Imhotep and Otmar

Planet UGF-P02

Many changes had taken place in the last six months within the Headquarters of the United Galactic Front.

The strength and capabilities of the Supreme Commander got questioned many times. The back-to-back assassination attempts on a King by a group, placed at the top of UGF's wanted list, was one reason.

The other being his periodic absence from the HQ, for weeks.

It didn't matter if both the assassinations failed, or that his strength had enhanced with every absence. Those who had a vendetta against UGF added falseness among truths masterly.

Imhotep looked at the marching troops through the windowpanes in his office. He had a cup of red wine in his hands and a cigar in the other. And the color on his face kept turning from the red of anger to the yellow of fear.

Knock! Knock!

"Come in."

The heavy doors to his office opened a man in the uniform of General of 1st Quad walked in.
