Sounds of music and the voices of speaking persons were getting closer. Arrived at a door Lennox opened it, stepping inside a big crowded room. He was looking around if there is a familar face. But no. He wouldn't have wanted to drag others in the trouble he had anyway. He walked to the counter at the bar, signaling to have a drink. The bartender got two bottles and mixed a drink for him.
Meanwhile there were two curios persons at the landing pad where his Kingfisher stood. They nodded to each other and placed a device on it. The men in the blue uniforms quickly moved away after they placed the strange thing on the hull of Lennox' ship. The door opened as the strange men wanted to escape but there was somebody blocking the entrance.
"Get out of our way! Believe me. You do not want to have trouble." One of the men said.
"Hmm...no. I saw you placing this device on my ship..."
Lennox looked up, without an expression on his face, holding a plasma gun in his hands, lifting it up to aim for the others man's head. He squeezed the trigger and unleashed a projectile of ultra hot plasma. The shot burned through the head of the poor man who wasn't able to dodge and fell down. The other strange guy pulled out his handgun, while jumping away. He was searching for cover. But he wasn't fast enough. Two well aimed shots of green matter hit his hand with the weapon. He screamed in pain after he saw that his hand have been melted away by the gun of Lennox. Johan moved closer to the injured man, still holding his weapon in his hand. The other guy was trying to get distance to but he was simply to weak. The man in the blue suit hit a wall with his back, cursing and then realizing he wouldn't have a chance. Lennox moved infront of the man, holding his weapon at the head of the panicking man. Without saying a word another projectile of the green matter ran through the man's head. The whole body immediately stopped moving.
Investigating the corpses, Lennox was searching for something. He finally found the two communicators of the the dead men. They were from the Liberty Navy and had no idea where they ran into. They had to follow him through the system.
Holding some kind of scanner in his hands Johan scanned the station for hidden accesses to the neural net. Since he had nothing to log in there he managed his way to the station core where he found the mainframe too. It was very dark inside there, some lights were flickering. The air was cold and wet. A shiver slipped down his back after he entered the unfriendly place. Looking around, he was walking to the mainfram, preparing some devices to gain access to it. He put some plugs into the interfaces and activated his device. Tons of numbers ran down on the display of the small thing in his hands. He was typing something in when suddenly the alarm was released.
"Damn...an alert loop."
He knew he had to hurry so he copied some data from the mainframe and severed the connection. Lennox began to run out of the room, heading for his ship. He opened the cockpit, no time left to remove the strange device the two Navy's placed, and jumped into his ship. Some guards arrived and opened fire on Lennox. But the cockpit was already closed and it was obvious some handguns couldn't 'hurt' the hull of a space ship.
"Freelancer Theta 6/38 you are not permitted to undock. Get your ship back to the landing pad immediately!"
"Negative control...I cannot stay here any longer."
With saying this he fired some salvos of his weapons on the docking gates. The inner station shields weren't able to resist, broke and set the hull free from the shield bubble. The Flashpoints melted some holes into the gate. Air began to run out of the station.
"Warning! Decompression in docking bay 6 detected." A computer voice said.
He brought his ship in position, preparing for crushing out of the station with his whole ship. He increased the speed, watching the gate that came closer and closer. A loud crushing sound was to hear after the ship impacted with the damaged gate and was set free to space. Inside his ship Lennox covered his ears from the very loud sounds that appeared. He saw the turrets aiming on his ship. he took over manual control and immediately turned the 'Fisher' to the direction of the Baffin jumphole and engaged cruise speed.
