Begining of the end

[Chiana]

The moment, she opened her eyes, she knew everything....

Newcastle, Sephiroth, Honshu - the mission.

Bad headache....
She was no longer on that nomad-battlestar - back on her ship again.
And again, the nav-computer was feeded with data, she couldn't explain.
On her left hand, there was planet Elysium....
"I must be somewhere in Omicron Beta, not far from Honshu."
She slided forward to to the sigma jumphole and she already had stopped wondering
about what was happening.

A few hours later, the Ship-voice announced:
"Chiana, darling, we approach Honshu.... It's just 38 k to go.... you might choose a way, that doesn't lead us into the arms of these enemies..."

"You are right, George, we'll come from the backside and use the old hidden emergency-ring. (where did I know it from?)
We'll be near the airport within a bit more than half an hour."

"I have to change the ship-voice.... That George Clooney - immitation drives me mad."

The old emergency-ring was not defended or even realized by anyone.
She docked and landed on the Honshu-airfield.

"So this is Honshu. For god sake, nobody knows me and my ship - else, I would have had a huge problem."

A number of ships were parked here - Osiris, Liberty Gunboat, Cruisers of all kind...
"I've got that secret translation key.... Maybe I should use it to contact Sephiroth....
I hope, nobody has found out how it works...."
Within a few second, she had typed the combination of signs.
"S(t)eph24Chia-maera-#-disco.phi_arma.delta.geddon"
"Now I have to wait....
I'll be greeted or killed...."
