SWEET HOME ALLE BAMMA (SOLBIDYUM WARS SAGA) Read Online Free Page A

on to talk about the awards she had won in school while participating in projects as a member of various research teams.  She also told us of the death of her mother .  Her father was injured during an accidental exposure to radiation; and the resulting damage his brain left him in a vegetative state until he eventually died from other complications.
    We remained on the patio until the chill of the evening became uncomfortable, and then we said our goodnights.
    As Kala and I walked arm in arm back to our suite, she said to me, “Well, it looks like you were right.  So tell me what’s going to happen next?”
    “We’ll be getting a visit from Admiral Regeny, I suspect – most likely tomorrow.”
    “Oh, and what makes you think so?” Kala asked.
    “Because we still have the solbidyum on the NEW ORLEANS , for one thing.  Beyond that, there is most certainly a leak in the Federation Office of Investigation; and if he and the rest of the High Command can’t trust the FOI, they have no reliable way to identify Brotherhood infiltrators that are known to still be present throughout the Federation military.  Also, since the main headquarters and offices were destroyed in the attempt to kill the High Command, their operations are momentarily displaced.  The admiral is going to want our help.  I have no doubt.”
    Kala looked at me and laughed.  “Are you sure you didn’t come here from the future?  You seem to know an awful lot about things that are going to happen.”
    The next morning we were awakened by a message from Kala’s assistant, who told us that Admiral Regeny was requesting to meet with me on the NEW ORLEANS later in the day.
    I wasn’t surprised that the admiral asked specifically to meet on the NEW ORLEANS .  It was without a doubt the safest and most secure location in the galaxy, if not the entire universe.  First, my crew had been thoroughly tested and every one of them was known to be completely loyal to the Federation, unadulterated by the Brotherhood or any other subversive group.  The recent coup attempt on the capital planet of Megelleon revealed that the BROTHERHOOD OF LIGHT had been operating quietly within nearly every level of Federation military authority for an unknown period of time – at least for decades.  During the assault on Federation High Command headquarters, the rebels also took control of the space frigate TASSAGORA and the star ship DUSTEN , along with several hundred patrol ships.  Fortunately, the High Command had already left the premises at my suggestion and were all harbored safely with me on the NEW ORLEANS at the time of the revolt.  Since then, the DUSTEN had been recovered and the remaining stolen ships of the rebel fleet destroyed.  The Brotherhood had been defeated, but certainly not eliminated.
    The second reason the admiral wanted to meet there was that the NEW ORLEANS was the only ship in the galaxy equipped with a working Reverse Magnetic Force Field (RMFF) as well as a unique cloaking device.  The RMFF made the ship safe from attack and the cloaking made it impossible to locate.  There were too many opportunities for someone to spy on a classified meeting held anywhere on the planet – or on any other ship, for that matter.  The admiral couldn’t take the risk of speaking in any environment that potentially allowed Brotherhood operatives to infiltrate or bug the meeting.  Only on the NEW ORLEANS could meetings take place without the fear of information leaks or threats of attack.
    It was shortly before noon when Cantolla, Lieutenant Marranalis (my security chief), Lieutenant Commander Kalana and I took the shuttle from our estate to the orbiting NEW ORLEANS .  The early departure allowed us a bit of time to get settled in and eat before the admiral and his staff were scheduled to arrive.
    The NEW ORLEANS was a huge space yacht, large enough to house over 1,000 people in luxury accommodations.  There were multiple dining halls, meeting rooms,
