The Assassin snuck up to the Vespucci jump hole in Magellan. Those other assassins may have failed... but he wouldn't. He was "Those other assassin's". No, he was a much better assassin than all those cheap wimps, and HE would succeed. Plus he had a secret weapon: A Laser sniper. He wouldn't get up close with a powerful weapon like the rest, no, he would just aim carefully and no one would ever know he'd been there. He turned towards the jump hole, but as he was about to jump, something large and brown jumped in, nearly running into him. He dodged as a green bolt of energy as the large object opened fire, then sped away and turned to see what it was.
It was a Rogue Gunboat. All it's guns were aimed straight at him.
Before the Assassin had time to react, his shields were down, his ship was almost destroyed, and there was a missile about to hit him. He pressed the "eject" button just as the missile met his ship. As his escape pod floated out, he hoped that it would be thrown clear of the wreckage. That was his last thought. A bolt of green connected with his escape pod.
It had happened. The HFGB Phoenixfire had been unveiled.
The Assassin's Bane had begun it's purge.
