Chapter Fourteen: Somewhere Anywhere Nowhere

Twin Paradox Book One

We continue with Part 3: Journey and Conquest. Luigi Cadorna, Commander of the Earth Colony on Kapteyn B, has become a real nuisance and not only that, dangerous. Captains Stehter and Berwick are at their wits end coming up with a solution to the problem. On his best days Cadorna is a petty tyrant, rebuking and redressing subordinates over the mildest of infractions. On his worst, he abuses them with foul language, calling them horrible names and reducing some of them to tears. Berwick and Stehter figure it won't be long before colonists - especially female crew members - hatch a plot to assassinate the man. It certainly wouldn't be difficult to carry out such a deed!
However, that's when B.J. offers an alternative ... one only she could carry out successfully.
Her plan is a simple one: seduce the bombastic fellow and become his girlfriend until the colony is completed. Make love to him; try and re-balance his mind. If it works, it'll be a tremendous relief to the colonists and crew. The trick will be in convincing the little creep of her sincerity.
