Winterfell - September 9, 2078

Kurt walked into Winterfell’s cemetery. It was quiet and peaceful, covered with grass and trees. There were several rows of brand-new white marble gravestones, with bouquets of fresh flowers in front of most of them. Kurt knew some pilots and Commandos were making unauthorized trips out of Winterfell just to bring in flowers. He didn’t mind.

How he hated this place.

Most of the graves there were empty. They belonged to the pilots killed in Maada’s ambush. Allen’s grave wasn’t. The Xortaags had buried him and the other members of his team in a mass grave next to Mushgaana’s previous residence. A few days ago, Kurt and a group of Commandos had exhumed the graves and brought the bodies back home, to be buried properly here. Promises made, promises kept.

There were a few fresh flowers on Allen’s grave too. Lilly had probably brought them. Or maybe Sergei. Kurt put two Molson Canadian bottles on the grave and said out loud, “It’s good to have you back home, old friend.”

He stood there, lost in his thoughts.

A few minutes later, Tarq joined him. “We need to talk, and for what I am about to tell you, this place is quite fitting.”

“What’s going on?” asked Kurt.

“There is no easy way to put this, so I am just going to go ahead and say it,” Tarq said. “When our people were preparing Allen for burial, they found a USB drive in his rectum.”

Kurt opened his mouth to ask a question, thought about it for a second, and asked another question instead, “Do I even want to know?”

Tarq, for once, managed to keep a straight face. “I am positive you do not.”

“Too late,” said Kurt, tugging his goatee. “That image is now burned in my mind forever.”

Tarq took his PDD out of his pocket and gave it to Kurt. “This is what we found on the USB drive.”

Kurt looked at the screen for a minute. “Is this what I think it is?”

“It is a holographic map of SH-1,” said Tarq. “We guess Allen had found this in Mushgaana’s mansion and took photos using his PDD, and he hid it in his you-know-what knowing you would recover his body. It shows the fleet base, the laser turrets, the barracks, you know, most of the things we already knew based on the information our spy ship had sent to us, but most importantly, it also shows this,” and he zoomed in on a section of the map.

“What am I looking at?” Kurt asked.

“It’s a small, invisible, and undetectable force field. Similar to the one we use here, but much, much smaller. It basically protects a single building.”

Kurt immediately got where he was going with this. “You think the MFM’s controls are here?”

Tarq, with exaggerated patience, like he was talking to an insolent child, said, “No. we think OMC-BOWS’s controls are here, and that is not all. We think the Xortaags’ interplanetary communication center and their SFD are here too. Before the Xortaags found out about
