I walked out of the cell and over to the base control center. I put my head in and spoke directly to the Commandant. “The prisoner is dead,” I told him. “Cremate the body, and throw the ashes into the sea. Expunge his records from your system. He has never been here, understood?”566Please respect copyright.PENANAxDQdD1BIJV

It was getting dark outside; I hate flying over the open ocean at night, even with Navcom. “Since it is too late to fly back to Hilo this evening, have my plane refuelled and ready for departure tomorrow morning at first light.” With that I went to bed and slept soundly. Ernie handed me a glass of my favourite bourbon. “So how do we prevent this in the future?” 566Please respect copyright.PENANAAtGpfkjH9f

“You mean how do we prevent our people from acting like normal human beings? Good question. My gut feeling says we don’t. My recommendation to Administrator Martins was that once we appoint people to positions like DAC, we keep them close within our sphere of influence.

Doctor Limned’s only real crime was that he was a decent human being living in a world where most decent human beings are going to be dead soon. Only the Machiavellian bastards like you and me are going to live through this. That doesn’t give much hope for the future, to have a world full of people like us, does it?”566Please respect copyright.PENANASBxMuJ98Mv

“Doesn’t really matter,” Ernie said swilling his scotch.566Please respect copyright.PENANA3wGxo8TTMi

“Not in the least,” I told him. I still shuddered at the thought.

“Jess... Jess... Wake up!” My mother screamed to me. “ We looked over a confidential file that we found in a secret safe hidden by Doctor Limned and you might not like this however I have got a case for you dear and you shall be very, very interested in this and some may describe it as a blast from the past...”
