Planet Devon, Code-Named “High Tortuga”
The raven-haired woman stared at the planet below through the docking
bay’s forcefield. The field allowed ships to pass from the bay into the
vacuum of space.
Bethany Anne’s alter ego Baba Yaga had begun the process of acquiring
a majority interest in most of the interplanetary and interstellar companies on
the planet.
Using the wealth she’d acquired as the former Empress of the Etheric
Empire, Bethany Anne had spent liberally. Using her Empire’s AIs she
crushed the competition, making any operation that shipped to or from High
Tortuga a losing proposition.
Then she bought the remaining shipping companies for a fraction of their
previous worth. Some might call what she did immoral or unethical.
She called it business.
There was a method to her madness, but those who had witnessed her real
madness saw nothing but intelligence in her efforts to hide High Tortuga’s
existence.
She feared that former Etheric Empress Bethany Anne was going to
become a pariah in the near future as the Federation stretched its baby legs.
She needed a place to stay out of the limelight.
It had to be far enough away that no one would find her, but close enough
to bring down the hammer of her warships if the future brought danger.
One danger was the collapse of the effort to create a new Federation of
Peoples. Aliens and humans working together to become strong together.
The Kurtherians were still ranging the galaxies taking over other races,
and there were most likely other entities willing to overpower others in their
quests for domination as well. They might be races no one in the nascent
Federation had yet encountered, or they might be from within the Federation
itself.
She and her people would be ready when that time came.
Bethany Anne turned away from her scrutiny of the planet and headed
toward Michael, her lover and the father of their child. He was waiting for her
to board the ship which would take them down to the planet below.
It was time High Tortuga went through its own birthing pains to
transform into the planet Bethany Anne believed it could become.
The prototype for…well, she would be calling it “Utopia” but that was
way too formal. She’d just call it the Motherfucking Practical Political
System instead, or MPPS, and it would be an advanced but practical form of
government she would transplant (if they could accomplish the mechanics) to
her home planet of Earth.
Centuries in the future.

Bethany Anne sat down at the conference table and dropped an oldfashioned notebook on it. For whatever reason, doodling notes on the paperlike substances helped her gather her thoughts.
