Part 1 of 4
Once the execution was complete, Tim and the girls returned to the ship. They had a lot to plan; first, the women were to go to the planet and set up housekeeping. There had to be bots to help move all their items.
Second, Tim had to meet with the Commanders and deal with the number of soldiers to manage the MTS projects.
Then to transport all the prisoners and their families from Tabitha's world. Also, those from King Elbert's world. At present, he has no idea how many.
Then the ship's business. All this would take up most of the day.

Tim arrived on deck four. He was supposed to meet the women from the other ship to brief them, and he had Sarha use the meeting room on this deck rather than deck two or three. This way, they would not see the others.
Tim walked onto the moving walkway that would take him to the far end of the deck. As he approached, he saw a group of women, and they saw him approach and returned to the meeting room.
Tim entered the room and saw Tabitha and Tammy standing near the front. He approached them, and they smiled at him and signaled for the women to be seated. After a moment, the room went quiet.
"Ladies, My name is Tim Bodge. Some of you know me; I am the ship's Captain." Tim stood behind the podium and looked out over all the women.
"We are here to provide you with information on where you will live. And ask once more, is that really what you want?"
"I'm going to tell you what you're getting into with your eyes open. To begin with, we discovered yesterday that there is another species, and these are birdmen and women."
"We made friends with them. They will assist us when and if they can."
"Now, for you. We have set up a Welcoming Hall or building, and it can hold up to two hundred people and six months of supplies. There are two replicators and two food dispensers, and the building itself will maintain the same conditions year after year."
"Electronics protect the area around your settlement. It is in the form of a fence, which can be enlarged to meet your future growth."
"You will have equipment and seeds for farming and building new buildings. With a new fertilizer, the crops will mature in ninety days. The only thing that replicators will not produce is weapons."
"You will have others coming to this world. I would rather have the pirates and other criminals here than kill them."
"So that you know there is an MTS gateway for others to come to your world. It will allow people to travel to your world and not allow anything to return. There are protection bots and electronics fencing around this site, and anyone trying to get into it will be killed."
"Ladies, you will be leaving here in about an hour. Bots will take any items that you have marked to go."
"Please remember that anyone that follows you is a criminal and that you need to be very careful."
"Now, for the last time, is there anyone who wishes to change their minds. Please see Tabitha or Tammy before leaving this area. Thank you for all your help."
One female from the rear. "May I ask a question?"
"Please do," Tim replied.
"What about medical?"
"If there is a medical emergency. We have placed a signal switch next to the front doorway, and someone will answer."
"So, there is a way to return if needed."
"Yes and No. Yes, there is a way. No, none of you will be allowed to return."
"Now, you will return to the other ship. The MTS gateway from your ship will be opened for you to go to your new homes in an hour.
The women got up and talked among themselves as they left the room. No one stayed to talk to Tabitha.
"Tabitha, I want each of those women to have a survival kit. A knife, hatchet, three days of food and water, and a change of clothing."
"I'll have the supply people on deck two get right to work on it," Tabitha said with a surprised look.
"Tomorrow, the men will be given the same kit. Then each individual who goes there will have one as well."
Tim left the meeting room and headed for the bridge. But first, he wanted to see David and Wendy.
"Sarha, could you have the Commanders meet me in the lounge in an hour? I am going to stop in and see David and Wendy."
"Tim, I'll let the commanders know you want to meet with them," Sarha replied.
Tim exited the lift and moved to David and Wendy's place. He knocked on the door and waited, and it opened, and Deniece had answered. "Tim, it's nice to see you. Why don't you come in."
Deniece moved aside as Tim walked in, "Where are the kids?" Tim inquired and looked around, hoping to see them.
"They started school two days ago. They spend three hours there, giving me time to relax."
"Oh, I didn't know, sorry." Tim started back to the door.
