My employment with Willard Phule, better known by his nom de guerre of \u201cCaptain Jester,\u201d has sometimes made me wonder if I have fallen under a legendary curse from Old Earth: \u201cMay you live in interesting times.\u201d Two addi-tional phrases are less well-known: \u201cMay you come to the attention of important people, andmay you receive all that you wish for.\u201d They apply all too well to my life with Omega Company of the Space Legion. <\/p>\n

It was happy hour at the Officers\u2019 Club at Rahnsome Base, headquarters of the United Alliance Military Command, and the barrooms were packed.

And the noise level was exactly what you would suspect from a group of sophonts who spent a large fraction of their time telling others what to do. <\/p>\n

Time-honored scuttlebutt around the base asserted that careers could be launched or destroyed right here in this room. To judge from the behavior of the officers present, the majority of them believed it. <\/p>\n

The loudest of the blowhards on hand was General Blitzkrieg of the Space Legion. With a highball in one hand and a clear Neo-Havana cigar in the other, he sat in his favorite overstuffed chair by the trophy shelf, brow-beating all who offered to question his preeminence. Nor-mally, there were few who bothered-mainly because the effort was disproportionately greater than any possible re-ward for success. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
