This chapter opens with the Supreme Commander safely enjoying her day at the mosque in Casablanca.

I would give anything to see that view from her room. Would you? If no...Why not?

That evening, watching the Evening News on TV, the Supreme Commander was shockingly surprised by the 'Breaking News. The JP Morgan deal is off the table.

Hmmm. I think heads will literally roll over this fiasco. You agree or disagreed?

Steaming toward the United States is the Provenance. There are four F35s military jets headed toward the Provenance on a recon mission? What is the Goal?

The real question: Will they take the Provenance out if they need to?

The FBI and the forensic team is in the midst a tense meeting with Captain Bashir and deck officers when Tess and Isabella walked in uniforms that highlighted their girly figures.

Why is it that men are always distracted by sex...even as the world is accelerating toward a new normal? Why lord...why?

Chief of Security Aslan quickly put the FBI on notice. 'This ship is the sovereign property of Iran. You sir...have invaded us."

What will be High Commander Mustafa's reaction?

Gotta love Commander Tess response to the Seal Team Commander right?

As the FIB called out the dead and missing...I am thinking, "Damm, they are good." What about you?

As the British and Indian soldiers approach Aslan, my adrenaline started flowing. What about yours?

I would love to see the scene on the big screen where the medical crew is asked medical questions they can't or refused to answer. Then see them handcuff and hand-delivered to the brig on the USS Barksdale-Cooper for their day of reckoning. How about you?

We observe power and authority transfer in a heartbeat. In effect...FBI Special Agent Darnell Walker is the Captain now. What’s going on in Captain Bashir mind right now?

The FBI Special Agent Darnell Walker has left thirty-three soldiers onboard to guard the passengers against harm. Genesis has over one thousand soldiers there...hidden in plain sight.

So...who has the upper hand here?

The Supreme Commander response....simply brilliant. You agree...yes?

That must have been one hell of a ride for the Captain, Tess, and Aslan.?

Could you have followed these orders without freaking out?

You look down thru the glass floor. The total darkness gives way to a faint all-encompassing light...from a huge glass earth-like sphere. What are you thinking?
