Dreamscape....

Log by Ranger (Arch Angel):

 

Looking up at the interspersed clouds of salmon colored space clouds of dust against the star and planetary filled sky,actually the moon that orbited and added an almost ghostly hue to the various colors of near and distant astral bodies are just a few of the benefits of rising early in the morning on the small planetoid he and his wife ,and child called home now.

 

The profession he pursued has paid off in ways that other venues may well have not..here out on the outer rim,on his small chunk of dirt he could live,love his wife,and his son with no interference,from a cold and uncaring galaxy,no strife..with the ocassionial exception of burrowing mole like creatures that fed upon the crops of vegetables and wheat he so enjoyed growing....and that was neglible,they must eat to.

 

He turned towards the direction of home..watching as the sun began to rise ...taking in the creeping brilliance of the light as it hastily invaded the shadow of night,there in the distance he could see the wafting curl of smoke rising from within the modest stone and wood manor they called home.

 

The scent of a freshly prepared meal seemed to drift lazily down the sloping hill towards him,,as if beckoning him to hurry and join in the morning feast wrought by loving hands,his wife appeared in the doorway,along with tommy their son..he was jumping up and down,waving happily.

 

Taking in a deep breath ,and closing his eyes he filled his nostrils with the scent now gathered around him,he listened to the laughter of his son,the almost school girl giggles,from Electra his wife full well knowing she was goading him to hurry she knew he could smell the rich fragrance of the oil she had placed in her hair he had gone to great expense to get her for her birthday,an oil from Terra,..a blend of various herbs and flowers that are indigenous there...she was well worth it.

 

Opening his eyes...smiling,he proceeded to walk at a steady pace through the field of wheat,it was now about thigh high,and would be ready for the harvest very soon,increasing his gate he watched as Electra patted Tommy and motioned him inside and get ready to eat...begrudgingly as most young children do he turned,head down,and obeyed..however not before breaking away and running to Ranger,jumping up into his arms for a quick embrace,I love you father was his quick word,and then he rushed to do his mothers bidding..I love you too son.

 

 

Electra,her hands placed firmly on her hips ,taking on a stern visage on her beautiful olive skinned face,those blue eyes betrayed her ...she could not keep the facade of anger up,and Tommy knew it as he ran by her,pausing only to say I love you mother,and proceeded into the house.

 

Electra my love you are as beautiful as the day we met,I swear you even gain more beauty as the days pass...she smiled,walked over,placed her arms around me,her raven colored hair gently swaying from the natural wave it has,she looked me straight in the eye...and you my husband,are a hopeless romantic,smirking grin beginning to grow on her face,and I would not desire you any other way...she whispered in his ear so softly as a soft morning breeze I love you...but I am hungry,she turned and said last one in to eat has to cleanup.

 

Throwing his hands up,as if in a sign of surrender...you win the race I am too tired to run right now,come lets just go in and eat,I will help you clean up ,upon entering the kitchen one could really take in the delicious aroma from the food on the table before them,after eating,and cleaning as promised he went out to the patio ,one of his as well as Electras favorite spots,Tommy was playing with Ralph...a small reptilian creature from the Andromeda galaxy,a cross between a lizard,and a puppy dog was my reaction when his mother and he first brought it home...I have always maintained it to be so ugly...however it has been a good and faithful companion the three years Ralph has been here to Tommy,and my wife during the times I have been on a job contract.

 

The morning seemed to pass all to quickly,I awoke from what appeared to be a nap as Electra was gently pulling my hand come to bed love,you will be leaving tomorrow on another one of your jobs,that I detest by the way...please come with me..she kept tugging,tugging,tugging....

 

I opened my eyes expecting to perceive my beautiful Electra only to be shocked to see the visage of Trank and some of the sec team standing around me,pain was shooting up my left leg,looking down I could see the obvious deformation to it,I looked around,almost as if waking from a dream.

 

The sec teams had apparently followed Tranks orders to handle it,obviously when I went under,Trank has just finished speaking to the strangers on the shuttle craft....I began to think ,was this a dream,or perhaps an omen,perhaps I should go home,afterall we have more than enough for the rest of our lives.

 

Propping up on a crate placed on the ground for me..waiting for the strangers to come out of that ship...I do not desire to harm them,or anyone for that matter...just my job,and should I not do as my duties are defined...there may be repercussions that could be far reaching,even with the secrecy,and security I have painstakingly performed,they may try to take revenge on me through Electra,and Tommy...that I will not,and cannot allow,perhaps we can end this soon....perhaps I may return home soon...to my dream scape...:: End Log::
