Band Of Seven!

Strapped into seats on the federation prison craft

held tight and secure waited

classed as dangerous rebels on a one way trip

to a distant prison colony

on a barren planet inhospitable and volcanic

to those there seemed satanic!

 

Somewhere that nobody had ever returned

they glanced knowingly

none had any intention of heading there

all had a chance to meet

when on remand a plan was secretly devised

their escape had been analysed!

 

Even in the far off future money was power

these fugitives soon to be

freedom fighters against a brutal federation

this prophecy yet to be realized

their shackles released by a bribed guard

who provided an override card!

 

The band of seven were now on the loose

a distraction had been arranged

one an expect locksmith and known thief

guided them to the escape pods

soon after a short skirmish they ejected

from their prison disconnected!

 

Into the void now with freedom flew

yet with huge uncertainty

their plan to get away from injustice

though two were criminals

united as one their bravery did tower

against a vast corrupt power!

 

Agitators to be removed orders given

by the supreme leader

false charges to make it legal for arrest

had to continue their opposition

now fleeing hoping for a miracle to show

their supporters to grow!

 

With their captors beginning to close in

before them a vast space craft

loomed into the groups disbelieving gaze

huge just drifting in space

its awesome design made their skin prickle

the adrenaline no longer a trickle!

 

Weary in their approach in case it was a trap

found the airlock and boarded

soon realising this was an abandoned ship

the gods had smiled upon them

certain a powerful force guided their actions

this the first of their infractions!

 

Entering the bridge in awe of this alien design

ancient technology yet superior

to any of the federations space battle cruisers

without touching anything it lit up

a voice in english welcomed the new captain

and crew to the Libertain!

 

Their crusade for justice and liberty had begun

now they fight or die until victory won!

 

At hyper speed the seven headed the charge!

The Experts!

The experts stood pondering over the plans

of this non existing facility!

Uncertain of how to penetrate its defences

designed to be impregnable.

Fully aware the self destruct was triggered

how to get in they figured?

 

Not for concern of the staff trapped far below

information in a black ops vault!

Had to be manually retrieved now at any cost

and advanced alien technology!

Where classified experiments were conducted

and space craft reconstructed!

 

Contact was lost so the urgency rose to red alert

what was happening below?

As special teams prepared to force their way in

time was rapidly running out!

The clock was against this highly risky mission

nearing destruction by nuclear fission!

 

Within this underground complex was turmoil

captured alien beings had escaped!

And were in total control intent on escaping

they started the chain reaction!

Eradicating their technology before it was used

that mankind had abused!

 

From space one large craft came rapidly down

leaving the cloaked mother ship!

Executed with precision and complete secrecy

communications not detected.

The aliens emerged through a remote air vent

as special forces made their descent!

 

The craft landed and the group quickly boarded

almost instantly it was gone!

Time had run out for the assault team and staff

there was a huge detonation.

Seismic activity spread for thousands of miles

never to be found in any files!

 

The truth would never be told!

It was not the only facility !
