Resupply

"Eva, I can bring you back to your earth, you will be safer there than here", john says to Eva with a worried look.

"no, I want to stay with you, I made my choice, I will be with you everywhere you go", she replies while taking johns hand, "even to a terrible place like Viek prime", john says, " I meant for places especially like this one "m she responds and kisses john, "you said your words, victor set course for Eris, resupply, and plan a route to Viek prime.", john commands Victor and the ship changes its direction and sets course to Eris.

'The Alpha' lands in its Eris hanger and as the ship is resupplied, john and Eva sit in the command room discussing about the plan to retrieve the data from the Veik prime servers, "why don't send the army or a robot scout to Viek prime?", Eva suggests, "I can't send people for a mission like this, also I want it to be discrete, I don't want people discussing about this operation, about the robots they can malfunction or worse get taken over by the Grey, that while I feel that I am the best one suited for a mission like that.", john replies, "so, what is your full plan?", Eva asks worried knowing it is going to be a risky plan, "we fly to Viek prime, I will go down using a clocked scout, take the data I need, and we get out of there before they notice I was there", john replies with a smile, "and what happens if they catch you?", worried Eva asks, "I think you know I am full of surprises, so I just give them one", john replies with a small smile, "I want to go down with you", Eva says, "no, it is very risky operation, I want you to be safe in 'the alpha', I know the grey and I think they fear me a bit, so you joining me down there is big no, especially that they know that you are important to me", john replies with worry in his voice, as Eva looks at him, she thinks it is the first time she sees him worried, it really isn't a regular scenario for him.

"Eva don't worry, I have been in worse situations", john says trying to calm her down, "if you don't find those files, what you do next?", Eva asks, "pray, because the war I want to prevent will be the most bloody in the history of the milky way, I won't see any other option than destroying as much lomonian and grey planets, and if we not be able to prevent such kind of attacks on federation or Orenian planets, this option is certain holocaust for one side or in the worst case both", john answers, making Eva even more worried, "what in this file exactly?", she asks, "the protocol and the plan of the attack on the Lomonian planet, I plan to send it to the Lomonian, they will prefer to shout up, then admit that the grey played with them", john replies and calls Zilk, and tells him his plan "you are crazy, even for you it is suicide mission and for what saving the two most grotesque civilizations in the galaxy", Zilk says to john, "Zilk I don't do that for them, I am doing it for us, I know we can survive such a war, but think about the price, one planetary bomb that we wouldn't can take before it hits a planet will be devastating, now answer me do the prime council also prepares for attack and do they think I did that attack on the lomonian planet", john replies, hopping that they trust him enough to know he didn't attack the Lomonian ,"of course, we are preparing, and also we know you didn't do it, we saw that you didn't have any movements outside your territory and also that kind of scout is not suitable for FTL and we both know that you have auto-destruction in case of any malfunction", Zilk replies, "Zilk, I want to thank you because of people like you I see hope for all the civilizations in the galaxy.", john says to Zilk, "that why I like him, he knows to be honest with others", Eva thinks as she hears the conversation.

"john don't tell me things like this through calls, if you want when we meet you tell me about how awesome I am in person with Orenian booze involved", Zilk replies with a smile showing john a buttle of Orenian booze, "ok, I promise when it all ends, me and you at my office, drinking the best kind of Orenian booze you can find.", john replies, "it is a deal, may the stars be with you john, I am happy to call you my friend, you are one of the most special people in the galaxy", Zilk tells john, Eva notices the worry in Zilk's Voice, "save this speech for our meeting", john says and closes the channel, "sir all the necessary supplies are on the ship", victor tells to john, "great, set course to Veik prime", john commands in response and 'The Alpha' take off its hanger and sets course towards Veik Prime 2600 light years from the sol system, Eva looks at john, "we have a long flight ahead of us, so what you say about relacing in the spa?", john suggests ," I think it is a great idea", Eva replies, "after the Events of the last days spa will only help us", Eva thinks as she holds johns hands and they both head to the spa.
