The Tales of Sol 6 The Birth of the Guardian Angel That morning I got out of bed and went to the bathroom after a shower and a shave I finally got dressed and had breakfast then headed for the Power Plant. When I got there I showed the guard my ID and went in going to the front desk "Good Morning Susie, how are you this fine day?" I greeted "Good morning Mikkie," She said pleasantly "I am doing just fine," Susie gleamed "Dave is up in his office and waiting for you," Susie let me know we said goodbye and I went to the elevator. "Good Morning Dave," I greeted as soon as I was in his office "Morning how was your night?" Dave greeted back "Just fine," I lied "Well actually I have something to tell you when we aren't busy with this plant," I told him "Ok," Dave agreed We went on tour of the plant that day Dave wanted to stop and have a chat with each of his employees. Nothing major to see how his people were doing he took great pride in just listening to them. Hearing their complaints and worries sitting with them telling jokes Dave had told me once that if he is going to hire someone then he'd better get to know them. And part of being a boss is to see where he can improve his work area so that the Geo Plant was safe and effective. After the day was done we got into the secret subway and made our way to the Lair where I went to work on the Lair's new Holo-room I was well into it when Dave came in and asked, "So what was it that you wanted to tell me?" "I was wondering when you were going to ask?" I chuckled Dave just shook his head then asked, "So?" "I am going to combine mythology with Sci-Fi," I told him "Oh, how so?" Dave was interested "Before going to bed last night I popped in DVD it was one of my Babylon 5 collection," I told him "Anyway the ranger outfit and weapon they used," I wrapped up. Dave thought it over while I went back to putting the Holo-room together. "BEATTI, how is it looking?" I asked the computer "The imagine projection system still needs to be realigned," The Computer replied "Ok," I said "So Dave what do you think?" I asked "I am trying to picture it but I am having trouble seeing it," Dave declared "What's not to picture?" I asked as I tweaked another sensor node then the imagine processor "How is it now?" I asked BEATTI "We are almost there sir," She reported "What are we missing?" I asked "We still need a test subject to see if the Holo emitters are working," BEATTI reported "Then we'll use me as the guinea pig beside we need to make my costume," I said A beam of light shot out of the wall and began to scan me. A moment later a perfect image of myself was projected standing in the center of the room going over to it I touched the hologram and it was as solid as I was. "Mike Pennock you are a genius," I praised myself "I am impressed Mike I truly am," Dave awed as he too gave the hologram a pat. "Thanks," I responded "And thank you BEATTI," I added quickly "You are welcome sir," She replied "Now gain access to the world wide web," I ordered "Working," She said "Search for the words Ranger, Babylon 5," I requested "Working," BEATTI reported Waiting for her to compile the data Dave asked, "What will you use as a means of transportation?" "Still working on that one," I replied "Information found and downloading," BEATTI piped up In front of us was holographic version of a Ranger from Babylon 5 including the Pike they carried. "Ok using this uniform as guide, come up with what would look right on me," I told her "Working," BEATTI responded A second later a Holographic image of, myself in a Ranger's uniform the image showed me in a black long sleeved turtleneck with a long brown vest that stopped at the waist. The Pants were black, and a sleeveless cloak the front half was a brown color, and the back was black as were the shoulder pads. "What do you think?" I asked Dave He looked the image over from head to toe then said, "Ok I like it but we must do something about that face," "Thanks," I laughed "Well no-pun intended but we need to cover it up," Dave chuckled Thinking "Ok BEATTI now look up the word Techno-mage," I spoke A moment a Mage appeared with his hood up "ok add that hood to the cloak," I ordered My image changed now my costume had hood attach to it turning to Dave "What do you think now?" I asked "It's good but I am still afraid of what would happen if the hood is removed," Dave responded "Sheesh," I mocked annoyance "Ok let's add a separate mask," I said A brown mask appeared under the hood covering my eyes and nose but leaving my mouth free. "What do you think?" I asked Dave He looked it over again then said, "I like it," He told me "Though isn't a bit much?" Dave asked "Not really," I told him "But most superheroes costumes are simple and straight to the point," Dave pointed out "This isn't just a costume Dave at least not to me anyway," I responded "It is not?" Dave pondered "It is a uniform and one that I should take pride in wearing as well as fight in," I said solemnly "Ok I can see where you are coming from," Dave finally spoke after hearing my words "Awesome let's get to work," I said "No you are going to bed you've been working nonstop since we've been here," Dave commanded "And look how much I've accomplished," I pointed out "Yes and I am started to wonder if you're an insomniac," Dave wondered "No I just like to work," I told him "Yeah but this is too much," Dave pointed out. "I am fine Dave," I told him then headed home for the night. I was back at it the next day after being evicted from the Lair by BEATTI I came out the surface exit. The trees where coming along nicely I had chosen evergreens besides being beautiful they will never lose their leaves so they will be able to hide the Lair's surface entrance quite nicely. As I looked around the area expect for some rundown buildings I plan to add these in the future on top of the improved security system that I am having installed. There was nothing out here just fields as far as the eyes could see. My eyes fell a hanger off in the distance a rusty one at that what surprised me is that I never noticed it before. "Lovely view isn't it?" I heard from behind me "Yeah how often are you up here?" I responded "Only once or twice," Dave answered "Then have you ever seen that hanger?" I asked pointing at it "Why no I haven't," Dave stated after spotting the hanger in the distant. "How about we check it out?" I suggested "Good idea," Dave smiled We made our way to the hanger the main doors were closed and the smaller normal size doors were lock. "That strange, why would this abandoned hanger be locked?" I pondered "Good question," Dave agreed looking around I didn't see any runways what so ever this didn't make sense why build a hanger but no runway, A thought did hit me this could be an old Airship hanger back when Blimps were used in the service but after a quick look around with my knowledge of military installation it seemed plausible but there was still something wrong with this hanger being here. Of course this being an old missile silo they probably had close air support to defend it. Since the standard doors were all locked I tried my luck with the primary hanger doors but trying to move just one mammoth hanger doors was a monumental task that I haven't performed in months. Putting all of my strength into it and the door was barely budging it was like trying to move a beached ship with only my bare hands. Either way I wasn't getting anywhere fast. Grunting as the door finally started to budge I was able to get it wide enough so a person could fit through them. I stopped to catch my breath and rested as my muscles begged for the rest. Looking into the hanger it was still pitch black despite the light coming in. Getting up on wobbly legs I made my way into in mindful of what I couldn't see I heard Dave say, "I think we should have brought flash light," I didn't respond with four years under my belt I knew my way around hangers. Slowly making my way to where most hangers would have their fuse box. Feeling the walls trying find the fuse box when I felt something cold and solid feeling for the access lever flipping it the panel opened feeling inside the fuse box and just flipping every switch in it. One by one the overhead lights came on it was your average aircraft hanger. But what caught my attention was the most beautiful thing I have seen this side of an aircraft carrier. Moving towards the object and putting my hand on it to make sure it was real and not a figment of my imagination I was amazed to find a CH-53 Sea Dragon she was about 20 meters long and 7 meters high weight at a good 18 metric tons. The Chopper looked pretty beat-up and had some corrosion along her fuselage, But I didn't care she was a beauty. Running my hand along the chopper's fuselage, it could feel as if we were meant to be. "Would you like to be left alone?" Dave smirked I blushed a little then said, "No I am always willing to engage in a good threesome," This made Dave laugh still feeling the Chopper's fuselage I couldn't shake the thought that came to mind. `What was a multimillion dollar chopper doing here the military we usually good at keeping track of their equipment especially their aircraft. "Mike!" Dave called Moving his way there was a storage locker and it was locked. "This is weird an abandoned hanger with nearly perfect chopper and now a locked locker," I questioned The storage locker was just a chain link fence covered by dark plastic tarps "Any ideas, how to open it?" Dave asked "Not unless you have the keys," I shook my head. "How about we get back to the Lair maybe we can find something to bust the lock," Dave suggested "Sounds like a good idea," I replied We headed back for the Lair and while on the way I took in the surroundings. There's one thing I have to give my predecessors they know how to pick their sites, Which I am knew was more for security and less for beauty but the effect was there nonetheless. "Dave let's stop for a minute," I said a thought coming to my mind "What's up?" Dave asked "I was just wondering how often we just stop look at the treasures we have around us?" I inquired He looked around then said, "Honestly I don't know," The sky was bright blue and light fluffy clouds here and then, I took in a deep breath and just felt the life around me. We both took a much slower walk back to the Lair once we were there. I grabbed a high endurance bolt cutter and took it back to the hanger after cutting the lock and removing the chain "God I am such a thief," I laughed as I opened the gate. And inside the locker was a bunch of computer component basically monitors and keyboards, and the like. There was enough to start my own used computer store, "Ok this is weird," I retorted I knew things fell into the cracks when commands move but this is ridiculous. But at the same time I wasn't going to look a gifted horse in the mouth I could fix these up and use them. I got back to the Lair a few minutes later with a tower in hand "Well Dave I found out what is in that locker," I told him as I put the tower down. Dave looked and smiled, "Well I know what you are going to be doing," "Yeah that cage is filled with computer stuff," I told him "Well that is going to have to wait," Dave told me "Why?" I asked "Come with me," Dave just said We went to the locker room and before us was my new calling Dave had my new costume made "I don't believe it," I awed "Go ahead and try it on," Dave encouraged I went to put on the costume and when I pulled the hood up and the mask down I just felt different. I was no longer Mike Pennock I was now the Guardian Angel walking back to Dave and he just smiled "How do I look?" I asked "Hold on," Dave replied He left the locker room and came back with a cylinder then handed it to me. "What this?" I asked Stepping back then said, "You'll see," Seeing a button on the tube I pressed it and suddenly the cylinder shot out and became a six-foot long pole. "I did some research on the Rangers and found that their primary weapon was a fighting pike and since you need your own," Dave said Giving my Fighting Pike a couple swings getting a feel for it, it just felt right in my hands "Now I would say the Guardian Angel is complete," Dave announced "Not quite yet," I told him "What is missing?" He asked "She is in the hanger," I told him "And I was thinking we should include that hanger as part of the Lair," I suggested "It can work but how do we hide something that huge?" Dave asked "Well I could install solar panels and Holo-emitters to the hanger," I told him "Hey that sounds like a plan," Dave smiled It took me another two months to remake the hanger for our purpose though adding it to the Lair would take a bit longer. Still it helped when Dave brought in special contact from his past to help bring everything around, but now I was ready. We had the Sea Dragon moved to the Lair while had the hanger was being refitted. In fact they are still going on and it is not yet ready for use. The Sea Dragon wasn't ready it going to take another month or so to bring her around. But was I ready I've been practicing in the Holo-Room for the last two months training myself to fight with the fighting pike and combing it with the latest fighting technique making them my own. At the same time I stepped up on my meditation fine-tuning my connection with the Earth and simple letting her in. After five months of preparation it was finally was time for the Guardian Angel to make his début. There was a city to protect and it was my duty to defend.
