Sarha, I need a meeting so I can take stock of everything that's going on. See if everybody can be ready in an hour." Tim's headed for deck two and the meeting room. On the way out of the lift. He noticed David and Wendy walking.
"Hello, Kids. Is everything alright with you?"
Both were smiling and were happy to see Tim. Wendy ran over and hugged him. "We are on our way to school," David said with an ear-to-ear grin.
"Well, I have a couple of minutes. Is it all right if I walk with you? Tim stepped in between the two children and held hands with them. They told him about their time at school and how much fun they were having.
Approaching the school, an older child came in behind Wendy and pulled her hair. Wendy's screamed. The kid started running, a teacher saw what was going on and grabbed him.
She walked the child back to Tim and the kids. "I am sorry, sir. I saw what this child did to your daughter."
Wendy looked up to Tim. "Are you, my Daddy?"
The teacher now gave Tim a questionable look.
Before anything else was said. "No, he's our friend and the Captain of this ship," David said in a madder of fact way.
Wendy turned to look at David, "Why can't Tim be my daddy?"
"Wendy, you will have to ask mom about that." David looked up at Tim and then at Wendy.
"Sorry, Captain. I had no idea. What do you want us to do to this boy?"
"I am not sure. We could put him into the airlock and open it up. Or we just opened a new planet for the bad guys. We could put him there. Tim tried to maintain a serious face. The teacher did everything in her power not to laugh.
The look on the kid's face, "I am sorry, sir. I promise I won't do it again."
"Well, if it is OK with Wendy. We will let it go this time, but if it happens again, you will go to the bad boy's planet."
"It's OK. But can I watch him go to the bad boy's planet?" She looked up at Tim and had a serious look.
"Sir, if you don't mind, I'll deal with it." The teacher turned with the boy in tow headed to the main doors.
"You two have a good day in school and be careful." Tim waved goodbye to them and headed to the meeting room.

Tabitha and Tammy returned the following day and told Tim what had taken place. King Elbert also will send thirty people into the settlement.
Tim wanted the two of them to see Madlyn just to make sure everything was OK.
Tabatha and Tammy grudgingly left to visit Madlyn. Madlyn gave them an excellent medical grade and sent them on the road.
Before they were able to leave, a young woman came in laughing. Madlyn asked, "what so funny?"
"I just heard from a teacher 'that Wendy is Tim's daughter."
Tabitha and Tammy both stopped dead in their tracks. Both had a shocked look. "Could you please repeat that?" asked Tammy.
"Yes, Tim accompanied the two children to school. When she said to Tim about being the father. Wendy looked at Tim, and you are my father."
Madlyn looked at Tabitha and started to laugh. "Boy, is Tim going to have fun with this one?"
"Wait until I see Deniece." Said Tabitha.
They all three looked at the young lady, "For your information, Tim rescued those two children from the Red Ants along with their mother. The kids think the world of Tim. It needs to end. now."
The young woman stopped laughing. "I'm sorry, I didn't know."
"Someone will make fun of Wendy, thinking that Tim is her father. And then she'll start crying, and Tim will learn about it. Then the entire ship will pay for that." Said Tabitha.
The young woman now looked in shock. "Tim would never hurt this entire ship. Would he?"
Madlyn shrugged her shoulders and walked away. Tabitha and Tammy both looked at her, "I guess we'll find out?" as they exited.
"Where do you want to go?" asked Tammy.
"How about the beach?"

Howie and Edie-bit were prepared for the new guests arriving in pairs. A path between their shuttle and the settlement was set up. As they appeared, Howie instructed them to pick up their survival kits and follow the path to their home. He showed them where the pathway started.
The first two left the MTS machine and proceeded down the path. Both looked at the environment with the expectation that they would survive. There was a large building in front of them. They checked the pathway, hoping not to see soldiers.
They made their way slowly. Upon their arrival at the building, the front door was wide open. When they got inside, the women from the ship greeted them. The men just stood there, unable to say a thing.
The two women who wanted to be with them rushed in and embraced them. Pulling them away from the doorway and dragged them to their new homes. Now each woman waited for her man to come creeping in. She would take him to their home. The party would start later, but for now, they needed time alone.
The last of the group from Tabitha's planet finally came through. After a while, the mayor-elect called everyone into the middle of the barn.
"Most of you know me. I've been requested to be mayor. I just want you to know that this is happening. Women have overseen this planet since yesterday, and it's not going to change. If you have other ideas, pick up your kit and head straight out the gate."
She looked around and saw no male make a move. "Tim has placed rules on the mainboard; please follow them; those are the rules this world will be going by. Again, if you what to change any, the front gate will be open to let you out."
"Now, each person has a three-day supply of food and water. By that time, we will have a work schedule made out. Please remember that if you don't work, you don't eat."
"So, for everyone to understand, this is the prison world. Tomorrow, we will receive more people from different planets. Tim said there will be more when necessary."

Tim walked into the room and realized that most of the people he wanted were there. They were waiting for Tabitha and Tammy. He walked over and took his seat.
When everyone was seated and ready to go, Tim said, "We'll start on my right and go around the table for your reports.
The reports were going well. Tawni got up to give her part.
"Tim, we've improved the shields on our ship twice. The original shields were a strong audible signal. We modified the audible signal in two tones. Each motion is in opposite directions and with a different step. Now we have added micro-nano-bots two-layer, each layer going in the opposite direction of each other. Our shields should now be able to withstand six times the amount of hits as before."
"That sounds great. Can those kinds of shields be added to the shuttle and fighters?"
