Australis...

[Edge]

I was undecided. I wouldn`t risk the ship out like that. But I got help from an unexpected source. Someone was selling a Battleship Shield Generator. Perfect! The bad side of this was that the deal was in Omega 49... and if I`d be catched with a Fusion Core in my cargo hold. I`d be arrested and tortured to spill the bait. I had to smuggle my way out of Rheinland.



Easier to say than actually do it, but with my generosity, a Hessian helped me out. When I got away from that hell hole, I made my way towards O-49. The other bidders offered 3-4 million credits, but that Zoner couldn`t refuse my offer... 25.000.000 Sirius Credits for an used Battleship Shield Generator. He didn`t knew how to sign the deal faster. He even offered to take me back to New Berlin, under the radar.



When I arrived there, we took care to replace the old Battleship MCU with another, last generation. This way the ship won`t activate it`s emergency transponder and it will not signal our position to every Rheinland Military ship in the area.


I was in my Train, just outside the ship, when the power core was connected to it.


"This ship will serve as a Junker mobile base" I said. My ancient roots lead to Earth, Australia. What a better name, to represent the origins, and my mission, to help all unite than....

I saw all the readings going on the green, engine starting up... shield activating...


I smiled.
