Uncharted Stars
“Eet’s warning came, to match my own guess as to where we were being taken. We again climbed through the levels to the higher ways of the station, this time passing the one where the Orbsleon had his quarters.

I was motioned through a roll door, my guards remaining outside. They made a half-hearted attempt to stop Eet,... but he suddenly developed an agility he had not shown before and pushed past them. I thought it odd they did not follow. Then, a moment later, I discovered why the inhabitant of these particular quarters did not need their attendance, for with another step I struck rather painfully against a force wall.

Beyond that invisible barrier the room was furnished as might be one in a luxury caravansary on some inner planet.MoreLess
