.Calvin looked up as Lieutenant Finn walked into the room.“Do you have something for us?” he asked.“Yes, I do,” replied Lieutenant Finn.“I knew there were a variety of bombs and warheads in the database; it was just a matter of finding the right one.I was looking for something that was big enough to destroy the station, yet small enough to be man-portable.or at least cyborg-portable,” he said, looking at Staff Sergeant Randolph.“Can you guys carry something that weighs 300 or so pounds?” he asked.Staff Sergeant Randolph paused, doing the calculations.“I think we can do that,” he said, looking at Staff Sergeant Dantone, who nodded.“It will take readjusting some things and maybe taking a smaller weapons load, but yeah, it can be done.”“Okay, that’s great.There was this one bomb that they called the Mother of All Bombs,” Lieutenant Finn said.“That would have done the job very well.But it was way too big to carry.It was about 1,000 pounds, which I didn’t think would work.” Both cyborgs shook their heads.“That was what I thought, so I went with the other one.There are two of them waiting in the replicator room.”“What are they?” asked Night.“They are four-stage hydrogen bombs,” said Lieutenant Finn.“Each of them has a yield of about 100 megatons.That is equivalent to almost 3,000 times the combined power of the bombs that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki.Hopefully, that will be enough.”“3,000 times the size?” asked Calvin.“Yeah, that should do it.”* * * * *ABOUT THE AUTHORChris Kennedy is a former aviator with over 3,000 hours flying attack and reconnaissance aircraft for the United States Navy, including many missions supporting U.S.Special Forces.He has also been an elementary school principal and has enjoyed 18 seasons as a softball coach.He is currently working as an Instructional Systems Designer for the Navy.Titles by Chris Kennedy:“Red Storm: The Chinese Invasion of Seattle” – Available Now“Occupied Seattle” – Available Now“Janissaries: Book One of The Theogony” – Available Now“When the Gods Aren’t Gods: Book Two of The Theogony” – Available Now“Terra Stands Alone: Book Three of The Theogony” – Coming Soon!* * * * *Connect with Chris Kennedy Online:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chriskennedypublishing.bizBlog: http://chriskennedypublishing.com/Twitter: @ChrisKennedy110Want to be immortalized in a future book?Join the Red Shirt List on the blog!
