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

gyms and pools onboard, not to mention shops and entertainment centers.  The yacht had been built for a rich industrialist named Galetils, who apparently committed suicide when his industrial complex and his home planet were destroyed by a giant solar flare.  At the time of his death, the yacht was still under construction at the shipyard located on the moon of the planet Nibaria.  After my accidental journey from Earth brought me to the Federation territories, I was able to purchase Galetils’ nearly completed yacht and his estate on Megelleon near the capital city using the vast wealth I had been given as reward for finding and returning the TRITYTE and its solbidyum cargo.
    Before we left the estate , I contacted Piesew on the NEW ORLEANS and advised him that we would require a meal to be served in my personal dining room.  There we met with Captain Stonbersa and Kerabac to briefly discuss everything of importance that had taken place in the past few days.  Captain Stonbersa was informed that Cantolla was now a permanent staff member and that she would require accommodations and space for a laboratory.  Neither of these were a problem, because this enormous ship was filled with available accommodations and workspaces.  It wasn’t exactly clear what Galetils’ intentions were when he had the yacht built; but from the number of luxury guest accommodations, dining rooms, ball rooms and associated support facilities included in the design, he clearly intended to do some very high-class entertaining.  In addition to these areas were numerous offices and conference rooms, as well as smaller, but still luxurious, personal quarters for crew and staff.
    Perhaps the most amazing aspect s of the ship were its armaments, as the yacht was fully armed with the latest defense technologies and weapons, like a military warship.  It was also equipped with the only functioning RMFF system, which also supported a cloaking device, as we learned somewhat by accident.
    These last two items were not functioning when I acquired the NEW ORLEANS , as the amount of energy required to power the RMFF was greater than the capacity of the fusion reactor that powered the yacht.  It was the solbidyum reactor of the TRITYTE that offered the answer to rendering the RMFF system functional.  Lunnie had managed to construct a small working reactor for the NEW ORLEANS in a hidden location and disguised it to look like a common pump, so the actual source of power for the RMFF system would remain a mystery.  Only a few of my closest and trusted associated knew of its existence.
    It was while we were attempting to resolve a communication system problem associated with the RMFF that Kerabac accidently discovered how to also utilize the field to support a cloaking system.  Other secrets of the RMFF system had been discovered as well, but these were not yet fully understood.  Among these were the amplification of energy and speed of weapon fire directed out and away from the ship from inside the boundaries of the RMFF.
    We were just finishing our meal when word came from the bridge for Captain Stonbersa that the shuttle carrying Admiral Regeny was departing the planet and that he would be docking in about 30 minutes.
    “Please excuse me,” said Stonbersa as he rose from the table.  “I must see to the arrival of the admiral and his staff.”
    “Certainly, Captain.  Kala and I will meet you in the hangar bay shortly.”  I looked at Kala and said, “Please tell me that I don’t have to put on my vice admiral uniform.”
    Kala laughed, “I’m afraid you do, Tibby… protocol, you know.  It’s the price you pay for your fame and fortune.”
    I growled as I got up from the table and excused myself from the gathering.  Since Kala was still active military, she wore her military uniform most of the time.  However, since she was permanently assigned as my attaché, there were some occasional liberties from this requirement.  Today was not one
