The funeral was held on the moonbase. The aftermath of the surrender of the Hayward's crew and Dumitrescu's techs on the moonbase had tied up everyone for a little over a week. The funeral was scheduled when the hectic pace had slowed down.
Colonel Haddis had negotiated the parole of his mercenaries. He was able to keep most of his ships, but did surrender several of his patrol craft to augment the Ragnor fleet. He also agreed to reparations to the families of the combatants that were killed during the moonbase assault.
Dumitrescu's lieutenants and the rest of his subordinates would stand trial for the genocide perpetrated on the Ragnor colonists. They were being held on the moonbase until the trials started.
Joe stood up and walked to the lectern. The family had agreed that he was to give the eulogy. It was a moving speech filled with remembrances and lauding those who gave their all to fight the evil that had come unwanted to their door.
Colonel Haddis was in attendance. He had said that one of the greatest testaments to fallen soldiers was the acknowledgement from their former adversaries of their dedication and skills as warriors. He left immediately after the formal ceremony.
James approached Joe and shook his hand, "Joe, thanks for all of the kind words. I think you summed up what we all felt."
"Thanks, I agonized over what would be a fitting tribute. What are your plans now?"
"Didgi and I are headed back to Ragnor. I told Luke that we would give him a lift back. Blake is scheduled to get out of the hospital later today. Luke wants to be there and give him a ride back for his homecoming. I thought I'd tag along at least as far as the hospital and wish him well."
"Sounds good. Are you still planning on coming over to the house for dinner? Tarra's grandmother will be there and she said she's looking forward to seeing you some more."
"I think so. If plans change, I'll let you know."
Joe paused, "Did you hear about Dumitrescu?"
"No, what?" James asked alarmed.
"It was just announced a few minutes ago. He's dead. He contracted the virus that he unleashed. Someone threw contaminated clothes into his cell. He must have been particularly susceptible to it. By the time anyone noticed that he was sick, it was too late. He drowned in his own blood."
James was waiting near the entrance to the Hospital to say hello to Blake when something bumped into his leg. He turned and looked down.
