After a lot of deliberations, the locations suggested by the USA were rejected, because there would be the same issues regarding US visa’s, which has been a major issue in the past few years, so this left the locations on Bermuda. The British government has already guaranteed that all staff visiting the UN would be granted a visa, so now it was just a matter of which site. With the issue of safety and security for all that work at the United Nations, and with the new design, provid

A few days later, Lucas received a message from the Capital, to inform him that he is being summoned to Ganymede to meet with the High Council, and so he packed a bag, and the shuttle was ready and waiting for him when he stepped on board and they set off for Jupiter, three days of travelling away. When Lucas stepped out of the shuttle, once it had arrived at Ganymede, Quinn was there to greet him. “My Lord, it is good to see you again, do you have any idea what this summons is about?” Lucas

Later that afternoon, the Air Commodore received a message from its Embassy in New York. “US has given a written guarantee that it will not interfere with Canadian Airforce base on Durham Island, in the North Atlantic, and will remain out of the exclusion zone. Please ensure that the US aircraft and its crew are safely returned to their home country”. Fifteen minutes later, with the US fighter jet fully fuelled, the two US pilots were escorted to their aircraft, minus their sidearms, whic

“This is Ambassador Lucas Durham, of the United Republic of Planets, as you will see on your radar, my space shuttle is heading straight for you, and unless you want to cause a diplomatic incident, I suggest you break away and return from where you came from… Group Leader return to your station, I will deal with these idiots, over” Lucas said sternly. As the two Canadian aircraft turned to return back to base, the USAF aircraft continued to come straight at the shuttle, and Lucas was gett

“My goodness, you do get around, and just to think that only a few years ago, we were still talking about establishing our first Lunar base on the Moon in ten or so years’ time,” the Commodore said, and Lucas chuckled at this comment. “How long is the runway please Ambassador?” the Air Commodore asked, “It is 5,260 metres, Sir. With a taxiway and parking apron, near the maintenance bunker, which is the nearest bunker to the Air Traffic Control Tower” Lucas replied. “Well, that is a

“Sir, you are correct in assuming that Canada is the closest mainland, with a distance of 1204 kilometres to Halifax, Canada, and it is 1542 kilometres to the Flores Island, Portugal and 1680 kilometres to New York” one of the pilots called out. “Has the United Nations received our message yet, and do we have any signal beacons onboard?” Lucas replied. “The message is being delivered as we speak, and yes we have 6 beacons onboard” the pilot replied. “Good, I want one placed at the

“Good afternoon Ambassador, we believe it is you that we have to thank for these magnificent new facilities that we have here, we are very grateful for them, as it makes life a lot easier for us all, especially with the security systems, which I believe originate off-planet” the New Zealand Ambassador stated, as the greeted me. “Good afternoon gentlemen, I am glad that you are happy with the facilities, and for this unexpected high-level greeting, shall we adjourn indoors, so we can chat

Lucas was very pleased with the plans, and he forwarded the copy that has the purpose of each room, not included in the plans, sent to the New Zealand Embassy in New York, so they could forward them to the City of New York, with the property named as the “Commonwealth Embassy Compound”. A few hours after sending the plans, Lucas received an email from the New Zealand Embassy in New York. “Very impressed with the plans that you sent to us, and I have sent copies to the other three e

“Well I think that is just being greedy, not letting us have the technology that you have” one council member shouted, “Ma’am, it is angry outbursts like that, which demonstrates our views that no one on Earth can be trusted with such advanced technology, we the Sahndrol people live in peace and harmony, as we have for centuries and many generations past, and we do not want to see Earth and it’s people destroyed by greed. I thank you for your time today, good day to you” Lucas said, and h

Four hours ago, a second attack was made, and this time the shuttles were able to land on the planet and using small arms weapons, they managed to deactivate 6 of the 8 cannons that protect the academy, so it will be their third go that will get the NASC into the Lunar Base for sure. They have also sent a distress signal to us, requesting urgent assistance. All I have done is acknowledge that we have received there and that I am awaiting orders from the Capital” Lucas reported. “I see, wel
