A dark figure moved down the hallway from the prison area. It slipped from shadow to shadow, pausing only to watch for guards. The figure moved into the hanger, which was heavily guarded. It then slipped up behind a guard, hit him over the head and covered his mouth to silence the momentary yell. The figure pulled out the guard's keys, then snuck into a Scimitar. The guards all yelled and sounded the alarm as the Scimitar lifted off, blasted through the hanger door, and flew out of sight...
Magellan Jump Hole, Vespucci
The HFGB Phoenixfire, GRCS Goldenflame, and the new HFBC Phoenixstorm hovered near the Jump Hole. There had been a prisoner escape from Monterrey, and all jump holes were heavily guarded. The other was covered by the HFGB Silverfire and the HFB Silverstorm. There were also more ships headed to guard each one. The prisoner would not escape.
