THE ODYSSEY
"How are things in Odyssey Admiral shaw"
the man on the display screen is sitting on the bridge of an aircraft carrier, Says with hesitation
"Not good, In a month I will not be able to feed my men"
"You are always welcome here, you and your men. Take the fleet to Kochi" Peter says it with a grin.
"Mr.Peter, you want us to come in unarmed, Why do you think we will obey you" Captain Thomas steps in.
"Captain, We both know the only option for you to survive now is to set up a new ecosystem inland, Your supplies will be depleted in a month. Imagine the chaos when your people find out that you had an option and you chose to starve them to death".
"Peter, don't forget that my whole fleet is still armed, What stops us from taking your so-called ARK" Admirals tone was now more like that of a threat.
"This facility is built to last nuclear detonation, Before the outbreak, I built this with the most advance technology available. Your arsenal won't be enough, and what good will it do if you want to destroy this facility"
"Mr.Peter, We keep our firearms in return for my fleet and my planes will be at your disposal"
"How many do you have?" Peter asks with a doubted face and looks at Martin
"3800" answer comes from the admiral
"We will take 1000, My men will board your vessels with provisions that will last for 6 months for 3000 men. You along with the people you choose will be escorted here. Your weapons will be seized and kept in our armory. You will bring half of your fighter planes here, they will be kept and maintained in our hangers"
"Your facility can serve food for all of us?. If this is some trick you will face the consequences."
"Admiral, this facility was built to be used in case of a nuclear detonation. We can keep a populace of 4000 well-fed for at least 10 years underground. But since the atmosphere is not filled up with radiation we can farm, and that is what we are doing"
"Peter, Why can't you then take all of us in?"
"The outbreak literally stopped everything, soon we will be running short on fuel and several supplies. We need to find ships that can bring fuel, goods, medicines, The world is not still filled with friendly, a standing army can still ensure security"
"Peter, How do you plan on taking us, If we use choppers that's multiple runs and wastage of fuel"
"Leave that to me, admiral, I will get back to you with a solid plan " Peter ends transmission and walks out.
