to an old guy.’ The two men were struggling to come to terms with what Kelly was saying. ‘I've seen this kind of thing before.’
Buzz was beginning to get fed up, ‘seen what before man?’
‘This,’ he gestured, ‘this mountain of clothing and personal items from people.’
Buzz still didn’t get it, ’where?’
‘Auschwitz.’
The two men stood frozen in horror, Buzz looked at Steven then back to Kelly, ‘you were there?’
‘Yup, and I seen this kind of thing before. Separate the men from the women, the young and the old. You dispose of the young and the old. Of course they could take a few tips from the Nazis, their piles were far better ordered. On the subject of Nazis, you had better see this as well.’ He tossed a tunic at Steven, ‘check out the collar dog’s sir.’
‘Oh shit!’ He showed them to Buzz.
‘Is that what I think it is?’
They both looked at Kelly, ‘Waffen SS, they were the fighting branch of the SS. I also found some Japanese uniforms as well.’
Steven suddenly saw it all, ‘they have been disposing of those they don’t need, so you are saying every one of those bodies they can use to make serum.’
‘Yup, that’s the way I see it captain. You can’t make a gift of even one corpse to those things.’
‘You’re right Sarge, we can’t make a gift of a single body. Somehow we will get them to Earth with us. We could also use some of these clothes. Babe’s has very little material to make clothes from. If we need to waken up some of those people then they will need something to wear.’
‘What I want to know is where the hell did you get a Thompson sub machinegun from Sarge? Buzz inquired.
Kelly grinned, ‘This here is Mary Beth, the first and second love of my life. Both have a fearsome bark and can bring any man to his knees.’
‘You be bloody careful with that thing,’ Buzz warned.
‘You have an armoury sir, I will put her in there along with my other weapons.’
Buzz nodded, ‘that’s good, besides I doubt if your ammunition would work anyway.’
‘It is a bit old,’ Kelly agreed, but it’s still dangerous. If you do get someone down here to grab some of this clothing then you had better be careful.’ He pulled a grenade from his pocket and held it up. ‘There are bound to be lots of this stuff in here somewhere; you will need military men to handle it.’
Steven scratched his head, ‘we really don’t have anybody free at the moment. You are right though, it will be dangerous. This stuff is full of identifications and personal items.’
‘You have resuscitated those like me haven’t you sir, the ones in that transport pod thing?’ Kelly asked.
‘Yes we have, they are in deep shock.’
Kelly stood, and he looked every bit a soldier, ‘give them to me sir. The Doc’s crew have the hang of bagging and tagging those poor souls out there now. I recon we could sort through this stuff. I don’t fancy trying it down here though.’
Steven thought it over. ‘There is lots of room up there plenty tables. Babes could transport it up, and you can sort it out.’
‘I know what I am doing sir; trust me.’
‘I have been told you did a great job today Sarge, thank you for that. Tomorrow you can begin on this. First go get something to eat and then get some sleep.’ He turned to Buzz, ‘that includes you. Now let’s get the hell out of here.’

Komoru stood with Lewis and some of her men on a platform outside the freighter. Ico had to hover beside it, the thing was so big. ‘No sign of life captain,’ one of her scientists reported. ‘No air either if these readings are right.
