Chapter Three

In less than two hours a nervous-looking Lieutenant Addison and Marvin Tennyson were brought in by the marines, who said nothing, just left the two and departed, locking the door behind them.

“Tough-looking group,” muttered Greg, staring at the closed door. “I don’t happen to like having an assault rifle pointed at me. And it still feels as if we are being held prisoners. Those marines are clearly not to be messed with.”

“Commander Strong, you and your team are okay,” Addison spoke with obvious relief in his voice. “Those marines came into the landing bay. A female voice came over the comm system, ordering us to leave the shuttle and go with the marines. I didn’t think we should resist.”

“You did the correct thing, Lieutenant,” Jason responded with a nod. He was relieved there hadn’t been an incident. “The people on this base are in charge now. We just have to wait and see what happens.”

“But who are they?” Greg asked Jason. Greg had searched the room very thoroughly. There was no way out except through the door they had come in through. “They don’t seem very friendly.”

“Obviously survivors from the Federation’s evacuation fleet,” commented Dr. Oleson. “They seem to be well organized and were waiting for us. It wouldn’t surprise me if there are a lot more.”

“That was Clarissa speaking to us. She survived,” Lisa added, still excited. “She’s as intelligent as Ariel and just as capable.”

“If Clarissa survived, that means the Vindication is here somewhere,” added Jason, looking meaningfully at Greg.

“Did you get a close look at those assault rifles their marines were carrying?” continued Greg, folding his arms across his chest. “We don’t have anything similar that I’m aware of. Those weapons were designed to do some major damage at close range.”

“They obviously have a well-trained security force,” Jason responded. He looked over at Greg. “They’ve acted very professional, which shows a high level of training.”

Greg nodded, realizing Jason was correct. He knew those marines had only been doing their job. “A major part of their military must have survived. I wonder just how many of their warships are inside this asteroid.”

They were interrupted as the door to their holding area opened, and a man and a woman entered. The man was wearing a dark blue military uniform, and the woman was dressed in a colorful blouse and pants. The man was of average height with brown hair and obviously spent a lot of time working out. The woman was a brunette and very striking.

“Hello, I am Keela Ryson, the chief medical officer for this facility,” the woman said in a friendly voice. Then, indicating the officer, she continued. “This is Colonel Runess, our chief of security.”

“We’re pleased to meet you,” Jason said, his gaze sweeping over the two. He noticed quickly that neither were armed.

“How come you’re not wearing protective suits?” asked Andrea, stepping up to stand by Jason. “Are you not worried about possible diseases we may be carrying?”

Keela’s eyes focused on Dr. Oleson, and then she smiled.
