Reynard 'Leonardo' Gull

[Exodus]

During the escape our ship was hit several times and due to this attacks some part of the system went down and we were unable to fix them and bring them online. For example our weapons were completely destroyed. The ship was the leader of the Epsilon Squadron which was an interceptor wing. So without weapons we started our voyage in deep space. Well I don't need to say that we had a limited amount of food and water. After weeks of travel our energy was enough only to keep running the life support system and the communication. Our engines went offline so we were driftin' in space without any chance to survive. Courtney, my friend, was the one who encouraged me and she was the person who literally kept me in life.


Finally we've reached an unknown system where we have never been before and never heard about it too. I't was a quiet system, without asteroids, I think somebody was watchin' over us.

-Hey, Reynard, check this out. It's a nice system. At least we can have some happiness around here.
-Please, don't bother me with such landscapes. This will be our coffin and you think this is beautiful?
-Well it certainly is. Don't give up yet, there's still hope out there... somewhere...

And our conversations was the same all along our voyage. Drifting in space is not the best thing, so I hope you can understand why it was so annoying and terrible for me... Our ship slowed down finally, so leaving the system was almost impossible. We didn't know when is morning or evening... everything faded away. Still I knew that somebody is looking for us. And the reality was that not our friend are searching for our vessel but our enemy. They probably have seen our engine trails when we've escaped. We've spent a few days in the sector when our comms went offline too. There was no way to contact anyone around us or even to send an emergency message...

After a while we've spotted something in the space. We couldn't identify what is it. Five minutes later, we've glanced a figter, alone. It looked the same as at our home, who have attacked us. Our ship was a gunboat so the fighter turned back. He probably didn't see that our weapons and engines are offline. So after a few hours, two cruisers shown up along with a fighter wing. This was our death sentence. The vessels closed in and were hitting our ship. We've heard how the hull was brokin' apart. We were ready to die.
We've seen another ship entering the space. I was completely freaked out.

-Ahhh, hell! Two cruisers not enough to kill us?!

Courtney didn't answer. I don't know what she thought but I know that both of us were already dead man. The two ships closed in. When they were far we didn't recognize how big are them but when they reached us. Uhhm, well, quite big ones. I was waiting the end when trough the window we could see that the two vessels opened fired on the fleet which was storming us. I've just stand there, I didn't have any logical explanation, I was just staring the fight without any thought...

A few minutes later only the debris of the attackers remained and the two gigantic vessels were unharmed. They have sent out some ships that lead us to their hangars. We successfully docked.
We didn't know what will happen to us or if our rescuers are really saviours or just another enemy of us.
