ehind some emergency funds and contact details, Dominic and his team wasted no time. They rushed to the spaceport arded the fastest military transport headed for the infamous mining world–KD–771.
he surface of KD–771 was buried beneath thick clouds of toxic, radiation–laced dust that blocked out nearly ali light.
Massive mechanized mining pits scarred the planet like open wounds, plunging into endless depths.
The makeshift living and work zones were barely protected by energy shields strong enough to keep out the worst of the environment, yet inside, the air was still thick with dust, noise, and an invisible weight that pressed down on the mind.
Wearing protective suits and armed with special clearance, Dominic and his two teammates entered Mining Sector 7, where Norman was believed to be.
The conditions were worse than expected. The energy shields flickered weakly, and the air reeked of mineral dust and machine oil.
Workers moved like lifeless parts on an assembly line, their eyes dull, their steps hurried.
After considerable effort, they finally got a lead from a miner who had just come off shift that Norman was still underground in the D–7 deep tunnel. He was working with a man named Emmett,

Deep inside the tunnel, under dim, flickering light, Norman was curled on the ground, clutching his head with both hands, his body convulsing violently, rolling as if tying to escape the agony.
Veins bulged across his forehead, and his eyes were bloodshot, nearly bulging out. Incoherent screams tore from his throat.
Beside him, a broad–built man with a scar across his face, also in a miner’s uniform, was desperately trying to restrain him.
One hand clamped Norman’s jaw, while the other held a syringe, aiming for his neck.
However, Norman struggled too violently to hold still.
“Norman! Don’t move! The injection will help! Just hold on!” the scarred man shouted, drenched in sweat.
From Dominic’s perspective, the scene was easy to misread. It looked like a man was forcing an unknown substance into someone writhing in pain.
“Stop!” Dominic roared. He and his teammates lunged forward like predators, ready to subdue the scarred man.
Emmett was startled for a split second, but he reacted fast.
