Remnants and Fallout

800 years later

The trio of Taidan-class bombers swept through the Siberian Ice field on an intercept course with the intruder.

"This is Whiskey Tango Three to Whiskey Lead, I have the Bogie on scopes."

"Confirmed Three, close on target and go for visual inspection." Lead replied. Knowing that the Commissariat and His Watchful Eye were watching the events unfolding with keen interest.

Before them, in the mists of the nebula, an ancient Sol warship drifted, alone and forgotten. Battle-scarred and war weary.

Grand Admiral MacIntosh, the supreme leader of the Coalition, would be very pleased at the find.

Though no one knew that the arrival was nearly twenty years too early.

Lt. Ricardo Alvarez, Whiskey-Tango-Leader, gripped the controls of his bomber and swept in for a close inspection of the scarred and pitted ships hull.

"Lieutenant," three called over the TAC. "I am getting a transponder code on one of our frequencies for a Comrade Ling... though the only Comrade Ling I have in the database is the son of the regional governor of New HangZhou... and he is two..."

Alvarez raised an eyebrow, "This is going to get complicated, mi hermanos."
