Trump 2.0
Sequel to Thirty Seconds After Midnight
Elon hovered over the Imagineer as he reprogrammed the Trump animatronic.
“So, he will recognize me as his master above all the others now, correct?” he asked.
“He should,” the Imagineer replied.
“And the code phrase?”
“Encoded into his memory banks, waiting for you to say it.”
“And he will only obey if my voice says it, right?”
“That’s the idea.” The Imagineer hesitated. “Why do you want all these upgrades, anyway?”
Elon thought back to the video of his ruined home world and his stolen propulsion plans.
“I have my reasons. Now, finish up before anyone finds us here.”

The Devil's Triangle
The sails ruffled in the breeze as we cruised along. The Sea Breeze was a mid-size catamaran that sailed out of Royal Naval Dockyard in Bermuda. We had booked this trip weeks in advance and were now looking at our Captain, Spike and two boat hands. Paddy and Wilson seemed like nice guys, joking around with the passengers and telling us some stories about Bermuda that only locals would know. Their island accents sounded almost British but they were pleasant to listen to.

The Pfister sisters and other God-blessed heroes
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for they will have absolute revenge. Blessed are the meek, for they will be terrible with strength in the Lord. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will take nourishment from the wicked. Blessed are the pure in heart, for no evil shall stand against them.

Sneaky creep. Can’t wait to see what happens next.
Sneaky little bastid! He's going to be in for serious trouble if his commanding officer finds out! Great job on all of these, Stephanie. Love your sci-fi/satirical take on the nonsense infiltrating your own country's government. Well played, very well played, lass!
All I know is that he is up to no good!
