Just started work on the next episode of this for Freelance Traveller (Jeff still has two episodes left but better get cracking). Are people enjoying these?
Oh and a teaser from part seven
218th of 2029 (044-98): Protectorate Central Command Complex, Daramm
Mother was getting irritated. This was not a good thing, especially for the young Korneet who was irritating her. “Raslee Korneet, do you know who I am?”
She gulped, her voice almost a squeak, a mix of fear and embarrassment “Yes my lady”
Mother spoke through clenched teeth “Then we may proceed!”
Raslee Korneet shrunk into her chair “I'm afraid not my lady, your papers are not in order” you could hear her trembling.
Mother lost it in a most un-Mmarislusant fashion “Korneet, do you want to spend the rest of your career scrubbing out algae ponds on Yasant!”
Her voice a whisper now “No my lady.”
“Then let us through!”
The Korneet's eyes were locked firmly on the floor, her voice almost imperceptible “Even with a white five clearance, your companion still requires authorisation from Sung Kolant in charge of detentions.”
Mother screamed “Get me Sung Kolant now!” the emphasis she gave the word now left no doubt she meant that delay may have been fatal.
Raslee Kornet tapped a few buttons on her terminal, a rather flusterd middle-aged man appeared. He appeared annoyed “I left strict instructions I was not to be disturbed!”
“Kolant, I... I... I'm afraid to bother you but there's a... situation that requires your presence here.”
The kolant's face twisted and you could see the anger rising “Raslee! I don't care if all the Gods themselves are there, deal with it!”
Mother smiled and stuck her head in front of the monitor “No Gods Kolant, just me.”
Sung Kolant's face seemed to freeze in place. Then he spoke haltingly “I'll be right there Lady Councillor Manish.”
