4. Adventures of Space Cadets 101: Back At It on Two Fronts
Introduction - Summation of Books 1 and 2
In book one, Adventures of Space Cadets 101: Space Pirates, Allies, and Aliens, brothers Austen and Derek Houston captain their ship The One-Oh-One into space. While they are investigating Professor Cross' ship, Earth Defense (ED) comes onboard the 101 looking for JR, the oldest Houston brother who is wanted on earth for criminal activity. JR, though illegally aboard, secures his right to his brothers' protection when he keeps Extra Terrestrials from kidnapping his teenaged nephew, Kirk. When the Space Cadets finally make it to Jupiter Station they find that Space Pirates have taken it over, but Kirk and JR take care of the problem. Derek is shot up by Space Pirates and loses his memory - even the memory of his proposal of marriage to Deana Kester. ED makes the new 101 retreat into an armada of Space Pirates. They are rescued by alien friends, the Lizardians, and taken into deep space where the two new allies answer a distress signal.
In book two, Adventures of Space Cadets 101: Invasions, t he Space Cadets saved Earth from the Trex and the Leonsians, thanks to their new space ship they found and dubbed " The Turtle ." They discovered the vessel on the planet Kess to which they are returning. JR, the brother of Co-Captains Derek and Austen Houston, is in charge of the space pirates and no longer a wanted man by Earth's law enforcement agencies. Jupiter Station was destroyed in the invasion of Earth, but it is being rebuilt by the Space Cadets, as are secret bases on both the outer moons, Europa and Titan.
The planet Kess now is populated by citizens from several worlds and is the birthplace and home base of the Alliance of Planets, an organization made up by the Houstons to protect Earth, Scunrus, Lizarde, Kess, and all of the shipping lanes among these planets. At least the space Cadets finally made it to Earth for shore leave which is something they'll never forget.
From invasions at Earth to saving the universe, the Space Cadets are always up to the challenge. They now own the most powerful starship and they aren't afraid to use it. They are constantly training to be ready for whatever comes their way.
Look for the next The Adventures of Space Cadets 101 for more excitement and new friends.
Chapter 1
PROMOTIONS
In the conference room, past the big table there was a desk that so far was only for two commanders aboard the Turtle : Commander Dale Hawkins and Commander Deana Kester. On this late shift, the beautiful Ms. Kester was sitting at the desk. It was a mahogany desk and it was good enough for a president. It wasn't that big a room, but it was big enough for what it was used for.
She was ordered to interview all of the new cadets that had joined the Turtle from the second wave of recruits. She was half way through her list and her next appointment was late, ten Earth minutes late to be exact. It was her job to find out who vouched for each cadet, and to find a suitable job onboard the Turtle depending on each cadet's qualifications.
Nick Turozski entered the conference room wearing his civilian clothes. He was tall and built sturdily with brown eyes that reminded Deana of both Turtle captains, and he was the same age they were. Also, she already knew of this cadet from her earlier days back on Earth in Florida, from hanging out with the Houston boys during their musical days. She did not like Nick for personal reasons, and the feeling was mutual.
When he entered she said, "You're late, Mr. Turozski."
He came up to her desk and swung his long right leg over the empty chair. As he sat down he said, "So what? I'm here aren't I?"
She smiled at him while containing her fury and reminded him that punctuality was a must in space and on the ship. Nick said, "I'm only here because my friends, the captains on this ship, said I had to be here. So what's next?"
She smiled again remembering that this jerk was the captains' best friend, and she didn't want to be uncomfortable around the captains, especially Derek, for whom she had more than a thing. She was going through his folder and said to him without looking his way, "I think the best job for you would be the cook on this ship."
His reply was, "Well I really don't care what you think, Commander. I am probably the best engineer on this ship and you want to put me in the galley?"
She said, "No offense, Cadet. I just know for a fact that you're a pretty great cook, and also, you have a limp from that automobile accident, so I thought I was doing us both a favor, that's all."
He laughed and said, "Whatever. Now let me tell you what my job is. The captains said that eating the food on this boat will cure me of my limp thanks to the nanites which make up the food. And as for what I am to do, it is to pilot my own ship. So what you will do is give me a list of the available ships in the Q-hangar bay so I can pick one out. And I will let the captains know just how much of a help you've been. Got it?"
She was really getting upset, but she was between a rock and a hard place, so she tried a different tactic on this intolerable man, "Look, Mister, I know for a fact that you smuggled drugs onboard the Turtle , and for that I could hand you over to Earth Defense!"
He interlocked his hands behind his head and put his feet up on her desk. He said, "You go right ahead and do that, Missy, but I'm pretty sure you'd have to run it by the captains first, and all that will do is get you into hot water with them. Besides, the drugs you mentioned were grown in earth, and do you really think that the captains, your bosses, aren't aware of what I brought onboard my new home?"
She was boiling mad now at this smug cadet, so she stood up quickly and demanded that he remove his smelly feet from her desk right that instant! He did remove them and then he stood up himself. He put his fists on her desk and leaned in closer to her face and said, "My feet do not smell, Your Worthlessness, and now about that list of ships, Sir." He held out his hand and waited.
Checkmate. She couldn't do much of anything, so she sat down and typed something on her laptop. Seconds later, a list was being printed out to a tiny disk. She removed the disk and handed it to him. He took it from her and thanked her, and then he told her to have a good night as he left the room. She thought to herself that she would adequately analyze the situation later on.
She pulled out the next folder from a pile on her desk and read the name, Kynthia Rodgers. She asked the Turtle to send Cadet Jackson to her office immediately. Kynthia was the only single pregnant cadet onboard the Turtle , and the Commander was going to need Jackson's help in dealing with her. The pregnant cadet was twenty-five years old and was going to have the first baby born on the Turtle . Deana was a little jealous whether she knew it or not.
Cadet Jackson came in and asked her what was up. Deana said, "I'm going to try and talk Kynthia into returning to Earth. I just want you here for support - not hers, mine." She was going to tell the cadet that the captains didn't want that kind of responsibility, so they had asked Deana to talk her into go back home. At least that was going to be Deana's story.
Knock, knock, came at her door; she said, "Enter."
Later, Captain Derek was summoned to the conference room, and as he approached the door a pregnant cadet came out of the room crying as she ran by him. He called out her name but she kept on running away from him hysterically.
When he entered he saw Lynn Jackson sitting at the desk with Deana behind it. He grabbed a chair from the table away from the desk and slid it to
