An old friend's revenge

[equinosz]

As the main screen showed the location Roy immediately knew that he can trust in Xaror. He didn't hesitate at all.

-Set course to the given location, cruise up!

-Captain, another of those ion detonation or whatever was released by the drone.

I knew you will do it again, thanks!

The slave liner's engines were heating up very quickly and before the pirates could even react they were cruising towards the given location.

-Man the turrets, we won't be able to outrun them!

-Captain Vitalievich, they're trying to escape.

-They won't stand a chance. Power up the systems, we're going in and open a channel towards them. Tell them that we try to cover.

-Captain, we have our orders! We can't risk the mission...

-Civilians are in danger! The coalition can't let the pirates rule the galaxy! Calculate the best route to reach them, I want to be in the back of that liner as near as possible!

The storm deactivated the cloacking system and powered up the others. It took about half a minute to leave the safe asteroid belt and to be detected by the pirates. Hopefully the storm reaches the liner faster than the pirates. If not, well than Dmitriy will receive a nice bullet to his head for abandoning such an important mission for nothing.
