Child of Crete

Alpha-Bravo squadron, this is wing leader, copy. Five acknowledgement signals appeared on Wing Leaders dashboard. Were moving in for the attack, Niles move from the side, Jones from above, the rest of you with me. Wait till he re-engages cruise engines then disrupt him. If he tries to jump through the hole, space im. Over and out.

All six ships of the Bounty Hunter wing had their engines killed in strategic locations around Custo. If he so much as jettisoned a square centimetre of oxygen, they would see.

Wing Leader hated the cloud. Full of radiation and aliens. Frigging aliens! The only reason he was even in system was because of the bounty. It was a biiiig bounty. Money over morals every time and that was why they were going for the little Legionnaire instead of the Titan patrols that frequented the area.

Custo had the distinct feeling he was being watched. He got a lock on a asteroid and blew it to pieces, scanned the debris and retargeted another. After another pain-staking two minuets he got what he was looking for. Artifacts.

They had been released from the asteroid and were spinning away from him. He quickly smashed the tractor button and felt the ship jump as it was sucked into his cargo bay. He had the artifact, now he only had to make it home, but radar was picking up anomalies. He swore again and slammed the ship into cruise mode, waiting for the engines to charge, praying they would be ready in time. He set a waypoint for Crete and hoped to hell they werent looking for him.
