Thanks to Crimson Veil pinpointing in advance the relatively safe passage through the Suhl Anomaly, the group's flight through it was quite fast. Naturally, she had to stop from time to time to make sure she wasn't leading everyone to certain death... She tried not to dwell on the consequences of a mistake at those moments. She'd heard too often about souls lost in this nightmarish labyrinth.

Of course, the alien servants' battleship, hidden deep within the labyrinth, opened fire on the group as soon as they entered its sensor range. However, it was a far less difficult obstacle than the anomaly itself. They didn't have to evade the fire for long: soon the group plunged back into the greenish, deadly fog, escaping any possible pursuit.

Ahead loomed the jump hole to the infamous Omega-58 system. In the darkness there, anything but a pleasant flight was to be expected. Still, the jump hole was stable enough to avoid any surprises, at least during the transition out of the system itself.

But the surprise was on the other side. Crimson Veil barely had time to recover when she found herself under heavy fire. Wilde forces were waiting for them here; her Anubis shield, though noticably stronger than a typical fighter's shield, failed almost instantly. Crimson Veil, taking evasive action, would have inevitably found herself at a severe disadvantage. Luckily, she wasn't alone.

Within seconds, Melusine appeared in the system on her Bastet with Chevalier, piloting the Oder gunboat. A battle ensued with the numerically superior enemy.
