very good! I read every bit!
Here's a few excerpts from my Trilogy, 2476:
I. Rise of the Empire
*******************************************************************
I was just a boy when the stars fell from the sky. I remember gazing up at the night sky, watching the mesmerizing flashes of green and red light. As the flashes got bigger, the stars began to plummet from the heavens, streaking across the calm night. I stared in awe as their brilliant glow illuminated the distant heavens, steadily falling to their doom.
*******************************************************************
“So tell AvtoVaz you want a truck meeting those standards! What, have none of you seen a picture of America?! They make trucks like that every f***ing day! We barely even make cars anymore, and these Japanese trucks… What, Isuzu? They are small, they have a 3 liter engine... they are s***! I want someone to go to Ural and tell them this is what you are going to make! I want a 1 ton pickup, with a two seats. I want a 2.5 meter box, a 6 liter motor, and a five speed manual transmission! None of this automatic junk coming from the lazy west. I want it to have four wheel drive on demand, that way we save fuel! You write all that down Malenkov?!” Daniel yelled, pointing at General Yuri Malenkov, head of Research and Development.
The room fell silent for a few moments from the anger of Daniel. Malenkov jumped, then frantically wrote down the requirements, placing the paper in his briefcase. Malenkov then pulled another paper from his case and began to address it.
“Tovarisch Komandier, I feel I must bring up project 524…” He said.
The entire room fell silent, and began to stare at Malenkov. Daniel would be the first to address him.
“What about project 524?” He asked.
“We have run simulations, and we have found that the science is in fact possible. We are about to begin production on the first prototype, but there are a few bugs we must work out.” Explained Malenkov.
“What kind of bugs Malenkov? This weapon has to work. Do you even understand the potential of this bomb?” Asked Daniel.
“Tovarisch Komandier, there are several… Moral issues with this weapon. The world is trying to get away from nuclear weapons. The fact that the explosion would rival that of a hydrogen bomb, but not give off radiation makes it simple to decide to use. The might of Project 524 could lead to its abuse. Plus, the Americans’ would get jealous; and if it is used against a nuclear armed nation, they may fire nukes back.” Said Malenkov fearfully.
“Malenkov, I don’t care about ‘moral ramifications’-” Said Daniel, cut off by an officer opening the door and running in.
“Tovarisch Komandier,” The officer said as he saluted Daniel and handed him an envelope.
****************************************************************************************************
“I will listen to him Papa…” Said Daniel softly.
Viktor closed his eyes and began to softly sing. Daniel joined him, and together they sang the anthem.
“Unbreakable Union of freeborn Republics,
Great Russia has welded forever to stand.
Created in struggle by will of the people,
United and mighty, our Soviet land-”
Viktor’s voice faded, and his heart rate flat-lined. Fully sobbing, Daniel continued to sing as he felt his father’s hand go limp.
“Sing to the Motherland, home of the free,
Bulwark of peoples in brotherhood strong.
Oh Party of Lenin, the strength of the people,
To Communism's triumph lead us on…”
Daniel slowly let go of his father’s hand. The sobbing intensified as Daniel and Katya held each other very tight. The then door flew open as doctors rushed to Viktor’s bed. The doctor Daniel had spoken with before held his stethoscope to Viktor’s chest. He waited a few seconds, and then his head sunk. He pulled the stethoscope out of his ears and looked towards Daniel.
“I am sorry Premier Korsakov; he’s gone.” Said the doctor, “We will give you a few moments.”
Daniel and Katya held each other close as the cried into each other’s shoulders. Daniel looked back towards his father’s body, noticing that he looked like he was just sleeping. He laid peacefully, with what almost looked like a smile on his face.
“Da svidanya, Papa…”

II. Return of the Traitor
**************************************************************
The airfield was just beyond the command center, and was under the complete control of the prisoners. Daliekov and the others began to run towards the many transports, all of which were capable of space travel. He paused for a second to look up, noticing the noise in the sky had changed. High in the sky, quite a distance away, a formation of K-19K7 bombers flew overhead. Daliekov knew the camp had no bombers, which meant they were coming to bomb the uprising.
“Bombers! ************ run! Go go go as fast as you can! Get these transports in the air now or we’ll never ********** make it!” He yelled, beginning to sprint.
Inmates looked up, and then threw their weapons down to run faster. Hundreds of survivors bolted for the planes, running for their lives. Everyone sprinted to the planes, running up the loading ramps and frantically getting inside. The pilots began starting the engines as the crowds surrounded the transports, desperately trying to get inside. When the last of them hopped on board, the ramps were barely up when the transports began to rise off the ground.
At this point, the bombers were right overhead. The bomb-bay doors opened and the ordinance cylinders rotated, dropping a pod full of bombs. The casings broke away as the bombs began separating, falling to the ground. Most of the transports had gotten out of the way, but the last in line was struck by a bomb. Daliekov looked back and watched as it was torn to shreds, crashing to the ground in a fiery explosion.
*******************************************************
“So you hear news? There was riot at Tanguska. Over four-hundred prisoners escaped.” Asked Tsvirkunov.
“And the others?” Asked Bielikov.
“Dead... and our old friend was not among them.” Tsvirkunov said.
“Daliekov…” Replied Bielikov fearfully.
“They think he started riot, and the prisoners may have defected to America. Do you know what this means?!” Asked Tsvirkunov angrily.
Bielikov looked around, then whispered, “He will stop at nothing to get revenge, and the ship back. He’s probably already joined the Confederates. He will start a war! He must be stopped.”
“Unfortunately, you right Bielikov. I know that man, very well. He will die before he gives up revenge. He cannot be underestimated. He was brilliant tactician; he just escaped most heavily guarded prison in solar system for god sakes! He is a manipulator; who knows who he is capable of tricking?!” Asked Tsvirkunov angrily.
“We must keep on our guard. The Confederates always remember who their friends are. Let’s just hope Johnson’s memory not that sharp.” Said Bielikov.
***************************************
Krinkov pulled himself together and took a deep breath. He then walked towards the girls. Khalkov followed, thinking of his strategy with Natasha. Natasha was only a few years older than Anna, but both were still much younger than the boys. She was taller, and not as petite. She wore her brown hair up and a deep red dress. Just as Khalkov and Krinkov got near, two space marines from another ship approached the girls. They tried their pickup lines, which were only met with laughter from the girls. Khalkov tapped the bigger one on the shoulder and addressed him.
“Hey Bruno, these girls not digging your machoness. Why don’t you go look for trashy locals to bring back to your bulldog?” He said sternly.
(Bulldog being a fast assault ship used to carry marines to board enemy vessels)
The marine turned around and calmly said, “The **** you going to do about it, prissy?”
Khalkov chuckled, then unclipped the flap on his holster, flashing his photon pistol. He then said, “Remember pridurok, only officers allowed to carry side arms off duty. I wouldn’t want to make a mess on these nice floors.”
The marine looked to the other and said, “Idyom,” as he began to walk away.
Krinkov looked at the smaller one and yelled, “What?!” as he jerked his shoulders threateningly. Marine shot him a death glance as he followed the bigger marine. The girls were impressed by the performance, giggling back and forth to each other.
“That was some heavy stuff Yakov.” Said Natasha.
“Well, it pains me to see grease-ball marines hit on such exquisite nurses.” Said Khalkov as he leaned against the bar next to Natasha.
Natasha began to blush and smile. She tried to look away from him, but couldn’t. She became lost in the spotlessness of his uniform, the smell of his cologne and the confidence in his smile. She always had a small crush on him, but now she had to fight the urge. Noticing the flap on his holster was still unclipped, she reached over and clipped it. He looked puzzled, then laughed a little.
“Sorry, I just like a uniform in perfect order.” She said sweetly, looking into his eyes.
Krinkov was attempting to speak to Anna, but was having a rough time. He was nervous and slightly shaking. She too was blushing and nervous; having never been in a club before, she wasn’t used to all the commotion and rash attempts to pick her up.
“Hey Anna, how you doing?” He asked her nervously.
“I’m okay.” She said blushing.
“I was ugh… wondering if maybe you…” Said Krinkov, being cut off in the end.
“Damn it Krinkov, don’t be a *****! You got to do
this!” Yelled Khalkov, grabbing Natasha by the waist and kissing her passionately on the lips. At first she tried to resist, but quickly wrapped her arms around him. Krinkov’s face became a crimson red as he tried to think of something to say. Anna then got up and grabbed his hands, looking into his bright red face.
“Dance with me?” She asked innocently.
Almost unable to speak, Krinkov smiled and said, “Da!”
