TTA Long Ear, Episode 7: The Maximum


	With the help of RedHawk and LeBeauty, CatScratch had a nice
stay on board the Long Ear before the ship made the jump to where they
would catch up with the Maximum. Only CatScratch and Maniac know a
thing about the Maximum and the crew of the Long Ear were very excited.
Especially Kelly.
	Kelly falls onto her bed and falls asleep for a period of time.
Then someone wanted permission to enter the room. It was CatScratch.
Kelly did want to talk to him, but for other reasons. Not the one he
wanted to talk to her about.
	"What's on your mind, Lieutenant?" Kelly asks.
	"I just have a bad feeling about this war, that's all." he
says. "Sure I'm a very good pilot, but there could be a time when not
even the best ship in the universe could stand up to a power far
greater than anything anyone has ever seen. That could be the enemy
we are facing now, the Nonacians."
	"Is that what bothers you?"
	"A lot. Commadore Blair told me that if I not think about it,
things would be a lot better. What do you think?"
	"I think I agree and disagree with the Commadore. Try not to
think about it and you won't have to worry about a thing. But also
put that thought somewhere else and think of what comes towards you
instead. Is that all?"
	"Yes, ma'am."
	"Good. Now can I return to my sleep before we meet the
Maximum?"
	"Actually, we are no less than five minutes away from visual
with the Maximum, ma'am."
	"Really? Well, I must get back to the bridge. You are dismissed
from my quarters, Lieutenant."
	CatScratch smiles and leaves the room. Kelly runs around for a
few seconds and bolts right up to the bridge. Suddenly, a shock came
to her. She forgot to comb her hair. What a mess it is.


	It was a magnificant sight. There is no other ship in the
history of space that can or could be stronger, faster, and more
incredible than the Maximum. The finest work by the United Forces for
their first carrier, a carrier that is not super, not deluxe, and
certainly not looney like some TTA carriers. This is one ship no one
dares to mess with. It is the best of the best of the best.
	Transfer was limited and only a few were given the pleasure of
stepping on board the ship that may change space life. Kelly and some
of her pilots were those who were escorted by CatScratch and Maniac on
board the Maximum. Awaiting them was Captain Walter Grober and the one
and only Commadore Christopher "Maverick" Blair.
	"Welcome aboard, Captain Rabbit." Grober salutes. "Isn't she
the most beautiful ship you have ever seen in your life?"
	"I could faint right here and still never forget the amazing
sight before me. I've never seen a carrier like it."
	Most of the attention from the TTA pilots were towards the
Commadore. He wasn't shy that there are still billons who honor the
great Heart of the Tiger.
	"Welcome aboard, Captain." Maverick says. "I've been hoping for
this moment to come in a long time. You guys really impressed the
United Forces with those superior class fighters you guys have."
	"Thank you, sir."
	"Enough chit chat." Grober says. "Let's get right to the
point. Nonacian activity has been increasing in the last forty-eight
hours. It really is a very busy activity that they are conserned about
their own security."
	"You're saying you have a spy inside the actual headquarters."
	"I wish. They've been on full alert about their own security
and they threaten to take out as many UFS forces as quick as possible.
We are the problem. We are far too powerful for the entire headquarters
to attack us, which is why they are on full alert. The post at the
jump system needs safety, but they got it under control so they're
asking our ships tom unite and work on cracking some Nonacian codes."
	"That may be impossible. My decoder is not that great."
	"You better thank your lucky stars my guy is. Just send us any
Nonacian codes you wish to decode and we'll decode it. I got three of
the best decoders in the universe and they are skilled to the bone."
	"Of course, there's always Gemini." Maverick says.
	"Major James Duke?" says Kelly.
	"Yes, he's one of the ship's top pilots." says Grober. "In
fact, he, CatScratch, and Maverick are on the same squadron. Otherwise,
his privateer techniques will come in handy in decoding Nonacian codes.
He knows every code by the back of his hand."
	Grober looks at his watch. "Why not take a rest on board the
Maximum. We'll give you a week on board the ship and you'll return to
your ship."
	"By that time we would be begging to stay on board."
	All three giggle as everyone make their way out of the
carrier's flight deck. The crew of the TTA has just seen the beginning
of the Maximum.


Episode 8 will give the reader a big tour of the Maximum and some
helpful information on some of the crew members. Most of all, some of
the TTA pilots get to personally chat with Maverick himself. See ya.
