***

Siray was alone for some time, and she passed it by thinking about what she had seen so far in this mysterious facility. Which wasn’t really much. But it bothered her that she still didn’t have a good sense of how the place functioned, and what it was that she and her friends would do here.

The sudden opening of the door made her jump.

‘Apologies for keeping you waiting, Siray,’ said a male as he walked into the room.

Siray looked at him and had a vague recollection of having seen him before.

He saw her look as he crossed the room to the table. ‘Do you remember me?’

She nodded slowly. ‘I think I saw you just after we came down in the riser from the desert.’

The male gave a curt nod. ‘That’s right. You arrived in a particularly unpleasant condition, which meant we had to put off this little chat.’ Pulling out the chair on the other side of the table from her, he smoothly sat down, clasping his hands together in front of him. ‘I am Captain Huroy, and I’m in charge of this base. I’d like to ask you a series of questions now, and would appreciate your honest answers to them, even if you don’t quite understand the purpose of the question being asked.’ The captain’s tone was clipped and short, although he kept a pleasant expression on his face.

Siray nodded, not really having anything to say. Under the table, she squeezed her hands so that she could feel the sting of her nails biting into her palms.

‘Good.’ He leaned forwards. ‘Tell me where you’re from, Siray.’

‘Lalinta.’

‘And why did you leave?’

Siray hesitated, looking down at the table. Should she tell him about her captivity? Only Baindan and the commander of the whole Resistance knew about that. She looked back up at the captain and saw he was watching her carefully.

‘I didn’t leave. I was captured by the Faction and then rescued by a small group of the Resistance who were scouting nearby.’ That wasn’t a lie, just glossing over unnecessary details.

The captain nodded. ‘And then they took you to the training camp?’

She shook her head. ‘No. First we stopped at the commander’s camp to see to an injury I had received, and then I went on to do my training.’

The captain’s hands moved slightly as he leaned forwards. ‘You were at the commander’s camp?’

Siray nodded.

‘And did you speak with the commander?’

‘Yes. The commander thought I might have potential as a fighter for the cause.’

Captain Huroy nodded, his eyes thoughtful. ‘How long were you at the training camp before it was attacked?’

Siray thought for a moment. ‘I arrived early in the golden time, so …’ She took her best guess. ‘Around eight turns?’

‘And how did you learn of this facility?’

‘Baindan, the male who was recovering in the healing level with me, knew about the locations of three secondary sites. Yet even he didn’t know the exact location of this one.’

‘But,’ the captain pressed, ‘how did he find out about these locations?’

Siray stared at him, frowning at the tone of the question.
