The Altenau, one of the most famous Rheinland Military cruisers from the Rheinland-Liberty war era, was roaming the Walker Nebula silently. Away from hessians, corsairs, libertonians, even from friendly forces, the Altenau was alone. It’s only company was the nebula around it and the eternal silence.
Suddenly, a shuttle broke the silence as it was reaching the cruiser.
„Thirty seconds, we’re almost there.”
„Altenau, this is Shuttle Einz, we have the „package”. Make the dock clear….and make a medic ready.”
„Verstanden.” – said Admiral Landers with his young characteristic voice through the radio.
The „package” was in fact Laura Schoon herself. After she attempted to commit suicide, a few military agents left behind by the Admiral rescued her. If she’s going to make it though, it’s unknown.
After the shuttle successfully docked, the soldiers carried her to the infirmary. The doctor examined her, shaked his head a few times, give in some medicine, then scratched his head.
„Doctor?” – asked the Admiral as soon as the soldiers left.
The doctor took off his glasses and replied.
„She’ll have a headache, but yes. She’ll be alright. Although, I’d like to keep her here for a few days.”
Joachim sighed.
„Inform me as soon as she’s awake.” – said while walking out.
Where I am? What happened?- she looks around
Nobody is here... Am I dead? Am I in heaven? -someone walked into the room?
Who are you? Who every you are get away from me! [/color[color=#FFFFFF]]-she seems nervous
'tag fraulein, how are you - The men asks with a friendly voice
f...ff...fine..., Where I am? - She said anxiously
You're on the Altenau...
Oh ok, thanks for the information... - The men dissapears
Joachim were in his quarter, writing his personal blog after he had lef tthe infirmary.
"...My left arm is better, I was able to do a few push up before the pain came back. My side still hurts. According to the doctors, I'll never be able to fly a fighter again. I'm at war with this statement every day, but as these days pass, I feel the only option I have is..."
Joachim stopped typing as someone knocked on the door. He shut his notebook indignantly and opened the door. A gefreiter reported that Laura was awake. He took on his coat and hat and headed to the infirmary.
On his arrival, he saw that Laura was staring at the ceiling. He coughed, drawing her attention, friendly nodded and asked while walking towards her bed.
-She stood up, just to sit down at the next nerby chair, she breathed heavy, this pain was incredible, just to talk would take more strengh as she has, but she is strong, she allways was-
"I'm fine, more or less. Why did you saved me? I thought we finished as far as I remember. You will get much trouble if people would know I'm here... This is not the task of an Admiral, its not your task.
I dont know how to behave in this situation, I think I should be happy that I'm still allive but at the other side I dont know what to do now... So much things changed. I'm happy to be hear Landers, dont get it wrong... But I wish all this didnt happen, and things would be different. But this isnt possible, we are here and we need to deal with this Situation as good as we can."
So, why did you took me to this place? I think we need to talk a little bit...
"It's okay, Laura." - Joachim gave a glass of water to Laura - "Drink this, you'll be better."
As Laura breathed the doctor came but Joachim sent him away. "It's alright, leave us." He nodded and left.
"I've seen a lot of things, Laura. I've lost a lot of soldiers to libertonians, hessians, corsairs et cetera. It's hell damn my task to save whoever I could. That's why I didn't let you after Vivian, but it wasn't necessary, you'd have done it yourself if I hadn't left my men there. Where were I supposed to take you? To the Karlsruhe, so everyone would know about this incident?"
Joachim took a deep breath and calmed down.
"You should be grateful you're still alive" - said kindly - "So what do you want to talk about?"
-She takes a deep breath, she noticed that she needs more and more strengh to speak, but she still goes on-
Well, you're right... If they tooked me to Karlsruhe I wouldnt be in the Police anymore. So you act totally right. But you must admit that you arent as strong as you do. Because you act like you dont care about Vivian or the Soldiers that die every day. Well, but this doenst need to be discussed anymore.
So where do we go now? What's with my duty, I think the Polizeidirektor will be angry if I dont fufill my duty? And, what are we going to do now Landers?
"We'll talk about that later, Laura." - Joachim stood up and helped Laura getting into her bed. "Take some sleep, you really need it."
He returned to his quarter and took in some painkillers. He was thinking about something... something important. Completely forgot about his personal log, he fell asleep on his chair.
"Hell what a dream, it was so real..." -She stood up-
I must look for Joachim. Where he is...-She took a few deep breaths, and walks out of the room-
Arggg... My whole buddy is still hurting... Dont know If I will find him...
-She tries a few door-hmmm... Just some bedrooms, and a Kitchen
-She opened the door at the end of the floor-Wow... that must be the Kommando Bride... Well better I dont bother anybody here. Lets continue. -She tries a few doors more, close at the end of her power she arrives the right door-
-She knocked at the door, then she looses her awareness-
