It took some convincing to get the Republic Patrol to accept the incident as human internal affair but finally they left the station. You decided not to tell them about the secret research facility on the other side of the moon.
While Michael escorted your guest to the ship, he activated some remote control which launched the fightercraft on autopilot to gods know where.
After quite a haggle the droid agrees to release your ship's computer in exchange for a trip back to Segdiiri homeworld as soon as possible, and for your promise to not tell anyone about him.
After your return to Unity you had a disagreement with Admiral Nelson on wether or not the things you found on the secret station were included on your salvage rights. Afterall, he had agreed on them only because he thought you wouldn't notice the research base. But since the gear didn't officially exist at all, and not even all of the Council knew of it he had no choice but to let you keep them.
It was during your debriefing that both Michael and Faris left you. Michael had been offered a research position on attempting to find a cure for the artificial virus that had wiped the way station and infected the mysterious man who now lay in cryo-sleep. And Faris couldn't tell you much what had happened, but he had received a more lucrative offer on Unity Special Services. Back in the security where his training had been, but now on more secretive assignment.
Finally it was over and you were ready to continue onwards...
