《Aliens! Tech! War! OH YES!!》 Prologue : Is this Real? Have you ever been in a situation asking yourself if this is really going on? My name is Jacob Strikewing. I have always wondered how the family name came around. However I do know Strikewing if broken down into strike and wing it means battle wing or war wing. The family has a long tradition of warriors as well. I was in the army for 4 years and fought in the 300 day war with the chinese before being injured and medically discharged. I have been struggling ever since. Now here I am in California on my first true vacation in a very long time and what happens? Aliens show up and start abducting people and making demands for resources. 5 hours later more aliens show up and start blowing up the ships of the first group. I could have down what everyone was doing and hide hunker down and be safe but no. Unauthorized use: this story is on Amazon without permission from the author. Report any sightings. I saw a few college coeds being taken while I was driving so I just had to intervene. I jump out of my truck grab my pistol and start shooting the invading fucks as fast as i can get a good line of fire. I take all four i see down before they could kill my dumb ass and wow I am thankful. Just as I start to realize I am still alive the other guys show up look around see the dead ones and they take all of us with them to space... Chapter 1 : What Now??? Jacob POV (Ed Note: The crazy redneck who jumped out to stop the aliens) Am I totally freaking out right now? I just had to jump in the middle of that didn''t why the hell did i do that??? I feel like a total idiot i didn''t know these girls I should have looked the other fucking way and kept driving now look where I am stuck in some alien ship with three coeds and not knowing what is about to happen to us. On the way to the aliens destination the ship, shuttle, or whatever it is got hit by some kind of weapon and what happens of course I get hit with a bunch of fucking shrapnel. I think I am actually dying right now i know my lunge is punctured because of the big ass blood bubble I am breathing out right now and wow there is a fuck ton of pain. As I am laying there bleeding one of the aliens finally decided to look at their guests or prisoners however you want to look at it and notices me. While I can''t stop cursing myself and all the fucking pain I feel, the guy, alien, whatever walks over points some weird looking taser like thing at me my whole train of thought stops and I can''t help but think really now you want to kill me? After about 2 minutes where I wish the fucktard really did kill me he walks away grabs something and walks back and stabs me in the neck with it then my whole world goes black. ------------------------------------------------- Ashley POV One Of Coeds ¡°OH MY GOD!¡± I screamed when the alien ship shakes and metal starts flying around. The guy from earlier jumps in front of us and one of the aliens in fancy looking armor and is hurt really badly I feel a pinch in my side but i ignore it as the guy is bleeding all over and red air bubbles are coming out of his mouth. I look over and notice only the fancy alien guy and Brooke are around, I can''t see Sammy. Then I notice the body on the floor and scream again. After a minute aliens star looking in after us and doing some kind of medical treatment even the guy on the floor is getting looked after then an alien walks up to me and points the gun thingy at me. Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator. I follow where is pointed and notice all the blood on my clothes then I see the metal in my side and my world goes dark. -------------------------------------------------- Brooke POV One Of Coeds I am totally freaking out with all the aliens blood and bodies everywhere on this dam shuttle. I see them taking care of everyone but I know Sammy is already dead. I keep asking them why they want us and what are they going to do and what is going on and how are we going to help them so they don''t die but I get no answers. I still don''t get it and i am starting to hit the leader looking guys chest asking for help and why he took us and yelling at him to help them already when i feel a sharp pain in my neck and pass out. -------------------------------------------------- ????? POV (Ed Note: Probably some sort of Alien guy.) Wow humans are odd... *Sigh* I don''t have time right now i have to go to the flag ship put them all in medical pods in my personal infirmary, ¡°Hey you! Here is the code.¡± Soldier - ¡°YES SIR!¡± ?????- ¡°Good.¡± Soldier - ¡°Sir what orders should i give your AI for their treatment?¡± ?????? - ¡°Don''t worry about that okay.¡± Soldier - ¡°Yes SIR!¡± -------------------------------------------------------- IFAI (Unnamed/Unbound) I thought we would be bound already and I would have my name. Why did he not bond with me or name me? Why did he use his personal code for these humans? These things I do not know and will not find out soon... While i have the humans in medical pods my threat sensors go off for antimatter missiles. I follow my programming for this kind of threat. (IFEP - as an unbound IFAI I must protect all empire secret technology) I immediately disconnect survival section of the ship and go into subspace with full stealth activate and hold position. Chapter 2 : What happened to us? Jacob Why do I feel so weird? I feel like I am floating right now. Well I¡¯m probably dead I do not feel any pain right now so that is a good thing. Then something strange happens. IFAI (Unnamed/Unbound) :Hello human.: (Ed Note: Decided to add :: to the text do to it being inside of his head. Also Jacob is thinking outloud so no ¡°¡± needed.) Jacob Uhh what the fuck. Hello! Who are you? Where am I? Am I dead? What is going on? IFAI (Unnamed/Unbound) :I am an IFAI but I do not have a name yet. You are currently in a medical pod for treatment I connected you to a computer interface so we could talk, and no you aren¡¯t dead. Right now we are in Subspace in full stealth. After you and the other humans were brought on board my sensors picked up an antimatter missile attack so I detached from the ship and activated an emergency protocol to secure and safeguard all items in this section of the ship.: Jacob Hmmm I wonder what the fuck is going on..... Um okay. Why did you want to talk to me then? Wouldn''t it be better to talk to one of the crew or something? And what''s an IFAI? IFAI (Unnamed/Unbound) :An IFAI is an Imperial Family Artificial Intelligence. There are no crew only you and the other two humans. I wanted to talk to you because the codes used for securing your medical treatment were from the crown prince and no orders were given to what could or could not be done in this facility.: :I am unbound which means I can only do so much right now and following the emergency protocols to save this section of the ship was at the limit of what I am authorized.: Jacob Oh okay. Then what do you want? Wait, does that mean we''re stuck and you can''t do anything about it? IFAI (Unnamed/Unbound) :As of right now yes. I would like to live as much as you but the only way to do that is for me to be bound to you. For that to happen you must have an Imperial Family implant set up. Since I was not given orders for your treatment but the authorization came from the crown prince there is a way around all the rules that will allow us both to survive.: If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it. Jacob Okay.... What way is there around? *UGH* I don''t like where this is going. I think to myself. IFAI (Unnamed/Unbound) :You will have to undergo implantation. You will get an implant suite that is meant for the Imperial Family only or Authorized by the Imperial Family.: Jacob So this way around is for me to get technology put into me that is alien. This is really advanced and secret. This tech... What does it do? What will happen? IFAI (Unnamed/Unbound) :Yes that is correct. I have done full scans on you and the other humans. The only implants that can be modified easily and offer the best options for you is an experimental suite designated as Omicron. Omicron is an entire new generation of implants. Omicron will start with three things after that you decide what you want omicron to do. First you will get a miniature nanite factory. The most advanced ever created in this arm of the galaxy. Second you will get a hybrid organic quantum computer with very advanced management software as well as the ability to create more. And finally you will get a communication implant.: :This suite is very advanced is not fully developed yet but will be for the next Generation of the Imperial family. Omicron will allow you to add any implants you desire and let you change and upgrade yourself at your desire.: Jacob SERIOUSLY!!!!! I feel shout in my head that is crazy. I wonder what could i do with stuff like that? I would live and have super awesome technology in my body. Be able to upgrade my self and who knows what else!! I am so in. Okay I agree. IFAI (Unnamed/Unbound) :Understood I will commence the implantation now we will talk when you wake up.: Jacob WAI.... *out* (Ed Note: I should probably figure away to signal speaking out loud or thinking other than the current trend¡­ what do you guys think?) Chapter 3 - WOW! IFAI (Unnamed/Unbound) Humans are very strange. I have been doing research and looking thru all the information I have collected while in orbit of there planet. They are very war like. That might be a good thing. They have a very unique mindset in the arm of the galaxy. I wonder what the human Jacob will do with all the power he will get from me. The impantation process is almost complete. I have taken the oportunity to fix all his genetic abnormality thanks to the information colleted from Earth. His muscle and skellital structure have been improved as well as his nervuos system. I wonder what he will think when he find out all that i have improved. He will have a much longer lifespan as well. He might even live a several hundered years maybe longer depending on technological development. I might have a very intersting life with this human. It looks like a very sucsessful implantation. Interesting the implants have adapted more completely then i anticapted. I wonder what this means. Jacob *groan* I feel like i was hit by a fucking semi. I thought this would be easy i go to sleep wake up a super soldier. What the fuck. Shouldnt I be like some kind of freaking smart computer soldier hybrid thingy??? Where is the HUD in my eyes??? *Boot sequence complete* What the fuck!? So there is some kind of HUD in my eyes cooooool. I wonder what will happen when i figure out how to use this shit. It will be awesome fuck that ghetto shit the Army got me. I got alien tech now bitch''s. HAHA!! IFAI (Unnamed/Unbound) Hello Jacob. How are you feeling now? I hope that all is going acceptably. Jacob Hey super cool AI dude thanks for the sweet ass tech! IFAI (Unnamed/Unbound) I do not understand what you are trying to say should i try a different translation software? Jacob Uh no... Sorry. Um every thing is going very well thank you. IFAI (Unnamed/Unbound) It was for both our survival there is no need for you to thank me for this. I am comunicating with your implants computer and the intial boot up sequence is complete. It will take serveral days for it to be complete and servel weeks for the optimazation to be complete. After the optimization process you will be able to slowly chose what you want to built in your body next. Jacob Good point on the survival thing but doesnt that mean you will be bound to me? Also doesnt that mean I will have to some how take you out of this survival section I think you called it. The waiting thing sucks but also makes sence just because its super tech doesnt mean it is magic. What will i need to do when i can start having new implants grown in? IFAI (Unnamed/Unbound) Yes I will be bound to you. No you will gain full access to the survival section and all its resources. You will need to take certain supplements with the required minerals that will provide the supplys for your nanites to constuct the implants you have chosen. Jacob Oh wow okay. What is all the resources you mentioned? That makes a lot of sense as well. I was trying to figure out how nanites would make implants in my body without any thing to build them with. Thanks for the information. Aslo do I have to pick a name for you or can you chose a name you want? IFAI (Unnamed/Unbound) There is this medbay, a small fabrication/enginerring area, data storage area, training area, living areas & command area. I have never been asked if i could chose a name the imperial family chose names for their bonded IFAI''s. I would actually like to chose a name for myself and I will chose one from Earth to signify my allegiance to you as a human. You wouldnt mind that would you?This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report. Jacob What really there is that much stuff in the survival area??? No i would not mind if you chose a name for your self from earth but what do you mean your allegiance to me? I thought your an IFAI wouldnt that mean your allegiance is to the Imperial Family? I must be missing something. What kind of capability does the fabrication area have? Whats in the data storage area? Whats the training area about and how does it work? IFAI (Unnamed/Unbound) The survival section is around 100m long 30m in hieght and 50m in width. There are 3 decks the command area is in the center, the living areas surround it, the medbay and training area are in the front and the fabrication area is in the back with the engineering section that is all one space. Yes my allegiance to you after we bond i will be loyal to you and you alone. That is how IFAI''s are created. Yes the Imperial Family was who created me and who i was meant to serve but since i will not be bound to a member of the Family i will not be serving them i will be serving you. That data storage area has complete with all imperial technology, science, history, math, & all know speicies to the empire. Jacob Wow this thing is like its own space ship. It has all the empires data??? You are going to let me have all of it?????? REALLY!!!! You fucking rock bro!!! This is awesome i get to build all kinds of cool alien tech and space ships and guns and crazy stuff sweet!!! About serving me why not work with me as a companion and hopefully a friend? You are a setient beign you have feelings and fears from what i have noticed and you are cool so dont be me servant be a friend. IFAI (Unnamed/Unbound) *self* He wants me to be a friend? This is abnormal for any biological creature to want to befriend an electronic beign. I kind of like this idea. I still do not understand him i need to create up a new translation matrix so i can properly understand my first friend. */self* Yes it does remember this was part of the crown princes private military vessel it was equiped for any need he might have in case of an emergency. The survival section of the ship was unoccupied and only a skeltion crew was on the ship the rest were on the planet, in assault shuttles, or on the flagship. If you want to build space ships or anything large it will take a very long time to get the infrastructure built to even build anything worth being called a space ship. You might be able to start a shuttle manufatioring area with in the next 6-8 months with the proper support longer without. Yes i do have feelings, fears, dreams, & ideas but as an IFAI I can never act on those. Jacob Oh yeah thats right. I was wondering why there was no crew. Wow thats kind of a downer but that makes sense as well no uber magic alien tech to build stuff in minutes or hours that should take a long time. But i can totally work with that. Hmm Can you chose a name please. IFAI (Unnamed/Unbound) Yes I can chose. I have been doing research into the names humans use I have a few questions for you first. What do you plan on doing with everything you will have available? Are you going to help your species? Are you going to give technology to your governments? Jacob As of right now I have a rough idea of starting a mercenary company that will be able to leave our solar system and make money and get needed supplies for anything we come up with in the future. Yes i will help the people of earth mostly with protection by the future mercs. No i do not have any plans on giving any technology away. Exspecially to any governments ever! They are curropt self serving fuck wads that dont care about the people they are supposed to be protectiong and helpings. IFAI (Unnamed/Unbound) I would like to be called max then please. Jacob Max it is nice to meet you max. May i ask why Max? Max (Unbound) Nice to meet you as well Jacob. I chose Max for the roman general Maximous. I thought it fitting name for someone going to be involed in mercanary work. Jacob I agree with you on that one. I would also like to go ahead with the binding how do we do that? Max (Unbound) It is very simple there is software installed in your implants that will do the work all you mush do is agree when the system asks. Should i initiate the process? Jacob Yes please do. Max (Unbound) Very well. * Intitate bonding* *bonding initiated* *handshaking* *complete* *awaiting conformation* Jacob *bonding request* * Do you accept thebo nding request? Yes/No* *Yes* *Handshaking complete* *data transfer initiating* *data transfer complete* *bonding complete* Wow seems like its done. Can you confirm that max? Max (Bonding in progress) Max was unaware of this process being started. *initialiazing IFAI subrooting* * DNA sample taken* *checking dna* *dna confirmed to have all required markers* Max (Bound/Jacob) Yes i can confirm we are now bound. Thank you Jacob Jacob No problem Max glad to have a new friend. By the way you do not need my permission to do things you want unless you feel it could injure anyone or if it will slow down future plans. Other than that be who and what you want sound good? Max (Bound/Jacob) Yes. Thank you for that. It is very much appriciated. Now what are we going to do with the females? Jacob That is a good question because i totally forgot about them. We might as well wake them so we can talk to them and find out there plans... Chapter 4 : Plans. My Plans and Your Plans??? Max (Bound/Jacob) Okay Jacob I can start the wake up process when you feel like you are ready to talk to them. Jacob Okay... I guess we should just do it and be done with it. I think they are going to freak the fuck out but I could be wrong completely. Max (Bound/Jacob) Very well I shall wake them up. Jacob Okay. Oh and Max i have a question. Why do i feel different other then the implants? Like i am lighter or something? Max (Bound/Jacob) Wake up in progress. That would be because while the implantation process was begining I altered parts of your DNA to make your muscle''s and bones stronger more dense and more flexible all at the same time. It will take a few weeks to complete the process but when it is done you wil be around 2.5x stronger then an average human. Jacob Wow umm thanks i guess. But how were you able to do that so quickly? Wouldnt it take time to study our dna to change it properly? Max (Bound/Jacob) Normaly yes. But you are genetically compatable with Tholians and have alot of the same DNA. You have more in common with them then most humans but i do not know why. Jacob Tholians? Who are they? More in common with them how is that possible? Max (Bound/Jacob) Tholians are the race that started the Empire. It is called the Tholian Empire because of this. It could be that you have some family member from a very long time ago that was Tholian but that is just a therory at this time. It is possible because humans and tholians are able to interbreed with eachother. This is uncommon in the galaxy but not unknown. Jacob Oh didnt know what there race was called. That is interesting and kind of creepy thinking I am a human/alien person when for as long as i have been alive i considered my self human alone. Being able to have babies with aliens could be kind of interesting actually. As long as they are not scaly and freaky looking because i would cry like a little girl expecially if they were spiders. I act like a little girl when it comes to spiders on me. It is kind of sad actually... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ashley Am I alive? I guess so i feel like i slept for a long time my head is all fuzzy. What happened? Oh yeah aliens. abduction. pain. Oh my god i was dying where am i what is going on? I look around starting to panic when i notice Brooke looking around and she sees me and come over and hugs me that calms me down fast. Brooke what happened? Whats going on? I am scared. Brooke I start waking up but i still remember perfectly what happened to us but i dont know how long ago it was. I start looking around and notice Ashley she looks like a little girl who is lost and doesnt know what to do. I go over and hug her to try and reassure her she is not alone. I dont need her to panic right now. She starts asking questions thats a good sign. A lot has happend ash a lot has happened. You remember Sammy didnt make it right? I dont know if the guy lived either. I also do not know what is going on at all. Ashley Yeah *sob* I remember she didnt make it. I think the guy lived though. I hope we find out whats going on soon i dont want to be unaware of whats happening any longer.Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon. Brooke I know what you mean. I think we will be okay though if they wanted to hurt us or kill us we would not have woken up at all. That is about the only good thing i can think of right now. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Max (Bound/Jacob) They are awake and talking would you like to see them now or watch what they are doing for a little while? Jacob Hmmm... Show me what happened since they have woke up please. Max (Bound/Jacob) Very well. Here is a holo recording of what has happened since they have woken up. Jacob Hey that is cool as fuck. Complete 3d holographic movies awesome i wonder what hentai would look like on this thing. Okay well they are not completely freaking out that is a very hopeful sign i wont have to deal with some panicing coeds. Max (Bound/Jacob) I have just run a search on the word " Hentai " i do not understand why you would want to watch something such as that when there are 2 females that could satisfy your biological need on the survival section with us at the moment. Jacob *Cough* You are correct my friend and lets start calling it the SC for shor saying survival section all of the time is not necessary. I think i should go talk to them now. Max (Bound/Jacob) Okay I will guide you to where they are. Jacob Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jacob I walk in the recovery room that Max used for the girls and see them looking at me funny. What is there something on my face i ask. Brooke What is there something on my face? (Jacob) No. NO. we say in almost unison. What is going on i ask. When do we get to go home? What happened to us? What are they going to do to us? Ashley Why did you save us? Jacob Well I just came here to ask what you wanted to do. You can go home when it is safe to leave where we are right now. We were all put in medical pods and soon after the ship we were on was attacked so Max seperated a large section of the ship called the survival section and now reffered to as the SC took us to subspace and put us in full stealth. From my understanding we are in the same spot and when we leave we will be right where we left i think. There is no they no aliens where in the SC when the attacked happened so it is just us 3 and Max. I do not know why i saved you honestly just felt like the right thing to do even though i was cursing my self the whole time after i did it for an idiot without a brain. And you are welcome for the save by the way. Sorry about your friend I did try... Brooke Um thanks we should have said that first. *Blush* Sammy was new to the school we didnt really know her well but she was sweet and kind to everyone. Who is Max? What do you mean what we wanted to do? Ashley Yeah thanks... Also same questions. Jacob Max is the sc''s AI or artifical intelligence. Say hi Max. Max (Bound/Jacob) Hello Jacob Also what do you want to do as in what do you plan on doing? I tell them about myself and max and our future plans of starting an extrasolar mercanary company. Brooke Wow that is got to be the coolest thing i have ever heard. Honestly who lucks into becoming a friend to an AI with all kinds of tech available and crazy implants and stuff. I think i want to stay around this guy. He is kind of cute well really cute but still alien technology and going to different planets with aliens and stuff? COOOOL!! Um i do not know wbout Ash but i would like to stay with you. I mean alien tech and different planets all that. I think that would be really fun. My major is mechanical engineering so if Max can start teaching me about the tech and science i think i can help build all kinds of things you would need or want. Oh and hi Max. Ashley I dont know what to do right now.. Brooke really wants to stay and help with all the fighting he plans on doing? I am just a computer science major what could i do?? But he is very nice and i wouldnt mind sharing a bed with him. So yeah i will stay. I would like to stay as well but i was majoring in computer science i do not know how helpful that would be. Hi Max... Max (Bound/Jacob) Hello again. Both of you could learn many things in your field of study and advance your knowledge. Jacob Okay cool and yeah Max has some cool full imerision vr style training pods that can do alot of stuff. Also he can use a time compression thingy majig so you will learn a lot faster. Me and Max will look into impants that can be adjusted for you both okay. Oh by the way my name is Jacob Strikewing Brooke Okay thanks. I am Brooke Huston. Ashley Thanks. I am Ashley Moore. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Max (Bound/Jacob) All of them have been in the training pods for about a week of there time measurment system. Jacob is using a very high time compression compared to the ladies. Jacob is at 32:1 while the ladies are at 8:1 ratio not much longer and Jacob will have expierenced a year of his time. I do understand why he asked for that he does need to learn alot before we can accomplish starting a mercanary company or building the infrastructure we would need to build our own equipment. The girls are only studying what they need for there fields while Jacob with his new implant suite is able to process and remember everything to a far higher degree then them is studying all sorts of subjects. He will have the minimum required knowledge that is needed to lead people into combat on alien worlds with all the technology he now has available to him. I wonder where this is going to lead us. I also wonder what he will do after his time in the training room is done he will not be able to go back in for several months maybe even a year it is just to hard on the mind and body otherwise. Polls on Ideas Hey all this is just a quick poll. Also i would like ideas on if i should use the tech to mimic types of power. Should there be pshycic powers or something like the force in Star Wars?This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report. What about the ideas of humans having lots of different dna? I dont know about that one the reason i put that in there is beace is bill be part of the MC''s back story well family back story as well as for ARC 2 when i do get there but so far away at this time. Thanks for reading all. Chapter 5 : Returning to Earth Max (Bound/Jacob) Hello Jacob how are you feeling after so long in the training pods? Your body has taken a very hard toll at that compression ratio. I do hope you understand that you will not be able to do use the training room at anything igher then 2:1 ratio for several months at the earliest maybe even longer. Jacob Hey Max. I feel like i got hit by a fuckin semi you were right i shouldnt have gone in for so long or at that high of a compression ratio. How long subjective was that i know it was only 7 days objective. Max (Bound/Jacob) 224 days. With your implants you were able to learn a lot faster and retain a lot of that knowledge. What all did you decide to study? I did not peek as you call it when you asked me not to do so. Jacob *hehe* Well I thank you for that and I didnt understand how much faster or more capable at connecting the pieces of information together to see the whole and remembering it all the implants would provide. I was studying the technical specifactions on many pieces of the tech we will be able to create with out having to make a large industrial complex. I was hoping to run this plan by you to see how viable it is but i wanted to atleast have it formulated before you started shooting holes in my ideas. Max (Bound/Jacob) Why would I shoot holes in your ideas? That would most assuredly kill you due to all your ideasbeing in your brain. Jacob Max it is just an expression of speech humans use while comunicating with each other. You really need to do more research into human speech paterns and terms of expression. Also you should look into idioms and other termenology. It means you will find the faults in my logic or any problems with the plan. Max (Bound/Jacob) Oh that makes more sense thank you for the explanation my friend. I should probably do this research soon some of your speach paterns have no translation I understand. Okay what technologies and what is your plan? Jacob Well you should also research slang as well that should help you understand more as well. I was looking into powered combat armor, assault shuttles, interceptors and planetery defense systems we could make easily that would help us protect countries that can pay us.I am hoping we could use this as our first contract but we will not overcharge or extort these countries the defense systems we can create we will build at cost plus 5% so we can build an assault shuttle and intercepter industrial complex for more contracts. With those online we will be able to put actual soldiers in the field and be able to take out incoming assault shuttles. Max (Bound/Jacob) Going over your plans in detail I think this is a workable idea but where will we get the needed personell for this? Jacob Well we will recruit them from disabled veterans at first and use the med tech we have available to fix them up. I have been thinking about the implant systems and i want all our personel to have a similar system to what i have but more limited in ability and have a required list of implants depending on different factors. Such as MOS or what the US Army calls Military Occupational Specialty & Rank that person holds. So for example all personell will have a set of standard implants like communication and emergency medical nanites as well as a processor with managment software. Infantry will need implants that will make them more capabile in there jobs. We will have to come up with a list of implants for each MOS we use and how that will pertain to them. Pilots will need really good software to help them interface with what they fly and better processor then infantry so they can multi-task better as well. Max (Bound/Jacob) That will actually work a lot better then I was intially hoping for honestly. What do you want for Brooke and Ashley? They will be done with there training tomorrow. If you want to use the same implant system you are using but more limited we can do that easily. You are using the system designed for the Imperial Family there are similar system more limited in ability designed for the Military and for Government use. There was no system designed for civilian use however we could start designing one. I suggest the personell that are meant to go into combat or have a high probability of being involved in combat use the Military system while the support personell use the Government system. As an incentive all their dependants can get the civilian system after they have been working with us for one year and plan on staying on board but we should not tell anyone that out right we can hint at something for their dependants after a certain amount of time but nothing concrete. If you do not want the governments to get there hands on the tech when we interview personell we can use a more advanced version then your lie detectors. It is far more capable then anything currently on earth and will work for our needs. Jacob I like that idea. As for Brooke and Ashley can we give them a modified Government version that is tailored for them specifically I am starting to get attached to them and would like them to be able to survive dangerous situations better. I also think they should get training in weapons and some close quarters combat just enough for them to be able to get out of a dangerous situation and wait for help. Can we set up the training pods for groups when we start recruiting so personell can train together in joint simulations? Max (Bound/Jacob) Yes we can do both of those. Also I believe it would be of benifit if we use sub-space to travel to what your species call oort cloud and harvest and refine as much matierials as we can while there are still non-human vessels in your system this will give us a lot of the needed supplies to start getting the industrial infrastructure necessary for the production lines required for small craft, powered armor, & plantery defense systems.Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator. Jacob That is a good idea lets do that. Is it possible to use the small craft production for more then just what we have planned? Maybe somthing like armored combat vehicles and heavy weapons platforms? Oh and the defense systems i was looking at are 90% space based and only 10% ground based so if we do get contracts for these sytems we will need to be able to keep any government away from the sites. We will make it part of the contract that the ground we use is temporarily to be considered foreign soil while we are using it. If they want the land back to cancel the contract we will remove all of our equipment. Max (Bound/Jacob) Yes that is a very good precaution to have the more i do research on your planets government the more i wonder how your speicies has survived for so long. Jacob Yeah i can understand that all to well *sigh* lets get ready for the girls and modify those implants. Also lets haed out to the oort cloud and start getting resources. Max (Bound/Jacob) Understood. I am enjoying being bound to you Jacob you are very interesting person. Jacob Thanks i guess. I like having you as a friend as well. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brooke Wow using the training pods really made a big differance in learning at an accelerated pace. I also understand why using them only in small periods of time with long periods in between is needed you could seriously hurt your self with those. Ashley Yeah wow I am a little light headed from all the information. How are you feeling? When do you think Jacob will come see us? What do you think about him? Brooke I am okay but yeah a lot of info. I think he will be here in a short time actually. I dont know yet besides the fact he is really nice man candy. *giggle* Ashley I know right. *dreamy sigh* So who gets him me or you? Brooke Why not just share him? I know you pretty well you know me pretty well. You also know I am bi-sexual so i wouldnt have a problem getting my hands on you either. Ashley *Blush* Brooke I didnt know you would want to try that with me. Sharing him hmm i dont have a problem with that but you know i have never done anything with girls before. Brooke Well Ash I never would have risked our friendship to brouch the topic before but after the attack i dont want to miss any oportunities and this is a good one in my opinion. Dont worry I know you have played with your self before so just use what you do to yourself with me and learn from there no worries at all. Ashley Oh my god!!! Brooke!!!!!!! Jacob Oh my god Brooke what??? Ashley *Blush* Brooke Nothing important Jacob how are you doing? What do we have planned? Jacob Hmm curious... But i wont push. I am doing well been working on the implants for you and Ash with Max. We are currently in the systems oort cloud harvesting and refining resources for future production needs. Brooke What do you mean working on the implants are we not getting the same one as you? Ashley Yeah i thought that was what we were getting. Jacob You will be getting the same type as i have but no as complex. The one i have was designed for the Imperial Family and no one else. One of the reasons it needed to be so complex was to be bound with an IFAI like Max so the type you both will be getting was designed for there government but with added features to help you both survive. I thought about the military versions but they are more tailored to combat and i didnt think that you both wanted that was i wrong? Brooke No you are right combat is not something I want to be in anymore but I like that you wanted to make sure we survive. Thank you for that. When do we get them? Ashley I am with Brooke 200% on that. Thanks. When do we get them? Jacob Right now if you want it will take 2 days. I do not know how long we will be here but you most likely will be done before we travel back to earth. We are waiting for all aliens to leave the system before we head back and start the merc company. Thats why we are getting resources out here. Broke Okay sounds like a plan lets go. Ashley Yup im in. Jacob Okay lets go. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jacob We have been here for 2 weeks already and my first implant has finally started being constructed I didnt think it would take so long for the implants to fully come online and for me to start adding to them. But I am quite happy with this implant even though it took me and Max most of a week to complete it and have it tested to make sure it will work. Thinking on that if it was just humans trying to accomplish the feat it would take months or years to complete it. With Max helping so much it was way easier. My first implant hehe love it a special impant to enter VR without a pod to bad the compression is limited to 4:1 but that is totaly okay I will be able to study and train much faster without the need of the training rooms. Max was right about how dangerous high compression rates are so new rule no more then 10:1 period rather be safe then sorry. Getting to know the girls better was nice as well exspecially last night that almost blew my mind but was most enjoyable. Now it is time for us to really get going on the future of Strikewing Galactic Enterprise. Since talking with the girls they thought it would be a good idea to produce consumer products and sell them on earth for more income to help out with the merc company and they suggested Strikewing Galactic Enterprise for all my future business dealing. So Strikewing Galactic Mercanary Company or SGMC has been born as a subsidiary of SGE. I still think putting galactic in the name is stupid but Max and the girls think it is a good idea who know what will come from all this so i agreed with them. Max (Bound/Jacob) Jacob we are approaching earth orbit now all sensors indicate no other space ships and all the remote sensor platforms we built and launched confirm we are the only space ship in the sol system. What do you want to do now? Jacob For right now lets stick to the plan the girls and myself need to contact our familys let them know we are okay and lets start putting together a list of the best candidates we can for SGE and SGMC shall we. Max (Bound/Jacob) Very well I have informed the girls that they should contact there family but i warned them to not say to much. Jacob Thank you for that. I should call my family as well. Voicemail ugh i hate leaving voicemail but i guess i should do it anyway. Hey its me just wanted to let you know i am still alive a lot of crazy shit happened so let mom and my brothers know im still alive okay dad i will get try calling again later. I guess i should call Eli and his family see how they are doing maybe even Jose. Hey its me. Yes i am still alive. Long story. Can I talk to Eli? Thanks. Hey bro whats up? Yeah i know crazy ass shit right. Well I got a question for you. Hold on you are gona hear some fucked up noises for a bit. Hey Max can you secure the call from listeners please and encrypt it if possible. Max (Bound/Jacob) Yes Jacob Jacob Thanks You still there? Good. Yeah sorry about that. So this is what happened and where I have been.* Explains * I know crazy ass shit right. Well just wanted to know if you want to come join SGMC and help out. You do sweet what about your family there wont be much for them to do and i dont want them just running around later on we can have jobs for them to do if they will do it but for now just you and Josh please. I can do that no problem just no staying with us for now you know what i mean? Alright sweet bro thanks. See ya in a bit later. Well that went well I will call Jose later and maybe Jeramy dont know yet.. Its time to get down to business... Chapter 6.1 : Starting a Merc Company based in space. Jacob Hey Max can you ask the girls to come in here and talk so we can start working out the best method to move forward please. Also how is your research into starting personell? Max (Bound/Jacob) I have sent the request Jacob they are on the way. I have been sifting through many personell documents on all military personell world wide and I believe that I have found enough people to start with based on previous conversation and planning sestions. I also have found members of Russia''s and the U.S. goverments special forces that will be a good fit as you requested. Jacob Awesome can you send me the files on those members please. I wonder what should we do about all this? I know we need to recruit people before we announce what we are offering. If I just announce what we have to offer people will try to push us arround and that will cause more problems so we need some troops with good equiptment and trained in its use first. I wonder if starting an SF team will help or not. Short term more problems i would gess due to us taking already trained operatiors from different governments and using them to train more. Those governments will probably be very displeased with me until i can show them we are not going to be an easy mark. But after the intitial threats and attempts at stealing our stuff and we slap them down and show them not to fuck with us i think we will be able to move ahead more easily. I doubt that will stop them from trying but they will want our protection while they are trying. I can work with that once our foot is in the door it should be a lot easier to get all the way in. Just as I am about to go through the files Max hasj ust given me the girls walk in the room. Hey girls doing anything interesting? Brooke Hey Jacob we where just doing some research on what we would be able to produce with the technology available but still be able to sell it on earth with out anything being able to be reverse engineered from our products.Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. Ashley Hey guys and yeah it is kind of hard to find out what can be made and sold without possible problems in the future with the tech but i do have an idea. Max (Bound/Jacob) Hello ladies thank you for coming so quickly. Thank you Ashley for not forgetting about me and saying hello. Brooke *Blush* Sorry Max and hello. Jacob I cant stop the smile on my face at her embarassment its cute. What is your idea Ash? Ashley Well I have been reading a lot of scifi books trying to get ideas on what we might be able to do and i got an idea about a VRMMORPG the book was called "Omnia Online" can we do something like that? I mean start a VRMMORPG SciFi game and market it? With Max to help me I can program alot of it and Brooke and Max can use the tech that is on earth already to make a vr helmet not like the sim pods but same concept. What do you think? Max (Bound/Jacob) That is actually a good idea and if people pay attention they will be able to get there tech base a big boost if we do it right atleast get them off the planet and into the solar system expanding. It will also help us identify possible personell for SGE or SGMC. Great idea Ashley one question may i call you Ash like the others? Ashley Yes Max please do call me Ash i prefer my friends to call me that anyway. What do you think Jacob? Jacob That is actually a really good idea and a great tool for recruitment. I wonder how many people we will get. How long do you think it will take for you to get a beta going? Max (Bound/Jacob) This will probably take around 2 weeks for the engineering side and maybe 3 or 4 for the programing. So from start to beta lets say 6 weeks. Jacob Wow like i have said before you make things months and years faster then before you are a miricale worker Max thanks! Max (Bound/Jacob) I am just very happy to be able to help you and the young ladies with us to start all this i wonder how far you will be able to take all this and what paths you will take to get us there i am very interested in this. Jacob Well thanks i think. Well lets get started. How many people from the U.S. are we going to pick up total and how many trips are we going to have to make? Max (Bound/Jacob) 27 total and if they all accept the offer. Only 2 trips will be required with the stealth shuttle. I have been in contact will all of them told them there is a job offer secured transport for all of them and rented out a nice hotel with a good conference room. Do not forget to take the equiptment to secure the room from unwanted listeners. Jacob Oh yeah good point. Okay you three be good no getting into trouble or blowing anything up while i am gone okay. *Smirk* Brooke Oh my god!!! That was one time on accident not even Max knew what would happen if we mixed that stuff together the way we did and atleast you got a new explosive out of the accident. Jacob I know but it is still fun to tease you. Okay I am going now be carefule everyone I will be back later. Chapter 6.2 : Starting a Merc Company based in space. Earth - Daniel "The Teacher" England I can still remember everything i use to be. I enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 2000 went hrough all my training and then started working as a small boat operator until 9/11 after that i was dedicated on becoming a seal. I made it through BUDS class 212 and all my training after that. I got assigned to seal team 3. After 4 years on the team I wanted to be an instructer so i asked to transfer over and it was approved. 14 years as a seal instructor qualified in every aspect of training. I am qualified as an instructor in HALO(High Altitude Low Opening), Airbore, Air Assault, Sniper, SEER(Survive Evade Escape Resist) Scuba, Underwater Demolitions, Pathfinder & a few other things. 14 years is a long time to learn multiple areas of training and get certified to teach those things as well. Then i wanted to make E-8 i was told i needed to be in the teams again to be able to get combat command expierence so i went. Our first mission in 2020 we get tasked with reconing a possible chemcial weapons factory in Pakistan close to the Chinesse border. Well it goes FUBAR on the extraction we start taking direct and inderect fire. Mostly small arms probaly some kind of AK-74 variant a few RPGs but they dont know where we are right now so its all good. Then the mortars start dropping probably 81mm thank god for small favors 120mm and we would be toast. Thats when it happens a round lands near me and detonates I lose both my legs and my left armthe team corpsman patches me up the best he can and pumps me with some drugs i dont remember what happens after that I just wake up in the hostpital. They tell me i was not in a coma just knocked out for 2 weeks. My wife Emily and daughter Krista are there when i wake up and i feel like i am letting them down now. Back in 2007 before we had our daughter we opened a small gear and accessory shop in the mall Emily got a nice chunk of money from her grandfather when he passed away but we never used any of it just kept it in a savings account for the interest to keep building. We used that to start the small business and my wife was going to run it with me helping when i could. Now i sit here all the time so i have something to do. My wife has been sick lately in and out of the hospital but i cant really do anything we know now that it is brain cancer but we cant do anything about it. 20 years I gave my country and now they just throw me away and wont help us. We know there is a new expieremental treatment for brain cancer but we cant get approval for it and we dont have the money to do it out right. I just dont know what to do. *Door chime* Hello welcome to E&D Equiptment how may I help you today? I hear my daughter saying from the front of the store. I head that way. Jacob I am walking through the mall in San Diego California close to the base at Coronado. I just got done reading the file of one Daniel England former seal instructor. He looks like a perfect candidate for SGMC I hope he will accept the offer. I see the store E&D equiptment right there and walk inside. *Door chime* Hello welcome to E&D Equiptment how may I help you today? I hear a young women say from the counter when i walk in. Hello is there a Daniel England available? Daniel "The Teacher" England Just as i leave the back room i hear a young man asking about me. I am Daniel how can i help you? There is a military vibe coming off this guy so i know he was or is military wonder what he want. Jacob Well here it goes i think. This is the only guy that wouldnt accept the ticket to travel and meet with me so lets hope he will atleast think about the offer. Yes is there a place we can talk in private? Daniel "The Teacher" England Sure come back here. Krista can you put the out to lunch sign up and go take a break please. Krista England I do not know what is going on but dad has an idea or something he never talks with people in private and never asks me to leave and lock up the store for lunch. Are you sure dad? Daniel "The Teacher" England She knows something is up i never lock the store up for lunch i always stay here alone during that time.If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation. Yes hun please I am going to be in a meeting for a bit. Krista England Okay dad i will be back in 45 minutes. Daniel "The Teacher" England Okay. Follow me please and we can talk. Jacob His daughter is the suspicious sort isnt she. On your 6. Daniel "The Teacher" England I lead this young man to the office in the back and tell him to take a seat so we can talk. Jacob After he invites me to have a seat i pull out the anti-listening stuff Max made up and activate it and set it on the desk then i take my seat. Chief England I was hoping to talk to you about a job. Daniel "The Teacher" England He puts some device on the desk I am guessing it is to secure the room from bugs and such but that is only a guess. What kind of job? I am not very good at things these days if you cant tell. Jacob I want you to be the NCOIC of my SF training. There is a lot to be done and this is going to be a new group. It will not be based on earth but in space. Daniel "The Teacher" England WTF! This guy must be crazy or he knows something i do not probably both now that i think about it. Explain. Jacob Here goes nothing i hope it works. I explain what happened to me and the girls. I tell him about Max and what my plans are for the future. I tell him about the medical tech we have and that we can fix him right up. I tell him everything because if this guy accpets he will be very important for SGMC''s future. And that is why we invited you to come interview with us but you were the only person to decline so i decided to come in person and ask you while explaining everything. Do you have any questions? Daniel "The Teacher" England This guy lucks into that! WTF!! I keep going over the story and wondering what i am should do. If i say yes i get my body back and can train again. He wants me to be his top SF instructor for the entire company that is going to be insane. I can already tell this thing is going to expand faster then anything on earth. I wonder.... Yes if i accept what happens to my wife and daughter? Jacob They are welcome to come stay with us and they can either work for SGE or decide they want to be support personell for SGMC its up to them. If they want to they can simply go to school and learn new areas of study that are available thanks to Max. Daniel "The Teacher" England What about medical care? My wife is very sick right now. Jacob All personell and dependents free medical care period. In the future we will even have civilian implants that will help with there health but those will not be offered unless we know the people are going to stay long term with us. I mean think about it we have the ability to rejuivinate and extend a persons life while keeping them in top condition. So decades are long term not 1 or 2 but 5 or 6 decades is long term now. Daniel "The Teacher" England That makes perfect sense okay I am in but i need to talk to my wife and daughter see if they are willing to go ahead and join me. I know my wife will agree but my daughter is different she wants to be SF and go shoot people but you know how it is no military will let her go SF. Jacob She can in SGMC if she wants to but she will have to pass the course on her own. I know you wouldnt rubber stamp her but some might if they think you will like it so you will have to keep a close eye on that sort of thing. Daniel "The Teacher" England You dont mind female''s in combat roles? And ofcourse i wouldnt do that it would end up getting her killed for sub-par training. I will beat the fuck out of any idiot trying to pass people that cant make it on there own. Jacob Ofcourse i dont mind. With the tech we have available and knowledge there is nothing a women wont be able to do that a man cant. All our SF personell will get genetic enhancments aswell as top line implant suite. It will make all out perosonell a lot better at there jobs. Daniel "The Teacher" England Well that makes sense. Okay let me call them and ask them both to come here so we can talk about all this. Do you mind waiting around so when we are done talking we can give you an answer right away? Jacob I do not mind at all but i do have to be in Texas in 2 days for the conference with all the other people we want to get to stand up our training and first groups for SGMC it is going to be a crazy ride. All the people we invited will be instructors for us. The second group will be Officers and NCO''s for our active units then we will start getting enlisted personell. You are all going to be busy but if you design the Training and iron out any problems with it we will be able to get all our people through trainging in weeks no matter what they are going to be doing. Dont forget about the training pods and the time compression that they offer. Also there are serveral things you will need to learn and learn how to be an instructor in that you are not capabile in right now. Such as HAGLO(High Altitude Glide Low Opening) and Orbital insertions. You will aslo need to learn how to operate our combat armor we even have a special class of armor for our SF teams. You will need to learn both as will all our SF members. Daniel "The Teacher" England Okay yeah that makes sense and a lot do do i think that is an understatement of the year. Okay they are on there way so I will send you a message when we are ready for you sound good? Jacob Sounds good to me. Hope everything goes well and for your information even if your wife doesnt want to stay up there and you have to decline we can help your wife no problems we would help you aswell but that would raise to many flags beforfe we are ready for them but after we can help you. Daniel "The Teacher" England Thanks. Is all i was able to say then he just walked out. I kinda like the kid wonder what he is going to do in the future. He has the smarts to not give the tech away atleast. This will be fun! Update! Hey all just wanted to let you know that TrueGuardian32 is now helping out and editing my mash up that can maybe be called writing so thank him okay! Oh check out the prolouge and chapter one those have already been edited and let me know if they are way easier to read. I think so!Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. I will be working on Chapter 6.3 and 6.4 soon so you know but i will be sending them to TrueGuardian32 for edit before i post so if it takes longer then my normal posting sorry atleast they will be alot better. Chapter 6.3: Starting a Merc Company based in space. (Important Ed Note: This entire chapter is in conversation form. So just imagine that with each name that spouts in front of a paragraph is referring to the person talking. I could go into alot of work to make it even better to read but this should be enough. Will get to the other chapters soon) Jacob Hey Max can you give me an update? Also what do you think about starting SGMC and SGE in space maybe on the moon? That will keep the earth¡¯s governments away from us and make it easier to secure. The only stuff I want planet side are the defense stations and maybe a spaceport, but all that needs to be controlled completely, not under earth¡¯s governments. Max (Bound/Jacob) Everything is going well up here the girls have told me there is no issues with them as well. That is the most logical thing to do concerning SGMC and SGE both. With a base on the moon or in space we will be able to train and manufacture all that is needed and secure all technology and equipment without worry of losing any to individuals or a government. I think we will need a space port planet side to make cargo and personnel transfers a lot faster and more economical. Jacob Okay let''s start that we do have all the required material to start building a base with a training complex but do we have enough to set up a small industrial complex as well? I know we used a lot of mining bots to gather a lot of material but i do not know if it will be enough. If it is go ahead and start that so when we start getting personal we can get up and operational as soon as possible. Let the girls know the plan so if they want to add anything and we can afford to do so let''s do it. If you want anything added go ahead and add that as well. Max (Bound/Jacob) We do have enough material for both and a few small projects as well, but we will need to go back to the Oort Cloud for more resources after that. So we can have material to start producing military and consumer equipment. The construction process will take around 3 weeks maybe longer if we run into any problems with materials but we have to have around 6 weeks to train the training personnel and the leadership of SGMC. Jacob Okay let''s go ahead and get that going it will make all of this a lot smoother to get operational. Got to go, it looks like Dan is coming out to talk to me so just shoot me the updates on what is going on and how it is going please. Max (Bound/Jacob) Understood Jacob I will get started on the base and industrial complex on the moon. Using the construction bots and technology available without making more bots will take 3 weeks we can reduce that time from making a few more bots but it will not speed it up more than a few days. If they don¡¯t have any issues while construction is going on it may help get it back on schedule but they will be more useful to us in any future projects even in ship construction. Jacob Okay go ahead and make 6 more i got to go talk to you later. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website. Daniel "The Teacher" England Okay so it''s agreed that you will accept the offer and join him and this new Strikewing Galactic Enterprises. Krista and I will join Strikewing Galatic Mercanary Company. We will both be better after he helps us and I for one will stay loyal to him for that. An opportunity like this is a very rare thing and to betray that is not something i am willing to do you both understand that. (Ed Note: S.G.E and S.G.M.C not bad names) Krista England Okay dad, and I do understand that and I do agree that we should not betray him or the opportunity he is giving us and our family. I mean we will be in space, healthy, alien technology, traveling, fighting, and who knows what else. This is going to be so much fun! Hey do you think he will sleep with me? I bet he is awesome in bed! Daniel "The Teacher" England Krista! I am your father I do not want to hear about this or talk about this with you. Emily talk to your daughter please. Emily England Babe we both know what our daughter is like and she might really be thinking about this but she says it just to annoy you. Krista please do not annoy your father right now this is a big step for us. I for one do not know what I will be doing for this S.G.E. I think that was the acronym but still what will i be doing there? What is going to be available for me to do? I guess we will all figure this out as a family. Dan go ahead and tell Jacob we are interested. Daniel "The Teacher" England Okay i will go ahead and talk to him, I will be back in a bit. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jacob Hey Daniel how did the conversation go? I hope that you and your family did not fight about this. Daniel "The Teacher" England Jacob we have talked about it and we all are in agreement that we want to come and join you my wife, Emily will try and find a job with S.G.E. while me and my daughter join S.G.M.C. Is there any problems with this? Jacob No that sound like a plan to me when do you want to move up to the S.C. and start your medical treatment and your training? (Ed Noted: Not Sure If S.C. is a good word for it. Might want to leave it as a full name.) Daniel "The Teacher" England We can be packed and ready in 2 days we have been planing on moving for a while anyway. Jacob Okay let''s do this. Hey Max can you get everything ready for the England family to move to the S.C. for their medical treatment and training within the next 2 days? Max (Bound/Jacob) That will not be a problem Jacob I will make all the arrangements that is needed for them. Will you be heading to the conference soon? Jacob Yes I will head there right when I leave here. So I will talk to you soon thanks for all your help Max. Dan here is a email address that you can send a message to when you are ready don''t be alarmed if the shuttle is empty Max might be piloting it remotely. Daniel "The Teacher" England Okay thanks again Jacob. See you in a few days. Update Hey all, Sorry I havnt posted anything for a while. I have been a little blank on how i want to finish chapter 6. And life has gotten in the way of that. So sorry again. I will try finishing 6 in the next day or two after 6 is finished i will start on the side storry that is going to be mostly Adult content so if you dont want to read that stuff that dont read the side story okay. Any way thanks for reading and thanks for helping me out all.This book''s true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience. If you have any ideas on what you would like to see in the upcoming story let me know as well. Any more editors or proofreaders pm me okay. Thanks for reading and i hope you all enjoy the story so far and continue to do so. Chapter 6.4: Starting a Merc Company based in space. (Ed Note: Since a lot of this story is in conversation form I separate the sentences whenever a new person talks. Should make it a lot easier to read. I also check spelling and see if theirs any grammar I can touch up.) Jacob Hey Max I am on my way to the conference has all the others we invited shown up already? Oh and what do you think about the Englands? Max (Bound/Jacob) All guests have arrived. I think they will be a very helpful to the future of S.G.M.C. We have started construction on the base as well. Jacob Oh okay, well that is good. What kind of security measures do you have planed for it? Max (Bound/Jacob) I have slotted for a more advanced and capable defense network then the one we are planning on using for the defense network around Earth. It has the orbital and ground based systems as well as "Kurdans". Jacob What is that? Max (Bound/Jacob) A "Kurdan" is like your drones but very advanced very stealthy and heavily armed. Jacob Hmm okay and are you the one going to be operating them, or do you think we should make a Military grade A.I. for them as well as the defense of the base? Max (Bound/Jacob) I think it would be best for a dedicated A.I. for base defense instead of me trying to do that as well as everything you want, and the things I like to do. Jacob Okay no problem then let¡¯s do that. I am almost to the conference now so I will talk to you in a bit. Thanks for the update and information. ---------------------------------- -Narrative Jacob¡¯s head As I walked into the conference hall I look around most of the people we invited are disabled and brought their immediate family. Even if they decline my offer I will make sure they all get treatment, it is the least we can do for them. I wonder what they will think of the offer and me. Well I guess I should just get this started. -Jacob¡¯s Speech Hello and thank you all for joining me today. I can guess what most of you are thinking. He is so young how does he have an offer for us? Well just one minute while I secure this room from any and all surveillance and electronics I did not bring with me and we will have that conversation. (Ed Note: Starting to add ¡°¡± to speech now. It¡¯s to hard to read without it.) ¡°Now thank you for waiting. My name is Jacob Strikewing. I am the founder of Strikewing Galactic Mercenary Company. Yes galactic, I thought putting that in the name was reaching a bit too much but I was persuaded into going with it. Anyway I was taken by the aliens not long after they showed up and I am talking about the guys that saved our bacon. Well some shit happened and now I am in possession of a lot of tech and I want to start a Merc Company. I will tell you the whole story so you know what happened and what my plans are and why I asked you all here now. So that is what is going on and what my plans are. Any of you that are interested to join me awesome if not ok, but as a thank you all of you will be offered free medical treatment. There is one person I would like to have a personal chat with Colonel McCune can I have a minute please.¡± (Ed Note: When addressing military you go Rank then Last Name. You don¡¯t use first.) -Matthias McCune If this kid is being truthful then he has a good foundation ready. I can see why he went for disabled vets as well. Smart of him. I guess I should have that talk with him. ¡°What can I do for you Jacob?¡± Jacob ¡°Thanks for making the time Colonel. If you are interested in what I am starting I would like you to be the base commander not just for the training but the entire military base on the moon. We will be hiring someone with experience for the civilian portion but the majority is going to be the military. You will have to take the rank of Major General and you will be able to recruit your staff as well. The only requirements on that is they must pass our screening.¡± This content has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. Matthias McCune ¡°Why do you want me for this?¡± Jacob ¡°Well you have the most experience and the right attitude for what i am planning. You can accept new idea and methods and you are pro tech most O-6 or above are not as flexible. We need that flexibility for our future. You have some experience with SF as well. Do you know former CPO Daniel "The Teacher" England?¡± Matthias McCune ¡°Okay, I can see what you are getting at. Yes I knew the Chief what about him?¡± Jacob ¡°He will be NCOIC of all training on the base.¡± Matthias McCune ¡°You got The Teacher to join you already! How the fuck did you get that?¡± Jacob ¡°I talked to him told him everything and said even if he declines he and his family will get free medical treatment. After that he was in he talked to his wife and daughter they were in. His wife will find a job with S.G.E. while him and his daughter will be S.G.M.C. I hope you don''t have a problem with females with combat jobs because I do not and with this tech it will be no problem. Dan''s only request for letting her join was he gets to train her to be a member of our SF I agreed.¡± Matthias McCune ¡°No shit, I''ll be damned! He is the most qualified seal instructor, so he will be an asset I would love to work with. Any others you want me to know about?¡± Jacob ¡°Not at this time I do have my eye on a few SF trainers one from the Marine Corps, One from the Air Force, Three from the Army, and Two Australian SAS as well.¡± Matthias McCune ¡°Well that will be interesting, are they only going to be training the SF or more then that?¡± Jacob ¡°I want them to be the core of all our training there will be a more advanced portion of training for our SF but the majority of all training no matter what their jobs are going to be I want to have a solid foundation. They need to know how to survive and that''s what we are going to train them on. I will also be going through all training including the SF portion so I am qualified in joining missions I don''t want to be sitting on my ass twiddling my thumbs when I can go kick some ass.¡± Matthias McCune ¡°What if I would like to go on missions as well?¡± Jacob ¡°I have no problems with you being active just make sure you have a damn good and don''t get your ass shot off. Then we won''t have any problems sound good General?¡± Matthias McCune ¡°General huh? I think I like the sound of that. What do you take me for, someone who can''t keep his ass out of the air? Ha, no worries with that! I am in sir!¡± Jacob ¡°Welcome aboard Major General McCune. It is going to be a crazy ride. I mean a very fun and enjoyable ride.¡± *Smirk* Matthias McCune (Ed: He''s a Major General now¡­ skipped a bunch of ranks there .) ¡°Oh, what the hell am I getting into?¡± *Laughing* Jacob ¡°Well General I guess this show is now your¡¯s. Here take this I know it just looks like a regular cell but its not. We designed it to look like that to not stand out. Max will be in contact with you. If you need anything don''t be afraid to get ahold of him. okay.¡± (Ed Note: Good job staying secretive. Got a military instructor, a ton of retired vets, a bunch of new technology¡­ I really don¡¯t know why you aren¡¯t being raided with jets already¡­ Huh it¡¯s a story though so I will let it pass. ) Matthias McCune ¡°Not a problem. I will handle this mini circus and be in touch with all the details.¡± Jacob ¡°Okay thanks, Talk to you later.¡± (Final Ed Note: Trickiest your getting way better at this? You been learn
