View from the borders of the asteroid field surrounding Libery Rogues' Montezuma base
System Cortez


...As the beauty of the systems' Sun filled the eye , so did the surrounding space. The beautiful colourfull gasses,
parts of formings of new stars , billions of lightyears away. Upon carefull ispection a little part of the space piture
was blurrirng as there were some kind of gasses. The blurring was moving towards the asteroid field...suddenly it slowed,
got even more blurred, electrical charges appeared of nowere in the gass mass. The thing got even more distorted and slowly
began to gain form...it was a battleship. A battleship appeared. The ship slowly took cource to Montezuma base and and moved
to a dry dock with specially designed part of the station.

{The Damned} - Captains, its time to re-model The Redeemer. We will re-construct it to a more usefull ship of midlle class.
The cloacking devise will be adopted for it too. We will be usind this Rogues base as a major shipyard. They will help us too.
We got the plans for the new Redeemer from them. It's time to make this a more efficient and deadly ship. It's going to take a lot of work
but I don't want to hear complains. Get half of the crew working on the job.I have other plans for the other half.Execute the orders!
Summon to me the chief of the spies!Go now!
{Major Captains} - Aye , my lord!
*****
{Chief of the Spies} - As I have told you my lord there is some Bounty Hunter named Adrian Valentinov asking for you around.
What should we do?
{The Damned} - Well if he is asking for me, than I think it's appropriate if we ask for him.I think that with his interst in me
I ought to understand why is he so obsessed with my personallity.I need you too 'cause I need information about a sertain
cruser from the old LS days.As I remember I asked you to investigate the matter.
{Chief of the Spies} - Yes sir, I did. I can tell you that The liberty cruser SS " New Hope" is currently on dry dock for an up-to-date
procedure on planet California Minor, California system, Sir.
{The Damned} - Hmm...That will be all - dissmiss!

The Spy took on his way. The Damned turned and saw from the inside of the base the docked ship. In the base was reigning a strange
excitement - unnatural for a pirate base of this size. Everyone were gathering equipment and were starting work on the ship.

The Montezuma Bar

On the corner table was sitting an embraced by darkness figure, drinking his booze quitely. Another person entered the bar and headed
for that table. The embraced figure hailed him. The other man sat down.They began a conversation.

{Chief of Spies} - Sir I bring you information about that guy. He is an orphan, has been in prison , afterwards released upon good behavior.
He has a brother twin wich he has never seen. His mother and father had died in the Freeport 7 accident.I know even his birht date. It's
22.12.3578 year.
{The Damned} - Thats Immpossible! This is my birthdate. Hmm my parents have also died in that accident. I'm beggining to see something here...
If it's true it will be all better for me...I have a plan. Listen now. You are to lead this guy to me. I must see him. I think that he is looking
for me for only one reason - he is my brother. Lead him here.
{Chief of Spies} - Yes Sir. As you command.

The figure was left alone again in the corner of the bar, while the other man left it in a hurry manner.

"...Some guy in the bar told me that he knew where Vladimir-my brother is. He told me to follow him, and he'll lead me to him. I don't know If I
can't trust him, but I don't have much choice...I'll have to open my eyes..."

2 hours later
BH ship Avenger docking with Montezuma base

"...So this is it. My brother has turned the other page. I understood that I'm here on his will. I wonder what will I see.Should I be happy about
this moment?I don't know.Only time will tell..."

*****************

At Montezuma's docking hangar.

It was the dark figure there. Standing. The Hammerhead cut off his engines.The pilot of the ship went down the movable ladder. For a moment they
watched at eachother. Than they stepped closely at the same time. A hug followed. The dark figure lead the man to the insides of the base.

*****************
The two brothers had a long conversation...and slowly Adrian became more and more like his broter. A connection stronger than life itself was made
then.And from it a plan was crafted... The liberty cruser was to be hijacked. Adrian now called The Avenger is to take half of the "Redeemer" crew
and command the cruser to Vladimir's will. A train working with The terrorist will get the crew and Adrian to California Minor. One of Adrians childhood
friends - George is to be drawn to the darkness.He is an assault bomber pilot from the elite 8492nd squadron.He used to be...Now he will be evil's
right hand.This job will be done by Vladimir himself. The capitans of The "Redeemer" were ordered to get weapons for the cruser and the re-constructed
"Redeemer".
*****************

From the Montezuma base two ships un-docked and took different cources. One was a cargo train and headed to California.The other was a Werewolf fighter
and headed to Omicron Theta-last place of sightings of Jr.-captian George Dimitrov - callsign "Purity"...
The plan was set in motion...tremble humans!...
