To Cora Colony




9005 [Novus Era 30]
Quintillis 28
Location: Kartellan ship bound to Cora HQ

"The ship bound to Occupation area is leaving please buy your tickets..."

I just remembered that I don't have any money and when I looked at the person in command of the brigade he immediately said

"No need to think about the tickets we are on official business"

And then he said no more... We stepped on the platform and then a flash of light from the floor covered our bodies and the next thing I knew we were inside the ship.

"Please make yourself comfortable" said the officer with his fake grin.

His two companions grabbed my arms and took me to the lowest part of the ship. It was a big room and I guess it was made for briefings. They threw me there unceremoniously, I fell down the floor with a loud thud.

"What the-" I tried to say someting but it was cut by the soldier.

"You are not allowed to roam anywhere, don't even think about escaping!" Then he and his companion guarded both doors of the room and stayed still. Their looks were like of a tiger, eyeing their prey and watching every move I make.

"Arrgh!" I tried to release the anger that filled my chest. I was just enjoying my stay at Cora wharf then these people took me without notice. And threw me here like I was an animal, to talk to some bishop I don't even know of.

After feeling that my chest was a bit lighter than it was 10 minutes ago I tried to sit down but then...

"This is the Captain speaking... We are approaching Cora Colony... Please take all your belongings with you"

"It's time." The officer said as he entered the room. "Ryone Snapdragon I ask you to be polite in the best way possible when talking to the Bishop." He added, still with the fake grin which now I find annoying.

And we stepped out of the platform and the rays of light from the high sun hit my eyes...
