He read, pursing his lips: "Home Planet: Chargon. Notify in case of accident or death: Mrs. Victoria Orne, mother." He leafed through the pages, reluctant to send the hated message. Orne had enlisted in the Marak Marines at age seventeen a runaway from home and his mother had given post-enlistment consent. Two years later: scholarship transfer to Uni-Galacta, the R&R school here on Marak.
