Ages - Kurtherian Gambit - The Kurtherian Gambit

Never Surrender >>

Going through the Annex Gate, and the first battles with the Yollins takes up the major portion. Bethany Anne helps people get settled, those who stay on Earth, and those who come with her. Quite a few miscellaneous details are cleaned up before Earth is abandoned. The First Battle with the Yollins is exciting, as is her personal combat with the Yollin King, to win the planet. Enhanced dogs create amusing by-play, as do Pepsi and Coca Cola, and All Guns Blazing.

All Guns Blazing; Barnabas, Nathan & Ecaterina

Chapter 25

Secret meeting room, planning a birthday party for Bethany Anne. Almost all of the Etheric Empire notables. TOM annotated the date as the one on which she came out of the Medi-pod, changed (June 14th). Problem to solve- How, in sspace, are they going to handle her Coke addiction?

Barnabas goes to Baja California (Better flavor from there-uses real cane sugar, not corn fructose), to see Andre Batten, a higher-up member of the Coca Cola Co. in Mexico. (ADAM and TOM already have the recipe, but won’t tell anyone because they don’t want to miss the fun. Barnabas as substitute waiter, asks about Coca Cola, reads man’s mind for recipe. Leaves. Tabitha also will try to steal a coke recipe in New York.

Nathan and Ecaterina to try for a Pepsi Recipe (Ecaterina's favorite!), go out to dinner, and celebrate their anniversary.

Bobcat needs his beer, so go to Germany to get latest containers and vats they could buy to produce beer to last for centuries.Would also try to corner market on Coke production. Also wanted 100 small set-ups for beer production, to sell to other so that they would make beer to sell at All Guns Blazing. Went to local pub, trying beers, doing “research”.

Peter lost his bet (team that attacked Yollin 21’s power rooms and shut down the fleet cloaking won the bet,( ”specifically Team Empress Cats’ blowout success was instrumental") , so he rewarded them with 5 oz. of gold for the bar tab, congratulated them, and left. Marcus and William find kittens in pallets of beer equipment they had shipped up.

Stole Pepsi Recipe, which was stolen from them, now on Yoll as an illegal drink. Making lots of money for Bethany Anne, as she has one vital ingredient (coriander), which doesn’t grow on Yoll. Will use money earned to finance Yoll’s agricultural program. Barnabas muddled their memories, so they wouldn’t tell a lie to Bethany Anne about it. (Ranger’s decision , justice)

During the fight, Families of the highest caste were readying their weapons to challenge whomever won, as that one would be too weak to be able to fight off more attackers. Sacred curtain dropped, as King was stating that Yoll was just the first race that he had subjugated, and that he had written the Sacred Text. They were HIS rules! Kael-ven came into field and shot the King with a Jean Dukes, blowing his head off. The audience started calling him by name - Kael-ven showed videos of three families planning to attack, then stated that there would be no more caste system on Yoll.
