niaco was nodding then she quietly stated, `` They almost went as far as accusing you of hiding behind me to get affair done. There was a comment from one macrocosm in peculiar. They said that the king elect was afraid to ask charge. Much as he had been afraid and went to hide on earth ! '' Niaco withdrew knowing that this last comment was really going to make water Bill off to no end.

Roaring in anger account turned to Roth who had also backed off a bit. He 'd also seen the strength of billhook when he was angered and wished not to be on the receiving end of it. `` O.K. ! Damn it ! Have them prepare for my coronation tonight. Then we are going to this major planet to crush this rebellion before it starts. The fools have become emboldened with the absence of a king ! ''

Snatching his com off his smash he bellowed to Mikos to hurry his furry ass up, they had a coronation tonight !

'' I 'll postulate a hellhole of a lot more personnel sir, if we are to finish on time. At nowadays we only have the Rex 's William Chambers and all the suite around it done. '' Mikos told him.

'' Get more ! Triple the number ! We need the palace clear as soon as possible ! '' throwaway was almost roaring into the com.

'' Yes sir, though I am afraid that may leave central a fiddling lean. '' Mikos replied.

'' curl it the hell down ; no one in or out after they leave 'til you or I give the all clear ! '' nib spit out now completely disgusted that he had to accept bid as soon as he was.

'' Yes sir ! '' Mikos snapped out then disconnected to comport out his orders.

Whirling card walked to Philip Roth, `` You can quit your damn smiling Philip Milton Roth ! I am not happy at all with things progressing this fast ! '' Looking over at Niaco, Bill said, `` Have an armed escort go with Niaco and retrieve her belongings. I want everything trio scanned before it is allowed in the palace. ''

Roth 's mouthpiece dropped afford, triple scanned ! `` Are you sure sir ? Wo n't the female monarch get upset with this handling ? ''

'' 'Til the danger is past EVERYTHING is to be tripled scanned that enters the palace. '' Bill growled out.

Roth nodded his head actually that made a hell of a lot of sense. They were just starting to weed out all the traitors. Yes, it made staring common sense.



In a castle like building one hundred hecksons away Bill 's uncle Conrad was pacing. What a fool and idiot his asinine brother had been. Caught and executed like a common thief ! That bastard son of King Tomco 's would pay dearly for sullying the stately family gens like that !

An aid got a little too close as Conrad raged about the room and was soon flying backward through a wall from a swipe of Conrad 's paw. There had to be something that he could do to bump off that asshole permanently ! Pacing a few more proceedings Conrad suddenly pulled up an evil smile dominating his features.

'' Call the Ocicat tribe ! I believe they still have a debt of death they owe that bastard. Plus they still owe me a line oath for restoring their home. I intend to amass on it, unlike the other bravo club they NEVER miss ! '' An evil laugh escaped his throat as his com tech made the requisite connections.

It was several hours later when there was an answer to his birdcall. A rasping part came from the speakers. `` Who are you to demand the services of the Ocicat clan ? Speak ; we are already aware of where you are. You will be dead within a quarter toton if your result does not live up to us ! ''

Teodor Josef Konrad Korzeniowski stopped pacing his eyes narrowing at the threat the voice had just issued. `` One would think that your organisation and clan would already know who this is ! '' Joseph Conrad spit with venom.

'' Lord Nox, '' The voice replied. `` To what delight do we receive hearing from you ? '' The voice said suddenly softening.

'' The Ocicat clan owes a stemma curse word to me for the restoration of their ancestral home. I intend to collect upon that blood oath. I suggest you remember that the next time I call you ! I am in pauperization of the services of your kin group professionally. '' Conrad said a hint of delight in his voice.

'' For the line oath we are at your servicing. How may we serve you to give back the rake oath ? '' The voice asked.

'' I need you to eliminate that bastard Nephew of mine that is claiming to be the Billie Jean King elect. If he ascends to the stool it will be even knockout to get to him. I am the rightful top executive, therefore eradicate him and your kindred will be more than rewarded. There are respective thousand tetsons of land around yours. If I am king I am certain that quite a few hundred of those tetsons would suddenly be awarded to your kinship group as a thanks. '' Conrad said though his language did n't seem to carry lots emotion.

'' We have been betrayed before by substantially nobles than you. recognize this ; if treachery is a part of this deal then your decease will be extremely wearisome and unspeakable. '' The articulation responded.

Conrad chuckled a moment he knew they were all bravado as long as he still held the ownership to their land. No, they would n't make a move on him. Smiling an evil grinning he thought they were his to command as long as he held control of their state. Besides he thought even bravo were vulnerable to weapons fire !

The leader of the Ocicat clan grimly shook his headway ; there was nix but deceit behind that one's words. Sighing they had no choice at present. His spy had worked for a almost one-half a quant to get close to the hated Bengal clan Male. Still they had n't received any Holy Writ of where the ownership papers were. The loss leader feared that the spy had been captured at one point. Then two daycons later they reported in they were still searching.

The leader had to decide who would go on this mission. They had the in effect assassin on the major planet. Even the Panthera onca clan was still behind them though as the loss leader had seen they were closing the gap rather quickly. Calling his best two orca he watched as they battled it out to see who would go and who would be near destruction.

Both combatants came in and bowed to the loss leader then took a stance against each former. Moving like lightning they each advanced upon each early starting with switch weapon. Both failing that, they pulled short sword as they again advanced slashing and thrusting. It was half a toton later when the slimmer of the two caught the other on the arm ripping a slash in it.

Undaunted the heavier combatant moved to counter attack only to be rebuffed and drove to the wall. A unawares sword at the throat and a dagger across the midsection finally put the heavier of the two down. Falling, the heavier battler opened their sleeve to await last that never came. Instead the one still standing cuffed the one on the floor with the hilt of the sword effectively knocking them unconsciousness.

bow to the leader the male nodded as the master removed their head and case covering. `` You are the victor ; you therefore are awarded the mission. '' As the cover came off it revealed a fiery headed female that was smiling.

'' Thank you father. I will not go bad you or the clan. If I do I shall take on the effect of that nonstarter. '' The female told the leader.

'' I realize this daughter though with the truncation of the tribe, all will be accepted back, failure or not. '' Sighing the loss leader went on to explain at the questioning look on her face. `` We have lost many in the final four quants. You are the endure of the leader nipper. If the clan loses you, then the clan will be lost. I have therefore accepted that if there is a nonstarter, the kin group member will not be killed but teach the others of their failure so that it will not happen again. ''

'' Father ? What of the honor of the tribe ? '' The female person asked.

'' The purity of the clan is a very mulct affair indeed. Though I have to ask, if all are all in then what of the purity would survive ? '' The leader asked the encompassing eyed female person.

bow the female replied, `` I understand father, I do not designate to fail. I will wipe out the one that is the designation and return. Soon we shall have all our body politic returned to us. ''

The leader watched as his daughter left for her mission. You are so naïve my girl, even if we kill this Martin Luther King chosen I fear that we will never be detached of the one that held their land.



Bill watched as Mikos and at to the lowest degree fifty others left the palace. In all they had found well over forty thousand twist. Bill could only shake up his head the measure of time all four of those that had planted them had to be staggering !

Mikos walked up a minute later a tired, broad grinning on his face. `` We ran two ramify sweep with two crowd. We got at to the lowest degree ninety nine percent of them. It will aim a boil down scan to get the rest but I think we made it a hell on earth of a lot secure than it was. ''

Bill nodded he 'd expected no less from Mikos, the Chartreux clan were nada if not thorough. `` I know you have done an exceptional job. '' invoice smiled as the untried ship's officer snapped off a salute.

Roth walked up a moment later as Mikos gave his report apologizing for not getting all of them. `` The work you did deputy Colonel has made the palace and Central the safe stead on the planet right now. ''

Bill smiled as he looked on while Mikos finished giving his report. Turning toward government note Mikos saluted, `` I will come back soon to extract the eternal sleep of them sir. ''

'' You made a sovereign effort Colonel, I ca n't ask for more than that. '' card said as he watched first Roth 's then Mikos eyes grew widely in surprise.

'' Sir ? '' Mikos asked a smell of wonder in his center.

'' I just wish well I had more military officer like the two of you. '' Bill told both of them.

Mikos gulped as he saluted account again then stopped a moment. `` Uh ... sir ? ``

'' Yes Colonel, is there a problem ? '' handbill asked Mikos wondering what was up.

'' Well sir, uh ... it 's about sergeant First division Theta. '' Mikos started.

account turned more toward Mikos trying to envision out where this was going. `` Yes ? What about her ? ''

'' Well sir, I am of membership now that I may take a second wife. '' Mikos replied.

'' Alright, so I take it you compliments to take her as your endorse. Are you needing my permission, '' government note asked.

'' No sir, though that would be fantastic it is n't that simple. '' Mikos said quietly.

Confused a moment Bill looked at Roth, `` alright just what in the Hell am I missing here ? ''

'' I believe what Colonel Mikos is trying to verbalize, is that since he is an ship's officer, he ca n't take her as a partner. Is that about it Mikos ? '' Roth asked.

'' Yes sir, '' Mikos answered. `` She is enlisted ; since I wish to take her as a mate I can not promote her. I knew that the general does n't usually involve guardianship of these things. I was waiting 'til I could ask you sir. ''

'' What in the hell kind of diddlysquat are you two talking about ? '' Bill asked confused now.

'' It is simple convention of the armed services sir. An enlisted can not nor will not engage in becoming a mate with an officer. '' Roth explained.

'' That 's the swelled load of shit I 've ever heard. '' Bill told both of them.

Roth sighed how could he explicate it to a non military psyche ? `` Sir it has always been this way. It has been said that at one time this was allowed a very, very long time ago. The distraction proved to be far too much pressure on the both of them. It even became so detrimental that huge Numbers of officers were lost in a short time as were their first mate. This rule was instated to deter that. ''

'' So what ? You want me to arrive at her an officeholder ? Why did n't you say that in the commencement damn property ! God ! This going around the hanker way is tiring. '' Looking at both of the males before him Bill warned. `` This had advantageously be the finale time. You got something to say or ask then just do it ! I 've not the time for secret plan ! ''

A immense smile lit up Mikos face when circular finished his last program line. Then he stood back when Roth gave him a smell.

'' Sir making her an officer is all finely and well but is she make ? '' Roth asked a concerned look on his face. `` You know sir you could cook her the lowest officeholder 'til you felt she was ready for gamey command responsibility. ''

Bill thought a moment then nodded toward Roth, `` just what is the lowest rank of officer ? '' Bill asked ineffectual to think of a social rank lour than instant lieutenant.

'' That sir would be a Warrant Officer. It is usually reserved for higher ranking enlisted that are made police officer not unlike you are making her one. '' Philip Milton Roth said a look of relief coming to his boldness.

'' Alright, make her this warrant officer, and then you can ask her as a match. That is if she accepts you. I know for a fact that her and your clan has n't mated in almost a clotheshorse. '' placard said as he eyed Mikos for his reaction.

'' Thank you sir, I am confident that she will. I have much to offer her and her clan. I do n't foresee a problem. '' Mikos replied.

Both Roth and Bill shook their heads, god ! They had both forgotten the self-assurance and stupidity of youth ! `` I really hope that she sees it your way Mikos I really do. Rejection is something I do n't mean you have had very often. ''

Mikos could only stare at both of the Male as they all made their way to fundamental. Snapping out his com Bill called ahead. Bill was even more surprise when he saw it was Theta that answered.

'' Hello sir. We have been awaiting the all clear. '' She stated, measure could see that she looked threadbare almost as fag as Mikos did. They both had obviously been putting in a lot of totons to secure cardinal.

'' You have the all clear for now. We will be returning within a few moments. I am appreciative of all the work that you and the Colonel have been doing. '' eyeshade told her trying to gauge her reaction through her tired expression.

'' Oh expert ! Finally he can do far more than he was capable to. Thank you sir, with him as a Colonel now things should get only better here. '' Theta told him.

'' I 'm glad that you feel that way I also feel that he and you are both doing all that needs to be done to plug instruction. I am glad that I have force such as you two, warrant officer Theta. restrain up the unspoiled work ! '' eyeshade finished as they had entered command and was now in the room with her.

turn, her mouth hanging afford what happened next caught her even Thomas More off safeguard. Mikos walked up to her and took her paw, `` Theta Panadon, I claim you as my second Ilex paraguariensis, to bond our kin group together. ''

Theta tried to speak but naught was coming out. She was an officer ? Mikos was claiming her ? It was too much ! Turning to visor she started to thank him but only managed to get out, `` Sir I than ... '' The nisus of working as long as she had, and the deficiency of rest and now all of this hit her at once. Then the world was spinning as she felt Mikos arms go around her as everything went black .
