Mac spoke an intensity Dr. Rense could appreciate, “This last portion discusses the significance of the letter “A”. Mac continued, ‘ This part of her prime directive, permits Anna 7 to be the Aggressor. Mac chose to read this section word for word, to Dr. Rense, And I quote, ‘ exercising extreme force is licensed, to render ineffective by counterbalancing either by modification or destruction, any entities which undermine, circumvent or obstruct the laws, declarations or treaties of the Triumvirate. This force is sanctioned to inflict just punishment in return for or take revenge for, entities who suffer injury or wrongs, to the satisfaction of the Triumvirate.’ unquote.”

“In your opinion, you feel these directives are wrong?” asked the Dr. “No. I believe the CT and those administrating this program, would be better served if Anna 7, performed just one of these operations rather than the two.” Mac placed his hands in the air, as if to ask for more time to expound on his point. Mac also acknowledged the fact that the Triumvirate is so expansive, that law enforcement is very essential to the survival of the Consortium. They agreed the Consortium is huge, covering three galaxies and five or so star systems. Mac pointed out to the Dr. as he read more of the text, “That in order to stop atrocities, blood feuds between species, high crimes, disarmament of rogue regimes and piracy ….aaah, ….I see more examples here. That after much discussion, expressions through non-violent demonstrations, debates…….ah,.. ah, .. I see it .The Congress of the Triumvirate signed into law, powerful ordinances which proclaim that reasonable force may be applied to ensure the safety for all. ” Mac read the whole set of three policies. “Now I agree with the ideology based on these policies. But I’ll move on. To further express my point. You see, Anna is included in the enforcement policies also. “

“This second jurisdiction of authority she has to enforce is to serve in the ‘ Master Enforcement Champion ‘ program.” Dr. Rense kept on responding to Mac non-verbally, as he spoke more. “Anna has her own quadrant within the Congressional zones. Adjacent to my patrol area. Which is fine because we are enlisted in the Imperial Forces as an experimental tandem force But, Anna 7 also executes fugitive investigations, provides protection for CT court system personnel, does prisoner custody and transportation, witness security, asset seizure and of course…. let me see. There it is……ah,…ah,…..The catch all…. Here it is, …’special operations programs.”

Mac just stopped reading the documents and looked at Dr. Rense for some kind of reaction to his objections. Rense smiled, nodded her head and spoke, “I cannot say if these discrepancies you have brought to my attention, and which you perceive, are truly right or wrong. I see what you are saying. It is a lot to do. You feel this is entirely too much. The expectations are so high…so untenable, ….so you believe. Alright. Then, what would you change? What’s your solution? ” Mac went on to explain more, of the changes he would make.

“You do realize, that ANNA 7 is a creation. A machine, robot, a non-humanoid, a 47.7 % representation of the three, Consortium Triumvirate lawfully recognized type of humans. She is the property of the Triumvirate. Which means they will utilize her in whatever type of service they chose. You also know the importance of bringing all these diverse species together under the laws of the CT. Each day the CT moves closer and closer to its goal of unity, for us all. The CT is trying to embrace all the species under its control. That is why it is called the “Triumvirate.”

She paused before moving on, looking for some reaction from Mac. She got it. “Dr.., I am a warrior, in the 22nd Consortium Triumvirate Imperial Forces. I have taken an oath to the Constitution of the CT. All I am saying is this is a lot for one … ah,..ah,.. entity to do.”

Anna 7 continued checking all her weapons systems for the second time. She already checked in with General Ranee. The General had his aid-to-camp explain the logistics of the rescue mission and the other operational assets, who would engage with her at planet Sumohael. The life of the President of Eastern Continental Hemisphere must be saved. But, know since all systems had been checked out over and over again, Anna decided to play some of her music from her file.

Singing aloud, as her cockpit reverberated with the sounds of three songs she chose this time, being played over and over again in a loop. Anna’s sense of anticipation soared. According to her readings on the cockpit instrumentation, her ETA at this rate of parsec travel, had her only 35.3 minutes from the rescue mission site. This music always made her feel great before she went into “an intense situation.” The titles of the music, in the loop she chose this time was “The Duke of Earl “, “Layla “and of course “Wild Boys”.

Why does this music make her feel good?
Why is General Ranee at the 2nd Galaxy Command post?
