Date: 28.01.3606 year
Sirius Sector
Omicron Gamma System
Planet Crete High orbit

...The Corsairs were at tension. They were expecting someone. The high council has chosen
Pablo Ibanez and his wing of fighters to greet the guests. All he knew was that they were some
kind of terrorists. But by this they were a valuable allies to the corsairs. Possibly the
council have forseen that they might be very helpful for the spreading of the corsair artefact
trade...Either this way or not, his job was to greet 'em.
Ten minutes after Pablo placed his wing in high orbit when something happend. Before his eyes
from nowhere ships started to materialize. His breath was stuck in his troat. He could see a
Liberty Cruser , Hugenout , few trains , and several various fighters... Looks like they came.
He greeted them on although his voice was still tremulous. Deep and strange voice replied.
Then the ships started doking one after another... Hopefully the council knows what are they
doing...

{The Damned} - Officers order the fleet to be moved to Tripoli Shipyard. This will be our new
operational base.
{1st officer} - Aye , sir!
.....
{The_Avenger} - So what you think about the corsairs?
{TD} - So far I like their style... Unfortunately they will have to be enslaved like the rest.
But I think that this will actually keep their original spirit and preserve it better...
{TA} - So when we will start the corruption?
{TD} - As soon as we establish here.It won't take much...sevearal days and the Corsair counsil
will be a powerful weapon in our hands.
{TA} - You know whats best... Where do you want me to establish the cruser?
{TD} - On the border of the asteroind field around Tripoli will be perfect.Go do it now. I'll
have a talk with the cheif spy...I'm planing an operation against the heart of The Kusari empire.
{TA} - I'll see you in half an hour.
.....
{Chief Spy} - Well sir , the news from LIberty are more than good. The Navy and its high comanders
are "searching for you and the Redeemer , but actually that is all only for the public. As much ,
as I know they are concerned about another vile group - The Phantom empire as they call themselves.
{TD} - Hmm, I need you to understand more about them. They might proove a powerful ally...
{CS} - As you command sir...
{TD} - What about the elite pilot from the 8492nd, Adrian's friend?
{CS} - The message has been sent to him...
{TD} - Then he will come...and under my and Adrian's influence he will become one of us.You're
free now , go and investigate The Phantom Empire!
{CS} - Yes Sir.
.....
{TA} - So what's happening , anything new?
{TD} - No , everything is as planned. George is comming here.
{TA} - I told you he will...He is going to be great addition to your cause.
{TD} - So tell me about that 8492ng squadron.
{TA} - There isn't much to tell. They are non-govement , non-public guardians of peace. Something
like a secret Order.
{TD} - Hmm...
{TA} - What are you thinking?
{TD} - I guess that its about time we form a fighter squad of our own.Maybe your friend
will like to Command it?
{TA} - Definetely he will. What is the squad going to be?
{TD} - Full scale reply to the 8492nd , only the ideals behind it will be ours...
{TA} - I see...
{TD} - The plan about The New Tokyo bombardment needs several recon observations.I'll do
them myself. Are you comming with me?
{TA} - And you still ask...you should have known better that I'm you...wherever you go I go.
{TD} - Then meet me in space in 10 minutes with your fighter.
{TA} - I'll see you up there.
.....

Amongst the traffic of Crete two ships - a Titan and an Eagle took off to a different direction...
