“I agree,” Marrek said. “Catching them at it is the hard part. They often take a roundabout route back to their home world. So, it’s better to get the abductees from the Tenzari before they leave Alliance Space.”
“No doubt,” Zeke agreed. “And more cost effective as well. We left a lot of gold on Se’Nar to get those ladies back.”
“Well worth it considering yourmeomeewas among them.”
“I was so not ready for that,” Zeke chuckled. “But now I wonder how I went through life without her.”
“I could say the same. Did your females accept the invitation to attend Meg’s conference for the abductees?”
“Yes, they’re with her now,” Zeke replied. “How did those pirates get that information? Our computer security is far advanced compared to Earth.”
“Bribery and human intervention. We have agents on Earth, and they have agents on Earth.
“I hear the High Council on Narova is petitioning the Alliance to open relations with Earth and offer them full membership in the Alliance,” Zeke said.
“It’s true. There are too many places for the Tenzari to hide their bases on Earth. We just don’t have the personnel or ships assigned to this system to catch them all---but we keep trying. Once we open relations and alert them to the problem, they can help take steps to stop it.” Marrek said. “I will definitely keep you in mind for assistance if the circumstances warrant. Taking the abductees to theirmeomeeson Narova is a big help right now. I’m anxious to get back into the Sol System to keep Earth protected.”
“No problem,” Zeke said. “It wasn’t in my plans until I foundmeomee.Then it became important for me to go back and show her my home world and introduce her to my parents and sister.”
“Someday, I hope to do that with Meg,” Marrek nodded his understanding. “I just don’t think that’s going to happen anytime soon.”
“Thank you, Captain Marrek for taking the time to discuss this with me,” Zeke stood and gave a nod of his head in salute.
Marrek did the same.
Zeke added, “Feel free to contact me anytime I may be of service.”
“I appreciate that,” said Marrek. I suspect you will have a passenger or two bound for Earth when you are ready to leave Narova.”
“Our kind who were rejected by theirmeomees?”
“Exactly.”
