"We are going to Harris. Why do you ask?" John asked Austin, helplessly trying to gain control over his Templar. "We'd better get moving before another frog-patrol arrives."

Section Five... what? Layla didn't want to further query further into this but rather wanted to move along, like John suggested.
"Yeah, can't stand those slimy creatures anymore, and the Lieutenant from section four sure has more work to attend to.. Mike, I hope you received the way points I just transferred onto your nav computer."
Right they just appeared on my screen was about to plot the way myselfe but this is far easier.
Mike said while entering the new Coordinates into his Autopilot.
Shall we get going or are you waiting for another Gaulpatrol to approach Leeds?
Without waiting for a reply Mike charged his Cruise Engines and activated the Autopilot.

"Chaps know that Harris is a bit behind enemy lines, yeah? Edinburgh has fallen and you won't be able to have anyone to come and help you. Also, mind if I tag along... I, kinda have something to do on Harris. Or at least check up on." Austin stated in a reply, drawing in a short breath as he looked down at his scanners, "Call it a personal favor I owe someone back on Cambridge."
"Oh yeah, and don't forget to report back to your boss when we return." John nervously barked into the comms, while desperately trying to enter formation with Layla's Templar. "I will be more than happy if we will manage to get back home in one piece."

As the little squadron dashed through open space toward the Edinburgh jumphole, they hardly spoke a word but rather concentrated on keeping track of what was going on around them. In this area everyone who held grudges against the Gallic king was prone to fall victim to an ambush of the Royal Navy. It was even more perilous now that the Royal Navy had equipped many of their large capital ships and little scouts with cloaking devices.
After a while Layla broke the silence as she couldn't resist to ask Goodman a question anymore.
"Mister Goodman, I'm quite curious as to what your business on Harris is, may I know the reason why you're heading there? Unless it is some kind of confidential information of course..."
He sighed heavily when his thoughts were broken, having almost disappeared into them completely on the long journey towards the Edinburgh Jumphole. Looking down at the console to see if anything was following or giving chase, he forged a reply, knowing that it wasn't exactly classified. He was also wondering why they were heading towards the Edinburgh Jumphole when... the gate to Tau-31 was secure.
"I heard rumors that a group of marines were stuck planet-side when the Gallic Navy pushed into Tau-31, forcing the MacDuff to pull back. Also... wouldn't the gate have been a better choice?"
John heard Austin's ranting, and thought twice before answering. "Wait a moment, right? Do you want to tell me we are going through a frog-infested system with whole fleet sitting there at the other side of the hole? You know what? Just give them a call we are coming so they can catch us sooner than we jump out of that hole, okay?" John leaned back into his chair. "This is my last trip, Layla. I swear."

Having entered Harris's atmosphere, everyone was relieved they actually made it to their destination. Everyone except John. They've flown over endless rocky plains cut with tall mountains. Not a fancy planet to spend a holiday on, really.
"Something stinks here. The main problem is I have no idea what it is." John said, but nobody paid any attention to him, since his squadmates already had enough of his ranting all over the way to Harris. "Umm, guys... Something is really wrong here." Still no response.
John has finally shut up. The formation was halfway to their designated landing pad. A spark flew off John's engine. Shortly after this incident, his Templar started to lose altitude. His squadmates noticed, and wondered why he is quiet. His engine was on fire!
John's Templar kept nearing the surface, eventually crashing into a rocky hill, leaving a huge explosion.
