“Thanks, Celine. We’ll be ready for them,” Spacedawg replied, ending the transmission.

“We did our best. Now, it’s up to the specialists to take it from here,” Spacedawg replied, trying to bolster the team’s spirits.

The prisoners were led away, shackled and watched closely by RCSC guards.

“Good riddance,” J.J. muttered, watching the last of the prisoners disappear into the RCSC ship.

Spacedawg joined him, his gaze steely. “This is far from over. We still need to figure out what happened to the Talon.”

With the prisoners and the Talon handed over, the Mandoleer’s Folly prepared for its next mission. On the bridge, Spacedawg issued his orders.
