บท 264: The A-Cells (1)

Jason and his crew took another week to leave the Nether Regions once they secured their target. Without delay, they headed for their hidden base located in Sector 2, Region 3—on the outskirts of the empire's territory. 

The base was hidden in a partially destroyed star system with no civilization in sight, hidden in a space pocket that appeared like a veil tear and because no one really paid attention to this area, it was easy to hide.

Shortly after arriving in the hidden pocket, Jason and his men transported the passed-out Alex to their research facility where he was put in a stasis pod.
