A life of danger

[Landers]

Viktor and his commander were walking on a corridor, when a young beautiful women passed them. She looked into Viktor's eyes and smiled nicely. Viktor looked after her as she walked away with the usual feminine walking. He just stared at her when he realized the commander pushed him into the briefing room.

„The months in the Hauptflotte made you to forget paying attention?”

„I’m sorry Commander Weber.”

„Please have a seat.”

Viktor sat down on a chair right next to a table. The room was dark, only the lamp was giving some light above the table. The place is changed much. Viktor had no idea if it’s because of the lack of light, but he felt the whole place different and alien. He was looking around for a few seconds, the room was empty and quiet. He remembered all of his briefings here and now he’s „just a soldier”.

„You know Viktor, we never had the opportunity to talk with you after Dämmerung. We thought the best was if we let you rest after it.”

As Weber talked, he opened a notebook and made it ready for recording.

„Please tell me what exactly happened.”

„With all due respect Commander Weber, that’s why you ordered me here to Schatten to talk about things which happened months ago?”

Weber’s serious looking made Viktor sigh, so he started telling what he had seen. He told everything about their plans in the Omicrons, Agent Dronjak, the hallucination. As he mentioned the jump hole, he saw a flashlight. For some seconds he was starring at it then he closed his eyes. As he opened them again, he was in Omicron Delta again, the whole thing seemed real, though it was just a memory.

„Schatten zwei und drei, join the formation.”
„Roger that Schatten eins.”
…

„Unidentified Rheinland ship, this is Agent Amott, BDM. Explain yourself now!.
…
„This is Agent Dronjak, Rheinland Military Intelligence Agency.”
…

„Follow me to the jump hole, I found something which is what we are looking for.”
…

„Viktor?......Viktor?!”

Viktor was at the table again.
