Lincoln picked me up the following day. She was silent as we travelled, and I was glad for that. I was very tense. I had no hope of surviving the day. I was just running on the hope that I could do enough damage to prevent Sledge from achieving their objective. My mind drifted on all sorts of tangents, and I did not realise we had arrived until Lincoln spoke. “Screw Top, you awake? Time to start f*****g stuff up.”
We got out of the transport, and I saw that we were in a transport park. It was already nearly full and there were the sounds of more transports arriving. Lincoln started to walk to an entrance in a pillar and I followed. There was a wide spiral staircase cut into the inside of the pillar and we went down for ten minutes before exiting into an identical transport park. Linco
