civilizations and separated
them from primitive planet bound ones.
        “I guessed that much myself,” the
suited man chuckled, “that is why I am here. I am Chief Detective Rockvyk
Torryen of SPASI, in charge of the detective matters on this planet and the
entire Zarrvyk’s province.”
        And spy activities, Remus though. SPASI
was the Spy and Detective department of the Starfire Empire, albeit the
civilian branch and he was not surprised to be met by them.
        “Detective Rockvyk, I am here to see
Regional Star Commander,” Remus said.
        “Exactly where we are going,” Rockvyk
said and took out a metal bar from his pocket and handed it to Remus, “please
keep this with you at all time. Not that we intend to ever allow you to wander
off by yourself, but this will locate you and even protect you in ways I cannot
disclose. Now please, come with us, I will have your bags hauled up later.”
        “Thanks,” Remus said taking the metal
bar and walking out of his ship. He walked alongside Rockvyk and they got in
the airship along with the guards. The airship lifted up in the air till it
reached a height of 25 feet and then suddenly accelerated towards the city.
     
        Magyar “The Silencer” Harwyk landed his
personal spaceship on the moon of the planet Bravo. This planet had only one
moon and it was a stark and desolate place of chalk-like dust and granite-like
rocks, unlike the watery and leafy planet that Starfirians had found and
settled. There were barely any settlements here and what there were consisted
of research stations and military bases with energy ray cannons to protect
Bravo from invasion.
        Magyar hated to be rushed but his
client had dangled so much money in front of him that he could not resist.
Greed was likely to get him jailed or killed one day, but if he succeeded
today, he would disappear in deep space for a long hiatus. He would have to
because every SPASI detective for a hundred light years would be out looking
for him.
        He felt tired and he felt space lagged
and his plan was haphazardly put together, still he had a reputation to
maintain too. The Silencer was one of the most notorious assassins in Starfire
Empire and one with a hundred percent record. Magyar checked his laser pistol
once again and then looked through the binoculars over the deserted landscape.
He saw dust, rocks and a single building with a large telescope protruding out
in the sky. He put aside his binoculars and threw up his bag across his
shoulder and started walking very slowly to avoid bouncing off in the low
gravity of the moon.
        He came to a stop in front of the door
of the observatory and hid his pistol inside the pocket of his space jacket. He
pressed the bell a couple of times and a man in his early 30’s opened the door.
        “Yes,” the man said.
        “Was headed to Bravo but my spaceship
is sputtering and belching smoke,” he said pointing to his spaceship, “Wonder
if you have some repair parts.”
        “Not sure, I am an astronomer and don’t
know anything about spaceship engines” the man replied, “But we have parts to
repair telescope. See if some might be of dual use.”
        “Appreciate,” Magyar replied and walked
in and closed the door behind. There was a woman in her late 20s calibrating
the telescope who looked up at them.
        “Sorry for the intrusion, madam,”
Magyar smiled, “just looking for some repair parts.”
        “Oh…” she said and went back to her
work.
        “Husband and wife team?” Magyar asked.
        “No,” the man grinned, “colleagues, she
is an astronomer too.”
        Magyar smiled. Something about the
man’s grin indicated that they were more than just colleagues and a man and a
woman all alone locked up in a small building on a desolate moon and Magyar did
not have to figure further.
        “What do you folks do here?” Magyar
asked, “Why not put the telescope out near the
