Speaking in front of all the representatives in the Assemblée Nationale, Napoleon will put his political career on the line, for the 8 scientist. No evidence has been found to support the espionage theories. But by now all of France has agreed, that they are some crazy f-ers. However, they are still incarcerated, for removing secret documents, from their workplace. Only the Assemblée has “pardon powers”, and Napoleon was about to ask for the scientists’ pardon.
All of his political advisors had told him he was nuts for defending, the obviously loony scientist. But deep down, Napoleon knew, he had to do it, for France and for Jeanne. After a full minute of applause, from the members, Napoleon glances at the glass teleprompter, looks at the audience and the TV cameras. Without showing the nervousness, that is eating him up inside, Napoleon confidently begins his speech;
“There comes a time in a man’s life, when he has to just stand back, and say……………..F*CK IT!!!
The gasp in the building can be heard all around, like a resounding echo. In fact they could be felt, from the audiences watching in their homes. In stunned silence, the French nation awaited the President’s next words.
“You all know why I’m here, but what you don’t know is, why I’m doing it. Well, I’m doing this because, Jeanne d’Arc herself, told me I should do this.”
Some of the Assemblée members now begin to shake their heads, as it appears their President has completely lost his mind.
“Enemies of our fair nation, are currently arming themselves, with these “weapons of mass destruction.” And in this Nuclear game, the world plays, there are no winners. But, these 8, so called crazy scientist, can in fact, keep us from losing. Losing our nation, but most importantly our people.
They have dreams about space exploration, which are quickly dismissed as signs of senility. But, their dream should be OUR dream. Space exploration IS the way of the future. And space exploration IS our salvation from this madhouse, we call Earth. The possibilities are endless, our scientific community needs men like these, DREAMERS, with a DRIVE and a PASSION to make their dreams and ours, come true.
We must explore our universe and we must COLONIZE it, before our ENEMIES, beat us to it. Jeanne knows this, I know this, and the French nation, SHOULD know this. I once uttered, these famous words, in a battle field, long ago. But they are as important today, here. As they were then, there. Je ne suis pas effrayé, ALLONS, ALLONS, à l’avant pour la gloire de la France!!!”
With that, the Assemblée exploded in a scene of patriotic, nationalistic fervor. Our President made his point EMPHATICALLY, and the loud singing of La Marseillaise, breaks out everywhere, “Allons enfants de la Patrie………….”
Years later…………
Programme d’Apollon
In the year 1330, the world marvels at our superiority, as the CNES (Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales), sends the first ever humans, to land on the moon. Former Air Force pilots, Ferdinand Foch and Antoine Jomini, become instant national heroes, as TV screens throughout the world see them plant the large French tri-color on the rocky surface of the moon. The Programme d’Appollon, so named because, that’s where Jeanne visited Napoleon, is a complete success.
But Napoleon wants more, and so does the rest of France. A colony in space. The best of France’s engineers, architects, scientist and of course Air Force pilots, are sent to the desert landscape of the Southern Bleue Island, near the city of Poitiers, to begin experimenting with the possibility of sending a human colony into the far-away system, known as ALPHA CENTAURI.
The end will be in my next post.
Later, your boyee A.B.

But now I’m all patched up, without any worries.
