Today our friends at the armory gather and make their way to the space ship, and Glenna and Miriam have a joyous reunion in Voun.
THE GOD GAMES: Chapter Fourteen
Lucy's soldiers had come in Thursday night, two nights before, and Bond had gotten the trucks holding Wills men into Ento around 7 p.m., Friday night.
Adam had assigned Tom to sleep in the same room as Wills, and I still bunked with Lieutenant Stars. Bond had returned to Voun on another highway out of Ento.
We all had dinner in the mess hall, but there was quite a wait. There was plenty of food, but several hundred men stood in line to eat.
About 1 a.m., early Sunday morning, Bond came roaring into the armory with the Voun Special Forces contingent. He would travel to the ship with us tomorrow and then return to Voun with the trucks on Monday morning.
General Coleman gave orders to bivouac the thousand soldiers from Voun and additional tents started springing up over the base. The mess hall was open all night long, and it looked like it would stay that way for a while to come.
The officers were bunked in the officer's quarters where there was sufficient room for the number of expected officers.
We finally got to sleep about 3 a.m., and then were wakened again at 6 a.m. We hit the mess hall on the run and got hot coffee and fresh donuts. Then we policed our room and were back in Adam's office by 6:55 a.m. We were joined by Molly, Trev, and Julie by 6:57 a.m..
"Wow!" said Adam, "has this been a mess of porcupine quills! The response has been tremendous, and I have been driven hard to find the space for all of these men. Luckily, we have plenty of food to go around, and people from the farms surrounding Ento have been volunteering their barns to put up soldiers for the duration."
It's almost time to head back to the ship, said Bond, "should we stand in groups?"
General Coleman joined a circle forming around myself, with Lieutenant Stars and Bond completing our circle.
Tom gathered Molly, Wills, Trev and Julie with him and they held hands. I pushed the invisibility button, and then thought our way back to the ship. All nine of us appeared before the ship and we were delighted to see Lucy, Alice, and Ann already there.

GLENNA:
I arrived at the Supreme Court building and requested to see Miriam Lofts, if possible. The secretary made a phone call and then looked up and smiled.
"Mrs. Lofts said, 'Oh, wonderful!' and asked that you be sent to her immediately. She is on the fifth floor, room 510. Can you find that?
"Yes, I have been there before. Thank you for your help."
I took the elevator to the fifth floor and walked down the hall a bit to room 510. There was a sign on her door that said, "Judge Miriam Lofts, Supreme Court." I knocked and the door was thrown open by a very welcoming Miriam.
"Oh Glenna, you have no idea how glad I am to see you! Why are you here?"
We sat down across from each other at Miriam's desk, and Miriam let out a deep sigh.
"You know, I have the strength and power to make things come to pass in Voun, but your support will help clear and arrange my mind so I can give the best orders.
"In an hour, I am meeting with my five Generals to give them the low-down on what we are trying to accomplish here. I will introduce you as my right-hand advisor so they will give you respect and obedience.
I have set Bond a very large task to do. He will provide the salt mine trucks to Wills to get the greatest part of his troops into the armory at Ento. He will then bring the trucks back home and get ready to ship our soldiers for the Special Forces unit into Ento.
"This evening, I will be giving a speech on Voun radio for all of the citizens so they can understand what's going on now. Maybe you would listen to it and give me a few pointers?"
"I'd be glad to," I replied.
Miriam gathered her notes, put on her robes, fluffed her hair and powdered her face. She stood up and pulled herself up to her greatest height. "How do I look?" She asked.
"Very professional, and very pretty also," I answered.
Tomorrow we witness a meeting between Miriam and her generals as they discuss the new battle plans.
