 Director Javert is at a loss. While he is berating staff, the Planetary Duke arrives to understand what is going on. In the confusion, Director Castillon tells the crew to take Derson and go find their friend based on Viktor’s lead. The team races to the //Starlight Drifter// and prepares to travel. The ship’s cat, as of yet still unnamed, is already in their newly purchased used [[game_systems:traveller:vehicles:Inchilah_Civilian_Patrol_Cruiser_used| In'chi'lah patrol cruiser]]. Viktor plans to keep an eye on it. Agent Derson gets them clearance to fly the In'chi'lah out of the downport, and they exist via a long grav car tunnel. Help is now racing across the icy-rocky planet.  Director Javert is at a loss. While he is berating staff, the Planetary Duke arrives to understand what is going on.

 Still, the scientist, Dr. Mukam Saadai, had not closed his tablet. Viktor keeps the screen open, but sees it is all in Zhodani. Fortunately, Sharri carries a translator program on her personal computer. Together, Viktor cobbles an interface and downloads the data to his security comm unit. It seems the scientists are experimenting with the local psionically active bacteria in ways to increase psionic potential. They cannot transport it away from the local area because the bacteria needs its own kind nearby or it dies. They are trying to synthesize one that is jump capable and that is the very materials that the traitor Agent Jase brought to the planet.  Still, the scientist, Dr. Mukam Saadai, had not closed his tablet.

 As Viktor stands up, Rally shoots at him with his crossbow. Viktor notices just in time to dive for cover. Galen stuns Rally who seems as confused as everyone else. Viktor yells out //”Get the Cameras”// and he and Derson shoot the two in the room. The group is startled with a door slides open and stun grenade is thrown into the room. They return fire at two attackers in the door way, but most of the team fires wildly with the surprise. Denson manages to score a hit before the attackers can do more. After a brief firefight, both guards are down. Viktor calls for the other two doorways into the conference room to be watched while he and Galen head down to check out the opened corridor. However, three steps in, the door to the north slides open showing three more guards with combat rifles. This time the team is ready. The three in the room take cover and shoot, while Galen and Viktor maneuver for shots. Sharri hits Denson with a simulant to keep him active as he takes several hits. However, he gives as good as he gets and takes down a guard. Viktor takes aim and blows the head off of the lead guard. Galen chargers the last man standing with his axe, slicing through his defenses. Viktor goes to check the west hallway while Rally heads to the east. It is then that Galen walks over and strikes her with his axe. Derson tackles him against the wall, holding his axe arm, while Sharri falls over. With his other hand, Derson shuts the doorway, closing of vision with the hallway cameras. Viktor races to perform first aid on the fallen woman, who is only barely conscious. He is able to stabilize her, but she is still clearly dangerously wounded. For his part, Galen is quiet and subdued.  As Viktor stands up, Rally shoots at him with his crossbow.

 Help arrives in the form of Director Castillion and her crew, sans the traitor. Medical teams attend to Sharri and Derson while reviewing the pods. While debriefing the team, they start the wake up process, first on Hanson as he is a known experienced military man.  Help arrives in the form of Director Castillion and her crew, sans the traitor.

 //Hanson has been dreaming of being a teen in school. It is a warm place, with inviting people and more technology than he had growing up in his rural childhood. It is a private school, with only three other younger children, Tangie, Alecia, and Rogeaire. All of them are learning to use their minds. Dr. Lofficiers is the headmaster, and Mr. Saadi, Ms. Entun and Ms. Olok are the teachers. Each student gets one on one training. Time is hard to track in the school, and like in a dream, things jump around. This all seems perfectly normal. // //Hanson has been dreaming of being a teen in school.
