by G.N. Took-Baggins

When Dorian fesses up on why he was decommissioned, Kennex is curious. We get a look into the past and strange events ensue.

Red. Blue. Red. Blue. Red again.

Again and again, this cycle repeated.

I turned back to him sharply, angrily. "What?"

He watched me with fierce, yet blank eyes. "Where is DRN-0167?"
