Original Science Fiction

For my good friend and great Lander @celeb621126, torum.com:

(JaiChai) "The Mission"

[The year is 2155 CE Adjusted. M7 galaxy, approaching the planet KGII (Khlorrai Genesis II).]

Military secure Straight Beam comm traffic:

"JC2022, Frosty621126 over."

"Go ahead, Frosty. Over."

"Within target range in 2 mikes. All systems are green. Over."

"Understand. All systems are green. You are fully authorized to DTD (Do The Deed). Make it rain. Again I say, make it rain. Over."

"Roger that, JC. Big Bertha deployed now. Again I say Big Bertha deployed. Over."

"Understand. Big Bertha is deployed. Good flying there, Frosty. Thought that asteroid field would force a mission abort. RTB ASAP. First round is on me. Over."

"Hoo-Yah, JC! ETA 25 mike's. Over and out."

And as Frosty621126 headed back to base, Big Bertha split into 12 sections, each containing a 100 kg payload of emergency simulated Khlorrian (highly carbonated) water, Type "K" MREs, medical supplies and 500 assorted belated Christmas toys.

"Well ya look at that. Those Khlorrian kids sure love chocolate." JC said, before taking another swig of his Singha beer.

Frosty said nothing.

The ex-Space Fighter Pilot turned Rescue/Relief Jet Jockey just winked, smiled and clinked the glass full of some ancient liquor from Earth with JC's beer mug...

[To be continued?]

May you and yours be well and loving life today.

In Lak'ech, JaiChai.
