Report 025 Nightmares May Come True
I woke up in a cold sweat, it was the worst nightmare I have ever had. Colonel Zander sent down here to kill me; then it hit me, my god the General Orders. I did not check them after we crashed. I quickly got up, dressed and went over to the case containing all the standing orders generated by the Alpha Centauri Headquarters Science Exploration.
I searched through the binders and in the back of the binder containing General Orders 1 through 10 I found a small envelope labeled "To Be Opened in case of Crash by the Ground Commander only."
Sunsearey was in charge of this part of the mission. Anything to do with ground operations was under her command. I was just a flight jockey, but in truth, if for any reason we were to land she would be in charge. She had mentioned a general order concerning any Earth landing, but in the confusion of the crash and the death of Sunsearey I had forgotten all about it.
I quickly opened the envelope and it read: "If you have been forced to land on Earth, you will open the door to the panel behind this bookcase containing a keypad and type 0765. I went to the small panel opened it, found the key pad and typed "0765. As soon as I did the top shelf of the bookcase swung out revealing a second envelope titled "To be opened by the Ground Commander Only."
Since I was the only one alive I assumed the role of Ground Commander and began to read: "If for any reason your Space Ship is forced to land on the planet called Earth you are to set the solar panels and run camouflaged program. Once this is done, you are to send a message to Headquarters stating your situation. At no time, repeat no time are you to have contact with the Earthlings. If for some reason, however, contact cannot be avoided; then those Earthlings contacted are to be eliminated and the ship destroyed. You must ensure that you are destroyed along with the ship. This destruction is to be accomplished in such away to leave no indication of your existence."
"Darling," a voice called.
I looked over and saw Morgana lying on the bed dressed in a skimpy halter and very short shorts.
"Darling," she repeated, "let's fix something to eat I'm starved." Then she got up.
I put the letter down got up walked over to her and said, "I or we have a problem."
"Honey we don't have a problem. I have told you that I belong to you and together we can solve any problem you or we may have."
I grabbed a pair of handcuffs that I had used earlier, handcuffed her hands behind her and quickly blindfolded her. "There are things that you have no clue on. That I have to do."
"Master and I call you that because you are my Master and I will do whatever you wish."
I was so mad over the dream the standing orders I had just read that I struck out at her and hit her as hard as I could. My blow knocked her off her feet and she fell to the floor.
She lay their crying softly. "What have I done to displease you Master?"
She struggled to her knees. When she did I saw that somehow I had ripped her off her halter and she was naked from the waste up. She stayed on her knees resting her head against my groin. She whispered, "Master please, I don't know what I have done to offend you. Please tell me." She slowly staggered to her feet. "Please Master, what do you want of me to do?"
I just stared at her for a few moments realizing that I had only myself to blame. She was not the cause of this mess I created. I removed the blindfold, handcuffs and helped he put her halter back on.
"Look," I said, "I just realized that I am supposed to kill any Earthling that I come in contact with and destroy the ship with me inside."
