My sword and eyes blaze with holy light.
"I will kill you infidels for what you have done," I say, my voice hard as steel.
"You are safe, my lady," I say to Lady Blue.

"Kill them... I'll kill them..." I mutter. I still feel odd, and can't move a lot on my own. "Help me up..."

I glow with holy light, and healing energy envelops Lady Blue.

I feel my wounds heal, and my mind clear, but the memory of what happened and the indignity remain. "Thank you... I... I guess I was stupid to go out on my own,. I never even had a chance to get a shot off."

I glow again and two auras envelop Lady Blue.
"I shall ensure that it does not happen again," I say calmly.

"Thank you... I'm afraid now... We need to get back to the ship. Once we get there I'll feel safe. And I'll kill these bastards no matter what the cost, they deserve to die!"

"Of course, my lady," I say, as I open a gate and return us to the ship.

I immediately go to my quarters, shower and put fresh clothes on. I put the old ones in a garbage bag and make a mental note to toss them into one of the boilers later. As soon as I look presentable I go to the bridge and call Anima to my side. "I want Mr. Holmes here on the double. I've got an assignment for him. Navigator, set a course for the coast of Amstradam, keep us about 40 miles offshore for the moment."

I stand at Lady Blue's side.
"My lady, to ensure that such a thing will not happen, I have taken extra measures for your protection."

"Thank you. Now it's time for revenge. I need Mr. Holmes to find the exact location of the anarchist base for me." I turn to my chief gunner. "Inform the gun crew that I want the 16-inchers loaded with contact rounds, and contact rounds on primary reload, proximity on secondary, nuclear on +5."

"If I may, I would like to take part in the attack," I say.

Holmes, disguised as the elderly woman with the pink hat, big dress and cane, returned home. He opened his creaking oak door and sat down in his chair, too tired to get out of costume. He was feeling satisfied with the dirt he had dug up, although that really wasn't his field. He was a detective who would work and take cases that Red Infinity would not; mainly because Red Infinity was behind it.
He noticed his house was much cleaner, that was a good thing. The new maid was working out pretty well.

"Okay, I would like that if you would. After I finish shelling their base I'll have you go in to make sure everyone's dead. I don't plan to nuke them if I don't have to, and sending you in helps me avoid that." I sit uncomfortably in my captain chair. The seas are mild, unusual for this time of year... On a whim I have the ship brought up to full speed. Sure it'll cost a little more coal, but I have a lot more of that then I have patience...

I nod and fold my arms, waiting for our arrival.

"I thought I had asked for Mr. Holmes. Please tell him to come here now." I say impatiently. I am consumed with lust for revenge, eagerly awaiting it's bittersweet taste...
