The end of Victor Franks.

[n00bl3t]

Ichigo Tsukumura was the second biggest player in the plot to assassinate Victor Franks; for Victor Franks was two things to Ichigo Tsukumura, and one of them was a competitor.

Tsukumura removed the note from the false brick, used a small tube of liquid expanding concrete on one face of it, and stuck it back in place in the wall. This dead drop would never be used again. Tsukumura did not bother to read the note. He only paid Mathew Talence to evaluate his suitability. Talence was marked as a potential and his name would be filed for use in the future.

Another ship left the spaceport. A kingfisher of ill repute made it's way out to the stars. It headed to the Omicrons. It would reach it's destination in a few days. On board, Ichigo Tsukumura sighed for the paperwork that awaited him. Before this fighter would reach home though, two transports which left from the port hours earlier would reach their destination.

On the second day of it's journey, the Akapusa would hit a small freighter which had been traveling behind it due to a tradelane failure. The freighter was newly registered so the Captain of the Akapusa did not bother to fuss over the slight shield damage. Another reason was that he could hear the Captain of the freighter break down over the comms about how he wasn't paid enough to repair his ship. A routine in-space internal inspection of the ship had to take place though, for the Akapusa followed protocol. This delayed it's journey by a few hours. The freighter battled on, with damage towards it's unknown destination.

The Akapusa touched down on The Ring and the girl which signed on left the vessel calmly. Thirty minutes later, she left in an Eagle heading towards Stuttgart. The Captain of the Akapusa would wonder after her in two hours time, and receive the news of the actual dead crewman in Honshu in three. The incident would be filed, but not investigated. The memory of the incident would fade from the Captain's memory in time.

Around the same time the Eagle entered Stuttgart, the Hikishi Maru would touch down in Omega 3. If Mathew Talence had been hired once more he would see from his absolute frame a showdown set to take place in the Omegas. However, he was in the Sigmas cursing his lack of credits, and damaged Bactrian freighter. The Omicrons seems obliquely far to him as per the events that had taken place.

The second girl left the Hikishi Maru and stepped on board a small postal freighter headed to a holiday destination frequented by Liberty citizens in Rheinland. The Captain did not wonder after her, for it was a simple contract. One freelance job. He was too busy trying to evaluate the dozens of applications for crewman wanting to get off the base and willing to travel anywhere else.

Through the window in his hotel room, Victor Franks watched the sun begin to set. He had watched quite a few sunsets during his time here and instead of taking in the sight before him once more, he wondered about his letter which he had posted ninety seven hours previously.
