House Of Curtis

[Gypsie Skripto]

Captain Wilson runs through the corridors of the villa at the Twin Peaks Estate. He suddenly stops at a double door, Fixes his uniform, and knocks.

The voice of an old man shouts - Who is it?! Didn't I tell you not to disturb me on my nap?!

- Lord William! It's me! Captain Wilson! May I come in? It's really bad!

- Come in lad, come in.

- Lord William - says the captain as he salutes - The Kusari rats have taken over the Stokes Mining Facility. Word is that they will start siege on Leeds in just a few days.

- Good Lord of heaven - says Lord William. Then he stares fixedly at the emblem of his family on top of a fireplace for a second. -We will have to part to Curacao. Edinburgh is not an option anymore, since the Kusarians are moving so fast.

- Indeed milord. I have already sent order to prepare for departure the Greyhounds that young Lord Ian sent us. The crew are already helping to get on board our men and their families. I'll tell them right away that we are heading to the Cortez system.

- What about the mercenaries you told me about? Have you contacted them already? - asked Lord William.

- Your son Ian told me he would contact them himself. By now he may have already done it. Sir we must hurry. We leave to the spaceport bunker at night.

- That would be enough for me to say goodbye to this lands. Oh dear! My father, and his father, and all Curtis Lords where born here - a tear falls from one of his eyes - thanks captain, get back to work now. I will tell the news to my wife.

- Lord William - says the captain as he salutes and leaves...
