Blood and Mercy

[Zeltak]

~ Inside the Kyushu System ~

KNF Wing-2: [color=#33CCFF]Hmm... Scanning indicates a Katana ship. That pilot is most likely a Blood Dragon.
KNF Wing-Leader: Roger that Wing-2. Wing Force initiate cruise speed, we have detected a possible Blood Dragon pilot just outside the Seiran Dust Cloud.
KNF Wing-1, Wing-2, Wing-3: Hai, Captain!
Satoya: Damn! Those bastards spotted me. Alright think... think... now I got it! I must head to the Ohka Dust Field. The Blood Dragon survival training will come in great use when I need to dodge those giant rocks. Hopefully they will crash into one, the KNF aren’t used to such environment.

KNF Wing-Leader: *Opens Comms* Katana Pilot, identify yourself at once!
Satoya: Corrupted dogs, you ain’t getting anything from me!
KNF Wing-Leader: I don’t take insults kindly.
KNF Wing-1: That’s defiantly a Blood Dragon, Captain.
KNF Wing-Leader: I concur. If you get a clear shot, don’t hesitate to eliminate him.
KNF Wing-1, Wing-2, Wing-3: Hai, Captain!

Satoya: They are closing in, I better hit that asteroid field soon or else my journey ends here... Come on, just a little bit further!

KNF Wing-2: He is heading to the Ohka Dust Field, Captain!
KNF Wing-Leader: What the... Does he want to take suicide?!
KNF Wing-1: Uhh... I haven’t been trained for this!
KNF Wing-Leader: Don’t worry, you’ll be fine.

Satoya: Finally I have arrived, now where the hell is that Jumphole located. I better contact an old friend of mine... Computer, initiate transmission to receiver: 3F79L1O.

Computer: [font=System]Transmission commencing, waiting for the receiver to answer... 1 ... 2 ... 3
Yasutoshi: [color=#33CC00]Sa... Satoya, is that you?
Satoya: Greetings, old friend.
Yasutoshi: Konnichiwa! How are you doing?
Satoya: I wish there was time to talk, but right now I need you to do something for me.
Yasutoshi: Ok.
Satoya: *Smiles* I knew that I could count on you. Now listen, I need you to get me the location of the Tau-23 Jumphole from Kyushu. Also, make haste!
Yasutoshi: No problem, I can hack through anything! *Hacks into Kusari Naval Forces Patrol Routes* Alright I got the location, sending the information right now.
Satoya: Thank you... I really appreciate your efforts.
Yasutoshi: No worries. But I guess you are in trouble right now, so... when you can, try contact me will ya?
Satoya: I will... my friend... I will. Goodbye for now.
Yasutoshi: Farewell, and be careful! *Transmission terminated*

Satoya: Now how to shake off these four pests behind me.

KNF Wing-1: The rocks there are too many, I can't dodge them al- *Crashes*

KNF Wing-Leader: Dammit! We just lost a pilot, Wing-2 fly back and see if he managed to eject his life pod.
KNF Wing-2: Hai, Captain!

Satoya: Two down and two more to go. Eat this!
*Launches several nuclear mines*

KNF Wing-Leader: Nuclear mines! Watch out!
KNF Wing-3: *Explosion* Captain, a nuclear mine just ripped of my left wing! Argh! I can’t control the ship any longer. Oh... no! *Crashes*

KNF Wing-Leader: This isn’t worth it, I need to rescue my pilots and contact Wing-2. Breaking off. *Opens Comms* Until next time, Blood Dragon scum!

Satoya: I warned you... *Transmission terminated*
Satoya: Ahh, the Jumphole. I found it! Computer, initiate jumping sequence.
Computer: Jumping sequence commenced.


~ Inside the Tau-23 System ~

Satoya: [color=#FF6600]Safe at last... now I can finally start my life over. Something peaceful but still a well earned job. Maybe Zoner, hmm... I need to find more information about them. A good place to begin with would be Freeport-6. Computer, search for the location of station Freeport-6.
Computer: [font=System]Freeport-6, Tau-29 System, 6-D.

Satoya: [color=#FF6600]Tau-29, how the hell do I get there?
Computer: Incoming message (Attached file) ... Accept - Deny
Satoya: [color=#FF6600]Accept.
Computer: Showing message on screen;

[color=#33CC00]Open the file when you can.
// Yasutoshi

Satoya: Computer, open the attached file.
Computer: [font=System]Attached File Opened. Showing file on screen;

[color=#33CC00]Konnichiwa Satoya-kun! I was concerned about you, so I decided to hack into your computer to see where your current location is and sent coordinates of nearby Jumpholes around your area. I hope they will come in use. Sayonara!

Satoya: It will come in great use indeed, thank you Yasutoshi...
Now let’s see. Tau-29... Tau-29... ah! Here it is! Coordinates 5-G.

Satoya: [color=#FF6600]Whew... my hull really took a beating from the Tau-23 radiation. Nonetheless, I must reach Freeport-6...

Satoya finally arrives to Freeport-6 after struggling with the Oxygen Asteroid Field.
