Davi snapped to attention and saluted. Remmy got to his feet, reclaimed his bottle, and headed for the door. Doctor Anderson caught up to him just as the guards on the other side started walking him and Davi to their new quarters. “Remmy, hold a moment.”
“Can I interest you in a drink, Doctor?” Remmy asked.
“Maybe later,” he replied. “But in case I don’t get a chance to visit before we drop you off on the Tamber Moon, I have some information that could help.” Davi stepped in close at Doctor Anderson’s urging gesture. “I’ll make sure they drop you off in Port Rush, where you can get in contact with Ayan Rice. If you want to join her crew, all you have to tell her is Doctor Anderson sent you, and if she has any doubts, play this for her.” He sent a music file to Remmy and Davi’s comm units - Vivaldi’s Four Seasons.
“I’d rather listen to Stonemark, but to each their own,” Remmy said.
“Trust me, she’ll know that music is from me, especially the first Concerto.”
“Thank you, Doc,” Remmy said. “Any other advice?”
Doctor Anderson regarded them both and, after a moment’s thought spoke. “Never forget that you did the best you could to help strangers when most of us would have run.”
“Even you, Doc?” Remmy asked.
“I’ll be finding out soon enough,” Doctor Anderson replied.
