Click hereI think I owe you an explanation.
I took a ship from Olympus to Earth to get some badly needed supplies. When on Earth I took delivery of certain hardware requested by your government. I returned to Olympus without delay. Your brother accompanied me on this trip.
Let me stress, my objectives are the same as yours. Your brother and I are doing our utmost to give you what you so desperately need.
There was no way I would risk to be anywhere near Federation control with the cargo I was carrying. Olaf and my specialists are currently assembling what you asked for.
I know what I have to do and I will do it my way. I will not tolerate any roadblocks put into my way by the likes of Darrin Weaver. I will deliver what I have promised. We have come a long way towards it. I think you are aware of this. Let us continue the way we are going for the benefit of Okton 4 and the Chang Corporation.
I have appended Mr. Weaver's letter so you know what is going on.
Frank Walters
Colonel, Olympus Colonisation Command.
PS. You can tell Mr Weaver that he has my solemn oath that I will put a bullet into his fucking brain if he ever crosses my path again.
I sent the letter off with a copy to the Tai-pan.
Hours later a message arrived:
I'm proud of you, Nephew.
Uncle.
Sometime later, another message:
Greetings Frank,
Thanks for telling me what is going on. Darrin Weaver will be enjoying a two year sabbatical in the mines. I've had enough of him. Maybe that will take his arrogance back a notch or two. My brother seems to trust you or he wouldn't have given you my real name. Look after him, he is very dear to me.
Niels.
Feng was in stitches when I showed him the letters.
"Put a bullet into his fucking brain? The old coot would have loved it. You've made his day."
"So, what's our next move?"
"A beer or two?"
It was a reasonable idea.

TDarktowerover 7 years agoThere is nothing quite as funny as having an arrogant asshat put firmly, and without question, in their place. Your bullet in the brain comment left me in stitches, and I literally couldn't stop laughing for two minutes. Well done!
Anonymousover 8 years agoSomeone complained a few chapters ago about the 'repetitive food and beer/drink' being an impediment to the story. (@ a beer or two: I know YOU aren't complaining)
What everyone needs to remember is Talemaster has adopted Australia. If you've never known an Aussie, I'm here to tell you, Talemaster would never survive, or have chosen, Australia if he didn't like his beer, plus Frank IS Talemaster's futuristic, dream alter-ego, after all.
Besides, on a more practical note, beer is a known safe liquid with a high water content, low alcohol content and some grains/veggies thrown in; if water is short, or of questionable quality, beer is THE option.
Additionally, alcohol is the only substance besides fat, protein or carbs the body can directly metabolize as a food source. So, it's nutritious as well as being a viable water substitute. Which is also why being a drunk can make you fat; alcohol has about 75% of the caloric density of fat. (Fat = 9 cal/gram, alcohol = 7 cal/gram, protein & carbs = ~5 cal/gram)

Besides, if we're going to read Sci-Fiction, wouldn't you rather the hero was able to drink all day, fuck all night and still hoodwink the military, outsmart ruthless alien overlords and rescue time-traveling, psychic, angelic avians, (and sex-prived human cousins from a life of servitude/annihilation? {{cue the cackling laugh sound track}}
Enjoy... I CERTAINLY am...

Sci -fi with a smile.
katgoddess1over 11 years agoI always get a laugh or two from your postings. My only complaint is that there isn't more of it.
