A lone figure walks towards a Sichel class fighter, her boots making a clanking noise where her feet touch the metal surface of the hangar. She touches a panel at the side of the ship and the metal cover slides silently away, revealing a touchpad. Wordlessly she inputs a code and the ship's hull opens up to let her enter.
Upon entering the ship, the computer activates and illuminates the cockpit. A soft humming can be heard and the smell of the leather pilot seat comes towards her. The woman walks towards the dashboard and takes a seat behind it. Her fingers run quickly over the keys infront of her and shortly after, the familiar face of a Kusarian woman apears on one of the screens.
"Konnichiwa, Lusty Fox. All preparations are complete.
Unfortunately I have not heard back from Crayter, so I presume president Payne found him out. Or us.
I guess we should proceed without them."
She looks away from the screen and starts typing in new data into the ship's computer. The hangar bay doors open up, revealing the ice field of Tau-29 behind them. The humming sound that was heard throughout the ship intensifies as the engines fire up and the Sichel leaves the Freeport.
