ROY FOWLER
HADES BRIDGE
PHOBOS OUTPOST HADES
ChaRaT
Three men sit before you, two of them in blue hazmat gear, similar helmets, the one in the middle has an old world monitor on his head.  The being speaks, his monitor flicking to holy images of the chapel, including holy symbols and characters from the holy texts. "So, so, you come from the-Chapel of-The dark one. Tell me, me? Why you come here?" The television man speaks erratically, constantly switching voices and tones. "Do you think you can win a-WAR, HUH-That you cannot win?" |

Taken aback by this strange occurrence, this psychedelic amalgamation of man and machine, I stammer out: "W-we-we m-must win or d-die. There are n-no two ways about it." I cover my eyes, as the constant flickering is making me nauseous. "N-not only us, the warriors, b-but also the family units." I continue, able to concentrate better with my eyes closed, with greater fluency: "This by itself is a p-powerful motivating force, but with the True Nous of the Universe on our side, we will win. Darwinian permitting, of course." I yank at my collar, I am sweating.

 "Your fear-THE FEAR!-It confuses me. Why must you be afraid of me? I am nothing to fear. "You come to us-STATION PHOBOS-For something, what is it you seek? Ships-Firearms!-Money?" The monitor's display turns to a constantly rotating hour glass. |

Harold drums his fingers.
Out in space.
No directions.
No instructions.
Just him, a friend, and a ship.
There's something Harold had always wanted to see.
He pitches the ship and marks his waypoint on Earth.

"I-I am b-both afraid and awed. It was always taught to me that the machine-men had all been subsumed into the Dark One's mind and body. Seeing one still active... my less-educated cousins would say that I have come face-to-face with a demon, ha ha." The laugh is strained and nervous. "B-but to answer your second question, we will gladly accept any aid you can give us: technicians, ships, and weapons are a high priority." I lick my lips, anxiously.

I stick the card in my pocket, walk to the smoking room (if they have one), and light up a cigarette to calm my nerves. Then I'll tune my radio to the news and listen a bit.

Pfft. Like relations could get any worse than "all-out war". I take a long drag on the cigarette. Maybe it's time to see where this keycard can take me.
