AH' NAVIS, TVSALSO MADE SOME

INQUIRIES ABOUTTHEFIRST POSTINGS OFTHE MILITARY MEDICALUNITTHAT DIED IN

[ THE PRISON.NIGHT,

Battle cruisers, Admirals' flagships, war transports, supply ships...

these are some of the thousands of vessels which make up a formidableinterstellar convoy, launched to search for new inhabitable planets. A convoy

named Wake, aboard which all sorts of beings, with many different beliefs live side

by side, but where one species remains unknown : the Human beings.

Navis needs Rib’wund to dismantle the Planet Traffic, which erodes Wake.Unfortunately the prison, in which he’s incarcerated, is in the middle of a riot.

Entering it is strictly prohibited, but that doesn’t bother Navis.

Once inside, she will quickly learn that she isn't trained to put up with such

unrestrained violence. In her struggle to survive, she learns more about the

white bands which striate her body. But, on the other end of the universe, someoneis watching and he’s resolved not to let a Human take such risks. He’s really

counting on her to get out of the Maximum Security Section alive.
