The Aldebaran Protocol

The Aldebaran stars system has two! Astronomers call them a 'binary' star system. These stars are closely linked as they traverse the night sky as seen (by telescope) from Earth. Aldebaran or Alpha Tauri is located in the Taurus Constellation, but not distant from the Orion Constellation. Note that a constellation is a direction, not a place. Aldebaran's name is derived from Arabic meaning follower. There are at least two planets known to orbit the stars of Aldebaran, unimaginably named A, and b. Note the size of the letters to remind you planet A is huge in size relative to planet b. Further more planet b has a size somewhat similar to that of Earth.

As for moons orbiting these planets there are very few, because gravitational forces of the planets relative to the binary stars would tear most moons apart. There is are however 3 moons in the system. Two, of medium size, orbit the larger planet A. The third moon is comparable in size to Luna, Earth's moon. That moon was, millennia ago dubed the Witches' Moon, in honour of the witches who brought peace to planet b, during their age of planetary warring! The Witches Moon has a very peculiar orbit. It orbits planet b mostly, but on October 31 (as denoted on Earth) every 17th year, when planets A and b are closest, the Witches' Moon switches to orbit planet A. When this occurs, the Witches' Moon by appearance to the inhabitants of Planet A, looks larger than its normal two moons. The Witches' Moon dominates that sky before leaving for planet b, a year later. That 'heavenly' behaviour perplexed the ancients from which their myths unfolded in their oral tradition.

It was there on the Witches' Moon that Will Pen, aka Will Winslow – incognito, had met, courted, and married Wanda. Wanda S. Wycliff was/is a hereditary witch, born on Earth, who, back in the day, was completing her Ph.D. in the Esoteric Arts, shall we say! Her Dissertation research had taken her to the Witches' Moon. Will had arrived in the Stargate Portal Terminal, by luck, just as Wanda was arriving from Earth. Will had been on an investigation by the Rio Styx in the underworld (the real underworld) and had met an old friend, a shewolf known as Marchosias. He and she had flirted, is all, as they were mildly of amorous intent, a break from tracking the souls of the dead!

Planet b was, from almost Day 1 after WWIII, under the democratic control by the the Witches' Party. The former Naxi Party with access to very advanced weaponry had claimed they could overthrow the ruling class of the mighty Planet A. Witches had lived on Planet A from ancient times. Their only motivation seemed to be protection of Planet A's natural heritage. But the ruling class thought they should be able to accumulate material wealth above all other concerns. The witches thought differently, and were at first ostracized, then punished for their beliefs. The first would be the vocal ones, then the seers. Such witches were tarred and feathered as zealots, meditators, prayers to their Gods and Godess, blasphemers of the one and only 'God', the Leader of the Naxi Party! With Earth's Nazis as a model, they set up the camps to begin the extermination of all witches, active or passive alike, to be exterminated, to purify the bloodlines for the eternal domination of the proponents of Naxism!

As could and did happen, Anunnaki-Reptilian Hybrids, and Reptilians from Orion thinly permeated the population of Planet A. They had been explorers from eons past who made their homes the Aldebaran system. Since they had similar concerns to the witches there developed a loose alliance! Naxis, like Nazis on Earth, failed to realize or respect the importance of such alliances in the building and effectiveness of the Resistance. The Greens, with the Whites, even small in numbers, proved to be formidable against their adversaries!

Interim Captain Rex Reptil, Lizzie Reptil's great grandfather, along with his PsiOps Officer, and Scribe Tim Abraxas, in league with High Priestess Wanda Krak a witch with formidable skills, headed up the resistance. As the time of decision was on the horizon, Cptn Repil, and Scribe Abraxas conferred with HP. Krak. Wanda The Naxis are barbarians, regardless of their weaponry. Scribe Abraxas Furthermore, they are connecting to the Extra Dimensionsal/Extraterrestrial (ED/DE) Artificial Intelligences (AIs) to shut our processing down using computer generated interference thus downgrading all our technologies.

Cptn. Reptl Then we concur that escape, retreat, and regroup to fight another day! In unison, they agree Yes!. Rex We do know a few crucial tid bits of information. Such as? Abraxas. Rex Draco-Reptilians from the systems Thurban, and Beletrix are our main EBEs (Extraterrestrial Biological Entities) adversaries. Fortunately for us they have many limitations. Tim I can say with certainty that the main group of Naxis soldiers cannot be trained in spiritual technologies. Their primitive neural nets, and obedience protcols prevent at least 99.999% of them imagining, learning beyond simple processes, and out-of-the-box, original conclusions. Wanda Perhaps a pivotal fact for the success is that our retreat is that the Moon, with its Planet b will be recaptured by star Aldebaran b in about one month from now.

Rex For now we must advance a 'hit- -and-run', or mouse-evades-cat strategy while we prepare for this mini-exodus to the Moon of Planet b. Tim My teams of hackers will make sure our adversaries' computers and intel gathering processes malfunction. Wanda I will advocate that our Green, and White brothers, and sisters work together to make this happen. Our very lives depend on it!

Wanda to Tim No such operations in the history of this quadrant, as far as I'm aware of, has ever completed such a massive undertaking as without glitches. Tim I agree, but Cptn. Reptil has won campaigns in the Saurians wars where his relatively small force, outnumbered his by a factor of 10-to-1, and won! Wanda Yes, but most of our contingent are not soldiers. Indeed, about half are women and children, and we will have to ration even after we arrive on our new home. Tim Will the witches of the moon accept us? Wanda Without a doubt.

Wanda to Tim Next week is the Big Event week, I do hope nothing goes awry! Tim Don't jinx it by thinking that way. Murphy has already put us through the wringer so far. Wanda All we need now (Wanda boughs her head) is a Mega-Disaster to kill this project. In a moment of emotion, and to support Wanda, Tim hugs her and whispers We are going to make. I know because you are a great woman with a loving heart. And God will reward you for your spirit. When words don't count, Wanda looked into his eyes with hope, pressed her lips to Tim's and with passion kissed him.

Tim was a soldier first, but as a close second, a lover. His job in PsyOps, and sometimes 1st Officer had taken him along many paths, often ones where highly ranked women, as soldiers, were present. In this moment's heat, Tim thought to himself Is she the one? Tim embraced Wanda one more time, before heading out to finish his necessary duties for the success of this mission.

The exodus would begin with a shuttle, dubbed Freedom For All, would be piloted by Cptn Rex Reptil, and with Wanda as an emissary of the witches. The shuttle's other crew would be reptilians, and humans as a show of harmony. Their job would first be to convince those on Moon b, that their mission was in sync with those who lived there. Furthermore, their coming was in keeping with galactic law for refugees, and to ask for asylum.

Prior to their arrival at the spacestation dock above Moon b, Wanda wondering aloud to Rex How will you broach the fact there are 250,000 refugees about to come through the Planet B stargate that need to be shuttled to Moon b to take up residence there? Rex to Wanda I have an Ace! Wanda trusted Rex, but that answer really wasn't satisfying. Then Rex casually remarked What were you and Tim doing when I tried to reach you on my cell, about a half hour ago? Wanda Nothing...W...Why do you ask?

Rex, sensing something (as all adult reptilians can) C'mon Wanda, something caused the delay. Wanda Oh, Tim's communicator was dysfunctioning, and we were trying to fix it. Wanda, after the fact, realized how lame that sounded. Wanda I mean we were discussing the strategy for persuading our new hosts to help us all. Rex muttered Hmm?!

Suddenly, the shuttle's bridge lit up and sounded WARNING....INCOMING. Rex Buckle up Wanda, the Naxis have spotted us. We must take evasive action. Fortunately their missiles have limited guidance systems. The missile zipped past the shuttle, but what worried Cptn Reptil was that Planet b's Space Defense Command had witnessed to whole event as the shuttle approached. That Defense Command began hailing the shuttle for an explanation. Defense Command's Lt. Cherry Spott's sounded in a panic Shuttle, identify yourself! Rex sounding relaxed Freedom For All, ma'am. Cptn Reptil at your service! Cherry taking a moment to look up Rex's credentials Oh, I've heard about you... Before she could continue All Good, I hope! Cherry You're the renegade that Planet A's Defense Command has been warning us to watch out for. Before Rex could answer, Wanda piped in Lt. Spott, is your mother HPS Spott on the Witches council of Planet b? Cherry, taken aback Y...Yes, she is. Cherry then motioned to Space Defense Command officers that everything was okay, because Councillor Wanda S. Wycliff of the Saturn Council of the Sol Star System was on that shuttle's bridge.

Rex, half tongue-in-cheek, to Wanda I'm impressed, you solved that potential crisis with the wave of your wand. Wanda I didn't know you were a renegade! I had to intervene. Rex I didn't know you were a councillor. I wish I'd known. An uneasy peace seemed to reign over the shuttle as Rex prepared to dock it.

As the negotiations dragged on, Tim tried to reach Rex or Wanda for an update. Tim reached Wanda Is Murphy's Law catching up with us? Wanda Not at all. The Captain is just putting the finishing touches on the agreement. We should sign it and get our project under way...on time I must add.

Tim Don't be so sure! I've heard whispers through the Telepathic Web. Wanda Don't worry that's just pre-project jitters! Tim Wanda, I'm a soldier first, and telepath second. I'm am telling you something ominous seems about to erupt. Wanda So what's the fuss? Tim The Orion Empire is poised to invade the Aldebaran star system, if the Orion Rulling Body, can't get concessions from the Taurans with respect to the Aldebaran Question? Wanda What question? Tim With Orion, as with Taurus, it is all about money, as Gold Coins, always has been. Wanda Are you saying the Orions are trying to extort wealth as currency from the Taurians? Tim That has always been the Orion way, because their military might has always been greater than its neighbours! Wanda Are you saying the Aldebarans are resisting? Tim Yes! Except that Planet B, and especially its Moon's inhabitants, are vigorously opposing the idea. Wanda Will this interfere with our project? Tim It could. The Orion Empire is on High Alert, Decon 4 as Earthlings say.

Captain Rex Reptil emerged from the meeting smiling. To Wanda It's called The Aldebaran Protocol, because it was in antiquity known as The Witches' Right. So It's done! Let's do! Wanda to Tim Time to roll. Looks like Mr. Murphy will have to find other prey!
