Raising the Nightmare

[Altejago]

Moka was on his way back from an important business adventure when his long range scanners picked up an unusual signal. It appeared to be some kind of location signal, but it was vague and inaccurate. "Bah, just another lost soul caught in our web" Moka chuckled to himself. It wasn't unusual for many a trader to get caught up by the Rogues in Galileo, it was a revered hunting spot and very profitable. Police activity was minimal out here and the only other pirates were Hackers who barely ventured out of their rock.

He carried on towards his head quarters, out in a remote system labelled Cassini. His destroyer, Quietly Confident, was orbiting the Rogues gem of their industrial advancements, Terre Haute. As he was nearing the secluded jump hole, a contact blipped onto his scanners.

The signature was weak but certainly identifiable. A Vagrant Raiders vessel was just on the edge of scanner range and Moka was able to pick up muted voice comms from the vessel. He over heard something about a missing ship and decided he would go investigate. After all, the Raiders were friendlies and using the Rogue technology.

As Moka approached the seemingly lost vessel, he hailed it.
