"Wake up, Arty."

My eyes shot open and I sat straight up. The emptiness of space surrounded me, but the ground beneath me was solid. Dirty. Uninviting. Cold. But solid.

Cast once again against the sun was a the cloaked figure I'd seen earlier. As he stepped into view, the light moved to illuminate his face. It was Rhett.

"What are you... where are we? How am I breathing?"

"We're on Neptune's asteroid, Doc. XR-247, to be precise. Not a very poetic name, but poetry isn't what he wanted when he came here. You can breathe because I installed a biosphere generator here. There's air, there's gravity, and if you look over there," he said, motioning towards a modest house, "you'll see that there are even grass and trees."

"You... installed it? You knew where he was the whole time?"

"Oh, come on, Doc. It was, like, so obvious. Everyone knew but you."

"Who's everyone?"

"Never mind. I brought Neptune here soon after you were imprisoned to help keep him safe from those who might want to hurt him. That includes you."

"I... I don't want to hurt him."

"Oh, I think you very much do. I saved your life because I think everyone deserves a chance to live. I thought that maybe there was a chance to talk some sense into you. But if you try to approach Neptune's home, I /will/ stop you."

"But... I've come so far! I've been through so much. I've given up any chance I'll ever have again at freedom. I'm going to talk to Neptune, and I /will/ reach him!" I unsheathed Neptune's staff, and pointed it at him.

"Come on, Arty. Give me everything you've got!"
