They approached the unit they were to be stationed with. Jay saluted the commander
“Who are you he demanded and how the hell did you get a spot on our unit on one of the biggest days of Ziion’s History” The commander demanded intimidatingly.
“Captain Jay of the guard, I have in my in my protection Princess Rota of Ziion and Mia, who is also a high valued asset, who’s true identity is classified. Sir” He bit back
The commander was taken back a bit shocked.
“Your x-military, and you have the princess?” all the demand had left his voice
“Yes Sir, it was the only way to get her father’s funeral safely. We believe someone is still trying to assonate her.”
“It came close at her motorcade incident, didn’t it?” the commander said thinking
Jay just smiled “May I have a word with the unit regarding the Princess and Mia’s safety?”
“
Mia stood alone with her thoughts, the coffin was about 5 meters from her. Although he wasn’t just a king, he was also her father. A father she had always longed for but never known. She wasn’t really upset at that, living on a planet where no one else had a father made it easier to cope with. If she could, would she wanted to grow up with a king as her father. She might be a totally different person, She supposed she did, but that wasn’t what happened and she was at peace with it. Besides she had Jay and Rota and the family on the ship. She cast a thought to Rota, this day would be so different for her.Mia’s eyes were drawn up to the massive high ceilings and on to the front wall of the building. It had huge pieces of textured stone, in oranges, red and black hues. It was beautiful and reminded her of the landscape of Planet S610. Mia thought to herself you could almost hide in some of the deep crevasses, it was so big. It made the space look n
The solider ushered Rota from the building straight into the waiting truck. When Mia and Jay got in Rota had collapsed into the soldiers’ arms. Mia let her be. When they got back to the Military Base Jay asked the solider to take Rota back to the ship and ask for Shimel and Lacy, he left straight away, carefully supporting Rota. Jay took a moment to thank the unit and commander. There was a bit of laughter and everyone congratulated Mia her shot. “Just remember, Mia and me and Princess Rota weren’t there for now. I don’t care who takes credit for the shot but we weren’t there.” Jay said sternly. They all agreed.As they headed back to the ship, they crossed paths with the solider who had taken Rota back.“Is she ok?” Mia asked“I think so, he said”“Thank you for comforting her like that”“That’s ok, it was the least I could do, after all it was her father.” H
Day 14The four Governors and Jay’s superior were welcomed onto “Mistress” and into the dining room. They were all served with a hot drink and a small array of food lined the table. Once everyone had been settled Rota started the meeting.“Thank you for meeting us here today, I am aware it is not where we normally meet and I am grateful that you could come to us. Thank you for the parts you played in organising my father’s funeral. It was truly beautiful.“You were there?” asked one of the Governors puzzled “I thought the Veiled princess was a decoy”“She was but I was also there”“How?” he said sceptically.“Never underestimate Captain Jays ability’s” was Rota only comment.“Who was the Solider who shot the guy in the middle of the service, how unthoughtful” asked another GovernorRota was
“Everything looks in order, he passed the documents on. I formally Move that Mia be recognised as a Princess of Ziion”The rest of the governors then inspected all the documentation and one by one confirmed the motion.The Governor who put the motion forth spoke up “Congratulations, Princess Mia we confirm your status as Princess Rota’s twin sister and the daughter of the recently passed King Levis.” He bowed his head in respect. He then took a deep breath and continued“Now we come to the matter of who will take the crown, and become the Queen of Ziion. Obviously Princess Mia being married to Captain Jay doesn’t discredit her from the crown because of his Pure Ziion Blood. Also Princess Mia being the oldest are we to assume you will take the position? Can you satisfy the Oath to the Ziion people?”“She can” said Rota “Princess Mia cares deeply for everyone in her sphere. She will always ca
The rest of them moved to the cockpit.“Captain Jay?” his superior asked “you do have a plan, don’t you?”Yes we are planning a d-day to flush out the enemy and take them out once and for all. I believe the palace guard is compromised so I will leak a location to you and then we will wait for them to show to eliminate both the princesses.”“Well you seem to know what you’re doing, how did you get Rota to the funeral?” The superior asked curious.“What you didn’t see us there,”“No, Should I have”“Well we were up the front, We even stopped the service so Mia could shoot a would be assassin”The Superior’s face was shocked “That was you?” He laughed “Princess Mia shot him,” He shook his head in amazement. “that’s the first thing that makes sense all day, you found a woman that could shoot and you mar
“Benny can you run a bug sweep, I want to know if our visitors were clean” Jay asked“on it” said benny and he pulled his comm from the pocked and started in the cockpit, it was clean. He headed to the dining room.Jay walked over to Mia and gave her a huge hug, “Looks like I might survive being with you after all”“You can thank me tonight,” she said back in a whisper.“I Promise to be impressive” Jay whispered, Mia flushed“Hey you too, your in a room full of people, keep it PG” Bunny exclaimedBut Jay took no noticed and kissed Mia anyway.Benny came back in “Hey Jay, we got a bug in the dining room”“Great, was it my superior or the Governors?” Jay asked“It was under the table, where one of the Governors were sitting. I’m leaning to the Governors but your superior would know to plant a bug away f
20mins later there was Jay, Mia, Rota, Ryder, Bunny and Kat in the Dining room with a plate of food.Kat started the conversation “So Captain Jay, what will we do this afternoon?”“We need to head off from here, we don’t want to overstay our welcome. I have a maintenance shed at Port Moss. We can land there for a day or two”“Captain Jay I have been meaning to ask, the ship needs a system update that will take 8 hours. Most of the system will be down during that time only auxiliary power will be available. Can we do that overnight, I want to get it completed before another threat comes our way.”“Yeah that should be fine, I purchased the shed through an alias, no one will know I own it or will be able to track us to it.”“Well, if the ship is out of action all night, we might as well hit the town” Bunny said excitedly “oh it has been a while, “Captain Jay can we?” s
Once they were all aboard, “Mistress” departed. It took them 20 minutes to get to Port Moss.Jay had asked Alex if he could get Jackson in a position to accept the mission and a team under him with some resources. Alex didn’t think it would be too hard but might take a day or so. The team also put up all their information onto Jacksons separate Network. By the time they were landing, Jackson had started asking questions. The team also noted that some of the gps trackers weren’t being moved to “clients” but were being kept in the four biggest “houses” “Do you think that’s because they are coming after us instead” Mia asked“Maybe” Jay said with a tense expression “If we assume each girl has a guard and girls are being kept in so their guards can come after us. How many guards should we expect?”“There are about twenty eight girls being kept in, but I assu
