and the military's top brass ~ ~ ~

In exchange for their testimony about the mission they were each 

awarded 10 million Sheks and the President's Space Medal ~ the highest 

honor awarded to Ephysian Soldiers and Citizens as well.

Caleb was posthumously awarded the same Medal ~ plus ~ The new

Space Defense Building was to be named "The Caleb Defense Building."

SIX MONTHS LATER

It was found that Gerald had sold critical information to the enemy that led

to Caleb's defeat. For his betrayal he had received 30 sheks from

Mesmerize's Command, hardly any value at all.

It surfaced that the pay-off was simply a tradition of the Mesmerize Regime.

He actually betrayed Caleb because of resentment and a demonic spirit that

was inbred. Gerald was executed for treason and his assets were used to

fund the "CALEB EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM FOR ALPHA

BEGINNERS."

Jess was asked to speak at the dedication ceremony ~ ~ ~

He concluded his speech with, "Caleb would have been proud to have

this fine building named after him ~ BUT ~ he would be even more proud 

to know that Diane (in the last six months) has established 12 Alpha

Command Learning Centers and she had named her infant Son ~ Caleb!"

Alpha works in strange ways!
