Steven Hiller

Ambush


Steven Hiller was a proud Order Agent. He had come up through the ranks from flying fighters, then bombers. For a while he even flew a Hathor gunboat - but his proudest day was when he was commissioned his beloved Osiris and his hand picked his crew, picked from some of the best pilots he had flown with. After many years, Steven now was ready to fullfil his lifelong ambition.


It had been 3 cycles since Steven had been commissioned his Osiris. He had been on many raids now, in his beloved Osiris. He made a name for himself amongst the Order Agents, and he was always one of the first ships to be called upon, when the mission was thought to be dangerous. This day though would turn out to be very different.

One day, Steven recieved an SOS from what he thought was another Osiris in danger in Omicron Lost. He didnt have any time to wait for back up - so he raced to the co-ordinates of the SOS call. Jump protocalls were put into action, and he guided the ship into the JH. This was to be a big mistake.

Upon entering Lost, Steven was ambushed by a force of Keepers to overwhelming for him to defeat, To his surprise the Keepers did not try to destroy him instead they seemed to want to make him a prisoner and seemed to be more interested in the Osiris to be left intact. Steven put himself into a holding chamber inside his own Osiris, to protect himself from nomad infection. He activated an emergency beacon. The Osiris was without any power to cruise, just life support systems were running...

He waited ...

Steven opened his eyes , he was still in the Osiris but not in the Holding Chamber, he was in a Medical room, and a familiar face was looking down on him.


"Welcome back cpt.Steven Hiller we thought we lost you, the Order responded to your SOS, but your ship was nowhere to be found. 3 weeks later we picked up your beacon again. You were drifting in Omicron Delta, under attack from Nomads. You had killed many of them, but you and your ship were very badly damaged. Other Order agents finished off the Nomads and I boarded your ship. You were out on your feet and collapsed. We're heading back to Minor so you can recieve full medical treatment. Rest now, my friend."


1 Week later...

Steven was visited by the Order Medical staff. They had bad news...


"We are sorry to inform you cpt.Steven Hiller, but we think it best for you to take up a fighter position for a while. An Osiris is too stressfull for you to cope with at the moment. Rest up and await your assignmet to a Nephthys."
