and more Double D

and more Double D....

Jane goes back to the preparation room where the Juniors anxiously ready themselves ~ "Well JJ's – looks like I won't be with you for the readying process but, fear not – You are in good hands. Just remember all that you have learned and no harm will come to you and if it does, well, RUN!!!" says Jane with a wink and a smirk.

Jane has changed into her formal whites – which are the same as her informal whited, except whiter and shinier, the white linen of her formals mixed with a very fine silk that reflects the sun's rays and the moon's halos. She returns to the office of the Cowander in Chief where she is to receive the exact coordinates for the intersex meet, but a surprise awaits her.

The Cowander is Chief says, "Jane, I know this has been a long time in coming…We, the top of the Woman's Forward Movement have decided that a change must take place before the intersex meet. Women…" (In walk Kate and 2 other top WFM officials.)

"Jane, we send you on this mission not only as our ambassador but as a warrior – a defender of the principles of womanhood and all that she embodies. As such we empower you to negotiate freely and with full authority. We, your comrades give you this…( a pin is presented and pinned on her upper collar). You are now Jane, Double D 2^nd Cowander of the Woman's Forward Movement. "

Ordinarily such a presentation would not be made so ordinarily. Ordinarily there would be a big party with plenty of pomp and circumstance. Today however is different, the intersex meet is scheduled to take place and the future of the WFM as well as the ML are in the balance. There is no time to think and no time to celebrate.

Jane leaves the office of the Cowander in Chief a bit dazed but she quickly recovers and heads straight for the portopad where her transporter awaits her.

Jane, in addition to being the highest ranking Judoist in the WFM, is also an Ace pilot, having clocked many hours as a rogue driver in the days before the WFM initiated transformation and advantation for women of the planet, before women could be full Belted Fighters.

As Second Cowander Jane Double D gets into her new dome shaped transporter her mind begins to wonder and she sees herself so many years before, maybe 20 years back, to her first transporter – if you could call it that. It wasn’t even dome shaped – more of an uneasy lump – bright red in color. It was an eye sore –It stuck out like a bright red pimple on an otherwise clean and clear white telepad. But, it was hers and, it was her first was her first. She remembers with fondness, it’s loud and smoky takeoffs and near crash landings. She remembers it with a fondness the way she remembers all of her first loves – Her first Virlican sea crab, her first Irish truffle, her first man, her first woman.

Jane shakes off the urge to reminisce and focuses on the task at hand. For Jane, the new Second Cowander, the ability to compartmentalize and redirect her focus at any given moment was one of the gifts that made her who she was and got her the recognition she deserved. Although she might argue that this recognition came about only after the male/female split, that fact is, that even before the advent and coming into power of the WRM, Jane’s abilities and innate talent for focusing and analysing any given situation was recognized fairly early on. The only problem was that before the WFM, all the praise Jane received got her exactly nowhere. She was not able to move up the ranks and most of her ideas practicalities where implemented by her male counterparts. ..mostly without so much as a thank you – but a whispered kind of silent acknowledgement that ‘this’ could only have been done with Janes amazing brain.

And here she is, some 25 years later, fully respected and openly acknowledged as being one of the leading political and analytical diplomatic figures of all time….And in both the WFL as well as the Men’s League...

You see, I need to write...I really do...
My question remains, What do you want to read? Should I blah blah bla about my life and how my Love and I blindly forge forward while sitting on the Couch? Or should I put in these fantasy chapters of the book I hope to publish before I take my dying breath, while sitting on the Couch?
What should I do?
