Emilio Torres, now a mal-nuerished and sickly shell of himself, is escorted down a long corridor towards the docking bay on Elbe Station. Having been starved and beaten, he is a defeated man at this point. He holds little hope for himself now. He is loaded onto the armored transport that will take him to Hamburg. He has little hope left and fears that this will be his last flight through space. There are numerous 4'X4' cells in this ship. He is walked past 10 other cells containing prisoners awaiting the same fate that he is.
He is forced onto a bench in one of these cells. His ankles shackeled and chained to two bolts on the bottom of the bench. Each arm is then placed in steel cuffs on either side of him. The door to the cell is then closed and sealed. As he looks around him he does notice that each cell also acts as an escape pod apparently. He hears the noise and commotion of doors being closed and opened and feels the ship begin to move. This was it, if he wasnt rescued now, this would be the last day of his life....
