Induction

The journey to Earth wasn't the problem. Ryuga had plenty of reading material and things to do, and the ship was pretty fast. It only took him about a month or so to get there. And traveling alone wasn't a problem either - the other Wyverns were needed back home, in case the Benthians brought more trouble. He'd miss them, of course, but he'd been assured he could stay in contact, so that was alright.

He understood his orders well enough. Rumours were going around that somebody on Earth was supplying the Benthians with their tech. How and why, nobody could guess - no ships had ever been reported carrying such cargo into Porphyrian airspace. So Ryuga had to invesitage. Laura had promised to handle much of that, so the boy wasn't too worried about that part.

The problem was, upon disembarking, he was told to report directly to the Base Commander in her office with all the other pilots.
