Operation Butterfly Collection : A science fiction tale

"The stars are out tonight boy and they aint looking good for you," A man in an Army Brigadier General's uniform spoke to the man he dragged out of the car..

"Brigadier General.. Listen Alex is," The Lance Corporal freezes when he sees a four star Air force officer.. "F#$%.. I.."

Austin is standing next to JAX's wife both with their arms crossed glaring at JAX..

A bald man man in an Army General's uniform shakes his head, "Lance Corporal Xander.." Standing behind Austin and Mrs. Xander, "You have a god D@#$ lot of explaining to do.." Looking at the Army Brigadier General, "Yo.. I.. I have reqiested that mr. Macer get you out of that uniform.."

"General Odierno," Brutal smiled.. "It is all legal.. I do not care you are the Army Chief of Stff.. You better be careful on your next words.. You are just a statistic to me.."

The assembled stars all swallowed hard..

"Lucky for you this is to D@#$ funny to me.. Go ahead Lance Corporal.. Explain to your wife and your young mistress what is going on.." Brutal smiled politely, "I see what the bossman meant about this being fun.."

Buttersworth shook his head no to the Army General, "He will kill you and walk.. Deal with your problem child.."

Another car pulls up and a woman gets out.. She sees everyone as she has a stroller sat out for her.. She takes out a car seat, "What is my boyfriend doing here? Well good I need some money for diapers and formula.."

JAX's wife walks over and hits him in the broken rib, "You cheating mother F#$%er!"

Brutal grins, "Lance corporal the safest spot is upstairs with the Chairman.. Count Norton.." Brutal mockingly speaks, "You might want to go with Xander.."

Xander takes a deep breath, "I.. Can explain.. "

The woman with a baby has tears fall, "What.. What is going on?"

Mammy walks past with her patch on, "Sugar.. Why dont you come into the kitchen? We have plenty of food and baby supplies.."

"JAX," The woman looks at the Lance corporal as her tears fall.. "Who are they?"

Another car pulls up as the Chief of Staff of the US Army goes wide eyed, "Son!"

JAX heads for the door to go upstairs followed by Buttersworth..

Upstairs on the deck JAX is stopped by the former SAS officer.. "I will tell you this once.. Do not speak to Captain Colt.." Seeing Buttersworth, "Grandmaster.. "

"Lodge Brother," Buttersworth speaks in an ancient Language.. "I will stand beside our Grandmaster Mason.."

"I have given my word I wont kill the Lance Corporal," andros narrows his eyes..

"But you did not give your word not to hurt him," Buttersworth shook his head.. "Grandmaster.. "

Andros says nothing..

Admiral MacCann looks at the Lance Corporal, "Son.. You are in deep S#$%.."

JAX is shaking as he points at Alex, "You little mother F#$.."

Buttersworth knocks the lance corporal to the ground, "Keep in mind I am the Fifth musketeer.. Lance Corporal.. You lied to these women.. You have breached your duties as a father.. A husband and a lover.. You will be reclaiming your honor on the battlefield.."

Looking up from the ground, "Reclaiming my honor.. "

A man in a modern looking musketeer uniform slams his foot onto the Lance corporal, "Mr. Chairman.. We have a long way to go.. Brutal might be able to turn him into a killer.. I am nt sure I can turn him into a man of honor.."

Alex speaks softly, "Sue.. You made it.. And even Helos is impressed.."

"The sargent at arms honors me," Sue bends over to the lance Corporal.. "This is the first day of your new life.. In nine months a group of Army rangers will deploy into Afghanistan POG.. We have nine months to unF#$% you.."

Andros speaks coldly, "History records you die.. Attempting to be something your not.. So.. We have decided to give you a chance. To be all you can be..." Andros speaks with a lot of venom in his voice.. "Brutal will teach you to kill.. And trust me.. You will regret what you have done.. " Pointing at Sue, "To my pleasent surprise under my Grandmaster Templar, has learned honor.. To the point he leads the Musketeers, a dvision of the Templars.."

"I.. I die.. You can just cancel the mission," The lance corporal has fear in his eyes..

"Fear not brother,"Sue speaks as he presses his foot down.. "Your fellow Templars and musketeers have decided to volunteer their free time to aide Brutal in your education.."

"As for the mission.. Roscoe has run the numbers, "Admiral MacCann takes a deep breath.. "The mission has to take place.. other incidents come from it.. With the changes made to history we must add a new elements.." 

The SAS officer stands on the Lance Corporal's fingers with a light crack, "You will not let the Army down again.."

"Now.. New pledge to the Musketee4rs," Sue steps back.. "We will begin your testing now!"

The SAS officers grabs the sore hand he stepped on and 'helps' JAX up, "Son.. Someone wants to speak with you.."

A man in an Army Ranger uniform steps forward.. A scar comes across his face, "Admiral MacCann.. You are telling me that some of my boys are going to die.. This S@#$ bag is gonna save them.."

"Major.. I am with you," Andros speaks in the Major's voice.. "For all his S#$% he tried in my history to save them.. So Alex has agreed to let Roscoe use him as a test.. "

"Captain," Admiral MacCann puts his hand on the Major's shoulder.. "Let me handle this good sir.."

"Admiral. The kid is not an officer," The major looked back at the kid.. "He is fourteen!"

"The bar fight in north carolina.. Remember Major," The Admiral points at Andros..

"Some navy A$$holes injured several of," the major stops and looks at Andros.. "IT was him? They said it was a group of SEAL's in the report.. You.."

"Go for it Major," Andros spoke in the Major's voice..

"Captain," A teenage female softly spoke.. "Leave the Major alone.."

"Rufus," Andros turns and looks over angry..

"Twelve of my best are sitting in the brigs hospital for," the Major freezes as a sword is at his throat..

"They were not men of honor," Sue has the point of the fencing looking sword at the Major's jugular.. "They buried a rape.. Destroyed an innocent woman, to help a friend. They are alive which is more then they deserved! Templar One is a man of honor, Musketeer in good standing!"

"Sue," the Grandmaster spoke quietly.. "The Major is here under a white flag.. Should he prove later on not to ba a man of honor.. He is all yours.."

The sword was gone as Sue stepped back, "Aye grandmaster.."

The Major is pissed as he touches his neck.. He sees a few drops of blood, "These mother F#$%ers think..."

"Major.. Sue is serious.. I am too.. If you have any of this S#$% in your command you better make it right.." Admiral MacCann coldly speaks, "Or sue will be sent to your home.. On my Orders.."

Sue bowed his head, "Thank you Admiral.."

"NOW!" Admiral MacCann looks the major in the eye.. "Time travel exist.. Roscoe .. Our lead scientist in the Science command has requested from Mr. Macer to test the ability to steer history.. Your Rangers will recieve intelligence in a few months.. That Niether Little Bi#$% Rufus, or the A$$hole Captain will share.. During this time period they will embark on what should be a text book mission.. "

Looking at the blood, "S#$% happens.. "

"So we have decided to take an embedded element, The lance corporal.." The Admiral shook his head, "Have him trained by The Chair's lead enforcer.. A very evil man.. And then supplement his failed moral system with aide from sue and the musketeers.."

"Why not just tell me which F#$%ing Rangers and I can focus on thier training.." The Major is not happy, "All this bulls#$%.."

"They disobey orders to save a village," Andros speaks quietly.. "That A$$hole tries to save them and get two additional squads killed.. So we are gonna make him a bad A$$.. If Brutal breaks him.. I will take his place myself.."

The Major looks at Andros, "I have your word if he does not measure up.."

"I will give you the name of the men ,Train them, and lead them myself Major.." Andros states, "We will know in less then four months if this A$$hat lance corporal measures up.."

The major looks at Admiral MacCann, "This is bulls#$%.. However I am a soldier.. I will follow orders with one request.. " Pointing at the Lance Corporal, "I have the final say if he is involved.."

"Major.. You do'nt," Admiral MacCann was interrupted by Alex..

"Done.. With the caveat it has to be cold bloodied and Rufus here.. She oversees your test," Alex stands up and walks over.. He whispers to the major.. 

"I.. I lead that group myself," The major was wide eyed.. "I disobey orders.. It.."

"Alex," Admiral MacCann shakes his head.. "It does not matter does it.. He doesnt know the day or the location.. Major.. Before I return to my command.. I would like to visit the beach.. We can talk more privately their."

Wearing a suit, "Agent Lindsey.. DoHS.." Andros speaks in the mans voice, "My god.. Sherriff.. Nah you can have the case.. Mind if I just observe.."

A big belly man looked at the DoHS agent, "We are the lead.. Your reputation is.."

"Just rumors from enemies.. This is new.. You may have found the first nest of a serial killer.. First transformative step out.." Andros as Lindsey shook his head, "I just want to take notes.. "

"You are shorter then I expected," the Sherriff took off gloves.. "You said nest.. That is what I am thinking.. It is like the person is kidnapping people and living like birds.."

"Do we have to dig," The other men looked at the sherriff..

"S#$% sherriff I have done hundreds of cases and aint seen S@#$ like this.. You might make the books," Andros is still using Lindsey's voice.. "This.. You may have a family..Look at those markings.. Might I suggest we go all citified on the evidence up keep.."

"Agent Lindsey.." The Sherriff pauses, "You think I might have the first case.." Looking at the nest like area in the woods, "S#$% they might be looking at this later.."

Andros scratches a fake goatee as he kneels, "Does this county's local college have an archeology department?"

"Lindsey it does.. I know the local liberal p#$$y that works for it," The Sherriff and several of the deputies laugh.. "I get it.. She does this type of work and the evidence will be bagged and tagged.. Your not betting we get a conviction on this.. So preserve the evidence.. "

"Sheriff.. We do nt have the manp," The Deputy freezes when Andros turns coldly to him..

"It is unusual but.. The FBI and others might later on need this evidence.. A college professor always has student that need grades.. " Andros holds his hand out in a stop motion, "The Deputy is right where he was going.. It would be cost prohibitive, both time wise and cost.. With no hope of conviction.. However a professor can get free work legally.."

The Sheriff hits the Deputy on the back, "Good thinking son.. The students can later on be supeonaed to testify.."

"Dad.." The Deputy pauses.. "It only makes sense.. I know her boyfriend.. Will.. Let me call him.. They are probably having a nooner.."

Taking out a phone the Deputy makes a phone call..

"Agent.." The Sheriff watches as Andros is taking pictures, "Do you really think this site.. Is a ritualistic dumping area? Those markings.."

"I think your close.. It is probably the kill site.." Sixteen wheelers go down the nearby road," Those heavy trucks probably spooked the perp.. Fled before the site could be removed.."

The Deputy walks back over, "Dad..The professor is on the phone what do I tell her?"

Andros takes the phone and looks at the deputy, "Name?"

"Oh Professor VanRichter," The Sheriff's sons spits out..

"This is Agent Lindsey Department of Homeland Security.. Professor do you mind coming down to this site.. We have a potential murder scene.. " Andros holds a finger up to the Sheriff for him to wait, "We need some expertise quickly on some artifacts.. I think they are viking in origin.."

A female voice got excited, "Viking.."

"Well.. It is hard to say.. They could be stolen exctra.. But they are making on the walls.. We cant tell if they were recent or old," Andros has the sheriff smiling.. "I was told you were the local Archeology expert.. I remember rumors that vikings had come through the area.. That was templar conspiracy garbage.."

The Sheriff chuckled as he played unconciously with his masonic ring..

"Agent," The professor sound frustrated.. "Dont touch anything.. Ignorant locals.."

"Professor," Andros was still in lindsey's voice.

"My apologies agent.. Let me bring several of my students it will do them good.. They need field work," Professor VanRichter took a deep breath..

____________________________________________________________________________



The Sheriff smiled, "Professor.. the Agent is over their foollin' around with the boys.. They are singing kareoke.. Lindsey is pretty good.."

Taking a deep breath with her three students in tow, "Sheriff Cartwright.. Thank you for this oppoutunity.. Odds are it just a.."

Andros turned around singing, "And on the air was a hunger even a boy could recognize." He bows as he sings to the jaw dropped professor, "She had a need to feel the thunder..."

"Professor," The Sheriff shook his head.. "I told you he is good.."

"That is ," Professor VanRichter blinked as she scambled to speak..

Andros walked over, "Long time no see Tracey.. We knew each other in college sheriff.. You did not tell me you got married.. And a professor.." Andros hugs the Professor, "It is good to see you again pretty lady.."

"An.. Agent Lindsey," Tracey swallowed hard.. The deputies turned off the music, "What.. What is this scene you need me to look at?"

"Ladies and Gentlemen.." Andros shakes his head, "Can me and Professor VanRichter have a few moments alone.. I.. I did not know it was her.."

The Sheriff nods his head, And gives the two some privacy..

VanRichter hits andros in the arm.. She speaks through gritted teeth, "Mr. Colt.." 

Andros started singing in low tone, " Raging in her lovers eyes.."

VanRichter hit Andros again, "I should.." The Professor frooze as she looked Andros in the eyes, "You.. No.. NO... NO.. I do not think so"

"I often think about that summer.. The sweatthe moon light and the lace," Andros was singing in Garth Brooks voice as he reached up.. "I know your not a frigid B#$%^.. God.. "

A little to loud, "Andros.. You are only fourteen.." Tracey covers her mouth, "S#$%.."

The Sheriff is staring wide eyed, "The Run Away.."

Andros walks past Tracey, "Andros.. I.. Please do not kill them to cover yourself.."

"Sheriff," Andros takes a deep breath.. He proceeds to greet the Sheriff as the Grandmaster Mason..

Returning the Greeting as one of the Students looks at Tracey, The Sheriff takes a deep breath.. "God D@#$ it son.. Riley wants us to take you into custody.."

An old cadilac pulls up and a woman gets out, "Honey.. I brought you and Tommy some lunch.."

Deputy Tommy Cartwright pauses, "Mama.. Something is going on.. Dad said its that run away feller.."

The woman freezes, "Papa bear.. That. That Agent is impersonating.."

"Mrs. Cartwright.. Is that Fried Chicken.. I am starving.." Andros walks over making the Sheriff tense.. "Loyal Eastern Star," Andros goes to reach for the chicken and gets his hand slapped..

"We have heard of your reputation boy.." Mrs. Cartwright looks at Andros then relents, "I aint ever let a kid starve.." She chuckles, "I am married young man. See Papa bear I still got it.."

"Well if the sheriff aint tagin it right I can stay a little longer.. Food like this dont make itself.. " Andros greedily takes the sheriffs plate and sits on the car, "What.. She makes excellent fried chicken.. I know.. One of three reason I stopped here.."

"Son this dump site," The Sheriff gets a little pissed as Andros ignores him..

"My husband asked a question.." Mrs. Cartwright looks at Andros, "What brings you to our small town?"

"This is a templar sight.. The bodies are mostly animals.." andros tears the meat off with his teeth, "However their is a huge problem my loyal eastern star.. The site is inhabited by a group of nearly extinct humanoids.. I am here for two reasons.. One to find and save them.. Two.." Andros points at Tommy, "Your son.."

"My boy aint done a god D@#$ thing," Sheriff Cartwright growls.. "Son.."

"Papabear.. Take a minute," Mrs. Cartwright gets an excited look in her face.. "Riley said he plays matchmaker some to.. He aint killed Tommy so.."

"Mama bear," The Sheriff has a what the F#$% look on his face as his wife stand between him and Andros..

"You.. My baby's wife.. That is the other reason you are here," Mrs. Cartwright took food off her son's plate.. "You stay quiet boy.. Mama has some work to do.. Have another Drumstick grandmaster.. So this woman.. Is she.."

"Professor Tracey VanRichter," Andros motions for the wide eyed woman..

"Andros," Tracey is shaking her head no..

"Papa bear," Mrs. Cartwright growls.. "Please bring that young.. Well Lady.. Bring her to me please.."

"Mama Bear.. Judge Riley said, "The Sheriff takes a step back when his wife glares at him.. Walking over to the Professor, "Mam.. My wife wishes to speak with you.."

Professor VanRichter laughs, "You sure Sheriff.. I didnt notice.."

"Papa bear.. Do not F#$% this up," Mrs. Cartwright waits.. "She is smart.. Papa bear Maybe one in three will be able to pass school with no tutors.. He sure aint gonna find no woman with out help.. "

"MAMA," Tommy is insulted..

Andros hands the drum stick to Tracey, "Best Fired Chicken in the US.. Trust me.."

Tracey takes it, "Andros.." Andros makes and eating motion.. Tracey eats it and pauses, "God D@#$.." She takes Tommy's plate not even realizing it, "Mrs. Cartwright.. This.."

"Sugar.. You may call me Bell.." Mrs. Cartwright smiles, "Tommy.."

Andros takes a moment and then speaks in the Sheriffs voice, "Mrs. Cartwright.. She aint just smart.. She one of dem Techno Withes. She aint just smart she rocket scientist smart.."

"Andros," The Professor and the three students freeze..

A wicked smile crosses Mrs. Cartwright's face as she takes Andros's plate from him, "We need to put some weight on you.. "

The Sheriff laughs at the look on Andros's face as he had one drumstick left in his hand..

"Tommy," Andros turns.. "Will is not her boyfriend.. He is her protege.."

"But," Tommy looks at his friend..

"Littleman, " Will puts his hand on his hips.. "It is sweet you find the old battleaxe a boy toy.. Tommy.. I am more interested in outies then innes.."

"Your gay," The Sheriff looks at Will.. "And one of dem Tech witches.."

"Sheriff.. Will is the Sheriff after you," Andros smiles..

Both men look at each other, "What.."

"So you are single Professor," Bell smiles sweetly.. "My boy aint the brightest.. A good woman can mold him to.."

"The county Judgeship," Andros smiles.. "He goes back to college in ten years.. Finishes his criminal justice degree.. Gets married.."

"My baby a Judge and Married," Bell takes a deep breath.. "Honey I can teach you to make the chicken.."

"Bell," The Professor takes a deep breath.. "I.. I am ten years older then your son.."

"The miller house on Fifth street.." Andros grins, "It needs a little work.."

"The miller house I love," Tracey freezes.. "No.."

"Mama.. She is to smart to," The Sheriff hits his son in the back of the head.. "Dad.."

"The miller house is behind in its taxes.. Last owner aint paid in years.." The Sheriff nods to Tracey, "Mama Bear.. She has some work to do.."

"Will.. We need this crime scene organized.. Bagged and Tagged.. The Sheriff will help you.. Please use the CoS gear.." Andros smiled and took out his phone and dialed a number..

"Andros.. You exposed me and my trainees," Tracey still is eating the Chicken. "I do not need help finding a boyfriend.."

"Tommy.. Have you been stalking Tracey," Andros speaks in Tracey.. "Attending her classes waiting to pick up will.."

Tommy is wide eyed, "No.. No I have not kid!"

"So you would not be able to argue with her over the flat earth debate," Andros spoke In tommy's voice..

"He is a flat earther," Tracey rolls her eyes.. "Really Andros.. That is just stupid.."

Tommy gets mad, "Really.. Have you tried to do the math as applied to the idea.. It would change gravatational constants.."

Tracey responds loudly, "Oh a red neck boy like you can count .."

Tracey And Tommy start argueing..

Bell walks over and takes her husbands arm with a smile.. She fist bumps Andros, "Thank you.. Their first fight.. It is so cute.."

As they argue, "Thats my boy to stupid to realize she is smarter then him.."

"But she is flushed with anger," Bell laughs..

Tommy goes to his car and brings out a notepad, "I have taken notes and been to the book place!"

"It is called a library," Tracey takes the notepad and starts looking at the numbers..

Will laughs, "I aint seen her that mad in a long time.. Sheriff.. Lets take a look at the scene.. While they argue.. You two stand here and block their view quietly.."

"So you one of them Funny boys.." the Sheriff shakes his head as Tommy and Tracey are arguing over the math..

"He is a log cabin Republican Sheriff," Andros smiles as both realize every one else has walked away..

"Wait.." Tracey calls out.. "This site.."

"So you concede my theory has merit.." Tommy speaks as Tracey turns back..

Bell burst out laughing, "Baby.. Let Tracey go to work and you two can argue in private over this.."

"Fine.. Mama, I will go home and set out steaks.." Tommy takes back his pad, "Liberal idiot.."

"I will be there.. Your math is off.. Way off.. God such an idiot.. I will have to explain why to him," Tracey walks past Bell..

Bell looks at Andros  and crosses her arms over her heart and mouths thank you..

Andros winks at bell," By the way that is some sloppy science you quoted.."

"Mr. colt.. You are from the future.. You know the earth is round," Tracey look angry..

"Close to true.. However you quoted button sortin' as science.. Little lady any scientist with her salt knows the scientific method is Science not quoting someone elses observations," Andros puts his arm out to stop the sheriff.. "Will will you and the other protoges deploy your robes.. We are being watched.."

"It is scientific fact," Tracey clothes change into skin tight spandex material with classical hood.. "Mr. Colt.. I am not falling for that.."

"No.. You have not done the test your self or designed experiments in that nature.. At least not yet," Andros takes a deep breath.. "Please Call summer Immediately before this gets out of hand.."

"Please," tracey freezes when something beeps.. "Oh.. You need to talk with the soul sniffer.."

Andros has a weird noise comes from him..

"What is he doing," The Sheriff whispers to Will..

"Talking with them," Will has to brace himself as the noise comes back from the surrounding woods..

The noise stops when a hologram of a woman in blue jeans appears, "Tracey why are you.."

"Summer," Andros speaks in his five year old voice.. "I hear La'Ra' Ghul breathing.." andros speaks in a weird language..

A hologram Appears next to Summer, "I speak English traveller of the Great River.. And no I have mate furless one.. You can sleep alone!"

Several humaniod people people with feathers slowly step out, The speak in a language no one recognize..

"My god the people of the shore. They are extinct.." La'Ra'Ghul switches to the same language..

The people  kneel as an old humanoid woman steps out with a wooden cane.. She speaks in a version of Wendigo as her white eyes show, "Honored.. Honored Soul Sniffer.. We of the shore are honored.. What magic do the barbarins have that we can not smell you but you are here?"

Andros speaks in wendigo..

The Sheriff and his wife are wide eyed as Tommy walks up to Tracey, "My god.. What are they.. Aliens?"

The old woman chirps to Andros making him smile, after she speaks in Wendigo..

Andros chirps back in her voice making the native jump for a second..

Closing his eyes andros struggles to speak with them..

La'Ra'Ghul is very quiet as Andros seems to be communicating..

The old humanoid woman laughs as Andros has to mix in Wendigo between chirps..

She walks over to Tracey and smiles revealing a mouth full of spines.. She looks at Tommy and shakes her head like a human and says something..

A human female teenager is brought out nude by the people of the shore.

Andros holds out his hand, "Sheriff this is our problem please contact Judge Riley.. It is gonna be huge.. Summer can you get Lara here.."

"This kid," the sheriff pauses as the kid growls at him..

"Get Elphelba here," Andros shakes his head.. "Bring Doc Gera.. Summer.. I will need my Templars."

Town Hall

"What do you mean, I am nt allowed on the site!" A olderman speaks, "Templars.. I am your grandmaster.."

An assorted lot of men and women in a mix of military and SWAT gear chuckle..

"It is my great pleasure to remind you your Honor.. " Peter Johns british accent fills theair, "If the memo got lost I cn resend it.."

An older woman is wlked in by Admiral MacCann, "Johns.. Quit F#$%ing with the Grand maste  of the mother lodge.."

"Yes mam,"All the Templars come to attention out of respect.

"Mrs. Sinclair.. " Johns kneels, "You honor us with your prescene.."

"Its my privalege to F#$% with Judge Riley," Looking Riley in the eye.. "The Grandmaster Mason of the mother lodges of Terra acknowledges the need to keep the office separate.. He has begun the selection process for a new Grandmaster.."

"You cant be serious.. Buttersworth is insane.. Your doing this just because your and Sinclair raised him.." Judge Riley shakes his head realizing his mistake, "No.. I am.."

Peter John rises, "The Count was raised by.. Holy S#$% and he carries.." The Templars are all whispering to each other as Peter swallows hard, "The Quest.. He is on.."

"The Grandmaster of the mother lodges of Terra per his right and tradition has initiated the test of fire," The old lady swallows hard.. "My little butters must survive the crucible.."

"You can not be insane and pass it," Peter swallows hard.. "Miss.. Mrs. Sinclaire.. We.."

"And my little butters swears allegence not to the masons," Sinclaires words make Riley wince..

"But to the Grandmaster of the mother Lodges of Terra," Johns takes a deep breath..

"I have spoke with him.. This site is one of our old abandoned ones.. The natives are endangered and have taken shelter in the arms of the Templars.. The Grandmaster said you know your duties.. All he ask is for time to see if my little butters can overcome his demons."

Various blades came up in salute, "To Grandmaster Colt.. Of the mother lodges of terra.."

Riley got pissed, "This will not.."

The templars all turn and look at him..

Several of the towns people are very quiet as the Federal judge has his side arm lifted off him by a woman in SWAT gear, "You do not need this.. As a curtesoy we will protect you.."

"These creatures kidnapped children, "One of the people growls.. "If you are done.."

Mrs. Sinclair walks over and slaps the man to the ground..

"Your F#$%ing B$%^&," The man calls from the ground.. "Get her and.."

Several of his friend start to move only for them to freeze as various weapons at right at them..

"I have a list of names of the people involved in an illegal mining incident.. " Admiral MacCann hands the list to Peter Johns, "As a curtoesy to the little S#$%. I have agreed to share the results with his Templars.. Doctor Gera confirms this whole town and the tribe is suffering from heavy metal poisoning.."

"This is bullS#$%," The man on the ground gets very afraid.. "My.. My name is respected in this town.. My father has a lot of friends.."

The man cries in pain as the hand he was pointing with fell to the ground..

"Templar," the woman looks at Johns.. "That was rude.. Do you know how hard it is to get blood out of the Wood? "

The mans friends get very afraid..

"Well boys you might want to start singing.." Sheriff Cartwright shakes his head, "I cant fight off both these boys with knives and the good people of this town.."

"Billy has been mining illegally for four years," One of the men swallows hard.. "We had nothing to.."

The man goes to the ground with a blade to his knee..

"We are now talking something very simple.. "Johns strode like a lion, "All your assets and property will be siezed.. You will work sixteen hour shifts under some ruly miners cleaning up your mess.."

An old man comes in, "What in the hell are you.."

The old man crumbles to the ground from a blow from one of the Templars..

"I see your father has volunteered to join you.." Johns coldly speaks, "According to Wallace it is only going to take about ten years.."

" Now.. For the rest of the good people," Admiral MacCann watches as several members in town are put in the group with Billy and his friends.. "We will be providing freash water and the best medical treatment available.. In exchange we need your silence.."

The Sheriff holds up his hand, "Now wait a second.. We.."

"We will be repairing and rebuilding all the buildings in town. Free Cell phones, internet, water filtration units, and cable. For free.. I have technicians learning new skills.." Admiral MAcCann takes a deep breath.. "The only thing we ask is you leave the people of the shore alone.. They are near extinction.. Also we will be building a facility in this area.. There will be jobs available.. And then plenty of others post construction.. We want to keep the town small."

"And we did not see a d@#$ thing," Sheriff Cartwright takes a deep breath.. "Real Jobs.."

"Some of the old timers will be paid to spy on people coming into town.. Tell them all their stories.." Admiral MacCann grins evilly, "Plus our people will be spending money here.."
