The rough notes that make up this story were given to me by the person who tells the story. For obvious reasons, I changed the names of the leaders and hereby confirm the guarantee I received that the originals of such people can survive if their discovery is deemed desirable.

Flashes of flame began to play around the rocket ship, explosions fired from side to side as it spun and turned into a crazy attempt to escape. Rogue Rogan, his evil lips were clenched, his sparkling evil eyes narrowed, his heart was pounding, he knew that was all. It was a day of retribution, which he had been afraid for so long ......
