GALL FORCE: finally, peace?
Chapter 1, HOME, a hassle
"It's only been six months", mused Lufy, "How can things change
so much in such a short time?"
Three days after destroying the Solnoid equipment storage site,
in French Polynesia, the group of thirteen women and ten men
decided it was time to go home. They flew the heavy equipment
half way 'round the World, except for the front rover and the
breeze II, which were being flown back on a CAF C-130.
now they had to wait till dark to approach Lunenburg N.S.
They waited lest they attract attention to them selves and Mrs
Ross. When they finally got the equipment they had stored back
in the hanger, they were all tired. The women went upstairs to
their rooms and the men trudged over to their apartment building
As the guys walked to the building, they noticed a light in the
living room and Derek moaned "Oh no, did we forget to tell Mrs
Ross where we were going?".
When they entered the living room there were three R.C.M.P.
officers with Mrs Ross. The ranking officer, a Sergeant asked,
"Where have you men been? Dalhousie University reported that you
all vanished without warning". The students looked at each other
in shock. "Furthermore, Lunenburg Secondary Vocational School
is missing two students, would you happen to know where they are?".
Mrs Ross then adds "The Park Service called five times, asking about
Patty, Rachel and Sarah".
Derek slowly nodded "We really are sorry about all this but we,
uh, had to go help the U.N. with a little problem, If you call this woman, she should be able to verify my story". With that, he gave
the Sergeant Catty Nebulart's phone number.
Mrs Ross and the officers looked shocked and one of the Corporals
states "We'll check into this but in the meantime, we will need to
detain you, pending our findings of course. Now, do you know
where the women are?".
The students exchanged quick glances and nodded. Chat said "Yes, we
know where they are, however I think it would be best if one of us
talks to them first, I can promise you that they'll make no attempt
to escape".
Oskar added "You might also want to call for a bus to transport us
all, there are Nineteen of us" he did not want to mention Born
just yet.
The officers agreed and followed the men back outside.
The Sergeant said "I don't remember this being here before" as he
gazed at the hanger.
Being that the apartments were off by themselves, on a semi-private
dirt road, this was not too surprising.
Chat and one of the Corporals entered the hanger and stood in a room where there were several chairs and a couch. Chat moved to the
spiral staircase, then banged on the railing with a metal bar that
hung there for that purpose.
Amy's face appeared as she asked "Who is it?, Oh hi Chat, lemme
get Rachel" and she disappeared, the men heard voices overhead.
Rachel came down the stairs "Chat?, is there something wrong?",
then she saw the RCMP officer "Oh dear, I guess there is".
The officer explained the problem and started to relate the complications for the whole group. "Wait, wait, why don't you let
me go upstairs and call everyone together so you won't have to
repeat yourself" Rachel begged as Chat looked alarmed, "It's okay
Chat, I don't think there will be a problem".
Rachel returned to the second floor and calls everyone, then explained that a man will be here in a moment to talk about a problem that had come up. "But it's late, can they come back in the morning?" Spea asked "And should Born be here?"
"Thats true, he IS new to the planet, it might be better if he hid up here, for now anyway" states Cathy, then she tells him to use her room to hide in
Rabby said "I really think we should listen to what he has to say".
The women all nodded and Rachel called down to the Corporal that
he could come up now. The officer was surprised to see TEN women
looking at him, then told them why he was here and what he
needed to do.
The women glanced at each other and Eluza offered "I suggest we
agree to go with the officers".
Cathy piped up "If Derek gave the sergeant my mother's number and
they call her, We'll be out in no time, no questions asked".
He then led them back to the apartment, where the Sergeant and the other's are waiting "Well you are right, son, we will need a large vehicle".
The Sergeant called for the bus on his radio, then they
all moved back inside to wait. Mrs Ross had made coffee and laid
out some cheese and crackers for snacks. "I expect that you all
could use something to eat" she said.
There are thanks all around as the group take coffee cups and
snacks and found places to sit. Most of the women choosing to sit
close to the male with whom they were most comfortable except
for Cathy and Catty, who sit next to each other.
The hum of conversation from the men was about forgetting to tell someone they would be gone. If they had the trouble they were
currently in could have been avoided.
Rachel was still wondering what was the matter "But what did we do wrong?, I mean, okay so we all disappeared for a few days. Is that
a crime on this planet?".
Chat replied "Well, Amy and Miti are underage, no one told the
school that they'd be absent at all, the same goes for us.
People were just worried, thats all, After the police call Catty Nebulart, everything should be okay".
Eleanor commented "Really, it's all right, we are as much to blame
as you, running off to fight a battle that should never have been
needed if 'our' sisters had laid the old war to rest" Then,
thinking of something more, she quickly wrote out a short note.
Derek was apologizing to Lucy for messing up so badly "I mean
going off without telling any one, that's really stupid".
Lucy wraps her arms around him, whispered in his ear "Charging
into battle before thinking is MY job, I'll have you know", then
kissed him.
Fifteen minutes later, the bus arrived and the officers guided
the group aboard, as Mrs Ross looked on in shock. Eleanor turned
to her, bowed and said "We are truly sorry to bring this trouble
to your home. When we return, you will have all the help you
need" and then she handed Mrs Ross a note.
Mrs Ross watched the bus pull away, worried about all of them,
standing in the dark. she then goes up on to the porch to read
the note:
Dear Mrs Ross
"There is a man hiding, upstairs, in the hanger.
he is in Cathy's room, his name is Born. he looks like Patty,
however he is new to the planet, please take care of him until our return".
Many Thanks
Your Friend
Eluza
Mrs Ross gasped, then ran over to the hanger to find the him, when
she does he is looking over Cathy's small Library and jumps when he hears her enter the room
"Well, Born, I have nine aliens living here, I might as well make it ten, do you need anything to eat right now?".
Born looked at the older woman "you mean that you know the solnoids weren't birthed on this planet?". she looked puzzled for a moment
"oh, you mean born here, on earth?, yes, I know that".
Mrs Ross took Born's arm and led him back to the apartments "I'll
tell you all I know about what has happened since they got here,
okay?"

Later, in their cell's, separated by gender, the groups waited out the night.
In the womens cell there was: Lucy Atkinson, Eleanor Rubenstein,
Patty Scudder, Rachel Ludwig, Sarah Smith, "Miti" Anderson,
Shelly Trimble, Mary Ann Louis (or MAL, as she liked to be called), Cathy Ross and Catty.
On the mens side there was, Derek Slater, Philip Chatterly, Akira Takada, Leonard Porter, Maurice Foch, Oskar Bernstein, Dave Holland, Steve Calhoun and Jack Rice.
The next morning, the Sergeant told the Captain of last night "And
you believe them?" the Captain asked.
"Well, Sir, I did call that number they gave us and it IS a direct
line to the U.N. office of a Catty Nebulart"
"I see, well let me have the number, I'll contact Ms Nebulart myself"
the Captain said, the Sergeant read it off for him, then left the office.
Alone the officer dialed the number and waited for an answer.
"Ah, hello, this is Captain Stammel of the RCMP in Nova Scotia
calling, am I talking to a Catty Nebulart? I am?, oh good.
Ms Nebulart, I have have in my Jail a group of Nineteen people, who claim that they have been on a mission for the U.N."
A pause, then"You do?, well, let me look" he picked up a paper from
the pile on his desk "Yes, yes those are the names, so you can confirm that these people DID do a job for the U.N.?. Yes, I can see where
that might lead but I did need to check out their story, thank you
very much for your time, goodbye".
He puts the handset back down. He sat for a moment, then called out "SERGEANT!!!!!"
the officer re-entered the office "Yes, sir?".
the Captain said "Release the people that were taken into custody
last night and offer them a lift back home, right away".
The Sergeant saluted, then left to follow his orders.
Lucy and Miti wake to the sounds of the door to the holding area
opening and wake the others in time to hear the Sergeant say, as he unlocks the cell doors, "You are all free to go. if you wish, a ride
will be provided back to the apartment building".
They decide to take the offer of a ride and thank the Sergeant
* * *
After returning to the apartment building the group seeks out Mrs
Ross and asked her if everything is alright. "Yes, everthing is fine, Born fell asleep on the couch, I think he's still there"
Patty looked worried at the news then nodded. Catty commented
"I need to go to New York to talk with Mother" by this she meant
Catty Nebulart "Cathy, will you come with me?, I have an idea on
how to repair all our sisters but I would like your help, please?"
Cathy nods to her older sister and then writes a note to Denise, explaining where she has gone and why, asking Denise to please join
them in New York when she can
