Jacob Six was an inhospitable planet capable of supporting life but was it a harsh environment that had not yet attracted human colonists despite having a decent location. Friendly alien colonists that had joined the FEDE didn’t want to settle here either. Sawyer had sent over the planet’s GPS location for where he wanted to meet while en-route and upon arrival, Redding scanned the site to make sure there was nothing untoward about it.

“Captain, as near as I can tell everything appears to be in order down there, but is it wise for you to meet up with this guy, sir?” It was telling of just how flustered she was by this situation that she was so bold to ask him such a question.

Captain glared at Redding in the same way he usually looked at me but only for a moment. He shook his head and muttered something as if correcting himself.

“It will be fine.” He looked at me. “You’re coming. Pick a team of four more.”

I looked around the bridge and called Security Officer Charles Watts and Ensign Jane Redding over, along with two others: Ensign Tim Smith, and Ensign Juan Valdez. We all boarded the lift with the Captain. As we rode down to the shuttle bay, Marchant stood in front with his back to us, bristling with anger, his posture almost daring us to ask any questions about what was going on.

I understood what Sawyer was accused of by the news, but I did not see the connection between him, his sister, and Captain Marchant, at least not in of any of the reported events.

I assumed based on Sawyer’s demand for millions of credits they had tried to con Captain Marchant and that he had done something to them in return.

I had tried to look up the Red Survivor logs for the last five years to see if there was any record of Sawyer or his sister Mina on board, but as I had only been with the ship for the last year, I could only see the ship records that went back that far. This was my first time as commander, so I did not know if this was normal procedure or if this was something Captain Marchant had done to intentionally keep things hidden from me. When we got to the shuttle bay I looked at Ensign Redding.

“You fly the transport, Ensign.” She gave me a look that told me that she wished I had not involved her in this crazy mission, but I shrugged it off. She had insisted that things should not be awkward between us and that she didn’t want me to avoid her or give her any special treatment, so I hadn’t given it a second thought when ordering her to come.

Captain Marchant was already entering the shuttle bay, not waiting as per protocol for all the others to go before him.

He’s rattled if he forgot that.

I shook my head as I waited for the rest of our team to exit and board the shuttle before following after.
