More found in the Library, ..

Romana read the mission briefing papers for the umpteenth time, she actually knew them off by heart now, but was feeling very nervous, and just scanned the sheets in a robotic fashion.

The young girl had never been *personally-involved* with these sort of barbarians before, and the Neanderthals from this age certainly rated very high on the score board of what her refined society considered, .. Backward Folk!

A deep resonating boom echoed through the room she was in and it broke her concentration for a second as it threw her slightly forward.

Sighing deeply, the retired Peacemaker knew that it was just the bombs going off.

Regaining her stance, the weary woman once again looked at the papers in her hand, and re-read paragraph fifteen again with a scowl on her face.

She didn’t like it: not one little bit.

Looking round, Romana considered that the primates from this time line were so predictable! – That’s how they could trap them so easily. She knew that any minute now, they will all come running in here in a state of near total panic.

Like trapped animals looking for an escape route.

But there wasn’t one.

There would be no escape for any of them.

Her smile turned into a cruel grimace as she reflected that their miserable lives were about to turned inside out, and in here: they would be hers to do with as she pleased.

Coming out from her reverie, the woman on the cusp of deep pleasure glanced sideways at the huge silver sphere that she was standing next to. The sphere, (slowly revolving in its silver lattice stand), buzzed lightly.

Romana frowned, and looked down at the sheets in her hand, then nodded to herself at its suggestion. Reaching back she placed them discreetly behind the rostrum, saying as she did. “Yes: it wouldn’t give the right impression to be seen with them. For this to work: I must seem to be strong, I must dominate them from the outset.” The ball buzzed again, looking round at it she smiled saying. “No, they are only animals, and any animal can be trained: they will be easy to train.”

Turning back round, she waited patiently, but was eager for God’s glorious mission to begin.

Thanks for reading, Jessica: Praise be the ORI.
