Once you have docked, two of you will stand guard at the airlock while the other two drag the prisoners inside. You must be careful. There is an animal hiding on the freighter that can be dangerous.” “Won’t the prisoners be in danger if they are still stunned and put inside with the animal?” asked one of the soldiers. “Do not ask questions,” sang the General with a stern look that went from soldier to soldier. “Just do the job and protect your fellow warriors. The animals must not be hurt. Only the lowest setting on your weapons may be used. That is the mission, and keeping your mouth shut is what earns you the #reward.” All four soldiers came to attention and saluted General Remus. They turned and strode proudly up the ramp into the shuttle, wondering what their special #reward might possibly be. “Pilot,” called the General. “You know what to do. Lift off!” He turned and covered his eyes as the thrusters engaged and stirred up the dust on the ground. The General wasn’t sure if he would see those four soldiers again or not, but as long as the Successor was happy, he really didn’t care. amazon.com/dp/B09WB2F7Q1

Global Mining Industries had deeded the moon to them and provided the house as a #reward for finding a planet loaded with diamonds. amazon.com/dp/B0DK1JJVNG
