Gabe bowed his head at the two senior officers. He had never met either
of them before, but he hoped he could prove helpful with the mysteries
he had become involved that seemed to be centered around the facility
he had been rescued from.
"Mr. Ares. Welcome to Spacedock. What kind of details can you document
for us?"
"Thank you, sir, " replied the young officer. "My companion and I did
not have a lot of direct contact with the people that had taken us, but
we were able to get some impressions about them. For one, they did not
seem like they had taken us because they had planned to. I got the
impression that we were captured more because we had been somewhere
they did not want us. If they didn't want us to spread the word about
what we had seen, they had no choice but to imprison us."
"Wrong place at the wrong time.....all right go ahead."
Gabe paused for a moment to consider the question. It was not that he
did not know the answer, but he wanted to put together in way that
included all of the pertinent informaiton. As usual, he was the typical
scientist. "Over the few days that Janice and I were held, we met about
nine different guards. All of them were human. They were both male and
female, and appeared to be of varying racial and ethnic backgrounds.
They did not speak directly with us, but we did overhear them talking
to each other from time to time, and they always used English."
"What things did you overhear them speaking about?"
K'Tael was impressed that the scientist had been able to recall so many
specifics, particularly since he was under a great deal of stress at
the time. He listened in as the CO led the debriefing.
"Most of it seemed like regular conversations you would have between
two people. They were talking about some sort of accident that took
place on Mars. It did not make a lot of sense to me, but they seemed
pretty happy about things."
