I was on the transports for a long time, I couldnt count the hours though, there were too much. I could hear voices though, every now and again, and then the speaker in the cargobay as well. It first said Entering Shikoku system. Shikoku, I knew that name, it was in Kusari space, that was one of the things I learnt in school. I think I fell asleep after that, until I was woken up again by the sound of Entering New Tokyo system. New Tokyo? Thats Kusaris capital I thought to myself, I couldnt believe we were so far from home.

The ship started to slow, I could feel it. I heard something over the speaker again, a voice I had never heard before, an accent as well. I heard something about the Kusari Naval Forces, yelling something about that the Hackers were under arrest. I was saved I thought, freed.

The Navel forces guided the ship back down to a planet known as Planet New Tokyo, and opened up the cargo bay. I jumped out and breathed in the air, until they tackled me to the ground and threw me in handcuffs like they did to the other hackers. What did they think they were doing!? I was a kidnapped 14 year old girl that stowed away in a Hacker transport, yet they didnt believe me. They said they were going to arrest me, throw me in jail, and have me locked away from the rest of my life for being with the Hackers. I couldnt do that, I couldnt let them just have me, not when I still a chance.

One of the hackers began to get restless as we walked down the road to the station, he tried pushing and shoving, which gave me an idea. Only one guard was holding me, probably because he thought I was small and weak. He had another thing coming though, I kicked him in the shins and then between the legs as he cried in pain. And I ran, I ran far and as fast as I could to get away from the Naval Forces.

I couldnt believe I got away, I found myself in an abandoned ally, far from the station or where anyone could fine me. I needed to get the handcuffs off before I could keep walking, running, anything. There was a trashcan not to far in the distance, and there was something inside. They looked like scissors, or a knife, or something, but it didnt matter. I took them out and tried to position them behind my back to cut off the cuffs, it took me over ten tries but I got them almost killing my wrists.

I was free again; at least I thought I was. I took a cloak from the trashcan as well and ran off in to the streets of New Tokyo, wondering what it was I should do next.
