Byzantinism

[Thunderer]

The flaming fiends that besieged Hall's soul froze still. Ambre caught their attention. Hall, content and composed, began to utter their breath.

"Very well. Now I will call the guards to lead you to your cell, but don't worry. It is only for a week. The guards will have orders to treat you fairly, feed you well and even keep you amused, so that you are ready for your upcoming mission. I have been informed that Admiral McIntire will be in a vulnerable position in a week. That is when you will be taken to Manchester, and dropped in space in an escape pod. A very special pod: it can be opened from the inside easily, whenever you want, it is not cryo-inducing and, most importantly, it will hold a small laser pistol in a compartment. Do not open it in space at any cost. You will have a small window that will allow you to be aware where approximately you are. I will hire a mercenary to help my forces out in that specific sector, but of course, he will see no one there. Except your escape pod. As a bounty hunter, he will not resist beaming it in. As it will not carry any identifications, he will have to take a look at who he's caught manually. That is when you strike. I don't care what happens to the mercenary, but you must seize his ship any way you can. The ship is your weapon and your way out.
Then, you will head to New London as fast as possible, and wait in the middle of the trade lane leading from the Planet to Southampton. If a patrol comes by, identify as the person whose ID card you will have stolen. When McIntire arrives, don't say anything to him, but attack him at once. He will be flying a Templar with only one fighter escort, as New London is considered safe, but you must do it quickly, as patrols are frequent. Worry not about his skill and that of his escort, as he hasn't fought in a fighter for years, and his escort will most likely be a recruit on training. You are only required to shoot down McIntire, and destroy his escape pod. Do NOT get shot down: flee immediately if you can't handle them.
I know this is a lot of information at once, so would you like me to repeat anything?" Having finished the verbal marathon he had been looking forward to for so long, he asked Ambre as if he cared about her. Of course, he only heeded about the mission.
