The rest of the meal was spent in pleasant conversation. They knew much and were interesting story tellers. They were going to take Thelma's world by storm.
That afternoon, they, along with the escorted prisoners and the Diplomatic Legations--people Walter didn't want--left for Thelma's time and space. They carried with them a dispatch from me to Thelma, suggesting she go into the Real Estate Business. She had land. I would be sending her customers. I knew she would appreciate that.
Then I instructed the DO to set sail for Sante Fe New Mexico, 21 September, 1854. We were going to invite a Marshall Dillard AKA Pierre La Fuette to the party.
GLOSSARY
ARK A ship 500 miles long, by 200 miles wide, by 5 miles high. In the middle is a Habitat 400 miles by 150 miles by 2 miles. Remainder; is ships bays, quarters, various maintenance shops, messes and a large Med Deck.
ARK -- Habitat Front one third is used by the Regiments, mountainous landscape, and 1.5 Earth gravity. Rest is flat grassland with a forest around the edges. Has a central lake and around the lake Central City.
ABSORBER --- Device primarily in Negative Space which absorbs and stores light and energy. Procedure reversible on demand.
COLD FUSION REACTOR --- ELC or TORQUE Uses two, or three man made compounds which will not co-exist in a confined space to produce a reaction -- thereafter, usual -- heat -- steam -- turbine sequence.
DAMPENER --- Electronic force field which forms instantly around exploding bombs and contains them.
DO --- Duty Officer Involved in second by second control of the ship.
DROP BACK/FORWARD --- Moving back and forth through time. Also SLIPPING.
ELDERS --- Ancient race unencumbered by anything, they prize ancient Earth as a vacation spot.
ESSENCES --- Souls---spirits---life units---theatans---bare bones basic individual.
FO --- First Officer subordinate to the Executive Officer.
H/FU---ELC / H/FU---TOQ --- Hydrogen Fusion Reactor, gets hydrogen by splitting water. ELC is a self contained unit which emits electricity, various voltages. TOQ has a shaft which turns at a fixed rate, comes in various sizes.
KENNING --- A method of education which concentrates upon methods and formulas, instead of rote remembering.
L/L --- Latitude / Longitude Imaginary lines, which intersect at right angles, on a globe, or a chart used to fix positions, or to navigate.
MATRIX---ANTI MATRIX --- Field of thought which views objects as their matrix (look at a Rubrics cube and take away the mass). Matrixes are many and symbiotic. Some are in Negative Space and push against their cousins in Positive Space. Procedure used to isolate/insulate ships hulls.
NEGATIVE SPACE --- The counter revolving universe which balances the positive universe, thereby allowing both to exist.
OIC --- Officer in Charge, of some function usually outside of the usual daily chain of command.
OUT OF PHASE --- A fold into the Negative Universe which results in a cessation of molecular activity.
PLASMA RIFLE/CANNON --- Fires a ball of electricity, consider, directed lightning.
SEED SHIP --- A very advanced CAD/CAM system with much memory which is in control of building what it designs using force fields.
TIME WAR --- Fought through trillions of years against an enemy which considers, and operates through time, as if all time, were present time. Consider a vine which sends out feelers, which put down roots, from which more feelers are sent etc. The vine could be thought to have the initial root in the past, and evolved. Usual consideration would be to say the vine is all in present time. Closer examination shows that not so.
TO&E --- Troop Organization and Equipment, How a particular group of soldiers are organized and equipped.
UNIVERSAL DRIVE --- Enables a ship surrounded by a Negative and a Positive force field (Results in no influence from either Universe) to rapidly move interstellar distances by focusing pusher/puller beams on three, or more, anchor points, usually large suns. The ship assumes any position in relation to the anchor points and can thereby, in effect, move through time by allowing for stellar drift.
VOREWELLEN --- Reg Speak - Roll over the bastards.
W/P --- White Phosphorous --- Burns through everything, usually sprayed out of bombs etc.
XO -- Executive Officer, subordinate to the Captain

WHEN YOU ENCOUNTER A ONE WAY, OR A TWO WAY TELEPATHIC COMMUNICATION IT WILL APPEAR LIKE THIS,
///When you encounter directions, vocal, or telepathic to a computer they will appear like this\
In crises -- most of the time -– the war room computer will broadcast a telepathic running commentary of readiness of different situations and systems

Human like from Irkilion IV
(A drab- exploited- polluted- early industrial world- poor health care- high early death rate- many countries, many personality based religions-frequently war between planetary alliances)
All of them are Reborn, on Ark I as the story starts and are two way telepathic
