As soon as Mad Dawg left Johnson said, “I wonder how many more of our friends are going to die this time around?”

It was early Saturday morning and Commodore Parker just arrived home. He spent the night at his office passed out from drinking his favorite poison. When he got to his front door he notices that his house was broken into. He walked in his home shocked by the fact that he has just been robbed.
“Fuckin’-A! Goddamn it all to fucking hell!” He screamed in rage and threw the bottle of Martian Whiskey. It shattered on the wall near the kitchen.
“Goddamn fuckin’ assholes! How dare they do this to me.” He screamed out again. He then notices the drug paraphernalia on his coffee table. But what disgusted him the most is when he noticed that there are several used condoms on the coffee table as well.
“Sick! Oh, fuck! Goddamn I hate this fucking place!” He cried out both in rage and frustration.
Did it ever occur to him that somebody might do something like that? Break into his house and rob him. After all he did create the habit of being drunk on Friday and end up passed out at his office. He is well known in the city, and he does make good money. Maybe he should have stick to his original plan and buy that new security home system, instead of wasting his money on gambling. He’s not a betting man, but he just wanted to get away from Roscadia. But where was he planning on going? He is a Commodore. It’s not like he could just quit his job or go on a vacation. He’s going to be stuck there for years. So where was he going to go if he did won? He should have known better.

Vaistll, Lieutenant Sanchez, Chief Petty Officer Coté, Crewwoman Venito and Van Hoven was in the women’s restroom peeing for what seemed like an eternity. They could have gone to their quarters to do that, but like anybody who just came out of cryo-sleep they just couldn’t hold it in. It’s the nanoprobes that allow the crew to be frozen for a long trip is the reason. The nanoprobes break down the ice crystals in the body, which prevents the ice crystals from damaging tissue cells. Once the person is brought out of cryo-sleep the nanoprobes goes to the bladder causing the person to urinate a lot. The nanoprobes goes there to be gotten rid of
Each one of them kept on thinking about their mission. They knew that something very serious was going on at Golden Hyperion. They could feel the darkness of the EOD that grips at their soul. That sinking feeling that one is about to open the pit of hell and jump in. It is a never-ending nightmare that will haunt you until the day that you die. For it will teach you that evil has no limits.
You could see both the fear and the concern in their eyes, except for Vaistll. Ever since she came out of cryo-sleep something else has been bothering her. It was strange that she should have the feeling. Last time that she had it was when she first arrived on Earth. It was the feeling of her people. It was a feeling that told her that she is getting near them. It was like they are somewhere close by. She wished she knew if they were up to something. Is it something bad? Or is it something else? If so, then what could it be? What could they be up to? Have they join forces with the EOD? Is that what awaits them at Golden Hyperion?
She tried her best to put it out of her head. It was something that she did not want to bother her while she was at Roscadia. She wanted to have a good time, not to be bothered by bad memories. Nor did she want those memories to bother her before she left to go on her mission. She decided to put it out of her head by thinking about something else. She eventually found something; the history of the struggle between Project 21 and the EOD:
The EOD (the Era of Darkness) is a secret society that was created somewhere in the US at some point in the 1980’s. The only thing that is known about its founder is that he
