In a NC State Prison, a man is walking down the hallwsy being escorted by two guards. He sees someone familiar standing in his holding cell and leaning against the bars. He stops to look at him.

“Hello, dad.”

“Did you put me in here, Josh?”

“I just gave them a clue to look harder into your car sales business.”

“Why?”

“There is more than one reason, dad, and you know it.”

“Sigh . . . I know. I just couldn’t keep my anger under control.”

“Well, how about you telling me to beat up those two kids back iin elementary school? We were tops in the entire school for my grade back then. What were you thinking then?”

“I just want you to do your best. I was hoping for you to go to a private school.”

“You want me to go to a private school? Some of those kids, as you put it, are right here in jail!”

“I’m sorry, Josh.”

“Sorry!! Well, it didn’t happen that way! I got expelled! You then pushed me away from mom and sis! You pushed me right into being a thug . . . a thug just like you!”

“I . . . I . . . “

”That’s right, go and stutter for some excuse! You’re priorities are really screwed up! I’ll talk to you some more when I’m more calmed down. Take him to his cell, guards. Preferably in a block that is far from here. I don’t want to hear his whining and screams at night.”

The guards take him to his assigned block that is in the next building on the prison complex.

A next door cell mate talks to Josh. “You’re dad is some piece of work, Josh.”

“Sigh . . . I know Tyrone. Let’s mess with his mind to get the truth out of him. I want the real reason as to why he hit mom and sis.”

“You got it, Josh.”

“How are you doing on those four wannabee thieves that Richard beat up?”

“We are real close in getting Brian to hear the Creator’s voice.”

“That’s good. We need to make sure Brent is the last one to hear the Creator’s voice. He is still angry that Richard is a better programmer.”

“I hear you, Josh. It is unfortunate that we ended up here to hear the Creator’s voice. But at least we are alive and given an opportunity to get our lives straightened out.”

“That’s true, Tyrone. The only ones who will have trouble hearing the Creator’s voice are the cold blooded killers.”

“Yeah, I’m glad I didn’t go that route. I just can’t imagine myself in taking another person’s life. See you on the compound for another round of martial art training.”

“See you out there, Tyrone.”

The Y-wing fighter comes out of hyperspace on the edge of his home galaxy system. He checks his readings and sees everything is good on the displays. He looks to his left and sees Kalbek’s scout ship nearby.

Luke’s video screen changes to Kalbek’s face on the screen. “Hello, Kalbek.”

“Hello, Luke. I waited for you to show up. You know it takes two star ships to navigate the Thread back into our home galaxy.”

“I know, Kalbek. What do you think will happen when you get back to the Sith Lords?”

“I’ll give my report as expected.”

“You know they will detect the spark of Light side in you.”

“I know, Luke. I have been thinking real hard about my choices lately. Since I now know the truth on how and why my parents were killed, I will honor them by not taking a life.”

“That’s a good thing, Kalbek.”

“Yes it is, Luke. I have a couple of questions for you. That world we were at, was that a magical world?”

“It is, Kalbek. I was able to detect at least ten more worlds there that are magical.”

“That’s good. If and when the Sith Lords arrive there, they will get a rude awakening from people like Richard.”

“Yes, they will, Kalbek. Did you sense Richard was stronger than you when he combined both the Light and Dark sides together?”

“I didn’t realize it until he broke free from my hold. By then it was too late. The other question I have, Luke, is about his sword. They must have something on that world that can absorb light.”

“I saw that reaction too, Kalbek. The best I can figure out it is some sort of stone mineral that they incorporated into the sword. I wouldn’t be surprised if it is in their armor for additional protection.”

“I wouldn’t be surprised either, Luke. The last question I have is about those dragons. I thought dragons are simple minded creatures. Once I heard them speak, my mind froze with awe when I suddenly sensed they can combine the Dark and Light side together. It’s amazing.”

“It certainly is, Kalbek. Apparently the teaching of combining the Dark and Light side is learned from them. If that is true, it is no wonder that teaching is lost in our galaxy system.”

“I agree, Luke. It seems these evil demons and angels want to make sure there is a constant war between the Dark and the Light.”

“That’s right, Kalbek. Well, let’s get back home. I’m letting R2D2 do my navigation like the last time while we were in the deep sleep sessions. I will use my instincts to fine tune the trajectory path.”

“I’m right behind you, Luke.”

Luke and Kalbek power up their engines. They set their shields to maximum strength. Luke takes the lead into the globular cluster surrounding their home galaxy. Kalbek follows right behind Luke.

When Luke navigates a turn around a star, the star starts to send a solar filament from the surface. Kalbek keeps close to Luke at a specified distance that evens out the gravitational pull of the star. As soon as Luke leaves the star, he makes his turn to go around another star. Kalbek turns and leaves the gravitational pull of the first star. As soon as he does that, the solar filament slowly returns back to the surface.

This dance continues as they navigate the Thread around the outer globular cluster stars of their galaxy system. This is what Hans Solo thought of when he was contracted by an obscure group of Cartels. That is to find a way out of their home galaxy. He earned a lot of money at that time. In fact enough money so he can marry Leia, Luke’s sister, and pay off all of his debt owed to several other Cartels besides the Hutt Cartel. This contract was never publicized. It was meant to gain an upper hand over the trade routes on the other side of their system. But, someone did leak out the information on how to do it. This caused a big uproar between the Galactic Alliance and the Empire. Both groups accused each other was at fault. It was never proven who was at fault. There was one rumor that stayed consistent on the matter. The Cartels did want the information leaked so everyone has an equal chance of reaping the profits in trade with the other galaxy systems outside of their own.

What usually happened before anyone tried this maneuver, with one star ship, the solar filament kept expanding out from the surface. Then the solar filament interacted with another nearby star gravitational pull by sending out another solar filament. Then the filaments start multiplying rapidly as you try to out race the filaments. By that time, several solar filaments are being emitted from stars in front of you. If you were not the best pilot, you and your ship would get destroyed in the wake of solar filaments coming at you from all sides.

Back on Earth, the Cherokee are cleaning up the ceremonial area for the return of their friends. They noticed the local wild life are showing some mixed emotions or none at all. The panthers, bears, dears, wolves are patrolling the area and keeping everyone safe. However, the Cherokee do see them walking about a bit listlessly. They too are waiting for the return of the Omega Unicorn.

In the NC State Penitentiary, Tyrone and some of his friends are able to get Brian Dixon separated and alone from the other three in their group when the inmates are allowed to walk outside for some fresh air.

Tyrone whispers to Brian, “Is Brent still mad at Richard?”

“He sure is, Tyrone. He still can’t believe that Richard wrote a better program than he did. I have a question for you.”

“What is it?”

“We broke a lot of bones in Richard’s body. How did he heal so quickly?”

“If you want to know, then you must learn some martial arts. It’s a technique known among those who participate in the martial arts.”

“Sigh . . . I get it.”

“Haven’t you given some thought on how to make your life more easier?”

“I have, Tyrone. I’m tired of following Brent. Those four Europeans were bigger thieves than we tried to be.”

“Yeah, there is always some one else who wants a bigger piece of the pie.”

Then Brian shakes hands with Tyrone. Then all of a sudden, Brian hears a voice he didn’t expect to hear.

“Who is speaking in my brain, Tyrone?”

“That’s the Creator speaking to you, Brian. Listen to him. He’ll help you get control of your life.”

“I believe you, Tyrone. I once thought about going to church while I was at a college with Brent and the others. But, Brent told me that those preachers speak a bunch of gobbledegook and mumbo jumbo. Brent said that we must take what we want by ourselves. No one is going to give it to us.”

“But with the Creator helping you along the way, it will be easier in the long run. How hard it will be for Michael and Darrell to hear the Creator’s voice, Brian?”

“I see where this is going. The Creator told you I was the weakest link among us.”

“That’s right, Brian.”

“Hmm . . . Michael and Darrell. Those two will be tougher to crack than you did with me. However, I do know a topic that you can use to get their attention. They are driven to hook up with a hot looking babe to be their next conquest.”

“That’s interesting. They are trying to get it all, money, fame and the hot ladies.”

“That’s right, Tyrone. But don’t tell them I told you about it.”

“We won’t Brian. Come by the cage to check out our martial art classes. We’ll see if we can get you connected with a preacher on Sunday as well.”

“Thanks, Tyrone. See you around.”

“That’s easy to do around here, Brian. If Brent comes down hard on you for defecting from his group, we’ll be there to break it up and tell him to cool his jets.”

“That’s fine, Tyrone.”

The group splits apart, Brian walks back to his other three friends.

“So, what did the scum bags want, Brian?”

“Nothing much, Brent. I just given some ideas on how to live a better life than the one we tried to go for.”

“Well, just stay away from them. If I see you hanging with them, I just might have to do something to remind you of your commitment to me.”

“Are you threatening me, Brent?”

“What’s wrong with that, Brian? You were the weakest link in our group.”

“You consider me the weakest link? I know when I not wanted. I think I will take a walk to the cage! If you don’t mind!”

“I do mind!” Brent reaches for Brian’s wrist. Just he was about to, Brent sees his hand stopped by Tyrone when he grabs his wrist.

“What’s wrong, Brent? You don’t have a monopoly on gangs here in prison.”

“Shut up, Tyrone! I still consider Brian a friend. We have been friends since our college days.”

“That may be true, Brent. It’s always important to have friends to count on. But if you turn against some one, then that other person will lose his trust in you. I’ve seen it happen too many times when a gang leader decides to let a soldier take the rap. To me, that’s a sign of being a coward.”

“Are you calling me a coward?”

“If the shoe fits, then I am.”

“Grrr . . .”

A guard comes in between them. “Come on, break it up. You don’t want to do solitary confinement. Stay away from each other, now!”

Brent and Tyrone respond at the same time, “Yes sir.”

They break apart and go their ways. However, Brian follows Tyrone to the cage. He gets word on what time to meet the preacher at the next Sunday service The cage is a separate fenced in area of the compound. It is used to keep certain people separate from others who can cause problems. This is especially true with several gangs within the prison. On this day, the cage is used by some to keep their martial art skills up to par.

The Warden and the guards noticed a nice change in the attitudes of several people like Josh and Tyrone. There are at least two groups they are keeping a sharp eye on. These are the white supremists who are against everyone else they don’t like. However, some of them are leaving the gangs when they start hearing the Creator’s voice speaking to them in their minds.

This is the website I found about the location of the Star Wars Galaxy

I provided a plausible solution if someone wanted to leave the system.

Hello BC Sci-fi Fans!!

Hello again BC Sci-fi Fans!!

I posted Chapter 30. This is an Epilogue Chapter. Thus, Book 3 - The Rescue Mission is finally complete.

I thought about adding a few more tidbits to whet the appetite, but my brain told my body it needed the sleep instead.

It's amazing that I have written 3 books so far. It has been an interesting journey in writing. I know some of you think I put too much emphasis on the conversation than I do on the scenery. I think it is because, we know too many characters from other stories, that we have those visions in our mind what its like. Take for instance, in Book 4 I'm beginning with Middle-Earth. Since everyone has seen the movies or read the books, those scenes are already described by JR and his son. Therefore, I feel I don't need to repeat those words, verbatim, to bring that world into my story.

Well, take care until next time. Have a great week everyone. Thanksgiving is here. Gobble! Gobble! Gobble!
