Shadow Force 1: the Garden Planet (13 page)

We installed the eleven women who would be calling this place home for a while, in the officer's wing. After showing them how to operate all the necessities we left, taking the prisoners to the other preserved base. It turned out to be a near duplicate of the first one.

Two days later we turned a bewildered Anwar over to Mohammed the first leg of our mission complete.
