It was my first day stationed at the sector 9 D.S. (Deep Space) Depot. This remote post was one of the quietest spots in this sector. News has been coming out that something big was going to go through hear but as usual it was top secret stuff that a Private (Ulu Osen) like me would never know about. My whole quadrant was stationed there, so you know there was going to be something news worthy happening, or maybe we were just a decoy again for something happening somewhere else. Since the Sector 9 commander got shot security has been beefed up all over the surrounding sectors.
Word had got out to the crew that the added security was not a result of our commanders’ death, but rather the result of him passing along classified materials to the officers on his staff. He knew what was going to happen at Sector 9 and wouldn’t stand for it. Marshalls already had arrived at Sector 9 and a manhunt was underway to find those officers before they escaped. I was torn, what would I do if I stumbled upon one of my commanding officers? Would I aid him? Would I turn him in? I think that is all dependent upon what the information was. I would have to know what was so important that would make the Sector 9 Commander give up his life. So at that moment I determined I would leave my post in search of the truth even if it meant that I too would be considered a traitor.
