Curt: Aye.

Andrew: You aren't scottish.

Curt: Aye.

[Script] Sentinel Chronicles - November Project - Act 1 - Scene 3

Scene: Admiral Dweebnar and Captain Andrew stand over a briefing room table.

Admiral Dweebnar: Good news Captain, you won't be flying a sortie against the Roids today.

Captain Andrew: That is good news.  Commander Medley will be very happy.  So what are we doing?

Admiral Dweebnar: Oubliette base is running short of vital supplies.  You are to make a run up there and delivery them; then return.

Captain Andrew: Um...sir, no offense but...this sounds like a milk run.  Why not have a drone or a Junior pilot do it?

Admiral Dweebnar: I would give you bullshit about R&R but we both know that's not something we can afford with our losses so I'll get straight to the point.  There's a renegade human out there called Bregsaw.  He's killing our people and robbing them.  A bandit pure and simple.

Captain Andrew: So he is real?

Admiral Dweebnar: Very.  And we can't afford a fighter escort; so you will need to dodge his fire both ways.  Can you do that?

Captain Andrew (saluting) Aye sir.

Admiral Dweebnar: God speed Captain.  This is an important one.

Captain Andrew: Don't worry sir.  I won't let you down.

Amidral Dweebnar (nodding): Dismissed.

Editing

I think I will call the 6th novel "House of Helios" as one of two or three or novels in the Heliotropic book of fairy tales....I need to edit a LOT more but waiting a year has made me much more able to edit it. I think from now on anything I write, no matter how much I want to ship it immediately, needs to age like fine wine...(or liquid turds) and then be cleansed. But the core story of Novel 6 is ...good. Really good. It also needs a lot of work.

[Script] Sentinel Chronicles - November Project - Act 1 - Scene 2

Scene: Benjamin and Andrew are talking to each other before he goes while Andrew packs.

ANDREW: It's been a great visit dad.

BENJAMIN: It's too short.

Andrew: It's always too short.

Benjamin: Every year gets worse.  The roids just keep taking more and more.

Andrew: We're gonna turn it around.

Benjamin: You just keep coming back to me, do you understand?

Andrew: I understand Dad.  I will.

Benjamin: A father shouldn't live longer than his son.

Andrew: I know Dad.  I gotta go.

(They hug)

[Script] Sentinel Chronicles - November Project - Act 1 - Scene 1

Scene: Admiral Dweebnar and General ThickDexter are talking via conference call.  Dweebnar is in a ridiculously posh office with slick high tech screens outlining tactical and strategic displays behind him, eating and drinking something posh while the General sits in a concrete bunker, obviously worn by combat with a worn battleflag behind him.

ADMIRAL: What is it Thickdexter?

GENERAL: This. Place. Is. Hell.

ADMIRAL: You knew that when we sent you there.  It's part of the conditions of your resignation.

GENERAL: I accepted this assignment with certain conditions....

ADMIRAL: I know that.

GENERAL: I've had hardship....

ADMIRAL: (sighs)

GENERAL: The men, the men here, think of the men, how they suffer, we're suffering together

ADMIRAL: I'll - (interrupted)

GENERAL: I know where the bodies are buried. We need that package.

ADMIRAL: (beat) I'll send someone.  Our best pilot.  Now stop calling me.

[Poem] The Grass Is Mean - Part 1

(Inspired from the writings of my Forefathers)

Yard work kept me busy part of the time.
Part of the Time
Part
Part of the Time

I mowed the lawn
Mowed it
Moved the Lawn

Put down the fall fertilizer
Sprayed for weeds
Trimmed back the blackberry bush
Trimmed the pear tree.
Peaaaaaaar Tree

I mowed the lawn
Mowed it
Moved the Lawn

The tomato plants are still in full bloom
I don't think they will last much longer

I mowed the lawn
Mowed it

Moved the Lawn
