The Delphos hovercraft stopped at the place they had indicated to him, there was nothing there beyond a mound of rocks, he dismounted, surprised. Had he made a mistake with the coordinates? Suddenly, a laser destroyed a nearby rock, Furlien was about to take out his blaster when six armed men appeared from behind the mound pointing assault rifles at him.
"Don't move and give us that blaster, you won't need it where you're going."
The former cadet obeyed, they also made him take off his pilot suit, his compression bracelet and everything else he was wearing, they gave him a strange suit, more similar to a military uniform than formal clothing and they took him away on foot.
They walked through the wasteland for at least two kilometers until they reached a transport ship, they put him in the hold and left him escorted by two of the mercenaries while the rest climbed into the cabin.
