Somewhere in the Tau systems, One week earlier...

"SIR, The ToG are gaining on us!" A frantic SIC shouted at the skipper of the Super Freighter.

"Hmmm, Worthy adversaries. We need more speed to reach the gate. Prepare to jettison cargo bay four!" The skipper said.

"But SIR, We can't jettison the Napkins. They're for Liberty!" complained the SIC.

"Do you want to die to a bunch of hairy hippies!" retorted the skipper.

And so, Fourteen Hundred Thousand Napkins entered the cold void of space.
