Snippet #770615

Sol led Jayna out of the warehouse and down a long corridor before he paused outside a non-descript door. He opened it, revealing a room bare except for a small desk and two chairs. There was no sign as to what it had been used for back when the warehouse had been functional except for the drains that were set into the floor but Sol knew it had once been where bundles of the alloy used to build the super-lightweight structures of floating Yudean cities had been sprayed with chemical coating to prevent their corrosion.

He held it open for her before going inside himself and taking a seat on one side of the table.

"Sit down," he said, simply, as he stretched his legs out in front of him.

His discovery of Jayna had been fortuitous. One of the contacts on their payroll worked as a low-level lab technician in a government facility and had stumbled across the files of a top-secret project apparently going-on within the bowels of the laboratory complex. With a reward in mind, the contact had dug deeper and had finally secured details of what was going on- a weapon. Nothing new, perhaps, except that this weapon was in the form of a woman.

Within weeks, Sol had variously paid, tortured and conned out the timing of her transfer to another facility from anyone he could get his hands on. One swift roadblock later, two of his men were dead but Jayna was his.

"Tell me about yourself," he said, with a smile. "Tell me about your life at the facility."
