hostility. We have
the Kiveans, the Deltons, and the Talts all living in asteroids in the Solar
System now. They’ve brought some valuable technologies with them that have been
introduced all over.” Ryan knew this was making a huge difference.
    In most Human
colonies in the Solar System, it wasn’t unusual to see one of the three alien
races that now called this their home helping out building new infrastructure
or showing Humans how to use the new technologies. There were also visitors
from some of the Alliance worlds on occasion. The news channels were now full
of features on different alien worlds and their cultures, particularly those of
the Alliance. Humanity had learned the hard way they were not alone in the universe.
It was a lesson they would never forget.
    “When do we
deploy?” asked Autumn as she looked expectantly at Ryan. “This training is
getting boring and I suspect Alexander is getting tired of Lauren stunning
him.”
    “I’m not sure,
but I suspect it’ll be shortly. We’ve gone through a lot of training in the
last few months. Then Ryan shifted his gaze over to Alexander and Lauren.
“Lauren, you have to quit shooting Alexander with your stun rifle. It’s not
setting a good example for your Marines.”
    “It was my
fault,” Alexander interrupted before Lauren could say anything. “I pissed her
off and she blasted me.”
    Lauren looked surprised
at Alexander taking the blame. “I’ll stop,” she promised. “I need to control my
temper better. It’s just that sometimes Alexander knows exactly what buttons to
push.”
    “Or feel,”
Casey said with a mischievous grin. Lauren had been the one who had helped to
show her how to act and feel more like a Human woman.
    Lauren blushed
slightly and looked down at her food.
    “I’m supposed
to meet with Colonel Winfrey tomorrow, maybe then we’ll know when we’re
shipping out.”
    “Do you think
we’ll get some leave time before we go?” asked Juan. He really wanted them all
to go back to Luna City and go astro gliding one more time.
    “Maybe,” answered
Ryan. He knew that Wade was due back in a few days from his trip to Lanolth.
The Kleese were once more on the move taking over the rest of the nonaligned
worlds. It was time for the Human race to lead the Alliance against the Kleese,
and particularly the Zaltule. Ryan wondered just what role he and his Marines
would play. He looked over at Casey, who was laughing and talking to Lauren. It
had been great to spend so much time together since their return from Delton. Now
that time was ending and it was time to go back to war.

Chapter Three
     
    Colonel Wade
Nelson entered General Alan Mitchell’s office expecting to find only the
general waiting for him. With surprise, he saw Fleet Admiral Kelly, newly
promoted Alliance Fleet Admiral Rivers, General Pittman, Admiral Adamson of the
heavy battlecruiser Constellation , and Colonel Winfrey.
    “Have a seat,
Wade,” General Mitchell said, gesturing toward an empty chair. “We have a lot
to talk about.”
    Wade sat down
and looked expectantly at the commanding general.
    “We’ve all
read the report that you and Hyram wrote about the current status of the Alliance as well as their assessment of the Kleese intentions,” Mitchell began. “Everyone
is in agreement that the Kleese will attack either the Alliance or us as soon
as the last nonaligned world falls.”
    “That was our assessment
as well,” answered Wade. “Even Alliance President Raytol is in agreement.”
    Every since
his return from the Delton rescue mission, General Mitchell had been sending Wade
all across the Alliance in an attempt to drum up support for additional ship
construction and military support. For the most part, that mission had
succeeded. The Alliance fleet was now far larger and possessed highly advanced
weapons. In addition, every Alliance world was protected by a defensive grid as
well as powerful surface based ion cannons. The Alliance wouldn’t be an
