Chapter One: Meeting in Kepler.
As Cassian reaches Ames Research Station, in Kepler, he docks on Hangar Bay 4. Where he meets four strangers, with masks and clothes covered in glyphs. The strangers stop Cassian from going into the bar, grabbing his hands and tying them up. After while of going through the empty corridors on the lower section of Ames, Cassian loses his patience and says: "Who the hell are you? How dare you disturb my break?!". The strangers keep leading him on the corridors, without saying any words. A few minutes later, they reach a door, covered in moss and rust. One of the strangers say: "Move, he wants to speak with you". Cassian enters the room. Inside the room, is a man, wearing a mask and a robe, having only one unique glyph. The room has only two chairs and a desk, accompanied by a candle. The man revealed himself as Harbinger. "Well...hello, mister Cassian. Have you enjoyed the travel?" he said. "All in all....yeah...but I guess when you arrive from a long travel you don't get a break...", Cassian said, smiling and still confused. Harbinger, amused, puts on the table two glasses and a bottle which appears to be Sake. "Here, drink this, You'll feel more relaxed after drinking something". As he speaks, he pours into the glasses the Sake, putting only in Cassian's glass a very colored plant. Cassian drinks his glass in one blow: "Thanks, you know how to make your guests comfortable". Harbinger, taking a sip from his glass, interviewing Cassian and watching the clock sitting in the corner of the room. After the interview, Harbinger says: "Was a pleasure chatting with you,
mister Cassian. I'm afraid that now's the time to move. Will you join?". As the strangers turn around to their ships and Harbinger leaves the room, Cassian joins enthusiastically, without knowing what horrors and pain he will have to endure.
"How are you feeling now, Cassian", said Harbinger. Cassian started sweating and looking a bit dizzy. "Uh...I...am...fine...", said Cassian,before fainting on the floor. All he heard was Harbinger's words: "Stay calm, child, you will not die just yet, we will wake you up once we reach our destination, but your ship can not travel, we are not using outsider's ships". The strangers placed explosives on Cassian's ship, and launched it with the autopilot in Space, followed by the ship being blown somewhere where no one would find its wreck. Later on, Cassian was tied up and placed in a "Grizzly" class Shuttle, covered in glowing glyphs. A few minutes later, the strangers and Harbinger enter the Shuttle, undocking from Hangar Bay 3 and heading to Denko Cloud, where the supposed Mobile Base "Temple of Zeraya" owned by The Cult is rumored to be located in.
