The events of the BIS took it's toll on Maverick as He prayed for Sylus' safety and life. To lose him... Would be like losing his whole crew. While they were in Coronado, Joshua Hunt had meetings with several groups of people, trying to seal the deal on house backing, as well as improving relations with them. One such, that the Cincinnati was present for, was a meeting in the Hudson system with the BDM, A Rheinlandic intelligence service, much like the BIS and the LSF. Maverick and crew took the Cincinnati by Hunt's request to go see a man named Volker Koch. Establishing a common enemy is what it was mainly for. The Nomads. During the meeting, some things got brought up between some wingman and the Cincinnati. A Segelinde Loraine, an intelligent person, but very shifty within her seat. Maverick in his years of Naval patrols noticed something quite familiar about her. Ganes, the Radar overseer on the ship's bridge noticed something quite well...
While they spoke at the meeting, there was a number crunch session about how destructive the Dawnbreaker's power would be. Ganes noticed her ability to do some number things in her head. That drew him to her like a lost fly to a street light. Maverick however. He saw symptoms. Problems with her that he had seen in many Outcasts. She was on a drug called Cardamine. But she got real sneaky with it. She had put this orange powder in her cockpit facemask to administer doses of the drug. They both noticed her, and had a brief, private, conversation while Joshua Hunt spoke to Volker Koch. The meeting ended. Ganes said his peace and wished her the best of luck.
It was a few days later, after Ganes, Maverick, and Segelinde spoke here and there, Segelinde had contacted them about some munitions that Hunt may be able to use. Those munitions would be enough to fuel a whole navy for weels and she had no need for them. Maverick sent out a Stork, the Shiva, to retrieve them. Stevens, the comms officer, kept a link open with the Shiva and oversaw the situation itself. Matt and Mike, the brothers who fly the ship, were put into quite the position where they had to act quickly. A self destruct sequence had been initiated aboard the Freighter that Loraine was flying. The cargo, along with the explosion of the ship, would have blown the Cincinnati to pieces if it was sitting near the ship during destruction. However. The timer was off. The Munitions were offloaded before the sequence was initiated. It was a good thing that the Shiva had got there instead.
The sequence started. Loraine Knew what it was. She had to get out of there, and on the double. The ship began to blow apart, eventually blasting a hole out the side of the hull. Mike dropped out, tethered to the Shiva's interior, and caught her before being thrown into the abyss of space. Pulling himself and her into the Shiva's bay, they made a waypoint to Barrier Gate, do deliver her and the Munitions to Cincinnati.
