Leaving Out

With confident strides miss Carpa aproached the console and with deft hands she inputed the password in the console.

"Input Aurotization Code"

***************************

after putting the code the screen went dark and after a few seconds the entire ship started coming to live; the emergency lights in the bridge went off and the entire illumination in the ship was on. they could also hear the inertial dampers and the star engine, sub engines, light engines, coming alive. Another image is being displayed with a completition bar, the image was something that none of the presents ever saw, but still can recognize the mapamundi of old earth with wings that protect the world and a sword that signifies that they are ready to fight, this logo was the logo of the Human Alliance in the Apex War; until this day no one has the guts to use it because that will breach something that the big three will never permit.

A very cruel thing happened when a first rate superpower decided to use the flag fo the Human Alliance only for their entire star sector being destroyed by the combination fleet of the entire HAF, MRI and Terrans. That was a very big punch and speach to everyone out there to never desecreate that flag. althought the big three hate each other to the bone they are very concious about their roots so no one in their right mind will croos that bar.

after a few moments the image disaperead and in its place a plataform in the center of the bridge was being lifted in there they saw the AI that controls the Ship.

"well well well. things that are important needs to be repeated three times, so who are you people?" AI

the tripulation was again surprised at the flipant image of the AI, in what looks as a very very very old wooden ship traversing the seas in an acuatic world, a tiny captain with a pirate hat, black coat, black boats, white shirt, and brown pants was riding the waves in a storm as if the presents weren't important.

Silence... absolute silence, the AI as if whatching a bunch of primates ask again

"who are you people? and what are you doing in my ship?" that seems to awake all the present, with an autorative voice miss Carpa order the AI to stop what its doing and prepare a jump to the nearest and safest location

"By the autorization code i order you AI to deliver the ship and its tripulants to the nearest and safest star sector" with a smug grin in her face miss Carpa is awaiting the response of the AI only to be smacked in the face by its reply and also scaring the shit out of her.

"Listen here little lass, daddy here is riding the waves in this vast ocean that is the universe and also the autorization code that you inputed was only for the purpouse to reestart the ship not for you to command me. you dont't have the clearence or credentials to order me the only one that can order me is behind you"

when the AI finished its words a wave of silence engulfed the bridge and by the time they registered its words a scream was heard. who knows when the figure of the general setted in his chair was behind miss Carpa, all the presents started to look at the imposing figure and the aura that was being radiated make everyone in the bridge frezze at the absurdity of the reality that was salpping their face again and again as if they were only buffons playing in the court.

Miss Carpa was scared because she never registered when she was aproached, her senses were enhanced to the limit in her early days in the mech industry, she survived every kind of assassination attempt that was directet at her and all her adventures in the galactic rim fighting agains every one that was her enemy make her very suceptible agains threats but now even with all that experience under her belt she never saw that coming.

As if repeting what the AI said the voice of the general was heard for the first time in a thousand years.

"Who are you people? and what are you doing in my Ship?" this time everyone was flatted by the will that is being displayed from the General, the mech pilots and military personel was being heavily influenced by that will, they subconsiously lower their heads at that display, the civilian personel was cowering in fright as if an apex predator was eyeing them.

with all her guts and trying to withstand the display of power show by this person, miss Carpa achieved to stand in her two feet and with determination in her face she spoke to the living mummy in front of her.

"we--we--we are members of the Wind Queen, an expedition and sientist ship under the protection of the Ilyad Dinasty. we came to this place in hopes to discover exotics for our research. I'm the commander of the ship before mentioned, My name is Rose Mary Carpa, Sixty Years Old and a Distinguished Mech Dersigner under the Autority of the Mech Research Institute... Sir" at first she stuttered but by the end her voice was firmer.

A moment of silence was issued after the explication. with a shhh the helmet in the general face was retracted showing the face of a middle aged person maybe in his latest thirties or maybe fourthies with confusion writted in all his face, the general directs his glare at the console in wich jack is still moving the old ship against the storm and saying who knows.

"Jack stop playing and explain" Ordered the General

"well let me play a bit, i was sleeping for a lot of time but what ever... your darkening expresion is telling me that if i don't respon you fast you will go to the vault to make something that i will not like so.... Hacking the ship that is parked in our hangar bay, this will sound ridiculous but we were sleep for a thousand years Karl, we won the war but after that the Alliance was divided and later a lot of upstar apperad as mushroms in the rain, according to their data their state is a second rate state, not much better that a colony in the outskirts in a dessert island, so they are pretty much a bunch of country bumpkins."

as if displaying his rank the general only nod in confirmation of what happened. for much absurd that reality was it is the reality and no matter how much you denied you can't change that. with a sigh the general issued new orders

"Autorization code Zulu-Alpa-Tango-Delta-Xray-Zero-Zero-three-Zulu and affiliation number 731.867.361.299_AXE, show status report"

"Showing Status.

"you have the data of the star map?" commented the general "yes... it was fun stripping the AI of the Wind Queen, it was like a naked damsel against me Muahahahaha" Jack

"Stop your charade don´t compare a Battle AI to a Civilian AI, by the way it seems that your existance is no more a taboo" General Karl

"Yeah the prohibition in the galaxy of AI was voided nine hundred years ago but it seems that only a few powers have access to AI's , by the way our prissioners are being fidgetty since you resurrected." Jack

Looking to the people in the bridge with a cursory glance, he told jack his new set of orders.

"Lock and scan their ship also activated the cuartes in the 6th level they will be living there until we reach a better place to live." the general mentioned those words and locking to the bigger monsters in the star view plataform and as if mocking them he ordered Jack

"Activate Star engine reach the closest start system with a blue giant we need to resupply our fuel" Jack

"Aye Aye General ladies and gentleman please take a sit, and put your seabelts tight, this ride will be a fun ride" as if hearing a pardon all personel took a seat and straped their life in the chair. when the General Passed miss Rose he stopped and as if it was a mandate from the heavens he only said

"After this we will have a very long talk".

"Leaving out General, starting star window one hundred percent, initiating manouevers, star window and the ship are aligned, the black hole and the neutron star are starting the final phase of their war so lets get the hell out of here. Norweina Pirate lift off!"
