Armored Pelican slowly approached Stuttgart's docking ring, hailing docking control. Wing of military fighters was making ready to dock one after another to battleship Karlsruhe guarding Stuttgart's closest area and lanes in the system. Lack of one fighter in normally six vessel strong wing, and fresh scratches from laser guns on armor of two further ships were clear signs piracy in Rheinland is having good times.
Admiral on retirement Joachim Landers looked at incomplete wing with dissapoinment. Since the loss of Leipzig, destruction of gates to Hamburg and Munich Disaster pirates became more fearless than ever. Current Rheinland's problems started after Interspace ban. A tragic in results move, enforced by hawk politician lobby from New Berlin, connected with high ranking Military circles was opposed by many in and outside Rheinland, voicing their objections. Nonetheless, Bonn station was assaulted, and fatal results harmed Rheinland economy much; many small and medium companies bankrupted, even traditional big players had some problems.
Pelican entered atmosphere with few lighter turbulences, but seat belts protected the crew and passenger well from bumping head into metal hull. Vessel didn't land in Stuttgart's capital city, but directed its flight path to south pole.
"Thrust engines off, we're switching to repulsors.." - said the captain. Stuttgart's oxygen-rich atmosphere made it impossible to use normal engines on the planet. Shuttle landed softly and soon man in a suit accompanied by bodyguard was shaking Joachim's hand.
"Admiral Landers, I'm Rolf Pokorni. I hope the journey was safe? Please, we've got transport already waiting for us" - said Pokorni, pointing at luxury electric car, armored in a subtle, almost unnoticeable way. Platings were componed so well into the car so they could be taken for decorations. Man in a suit and admiral took the back seats, the door closed and silent electric battery-powered car rode the road between vast fields of grey plant.
