This is a story about Ex. Zoner Commodore who left Zoners to seek justice his own way. His parents were killed and Zoners did nothing so he decided he will leave everything and join Bounty Hunters in his search for killers.
Captain Jason Blake commanding "Fearless" Destroyer is facing 3 Corsair capital ships. One "Preafect" cruiser and two gunboats. He knows he can't win this one, but he won't back down. He locked all three ships on his targeting sensors and retreated to a nebula where he will be harder to see.
Corsair Captain on all space channels: "Zoner vessel, power down your weapons and you will not be harmed. We have come to collect what is ours."
Captain Blake on internal comm: "Engineering activate deflector busterizator. We have to hide from their scanners better or we won't stand a chance."
Captain Blake on all space channels: "Turn around Corsairs. This is property of Zoners. We will not give it to you."
Corsair Captain on internal comm: "Is there anyway to lock them with our weapons?"
Corsair pilot on internal comm: "Negative sir. They are making too much noise on our scanners."
Corsair Captain on internal comm: "Damn! Fire few warning shots, randomly into the nebula!"
Corsair pilot on internal comm: "Aye sir!"
Corsair Preafect fires three short bursts into the nebula. However they all miss Zoner destroyer. Captain Blake's confidence rises. He orders launching a missile towards the other side of the nebula and then shoots it down with cruise disruptor.
Captain Blake on internal comm: "Well, this was risky but let's hope it will work."
Corsair pilot on internal comm: "Sir, there is explosion in nebula but... it's nowhere near Zoner's destroyer. At least where it should be."
Captain Blake on all space channels: "Corsair captain as you may have already noticed we are no longer alone in this nebula. I am giving you one last chance to turn around and leave!"
Corsair Captain on internal comm: "Damn you fools! You should have scanned for engine traces entering nebula. Now there could be five ships already in there!"
Corsair Captain on local space channel: "Well Zoner, you might have won this one, but we shall meet again. All vessels, power down your weapons and set course for Omicron Gamma."
