Guess who's coming to dinner?

-"Yes sir, Admiral! On it."

..With these words having been said, Sius ordered all his ground personnel back on the ship and extra supplies for the trip. After everything was in place and systems were checked, the Reliance headed towards the unknown system. The Research vessel is one of the few that has successfully mapped out the Unknown systems of the Nomad sphere. And there just happened to be a convenient little shortcut towards Colorado. He had been ordered to avoid Alaska and Zone 21 for good reason. Passing through Liberties most secure and hostile system would have surely resulted in the destruction of the Reliance, or worse.

..Once in the unknown, the ship made its way as fast as possible through the Nomad space and through a secret Jump Hole that leads into Kusari. The relations between Kusari and what they knew about the Order werent the best, but better than with Liberty. Using what cloaking technology and speed the vessel slipped into Nebulas and dust cloud to further decrease their chances of detection.

..Soon they were there. The ship was in Kepler, avoiding the trade lanes and any signs of other ships. They hastily made their way towards the dark matter field where the Xeno base Nome was situated.

-Sir, were picking up a big ship in sensor, headed straight to us!
..The technician on Nome who detected the ship was startled and cried out to everyone he could. Incoming un-known!
-Theyre sending a transmission, orders?
..The highest commanding officer there took control.
-Get the leaders up here. And tell them we may have company.

..The transmission started.
-This is Rear Admiral Sius Malacos of the Order. We have come to pick up a certain cell you claim to have.
-Hello? This is Joshua Mathews speaking. Yes, we have that cell youre looking for. Your leader said you where coming to pick it up, so come and take it. Its on one of our freighters in the dark matter cloud, sending coordinates.
-Understood. And coordinates received. Heading there right now.

The Reliance followed the point on the map through the dark spooky cloud. Nothing was visible. Then they reached the checkpoint and the ship stopped.
-Hail, were the ones with the cell. Moving to dock in your position, stand-by.
..On the Reliance the crew just prepared their docking tubes.
-Alright men. Head to that tube. I cant even see that freighter but sensors pick it up coming to our starboard side.

..Armed Order guards and Dr. Fisher waited by the door. Soon the other side opened an a few Xeno marched through with a large hover pad with an even larger metal box on it. Dr. Fisher nodded to them as he and some guard brought the thing to their containment laboratory. Sius soon arrived at the scene.
-Thank you for your effort. Well inform you as to what this cell really is Well be keeping in touch. Now it is time for us to leave, our presence close to Liberty is not a welcome one.
-Indeed it is so. Im sure well speak again Admiral. Safe flight back.
..Joshua Mathews and his men walked back across the tube and back towards their own ship. The doors were closed, tubes brought back in and the reliance began its long trip back the way they came.

..The Reliance finally arrived back to Omicron Minor. The ship then sped towards Toledo where their arrival was expected. Docking clearance was given and the ship descended to the planet surface and landed. Scientists where there and as the doors opened the cell was in a contained enclosure in a hover pad and brought out of the ship and into the Orders research facility. There evaluation began and comparison of it with their already possessed Nomad Power Cell began.
