The Facility - New arrivals

One night, after her training, Clarissa jumped up from the sound of the entire station shaking around her. She noticed that there was a cruiser leaving one of the ports, burning her engines on full throttle as she was about to enter FTL.

She recalled that this was a Coalition vessel. She recognized it from the dark hull and the red engine exhaust. She heard about cases when the Coalition sold prisoners to the zetans from their war with Earth. She thought this must be one of these cases.

For a moment she felt sorry for those who were brought on board. But after that she started to think about herself. With the new arrivals Mistress Veronica will be busy. Very busy. This means she would go easy on her.
