Devon has made arrangements for Michael to check into the Dune Drifter Resort. Michael suspects that Devon's intentions are more than just rest and relaxation, and he is right. Police Captain Tom O'Malley is supposed to be registered there, and he is the only contact so far that links the Foundation's investigation to a stolen truckload of confiscated arms, including laser guns. Apparently, O'Malley's signature was on the pass issued by the police.
