Alright, if we're done chatting, would the gentlemen please step inside so we can leave?

-enters the pod as well, after giving the area a quick once-over to make sure there are no more drones waiting to get the drop on them-

Clear.

-Sits down inside the pod, seals the door, and launches it. The pod careens away from the ship, into space.-

No idea. All I know is that we dropped out of hyperspace, and after that the navigation consoles died.

-rests his brow on his knuckles, his eyes closed as he looses an annoyed sigh-

Wonderful. Are we in a star system, at least?

Yes. We'll just have to wait until we're planetside... we'll have some time to kill.

-Over intercom, voice masked-

You've got controls in that thing, right? Follow me. I'll dump you at the nearest colony.

Don't ask how I got your frequemcy. I'm the only thing you got out here.

Curse the ill fortune that led you to me.

-operates the escape pod's radio-

We could have used you a while back... and how can we be sure that you won't just take what we have and dump us back in space?

That's far enough, mister. Off with the helmet.

Yeah, I left the Erinthios. That doesn't mean I didn't want to come back. That was one hell of a mess you walked out of.

Anyway, I lied. This isn't the nearest colony. This is my colony. Omega.

With the money I earn from this place, and the black market. Well.

Pulls out a keyfob and presses a button. A wall on the right hand side. Behind it is a series of 3 stealth fighters turned into space-faring vessels.

There they are, Freedom II, Freedom III and Freedom VI. Feel free to rename them.

-briefly thinks to himself, What happened to I, IV and V, then? before shrugging and walking over to six-

Hello, Blightwing...

Omega? I've been in this sector of space before. It's kind of a criminal hive-city, right?

I is mine.

IV and V were destroyed as prototypes.

Yeah, it is a bit of a wasteland. It's best that way. When I usurped Aria, I saw why she kept it this way.

You play Mass Effect, l3wt?

Ah, you're a real lifesaver, Plumbum. We probably wouldn't have survived.

-walks over to Freedom III-

I think I'll call this one... Challenger.

-turns to L3wt-

What were you doing here anyway, L3wt?

I'm pretty sure he has, yeah. As have I.

-hops into the vehicle's cockpit, studying the layout of the controls. Though he knows he has never seen this fighter before, the console feels as familiar as the back of his hand; this worries Sullen for reasons he cannot understand-

Fuck yes, do I play Mass Effect!

Look, after I involuntarily left the Imperium's navy I spent a lot of time as a mercenary. Omega's always had a lot of job opportunities.

And you, my friend, shall be known as... Imperator.
