Ohashi swiveled the screen around so everyone at the table could eat while they watched the five vids: Scarlett hanging all over Clay Bryant. Row upon row of cryopods stacked in a dungeon. Governor Bryant’s speech centered on his reelection, finishing with a request for their financial support. Rushing in a black gown embracing the governor. Clay leaving with Scarlett and Rushing. “I don’t get it.” Kamryn shook her head. “That’s the weirdest ménage à trois I’ve ever seen.” Leaning closer, Mark replayed the last scene. “No, I think we’re looking at more of a collusion than a coital escapade.” Gaige didn’t seem interested in the women or the speech. “You found no guns?” “None,” Mark said, “just the cryopods.” “What’s in them?” “Clones.” A …show more content…
Moneyed, using state of the art comms, I hardly noticed them, plus high-priced weapons. No scarring I could see, consequently your injuries must have been treated with nanites.” Mark placed a hand on his chest. “I was just called cocky yesterday.” “No doubt, by someone who felt inferior. Cocky is arrogance. Self-confidence is using your skills, playing to your strengths, which I’ve seen all of you do in person. You function as a team. A very well-oiled team. Some of your talents are more prevalent than others, but I imagine you’re all experts in your chosen fields.” Gaige leaned back crossing one ankle over his knee. “So, do you want to tell me who you really are?” At the kitchen counter, Petra had been busy making coffee for those who might want some with their pie. Eva and Ohashi continued eating as the others talked. Ohashi nudged Axel’s leg underneath the table before she spoke. “First, Professor Aldrich, why don’t you tell my friends here who you really are.” A myriad of emotions washed over Gaige’s face: surprise, anger, fear, ending with acceptance.

I supposed it’s only fitting Terran’s would be the ones to discover the truth.” “Which would be?” Axel asked. “Could I have some coffee, please?

Why do we speak of ‘basic” rather than “primitive” religions? We speak of basic religion because basic religion came from prehistory or are practiced in remote places. And elements of the basic religions are found to some degree in all religions. Basic religions represent the majority of the total religious experience of humankind.

Christian or Muslim or Jew may tend to look down on these religions as being superstitious, uncivilized, or even savage. The term is misleading in suggesting that the religions of those peoples are somehow less complex than the religions of "advanced" societies.
Long ago, at a small village next to Roc-A-Fella peaks, there lived three young boys. Jermaine, Nas, and Kendrick. Kendrick was a descendant of the lightning district of the village, Nas was born and raised in the fire district, and Jermaine was a simple village boy who grew crops and raised cattle. Ever since the village was established it was divided into four main groups. The fire district, the lightning district, the village folk, and the All Mighty’s. Mostly all lived in peace until one day.
The number is 954 and here is a list of things that they have done.
The only thing worse than watching Tilly was seeing Sir Harkin’s gloomy face. He stood on the sideline with the punch in his hands.

"Yea? what do you want" Eddy said threateningly. Even though Eddy had gotten somewhat buffer he was still short and his attempts to look menacing only gave Lee more laughter.
“Oh ... hey, Olivia. What can I do for you this morning?” Maddie hoped that whatever it was, it wouldn’t take much effort on her part as making the coffee was going to be challenging
“Has the rest of the Onu finally finished their preparations?” Mr. Lestrange asked. The purple alien responded in its uncanny, foreign tongue as Mr. Begay and Lestrange nodded in understanding.
Addison studied the question. “First of all, what makes you think Faith wants a threesome that includes me?”
“Cheating isn’t allowed in none of my classrooms, Michael,” she scolded, giving him the finger of shame. “You’d better ask Tre what happened the last time he cheated on…”
“Only when their lips are moving.” He looked at her with a sly grin. “Present company excepted.”
"'Cause they don't." Quinn stated in a disbelieving tone. Artemis and the girl both gasped.
“Might as well tell the whole world who you are.” Marcello says sarcastically. Alvis walks across the room and sits on a wooden chair.
“We can’t let the people know of this attack,” Queen Elara hisses. “Our people can’t know that the Scarlet Guard is getting stronger with each passing day and that they have reached the palace walls. We cannot let Reds have faith that they will ever be equals with Silvers.”
“What are they doing?” Phoenix spun to meet his eye to which he just shook his head sadly.
