MONITOR HAD NOW GIVEN THE MESSAGE FROM THE GALAXY 'HARD DRIVE' TO THE EARTH MILITARY---THE EARTH MILITARY DECIDED THE NEXT THING TO DO-WAS TO SEND SPIES TO THE GALAXY -IN AN ATTEMPT TO FIND OUT WHAT THEY TRULY WERE DEALING WITH--
MONITOR HAD TOLD HER SON PORT ABOUT THE 'MESSAGE'---SINCE A TERRIBLE WAR BETWEEN THE EARTH AND THE GALAXY HARDRIVE WAS A CERTAINTY--PORT JOINED THE MILITARY--IN HOPES THAT HE COULD BE OF GOOD SERVICE SINCE HE KNEW MUCH ABOUT SPACE TRAVEL----MONITOR INSISTED THAT SHE BE ONE OF THE 6 SPIES GOING TO THE GALAXY 'HARD DRIVE'--HER EXPERINCE OF INTERPLANETERY TRAVEL WAS CERTAINLY NEEDED AND SHE WANTED TO DO THIS IN HONOR OF HER DECEASED HUSBAND 'CD'---
IT WAS A LONG TRIP TO HARD DRIVE--BUT THE TRIP SUCCEEDED TO ARRIVE SAFELY AND LAND IN A REGION OF THE GALAXY THAT WAS NOT VISITED VERY OFTEN--THESE 6 AND THE EARTH MILITARY HAD REASON TO BELIEVE THE PEOPLE OF THE GALAXY 'HARD DRIVE' WERE MUCH DIFFERENT IN MANY WAYS THAN THE PEOPLE OF THE MILKY WAY GALAXY--
MONITOR AND HER COMRADES WERE ABLE TO FIND BY RADIO SIGNALS EXACTLY WHERE THE 'MESSAGE' HAD BEEN BROADCAST--IN SECRET THEY VISITED THIS SITE--AND WERE SHOCKED TO SEE WHAT THE PEOPLE LOOKED LIKE--THEY WERE TOTALLY DIFFERENT IN PHYSICAL FORM FROM HUMANS--THEY ALL MOVED ABOUT IN MECHANICAL DEVICES--NO WHEELS--SEEMINGLY GRAVITY FREE MACHINES--THEIR WEAPONS OF WAR WERE TOTALLY DIFFERENT IN APPEARANCE THAN ANYTHING THEY HAD EVER SEEN--PROBABLY ADVANCED LASERS--ANY INFOMATION THE 6 FOUND-WAS SENT IMMEDIATELY BACK TO EARTH BY A STRONG NARROW BEAM OF RADIO SIGNALS--DONE THIS WAY IN HOPES NO ONE ELSE WOULD GET THE INFORMATION EXCEPT EARTH--
THE 6 WERE ABLE TO GET THE INFORMATION THEY WANTED AND BEGAN THEIR TRIP BACK TO EARTH--A LONG TRIP OF 6 MONTHS--
THE EARTH MILITARY SAID THIS INFORMATION WOULD REALLY HELP THEM IN THEIR PLANS--
THIS INFORMATION INDICATED AN ATTACK WOULD BE MADE BY 'HARD DRIVE' IN ABOUT 6 MONTHS--AS THEY USE TO SAY--THE EARTH MILITARY WENT INTO 'HIGH GEAR'--6 MONTHS SHOULD GIVE EARTH TIME TO TO BE READY--PLANS WERE MADE TO MEET THE ENEMY 'HARD DRIVE' FORCES AT A MIDWAY POINT BETWEEN EARTH AND THE GALAXY 'HARD DRIVE'--THIS IN HOPES THAT THE WAR COULD BE WON AND NO DAMAGE WOULD BE DONE TO THE PLANET EARTH--
SCOUT SHIPS WERE STATIONED IN SPACE -TO REPORT ANYTHING THEY SAW THAT WOULD GIVE EARTH TIME TO DEPART ITS FORCES INTO INTERPLANETERY SPACE--
THIS WAS GOING TO BE THE 'BIG ONE' AS SANFORD USE TO SAY---
THE WAITING NOW HAS BEGUN--
