After a long journey back to the Empire, Erich and his crew deposited their prisoner at the nearest starport, which was taken into custody by the agents of the Imperial Intelligence Services. Having completed two missions, as well as the first phase of his training. Erich was now given a temporary status of leave.
Unfortunately, he was not able to return to Ayumi's loving arms, or the massive breasts of his wife. Instead, Erich was immediately shipped off to the next level of his training. If becoming a Tier I WRAITH meant you had to survive on your own while being hunted by an army. Then the training to become a Tier II WRAITH was much simpler.
Erich soon found himself separated from his unit, and did not even say any farewells. After all, once he completed his training, he would be sent right back to active duty. Instead, he was geared up with a set of standard Star Marine Power Armor, and dispatched to the frontier world of Lugii.
