They stood atop the hill, gazing down at the sprawling compound that lay before them. Glael immediately took charge. "Alright, here's the plan. I'm a lieutenant bringing you in as a captured Colonist. You gave me some trouble, so I'm taking you straight to Command. You are dazed and confused. You remember nothing. Got it?" Elias nodded. "Let's go." Glael grabbed Elias by his collar and started dragging him down the hill. He walked with an air of authority, and the guards let him through. Elias, being true to character, moaned and groaned some, and Glael yelled at him. Eventually a soldier stopped them.
"Eh, who are you and where ya goin to?" He asked.
"That's no way to speak to your superiors! I should have you beaten for that. Now, as for where I'm going, I caught one of these stupid wanderers out by the city." Glael informed him. "Alright, take him to the Camp. Dock A7 down there."
"No, this one gave me trouble, I'm taking him straight to Command." "Whatever, Dock D3." and Glael dragged Elias to the shuttle, and had no further trouble. They were the only ones on the ship, and there was no pilot. "Can you fly this thing?" Elias said when there was no danger of being overheard. "This is my first time, so-" he was cut off by the sound of the ion engine roaring to life. "HANG ON!!" The shuttle shot out of the hangar and into the unknown.
