Background

Karl and Mike were both very young when their parents were killed in a Outcast terrorist attack. At only 15 years of age Mike took responsibility and raised his younger brother at their home on Planet Denver. Karl always blamed the Outcasts, which was part of the reason he decided to join the LPI. Mike on the other hand had other plans and had decided to join the Zonersamd tried hard to get Karl to reconsider his application to the LPI when he turned 18, but could not sway his younger brother’s decision. They split up, Karl went to the academy, and Mike hopped on the first transport to the nearest freeport.
Mike had a relatively quiet life with the zoners, slowly working his way up the ranks and moving from freeport to freeport, helping with administering station business. He had even joined the Zoner high council. Oddly enough, Mike eventually ended up on freeport 10, close to Outcast space…
Karl’s life was quite different. Working for the LPI was not and easy job, he however did manage to gain the Chief of Police, Matt Myer’s trust and gained the rank of Deputy Chief, where he would often be seen out in space leading his pilots, instead of keeping a comfortable desk job.



Deputy Chief Karl Agathon sat at his desk reviewing various work orders and reports. He hated paper work… unfortunately he couldn’t make some other poor slob do the work today… He tried to finish the paperwork but his mind was somewhere else… Mike had not sent a letter again this week.. and had missed the past two. This was not like Mike, who regularly kept sending letters. Karl had tried investigating but found nothing, the Zoner council could not locate him, and apparently he had stepped down from his position there.
Where was he? Was something wrong? All good questions, questions that weren’t going to be answered here at this desk… He got up and headed for the Chiefs office. Without knocking he walked in.
“Matt, I need some time off”
“What for? You know how busy we are right now… I can’t let you go..”
“Its… a family issue… “
The chief was not happy. Now was not a good time for one of the Deputy Chief’s to go parading around the galaxy…. Especially since the LPI had recently captured an Outcast Destroyer. However eventually after a heated discussion, Karl managed to get the time off. More like a temporary resignation..
He left his badge on the chief’s desk, leaving the chief with the unfortunate job of finding a replacement. On his way out he said few words to anyone, though he had left a pre-recorded message for the LPI, that would play later on after he made his exit. He boarded the first transport that was heading out to the Taus, hoping to meet up with some zoners along the way, who could give him a lift the rest of the way.


It took nearly a week, but he eventually reached Freeport 10. Looking at the view, he could see the appeal in this place. It was one of the most spectacular systems he had ever seen. He picked up his bags and headed off the ship. It was an old freighter, used for running medical supplies to the freeport, but served its purpose. He thanked the captain and stepped on board the station. He was of course wearing civilian clothes now, as anything that affiliated him with Liberty could get him killed in a place like this. He worked his way deeper into the station, ignoring the numerous vendors, looking for where his brother may have worked when a strange man brushed by him ever so gently. By instinct he swung around and grabbed the man by the arm, revealing his watch in the strangers hand.
“Looks like you found something of mine?” he said as he took back the priceless family heirloom before swiftly breaking the strangers arm in two places. “ You won’t be doing that for awhile…” before moving away from the crowd that quickly gathered near the screaming man.
He approached the administrative offices and spoke with the secretary there. He explained how he was looking for his brother and she told him of how they were investigating his disappearance already. Mike had disappeared 3 weeks ago it would seem. She agreed to let him enter the office without any trouble, even leading him there before leaving him alone.
The office was neat… not a thing misplaced. This definitely was Mike’s office… he began snooping around looking for any clues…
“You won’t find anything in here” a voice came from the doorway
He looked up to see a tall brunette standing in the doorway with a pistol pointed in his direction….

The woman stood confidently, her dark cold eyes staring straight through Karl. One thing he did notice was her uniform. It was the same the officers wore on the captured Outcast Destroyer the LPI had recently captured….

I’ll carry this flag
To the grave if I must
Because it’s flag that I love
And a flag that I trust
