days, because the
transfer of children and tribute will be completed by then.
    The Company K force is divided into two groups, with Captain Nemo in
command of ‘group 1’ and Lieutenant Guilles in command of ‘group 2’. They
prepare the two mining shuttles for launch, and practice the boarding scenario.
    The extrucian work force at the mining complex is very
cooperative. In addition to the joy of having their king back, they also
are in awe of the augmented human fighting force. Apparently, the news
from the cave battles has made the AH force seem invincible. The
extrucians are hopeful that the Verm can be overthrown, because of such a
fortuitous alliance.
    The sympathizer reports that she is ready and is scheduled to run Launch
Command, tonight. The launches of the two shuttles will take place during
that time period. She will wait until both Verm ships are empty of
shuttle craft, and will then signal launch commands to the mining company
launches. The two shuttle launches will be separated by 12 minutes, so
that the shuttles will touch down on the Verm warships, at the same
instant. These shuttles are to be piloted by the extrucian pilots who
would normally fly them - they have become willing co-conspirators in this venture.
    Danion takes the Nemesis back into space, where he ‘runs silent’ and
coasts into position, behind the second moon. When the shuttles launch
from the planet’s southern continent, the Nemesis will begin to drift
into position, above the Verm warships. When the warships realize that
they are under attack, they will launch Faster Than Light (FTL) information
probes to Verm headquarters. Danion’s job is to destroy those probes before
they can enter FTL space.

    Captain Nemo eats dinner with Lieutenant Guilles - there is not
much talk. After the dinner, they kiss and hold each other tight, just in
case this is the last time they are together. They part with a chorused
“I Love You” and board their separate shuttles.
    The launches are routine, with no problems or delays. Company K is
outward bound for the Verm warships, and is headed toward a new kind of battle
experience.

    The Boarding
    Lieutenant Guilles’ shuttle is the first to touch down on a Verm ships –
by 2 seconds. The sympathizer and pilots have done a superb job.
The boarding parties have been set up, with ideal conditions for the
assault. Now, it is time for Company K to do a superb job.
    The shuttles wait for the specified time, and open the shuttle cargo bay
doors in unison. Only extrucian youth are on the loading docks of the
Verm warships. As Captain Nemo had hoped, the Verm’s arrogance and pride
have caused them to be overconfident, and they are unprepared for any kind of
assault.
    The extrucian youth stand by in shocked silence, as the battle armored
augmented humans bound past, and spread out, toward prearranged assignments.
‘Squad 1’ - commanded by Lt. Guilles - sprints for the Command Bridge; ‘Squad
2’ heads for the Communications Center; ‘Squad 3’ heads for Engineering; ‘Squad
4’ heads for the Weapons Control Center; and ‘Squad 5’ heads for the
Armory. The remainder of the ‘2 nd group’ force spreads outward
from the loading dock, and establishes a perimeter, which essentially divides
the ship in half.
    That same procedure re-occurs on the other Verm vessel, with Captain Nemo
leading his ‘7 th Squad’ toward the Command Bridge. There has
been little Verm resistance so far, with only a small security force, along the
way, to confront the human invasion. When one of the human squads reaches
its destination, there is – typically - a security guard contingent and locked
doors. The security guards are armed with light weapons, which have no
effect on the battle armor worn by the humans. The guards are quickly
dispatched, and then the squad’s ‘demolition man’ sets explosives and quickly
blows the doors open.
    Next, there is a rush of augmented human soldiers, through the
doorways.
