Chapter 40

Octavian Karr

Commander Karr leaned on the railing overlooking the charge ports of the three Syth-L lifeforms.

One male and two females made up Operation Salvus. They lay in their respective charging pods. The head of each of the three pods protruded out from the central round power cell in the middle.

From his elevated perspective, the pods, each about the size of a bed, looked like flower petals attached to a stem.

A handful of scientists scrambled around between the three Syth-Ls and their computer terminals. They wore white lab coats and didn't know the one who controlled their funding watched them. Their heads were either buried in the computer terminal or their data-pads.

The Syth-L Assassination team was a long way from being ready, but it appeared their entire exoskeletons were finished. It must surely be only software and programming that was needed by now.

Footsteps on the metal railing alerted him.
