The Freelancer Captain Jeff Willdor & Crew, Luxury Liner "Exodus"

[Mike_Fire]

First contact with The Order

The 46 Freelancers crew men came to the landing bay, near the Exodus... They all reported their availabilities to the Captain Jeff Willdor... They packed up everything and started to verify the ship status...while Captain Jeff Willdor, Lyla Flore, Ben Looter and Vick Blaster were having a discussion to the local bar...

Jeff: Vick, your ship is at the Freeport 9 right ?
Vick: Yea before I joined the freelancer community I left it there and boarder myself on Jack Hilmors Transport... He took me to the ex Island of Manhattan... Then we met together... And you know... I am not a person that can stay long on a Planet... You remember....? I get sick on Planets...
Lyla: Yea i remember that you fell in coma... So we took you on the ex BW transport Rider.of.the.Storm... Then you just woke up as we passed the atmosphere of Manhattan...
Ben: This is weird... In general people get sick in space... But on a planet... What about station base ?
Vick: Stations are fine.... It is just the Planet.... Anyway when I left my Eagle... i had to sell almost all my guns and equipment... I needed cash..again... But I kept a couple of the best guns i had... The codename Onyx that i found in the past on someone wreck... Now i think I'll have to bride the Hunters to get me some good gear at the Omega 15 and 56... if they get bad I'll use my blasters...
I don't ant their guns... Just the thrusters, shields...
Jeff:You better be careful buddy...
Vick:: Don't worry... You know my blasters never failed me ! Apart from that.... From where are we going to get to the Theta ?
Jeff: Durango Flore (the cyborg bro' of Lyla) gave me some info of his travels... *whispering* He got me the coordinate to Alaska... It'd get us to the Theta faster... He said we must be careful as there is those nomads patrols... Also be careful guys... The navy and LSF are in the bar... This zone we're headin' to is highly restricted.... But you know maybe... we will meet Order Pilots in the next systems...
Lyla: I don't really like this idea Jeff... we may get in trouble... But heck... I trust you lov'
Ben: I'm all with ya too Jeff...
Vick: Whispering It would be great if we get a first contact with the Order.... I can't wait to see them... I think we should not tell the rest of the crew our plan to get to Theta...
Jeff: Yeah... You're right Vick... We won't tell them... That might scare them off... (at this moment the watch of Jeff gets a signal... it is from Durango Flore) *whispering* Ok guys drink up... Durango biped me... It means that the way to Alaska is clear.... Let's get the heck out and don't look to suspicious... The navy men are watchin' us... and talkin'....

The four companions headed to the Exodus... Everything went smoothly... They launched... Reached the restricted zone and entered Alaska... in the long range scan... Jeff detected ships in the next system...
After Jumping into the Omicron Minor.... An Order battleship on the name of Defiance was waiting for them...
Jeff explained the reason of their intrusion... He allowed Vick to talk with the Commander of the ship.... He explained all his intentions and even proposed his help for the order.... The Black Squadron did not really interfered in the discussion... But the commander of Defiance was listening... He told Vick that he would be glad to help him in his trainings to become a Nomad Hunter... Also Jeff explained that Vick have too do some work in Theta for his eagle... The Defiance's Commander even offered an escort until the Freeport 9... The four companions were very glad of this...
Now Vick left the his work on the Exodus and he's preparing his Eagle for another contact with The Order....
