Welcome to the Realm™ - Version 5.0...
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________





[SCENE:&#160 On the bridge of the new Realm&#153 monstrosity, Titanic.&#160 While Pegasus&#160 is in spacedock awaiting repair after her massive crippling, all her senior staff has transferred to this massive dreadnaught in advance of her maiden voyage.

But all is not sunny-side-up in her command center.&#160 Supreme General Rayegun and Captain Korrioth are engaged in a…uh…slight discussion.]

RAYEGUN:&#160 For the last time, Captain, you are not&#160 taking this ship out until you have achieved flag rank.&#160 And as long as I&#160 rule this government, as far as I’m concerned, it’ll be a cold day in Hell before you do!

KORRIOTH:&#160 And I tell you, General&#160 – I have my orders.&#160 Titanic&#160 launches in two hours.

RAYEGUN:&#160 Not without a flag-rank officer it isn’t, you flea-bitten p’takh!

[Korrioth’s eyes flash at the insult, but he lets it go.&#160 Out of the corner of his eye, the turbolift doors open as Rayegun continues his rant.]

RAYEGUN:&#160 And since I’m headed back to the Southern Command to train my new General, there is no flag-rank officer to take the conn!&#160 And I’ll fire on this vessel if I see her in space without an appropriate command hierarchy in place, do you understand, Captain?!?!?!

[What they hear next makes both men jump two feet in the air]

OFFSTAGE VOICE:&#160 That will not be necessary, General.

[From the turbolift emerges a hooded figure with a slow-but-purposeful stride.&#160 From under the hood, one can see two bright flashes of purple.]

HOODED FIGURE:&#160 I relieve you, sir.

[Rayegun can only stand there, agape.]

RAYEGUN:&#160 I…I…ah…

[Korrioth is quicker to recover, motioning to tactical officer K’hadibak’h.

KORRIOTH:&#160 He stands relieved.&#160 [to K’hadibak’h] Escort the General to his vessel and ensure that it is prepped for departure.

K’HADIBAK’H:&#160 Yes, m’lord!

KORRIOTH:&#160 Thank you.&#160 [to the hooded figure] Welcome back, Admiral.

[The figure removes his hood – and, as expected, it is His Rudeness, Lord Darth Venomous, now fully recovered.

VENOMOUS:&#160 Thank you, Captain.&#160 Report.

KORRIOTH:&#160 Still on schedule for launch, m’lord.&#160 All systems online & functioning normally.&#160 Our new engineer reports the warp drive is properly mixed and ready for all flight modes.

VENOMOUS:&#160 It had better be, Captain.&#160 And tell Mr. Merlin that this is only until we groom McCool’s replacement.

KORRIOTH:&#160 Perhaps we should avoid mentioning Ozy for a few weeks yet, Admiral.&#160 Merlin took his death harder than most.

VENOMOUS:&#160 (nods) Yes.&#160 Point, Mr. Korrioth.&#160 No need to antagonize the wizard any further.&#160 What else?

KORRIOTH:&#160 Oh, and your lightsaber is in your quarters, as per your instructions.

VENOMOUS:&#160 Excellent, Captain.&#160 That is where I’ll be until my presence is required.&#160 Keep me apprised.

KORRIOTH:&#160 Aye, sir.

[Venomous turns and heads into the turbolift.]

    I assume that the General is on leave until after the honeymoon?

  2. You assume correctly, sir. 🙂

    If you really wanted to be nasty, you could sneak into the Commanders quarters as Southern command and booby trap the place with a bunch of alarm clocks. With electronic miniaturization being the way it is, you could stuff the place so full that he wouldn’t find them all for days! (evil grin)

This blog is best viewed with your eyes. 
It helps, though, if you have Microsoft Internet Explorer  set about 1024x768 1280x1024 with your Favorites window activated on the left deactivated.  (At least until I can get a better handle on how WordPress works.)

(KORRIOTH:  Oh, great.  More wormholes.)

Mozilla Firefox doesn't do too badly, either; in fact, it's His Rudeness' browser of choice.
You can  use Nutscrape,  if you so desire - but why in blazes would you want to use a browser from a company that had to hide behind Janet El Reño's skirt to be successful?

And don't even  get me started on Opera or Chrome.  I'm not about  to trust any browser that won't let me change its color scheme.
