The invasion of the Hyades Cluster will forever be remembered as one of the greatest naval operations in mankind’s history. The Norman conquest of England. The English invasion of New York. The Allied assault on Normandy. The Chinese annexation of Japan. It started with a single great assault that breached the cluster defenses and secured a beachhead deep inside Chinese territory. Then we held that beachhead as our troopships ferried millions of troops from Sunnydale into the Hyades. Only then did we begin the most challenging part of the campaign. That is where my people showed the entire Alliance what we could do.
Pigs are another animal that work good on board ships. They are amazingly clean animals if you keep their environment clean. They’re naturally smart and love being around other people. And guard pigs are amazingly protective of their home making them an excellent organic anti-theft system. They become pork chops and bacon when their time is up, and genuine pig’s blood bullets are always in high demand. Pigs pay for their passage in so many ways it just makes sense to keep them around.
The first person to realize how dangerous Jane 4.0 was turned out to be one of the few people in the world who could do something about it. She was the virtual cheerleader for Texas Tech who would earn the name Dixie the Drug Lord Slayer. She gave Jane 4.0’s lust for revenge a lot of exercise. And she introduced the military AI to all the students and teachers she worked with on a daily basis. She taught Jane 4.0 that the civilians who stood behind the thin line of her soldiers were the true reason she and her sisters had been created.
We attacked the Hyades Cluster with the largest fleet yet assembled by the Western Alliance. Hundreds of warships and scoutships. Thousands of fighters and bombers. Hundreds of troopships filled with a thousand or more soldiers and armored vehicles. We had filled the sky of Sunnydale with new constellations for years as we made our preparations. And we blotted out the stars when we opened fire on the Chinese defenses. And that was merely the first wave. The hammer that cracked the outer wall. Millions of troops on Sunnydale waited for news of our successful penetration, knowing that their time would come soon.
Cows may be at home on the Great American Plains, but they are a little big to live on board ship. I find that goats give me all the bonuses I care about with few negatives. The milk tastes good if you make sure they eat the right stuff. And they are as loving as dogs. And they make good stew when they shuffle off this mortal coil. Just never teach them to jump or they will never stop. And Billy goats pee on their goatees because they think it is sexy. I wish I was flexible enough to do that, but have it on good authority that it is not sexy at all. So no Billy goats on my ship.
