.When he got out of the military, he went into robotics and now has about a million degrees in robotics and that ‘cyber’ word that means robotics.”“Cybernetics?” asked Calvin.“Yeah,” replied Master Chief, “that thing.With two cyborgs in the unit now, I’m glad we got him.If they break, hopefully he can fix them.His name is Sergeant Mark Hopper.He goes by the name ‘Hoppy.’”“Someone went way out on a limb for that call sign,” Calvin noted.Master Chief shrugged, “He said that’s what he’s always been called, even before he got into the army.I guess his friends weren’t very imaginative.” He looked at the cameraman.“Was the photographer your idea? Not getting enough TV time?”“No,” replied Calvin.“I’ve had all of the publicity I need for this lifetime and several more.His name is Bob Jones; he goes by the nickname ‘Danger.’ I didn’t know we were getting him until we were on Domus.There was a combat cameraman doing a show on the new members of the Terran Republic, and the Domans hired him to do a ‘real Terran news show’ on the war.“Wonderful,” grumped Master Chief.“We obviously didn’t have enough distractions already, what with cyborgs, baby dinosaurs and talking cats walking around.We needed to have a movie camera for all the boys and girls to preen for, too.Just fucking wonderful.”Night cleared his throat.“If Master Chief is done, you can also see the two new medics we got working out with swords over on the other mat.The woman is Paige Julia Lawrence, and the man is Ray Jones.”Calvin raised an eyebrow.“Yes, that makes three people named Jones,” replied Night.“This one is easy to remember; he goes by ‘Doc.’ Both he and Lawrence had prior careers they gave up when the Drakuls showed up.Lawrence had been working on biowarfare defense, doing some sort of DNA sequencing shit that’s way over my head.Jones was working with SWAT, but was also a prior Marine corpsman.Both have some interesting side skills.”“Cool,” said Calvin.“And that just leaves the three corporals over at the bench press that you already met,” said Master Chief, “Corporals Stump, Cuillard and Owens.Cuillard is the one working out on the bench.”“Don’t you mean ‘the Three Caballeros’?” asked Calvin.Master Chief growled.“Sir, please don’t start that shit, too; it only gives them big heads.”As Calvin looked over, he saw that Cuillard was doing presses with 225 pounds, and the other two were counting.With a shock he realized that they were in the 90s.“94.95.96.97.98.99.100.” The man set the weights down.He didn’t seem fazed or tired in the slightest.Corporal Owens took his place and began pumping out the repetitions.“Not bad,” said Calvin.“Obviously they got some pretty good endurance modifications from the medibot.”“They ran out of something they needed to do the bio-modifications on Domus,” said Master Chief.“Those three got their implants but didn’t get their mods; they get them next week.”“Really?” asked Calvin.“Holy crap!”“Yeah,” agreed Night.“They’re brutes.”Bridge, Drakul Ship Destruction of Olympos, COROT-7 System, January 3, 2021Captain Bullig stretched.If he was going to die, he thought, at least he was going to do it in style.Although the Overlord still obviously bore him a grudge, even the Overlord had seen that Bullig needed more firepower to break into the new system and had given him one of their new dreadnoughts to use as his flagship.Built in the 54 Piscium system by some of their feeder races, the ship was made for Drakuls.Built on the Mrowry dreadnought design that was in the replicator they had captured, the feeder race had expanded it so that the ceilings were 15 feet high.Unlike the Mangler, he could move about freely without crouching everywhere he went.Although he had disagreed with the Overlord’s policy of allowing limited freedom for some of the members of captured species (he had only disagreed to himself; disagreeing with the Overlord publicly tended to decrease one’s lifespan significantly), this was one example of where they were helpful to have around.Drakuls were warriors and didn’t have time for things like building.He couldn’t wait for the rest of the fleet to be assembled.This was going to be fun [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
