## Summary

### The Wolf, the Goat and the Cabbage

(year 2773) - This story is told from Ramon's POV.

Ramon has just graduated from Alpha Sector Diplomatic training and is on his first mission as a Diplomatic Aide, part of the 2773 Alpha sector peace mission to Hestia. Chief Negotiator Kwame Ansah is killed while practicing his opening day speech with Ramon as his only audience. Military Security Agent York rescues Ramon and helps him escape, having him activated his diplomat emergency beacon to call the cross-sector military and request evacuation. They make their way to the roof and are rescued by Pilot Captain Nia Stone

Once aboard Nia's ship, York takes Ramon hostage as York is really *Harbinger*, a fugitive assassin the military is searching for. Captain Mason Leveque is called to the com's to act as hostage negotiator.

Ultimately, at the end of the story Ramon acts and rescues his self. Nia Stone suggests that Ramon should join the Military, but Ramon doesn't think he is the Military type.

### Hera 2781: A Military Short Story

Ramon is a member of Jaxon Tell Galad fighter pilot team and is only briefly mentioned when he is brought in by Jaxon's deputy to help mediate the conflict between Jaxon and Drago.

### Hestia 2781

Ramon is the Green Wing Captain for Jaxon's fighter group. While home on leave for a few days after the events in *Hera 2781* his family continues to put pressure on him to return to being a diplomat and decide to match make female diplomats with him. This makes him very angry with his family to the point that he is ready to cut all contact with them.

While the entire fighter group are portalling to Earth, they get involve in protecting the civilians in off-world Adonis from the radical extremists from Hestia. Ramon is assigned to Drago to prevent the extremists from taking hostages. Along with Drago, Ramon fires into the crowd of radicals with their gun on on "Scatter fire" stun setting to prevent them from being overrun. This is considered an extreme setting that upsets him, but he holds his own until he is injured by one of the attackers and falls over unconscious.

Later, while in the Academy Medical Center, he lectures Drago telling him he must never order him to set his gun on "Scatter Fire" again. He also tells Drago that he hugely complicated his life because after their defense of the innocents in Adonis off-world was reported on the news, his family called him and told him that they finally accept that his career is in the Military and not diplomacy, but he isn't sure that he believes that their change of heart is really true.

### Sol 2781

When it is time to collect their Dart Ships on Academy in the pre-meeting, Ramon realizes that neither Jaxon or Drago has probably ever dealt with the Civilian Auxiliary Service before, so he briefs them on just exactly what to expect and how to conduct themselves with the CAS sergeants if they expect to get their ships in a reasonable length of time. He has much experience with CAS and how to deal with them, because his previous Captain use to loan him out to other fighter groups to help them get through the process. He makes Jaxon promise never to loan him out to anyone else.

During the solar storm and portal lock down when Jaxon holds a three-day team holo tournament where each pilot fights every other pilot. Ramon always flys his dart ship in to the nearest meteor field and hides out, playing peak-a-boo until their time runs out or the other pilot gets impatient and dives into the meteor field and hits a meteor. The only pilot that turns the table on him is Drago.

### Earth Prime
