“Thank you, Lieutenant,” Dent replied. The officer snapped a quick salute and turned back to his station. Well, that’s some good news at least, Dent thought. There had been a bit of a situation when they had tried to take the man off the pleasure moon.
The ground team had done a good job on the pickup. Dent supposed “capture” was probably the better term in this particular situation. The guy had tried to run, but the team reacted quickly and had taken him into custody. Thankfully the UENN Wake Darmekus was able to get underway quickly after his capture and would be planet side before their deadline.
Captain Dent let out a sigh of relief as the vessel continued to accelerate. He would be happy to get this guy off his ship and into someone else’s custody. Perhaps his next mission would be something he could really pour his heart into, something more honorable than being a taxi service.
