Nemo Solus Sapit: Part 13 – The Mission
In the midst of Hank’s feverish visions, Sprague stood over him, filling his field of view.

“Well you did it now, Gupta,” said Sprague, checking his watch. “Global News Network is all over you.”
“What happened?”
“You crashed your car. We found you unconscious outside of it. You’re lucky we picked you up before GNN did. That would have been a very bad for you.”
“How bad?”
“Disavowed bad. If Warner had his way you’d be gone already. But I have a better idea.”
Guppy didn’t like the sound of that.
“You remember Hector?”
“Yes, at the Van Dyson Center. He was the orderly who inducted me into Majestic-12.”
“We lost track of him. He stopped contacting us shortly after drafted you. He was monitoring Van Dyson for some kind of cult-related activity. Frankly, I don’t care about any of that. But we don’t abandon one of our own. I want you to find out what happened to Hector.”
Guppy should have been filled with panic, but he was strangely detached. He’d been drugged. “You’re sending me back there?”
“More than that. You’re going in deep cover. No cistron. No weapon. No support. If you don’t get yourself out…you don’t get out.”
“But—“ Sprague seemed to have missed the irony of his words.
“This is the only way, Gupta. You’re going to have to disappear for awhile. For your sake, I hope it’s only awhile and not forever.”
Sprague put his hand over Guppy’s eyes and all was dark.
“Good luck.”
