There is a Colonel from his expedition who does not agree with the majority decision and wants to make his own policy

"Colonel da Morais was involved," Herndon said, "He had to be
3.
She knew them all, knew the Colonel was the firebrand who had the hardest time adapting to the ways of this world
4.
Since she left them, Nelson and the Colonel have not been seen, neither has Waldeis or Humberto
5.
"We think there are four counting the Colonel now, Nelson, Humberto and Waldeis
6.
"I know you don't want me to know this," Ava said, "but I think we both think she's working for that rogue Colonel of yours
7.
Herndon had suggested the Colonel might even have intentions for the starship itself, a million tons of metal
8.
"It's not really the colonel you want to save your starship from is it?" she asked, "It's some other starship you fear
9.
"Could you and the Colonel be on the same side in this?" she asked
10.
Whether they or the Colonel have the shuttlecraft makes no difference to your plans
11.
"Colonel da Morais, does that mean anything to you?"
12.
"And I think you just said he's with the Colonel, the one who wants to use force
13.
"He thinks you're a spy for some Brazilian Colonel," doostEr told him
14.
"Where's this Colonel?"
15.
the Colonel," doostEr thought he said
16.
"The woman of that mailbox is right here," the Colonel said
17.
She had never actually asked Ava about the state of Colonel Samrova's latest backup
18.
"You agree, it's that Colonel guy?"
19.
But where's Gordon's Lamp, Colonel Kruger, that Bishop? The real ones, not a backup
20.
Still the prime governor wasted his time with the nationality issue, siding with the Colonel and Waldeis more often than not and urged Herndon in joining them within a boundary and constitution
21.
"The Colonel dreams of returning
22.
The governor gave me copies of that paperwork and I hid it from the Colonel in your stuff when we were still living in the Kassikan
23.
In spite of all Alan had done, Colonel Elmore Bovok still tried to maintain a friendship
24.
She sees the McReadys fairly often, she's been to the Bovok’s and even to Colonel Kruger's with Thom
25.
One investigation he could make would require he see colonel Kruger at least, and probably Bovok
26.
The big arms and iron grey flattop of Colonel Glayet Samrova entered his front door
27.
With a grim face the colonel wrote that on her virtual notepad which was fully rendered as a flip-over spiral-bound paper one from a twentieth century cop show
28.
Thom did his best to replay the whole conversation for the Colonel
29.
He would have been out before dark if the Colonel had not delayed him
30.
"I understand Colonel Samrova stopped by today," Ava said as he came into the bedroom
31.
"I understand," Thom said, it paid to be straight around Imogene, it seemed like she admired Colonel Samrova and they were friends
32.
"The Colonel said to go right in
33.
Heymon sent Lite Colonel Anderson to assist in finding the error and he brought Sam Langston with him
34.
"Did your people pick up anything from outside?" he asked his colonel of security
35.
“Colonel Bancour, we need to know who that individual was,” Colonel Samrova said
36.
"There is a whole department on Heavenly Mother with anti-hacking operatives and a no-nonsense colonel in charge
37.
As soon as he shut the door he said, "Sorry Colonel Bancour but we don't want the remainder of the crew to hear that
38.
"Colonel Bancour, what does he think he's seeing?"
39.
yet have we?" he asked Colonel Bovok
40.
“Thank you colonel,” Kelvin said
41.
Who would she take? He thought Alan and Morg had been the only men who had interested her, well, she also thought Colonel Bovok was attractive in some weird way, but he was very married to a woman who did NOT make any use of Alan’s universe
42.
“Lite Colonel Bancour sir
43.
“Both I and Colonel Samrova should have been notified about this scheme
44.
It was a lot like Colonel Rendellyn’s ancient Egyptian universe
45.
When he called up to the ship, he raised Elmore Bovok, Colonel of Economics
46.
“You must remember that there are many things more important than asking a few questions of the natives,” Colonel Bovok told him, “You are on a planet inhabited by intelligent, possibly hostile natives
47.
A little inner voice which sounded a lot like Colonel Glayet Samrova of security was telling him he should stop this conversation, but for some reason he wasn’t able to hear it well enough
48.
Delos had never really cared about the fact that a mortal had been genned from the seed pool and had certainly never conversed with it or mailed it before it was released on the surface and Colonel Bovok thought the natives might have some relation to economics
49.
“Mister Larkin, this is Colonel Samrova of security
50.
” The Captain next addressed Heymon Kruger, Colonel of Engineering and Fabrication, “Heymon, could you tell me what it will take to home in on his phone with it turned off
51.
Alan was scrambling in a suit over the pods of the ship, Colonel Samrova pursuing in a glittering stainless bot
52.
elongated fingernails because the Colonel would not give up his weapon and go
53.
round at the crazy colonel
54.
By the rules of precedency, a captain in the navy ranks with a colonel in the army ; but
55.
"Colonel Bancour," Kelvin began, "It has come to my attention that you may have a problem with the reunification
56.
You will remain a colonel with a colonel's pay and privileges, but you will be stripped of all command responsibility
57.
It probably had a lot to do with the captain's friendship with Ava Bancour, the civilian Lite Colonel
58.
Sure enough, as the bells of the hour died away, Colonel Bishop Jason Rendellyn mounted the steps and opened his Bible
59.
All officers would be able to see it, not just the captain, Colonel Samrova and of course Ava
60.
My Daddy was as white as the driven snow, a Colonel in the former U
61.
After this cruise, he was ordered to serve on the steamer Colonel Hasmy that had been dispatched for the Brazos River in Texas to support General Zachary Taylor’s campaign against the
62.
Inside there was already the Colonel Captain Melstone along with Major Danby and Captain Thornley then you had Lt Pearson CSM Domby and RSM Greaves
63.
Colonel Terry cleared his throat and said
64.
I peeked over the lip of the hole again and to my surprise I saw Colonel Terry, Major Melstone and RSM Greaves in a shell hole close to ours with a few more of the lads with them
65.
Colonel Terry had seen this and shouted
66.
Then Colonel Terry said
67.
Major Melstone and RSM Greaves came over to us and the RSM said, Right young Lamb you are now a Lance Corporal the Colonel has made you up in the field now hold out your arm
68.
Colonel Terry thought that the situation was so serious that he sent some of the lads crawling out to see if they could pick up any water bottles from the dead Germans or from our dead as well then we rolled the dead Germans onto the parapet and out of the trench to lessen the smell and flies we knew that would soon come in this heat
69.
It was now that the Colonel turned to us as we finished blocking off each end of the trench so we could defend it better he said
70.
The Colonel looked to where the smoke still lingered and then said
71.
Colonel Terry announced that he was pleased with the water situation and that it would allow us to stay here that bit longer
72.
“That would have been Colonel Terry S/Sgt and I don’t think he would like being called a lunatic”, stood there was RSM Greaves
73.
“No offence Sir just a joke between us and I have the greatest respect for the Colonel and his decisions
74.
” Ted brought them and the Colonel and the rest came up to my position the Colonel looked up at me and asked
75.
” Colonel Terry replied
76.
The Colonel was there to welcome us and said
77.
Our position though was now becoming untenable and I could see that Colonel Terry was quite worried about this
78.
The Colonel spoke to us survivors
79.
” The Colonel smiled saying
80.
Just before we started to get ready for the retreat Ted Wallace said to the Colonel
81.
The Colonel then continued
82.
” I heard the Colonel counting the time down on his watch and knew that Bert and the man with him were standing ready to go over the top and start the long journey back to our lines
83.
Then I heard the Colonel say
84.
“Ready Cpl Lamb S/Sgt Wallace thirty seconds to go?” I looked through the sight at the German trench and the Colonel shouted
85.
” I knew that Bert was about to go over the top and my mouth was dry with fear for him then the Colonel said
86.
The pairs kept going until finally we were down to the RSM and Colonel Terry the Colonel looked at his watch and counted down the last thirty seconds
87.
The RSM shouted to the Colonel
88.
The artillery moved on as I returned to our machine gun post setting up the Lewis gun again the RSM and Colonel shouted farewell and then went over the top, as I poured covering fire into the German trench
89.
Now the shrapnel in my hand and thigh began to hurt like hell Ted had been watching the RSM and Colonel and now he said
90.
“Hello Staff, Cpl Lamb I sent the rest on the Colonel and RSM wanted to stay with me but I told them that they must get back I knew that you two would be coming but I’m afraid there is little you can do for me
91.
“What about the Colonel and RSM have you not seen them again?” I replied
92.
“Did you see Colonel Terry or RSM Greaves killed?” I told him
93.
How Colonel Terry had said we should retreat back to our own lines and how me and Ted Wallace had stayed behind to cover the retreat only making it out ourselves by the skin of our teeth
94.
“I’m surprised Sir all you have to do is ask Colonel Terry or RSM Greaves and I’m sure that they will confirm everything that I have told you
95.
“We cant ask them anything Colonel Terry and the RSM were killed trying to get back to our lines that means you are the only one living who was in that trench and knows what happened
96.
” I thought to myself bloody hell if soldiers as good as Colonel Terry and RSM Greaves had been killed then the Battalion must have ceased to exist to all intents and purposes
97.
“Can you think of no one else who heard the order given no one at all?” I wracked my brain but the Colonel and RSM had been my last hope and with them dead and me left alive it was only my word that the Colonel did order us to retreat that made me feel so alone like the last person on earth
98.
Me I whished him well but I could have told him he was wasting his time for when the Colonel and the others died I died as well
99.
“Well there is one thing you are lucky to have someone representing you at the trial it is only because Colonel Jack Harmon made a thorough bloody nuisance of himself at Division that I was assigned to you
100.
The two Military Policemen wheeled me into the room and I could see a Colonel and two Majors sat behind a table looking at us as we came in I noticed Major Vine off to one side and Captain Berryman was leafing through some papers
