Chapter 3 The Silver Gateway
By Mike Tyrell

The Silver Gateway, built before the times of T1 series technology. The Gateway uses enormous amount of energy to fold space. But the problem you must enter the location of another gate to come out. If entered without proper calculation of the other gate there is no way of telling where you might come out. The technology was built by the Kayteens and charged chunks of cash for passing through before Alliance scientist ended their dominance with the T1 series technology.
The T1 series technology belt by Professor Terdevoul Hansen. The basic Idea is instead of having both gates of both sides of the subspace, you have a computer that follows his algorithm calculating from where to inter and where to exit and leave the computer to make the pretty complicated computational method and adjust accordingly in real time if the variables change such as ships weight speed rate of turning and other things. Which makes this task impossible to almost all species including humans and very difficult to cyborgs with super artificial brain enhancers.
“So why are we here any way” Leo asked the question fearing the answer “we are going to go through it” Jack calmly replies through the COM unit, Leo looks at Big Dog “how are you going to go through it with no gate on the other side to open?” Big Dog answered while turning on the T1 generator “we don’t need a gate” he calmly replies “your so calm it's like you did this before” Leo trying to assure himself “No” Big Dog says, he takes a breath and continues “what we are about to attempt is theoretically impossible. But I heard about guy who they say did it” Leo started sweating “what are we going to do and who is this guy who done it” Big Dog started to get pretty annoyed with Leo “Jack is going to toe us through hyperspace manually you fool. And the guy who did it was killed doing so” not liking what he just heard Leo started to pray, he started to count all his wrongs and sins through life. And it was a very long list.
Jack attached the fighter upside down underneath the Dog Pound, OBC relayed the computer coordinates to his screen. “Jack” Big Dog calls “ you have to stay no more or less than four degrees of the constantly changing heading you see” Jack thinks “ so if there is a quick turn?” Big Dog answered “That will spill my coffee you Moran, now give a minute to use what's left of the ships power to activate the gate” spill my coffee is the term Big Dog used to describe that will kill us, Leo asked “what makes you think the gate still has power to function” by that time Big Dog had enough of Jack and Leo he quickly pulled out his side arm and slammed it on the control panel in front of him and looked at Leo and said while grinding his teeth “its self sufficient” Leo backed away and tied his seat belts as tight as he can and continued praying. The radar started to beep signaling an approaching vessel, it was an Alliance destroyer quickly heading there way, Jack knows that in seconds they will be in there targeting range but he was more afraid of what Big Dog might do to him then the Alliance if they caught him. The circle shape gate illuminate a very beautiful and bright silver color signaling it's ready to be used. Jack quickly fires up the thrusters OBC warned “warning we are in locking range of a class destroyer Alliance ship” Jack replied “Not for long baby”
Big Dog sat let a cigar and started to smoke, Leo shouted “how can you be calm in a time like that” Big Dog softly replied “shut up you fool. Jack needs to concentrate on this. Keeping the ship within four degrees of the rapidly changing numbers you see in front of you is impossible. Not even the most powerful on board A.I. can do that” he looks ahead as the ship vigorously shake and rattle all around “you distract him now we die” Big Dog said blowing smoke. Jack doing his best in holding them on course, he quickly recalibrates the thrusters, turns the rudders open the flaps and closes them, at this amazing speed they are traveling in he moves just as fast, it's his life he is risking and it’s the only one he has at the moment.
Jack wakes up to the sun on his face, a cool breeze passes by the smell of sea water in the background and the look Big Dogs face finishing his cigar with a smile “wake up we are here” Big Dog informs, Jack slowly got up and sow OBC and the Dog Pound with smoke rising from them result of the speed. He looks around and sees Leo his face all read throwing his guts out in the corner, Jack looked around and saw busy traffic of transports coming in and out of the planet. He looked up at Big Dog “bumpy ride boss” Jack asked, Big Dog answered back “you passed out right before entering the planet, gave quite a scare to our friend over there. Jack smiled “so did he tell us why we are here” Big Dog looked at Leo and said “as soon as he is done”. Finally Leo approaches Jack and Big Dog and gives them the assignment. “Your job is to bring in Ambuto hand him over to me”, Jack looked at Big Dog “Boss, are you hearing this right. Kencade want us to take down the biggest arms dealer around here” Big Dog replied to Leo “ No bounty hunter in his right mind would attempt that” Leo said looking at both of them “apparently that’s why Kencade picked you two bone heads for the job” he turned around and said as he was walking away "There is a bar very close, The Marian, I'll be waiting there
Ambuto from the alien race of the Busha'ar, they make their living selling weapons to both side of any armed conflict. Ambuto is known to provide everything from High end Mega Battle stars to cheep body armor for the right price, and usually that’s very high.
Inside the Dog Pound Big Dog is reading his weapons from the small armory on board, Jack on the other hands expresses his concerns "Boss, you're not serious in going after Ambuto? I mean we are small time hunters". Jack was concerned with the way Big Dog was acting, when they decided to go in the hunter business, they agreed to go after easy hunts only. Big Dog looked at Jack while loading bullets in his side arm "Maybe it's time for us to join the big league" Jack didn’t like his answer he pressed on "Big Dog, we can't just walk in and just drag Ambuto back to Kencade" Big Dog smiled and replied "we are going to do just that. Besides we need his black address book" Jack said "Girls?" Big Dog said "Clients, dates and locations. Remember the Amarian Princess? Whoever nabbed her defiantly used equipment only he can supply" the thought of that reward the rich Amarian King came to Jacks mind and suddenly all his worries disappeared. "Okay Boss, I'm with you on this one. Hand one of those guns there" the old man turns to him "no guns for you, that’s the plan" Jack shouted "UNARMED"
That night in the middle of town a very well known night club where Ambuto is seen doing business, Jack manages to enter alone. Unarmed he walks to the bar and asks the barkeep. "I'm looking to shop not to drink" the barkeep points to a door guarded by a few very large unknown alien species. Jack walks to them they search him and let him pass. Second floor of the club covered entirely with bullet proof tainted glass. "Here expecting you" Ambuto shouted, Jack was surprised that Ambuto knew who he was, and worried that he is going to die. Jack sat in a chair opposite to him "Jack Reamo" Jack replied "General Ambuto you know me?" Ambuto replied "yes, but I won't remember you for long" a young lady to them and sat at the table. Jack recognized her "you set me in Amaria, there were people shooting at me" she replied "well that’s behind us now I didn’t think you'll make it but here you are" she turns to Ambuto "okay it seems that the merchandise is intact and this sucker is an added bonus" Ambuto had a thing for torture and to him Jack is in the right place in the right time. "mur mur" Ambuto says as someone approaches with a fizzing drink to him. The Girl picks up a case was next to her and leaves. A large alien quickly holds Jacks hand on the table "mur mur, I finish drink you lose fingers. Tell me where stuff is I kill you quickly" the person puts the drink on the table "mur mur, thank you old man you new take care of me I tip you good" the old man pulls a gun to Ambutos head and says "better pay up now than before I take care of you" Jack was really happy to hear the sweet voice Big Dog posing as a night club waiter. Outside the girl walks slowly to a parked transport, the door opens for her as she approaches. "Did Ambuto pay you my love" the man in the driver seat asks "Yes" he turns to her "good work" as he finished this sentence a large explosion was heard "I see you planted the bomb" she says "No you ordered me not to" she turns around and sees the burning night club and the sound of gunfire every coming out of the burning building "It seems I underestimated the ability of this bounty hunter" she looked up in the sky and could clearly see Alliance battle groups in formation in the sky. "Let's go now things are going to get sticky real soon" she jumps in the small transport and flies away.
High above in the sky four Alliance class two heave destroyers a detachment from the Wolf-Fang battle group noticed the commotion below. Commander Nesta orders his lieutenants to monitor the situation below. "Commander" a lieutenant reports "we just received word from the province director, a turf war just erupted between rival gangs. He also reports a known gun smuggler was spotted in the region" Nesta replies to the lieutenant "order the director to stand down, its Alliance business from now on. Order a strike force down below and board any ship leaving the planet".
In a dark alley behind the burning night club three men running away, two of them dragging the third are pursued by Ambuto's bodyguards. Hiding behind a big dumpster from the barrage of flying bullets Big Dog shouts at Jack "You didn’t have to start a war" Jack shouts back "He was going to cut off my fingers, and I happen to love my fingers" Big Dog shouts back "your mess, you clean it up" Big Dog drags the scared Ambuto and runs off while leaving Jack to cover their behind. The scared Ambuto shouts "crazy, crazy, no mind. I pay double bounty, triple bounty let Ambuto go" Big Dog points his gun to Ambutos very big head "Not NOW, just shut up and run or you'll get us both killed" a few back behind the dumpster Jack returns fire at the body guards, he gave time for Big Boss and Ambuto to get away and then lead them in another direction, well that was the plan. Jack was just about to turn the other way when shots from above held back from going his way, he quickly looked up and sow Alliance commandos equipped with jet packs descending down on him. Jack quickly revise his plan, under heavy fire from above he jumps on the dumpster and using a nearby fire escape he quickly climbs up to the first floor and jumps intercepting the first of the descending Alliance commandos. He disarms him and pushes the power button on his arm to increase the jet packs power to send them flying back up. Kicking and biting in the air Jack jumps off just as he reaches the top of the building stealing his side arm, ammo, COM unit and jet pack controls leaving the commandos jet pack on high power flying him away. He quickly equips the COM unit and runs of jumping from one roof top to another followed by flying Alliance commandos, just as they were about to catch he slips down a ventilation shaft of an abandon building he used his feet, hands and side arm to hold himself upside down till he managed to jump out from an opening on to one of the floors, he sat down to rest and listened to Alliance communication. "Alliance command, request strike on sector echo tango Charlie lima zero niner" and the confirmation came back "confirmation destroyer laser cannons on structure sector echo tango Charlie lima zero niner is a go in nine seconds" for a minute there Jack felt sorry for the poor guy they will strike until he realized it was him. He jumps up and runs as fast as he can towards a window picking up a cat on the way, he jumps out just as the laser cannons hit the building making it crumble down on its self not affecting surrounding buildings. He breaks throw a window in the building next door falling on a bed. He looks around and finds a young man surprised standing in front of him, he comes to Jacks aid and happily shouts "God have answered my prayers, god have answered my prayers." Jack cleans himself from broken glass and asks "what prayer exactly did god answer for you" the young man quickly replies "I have prayed god for a man and there you are on my bed" Jack thinks for a while and hands over the cat to him "Mr. Jinks is the perfect man" and leaves the apartment.
A few hours later, just before dawn. Big Dog and Ambuto reaches the docks, Leo was already waiting for them. You can hear gunfire from the raging battle in the distance and visibly see one destroyer giving support to its troops on the ground using its laser cannons. "Where is that other bone" Leo asks Big Dog turns and looks behind and sees Jack tired and dirty just arriving to their location. "what the delay" Big Dog asks Jack "I meet someone but was not ready to commit". Big Dog hands over Ambuto to Leo just as Leo transfers the funds to Big Dog. Ambuto turns to Jack and says "Stupid brain, I leave lawyer help me before in cage. Mur Mur" Leo laughs and says "It's great doing business with you two bone heads, have a nice what's left of your life" and left followed with Kencades men. Jacks asks "what the hell is mur mur any way" Big Dog answers "something about your mother being so fat" Ambuto had a very strange humor.
"So where too" Jack asks "Dresden" Big Dog answers "its very far and under Kayteen administration" Big Dog answers lighting a cigar "there is one shipment of weapons going to Amaria in Ambutos electronic address book, and six of the same shipment coming of the planet, and one same shipment just left for Dresden" Jack replies "I hate swimming" then they both look up to the sky as first light starts to light up the sky clearly unveiling three class two destroyers firing at unarmed transports refusing to stop "what about the Alliance" Jacks asks Big Dog does not answers and enjoys his cigar. Jack new that Big Dog is planning to take down the destroyers but how?

Piggy backing on the out side hull of a Mammoth class transport. Jack and Big Dog discuss there next step while travelling through hyperspace to Kabeatha sector United Galaxy. The small ship shakes and rumbles while clinching to the gigantic transport. Big Dog going on some plans of the new age fighter says “I just still don't know how the hell you do it. Piggy backing through hyperspace” Jack turns his head to the back seat “When they invent a T1-5 mobile generator that can fold hot spots, ill stop doing that” OBC joins the conversation “illegal manoeuvre, OBC cant support unknown manoeuvre at this time” Jack answers back “Don't worry OBC, ill handle things from here” Jack recalibrate thrusters to minimize the shaking “So Biggy, now that you know Dog pound been repoed on you we don't have enough cash to pay up” Big Dog answers back “Don't worry we will figure things out when we get there. After we sort that out we should check out what the deal with this space fighter”

As the Mammoth class transport exits near the planet G1 Jack swiftly detaches from the Transport and gently descends through the planets atmosphere. exiting the thick clouds uncover the once war torn city below. Its demolished skyscrapers a memory left for the people a grim reminder of the past. The city is now a gambling capital of the universe. Jack slowly follows the mid air signs instructing parking locations. After parking they gather there stuff and head straight to the loan shark that stole there transport The Dog Pound. Entering a restaurant in the lower section if the city, Big Dog quickly approaches a table by he is stopped by guns pointing on his face. “ My transport” Big Dog shouts out, the man sitting at the table Robert Kencade calmly replies “Your late in your payments and I had to take actions” Big Dog grunts “I am not late” Kencade replies quickly “I have a reputation to keep, If I gave you more time to settle your payments then I have to do that for every body and thats bad for business” he adjusts his suite and stands up “but there is one little thing you can do for me” Jack shouts out from the back “Don't do it” Kencade walks closer to Big Dog and says “Ill help you, just this once. This is your chance to pay me back, get on my good side and keep your junk transport” Big Dog thinks for a moment “Okay, ill do it” “Excellent” Kencade answers “Find this guy for me, my man Leo will be with you the whole way to give you info and collect”

Finally the transport with a dog holding a cigar painted on the side slowly hover above the destroyed skyscrapers. With OBC cramped in the cargo hold they head to a location from which they can blast off to space. On the command deck Leo sitting next Big Dog helping by entering the location for nearest hot spot. Jack inters the command deck with a towel on his head covering his wet hair. “Boss do we have to carry barrels of paint in the cargo hold? really cramped down there with a fighter and all” Big Dog just done calibrating the equipment replies “You realize that we need the money, we are low on ammo, fuel and food. By the way its an easy job” Jack thinks for a moment and has an astonishing idea “Big Dog ill be in the cargo area, ill check OBC for scratches” and quickly runs off. Jack went back to repaint OBC with the paint there transporting. The ship shakes vigorously indicating its successful escape of the planet G1's gravity. It successfully opens a near by hot spot to jump on there way to the Rajail system.

coming out of hyperspace the Dog Pound must travel through a dangerous sector. Infested by Python raiders, they are very well armed drug addicts, unorganized, they roam through space usually far shipping lanes attacking any thing that is worth some thing. Exchanging it for Python, to cool down there never ending burning crave. Python, a highly addictive drug, easy to manufacture with a high market value. Said to elevate the spirit to the ultimate stat of blissfulness. But the reality of this poison is the same as the Python Snake. It wraps it self on its victim, slowly and painfully, squeezing its prey out of its resources till it dies. The only way to live is to have more.. There is no cure.

they are almost there. The hot spot from which to make the final jump to there destination. Big Dog blows out a sigh of releaf, only with well armed well escorted groups that he dares to pass this sector but under the current situation he had to. He wanted to get Kencade of his back as soon as possible. Slowly and carefully the Dog Pound halts near the hot spot and started the sequence for the jump.

A distress call is sounded just as they enter the numbering sequence for the jump out “This is the Red Sun. We are under attack please help us” Big Dog looked at Jack and Leo. Leo knew Big Dog was not counting votes he quickly answered “No way, these are Python pumped junkies you want to go against, besides they are out of our way” Jack replied “Big Dog, Red Sun is a royal Alliance transport if we save them its free supplies, fuel and some cash” Big Dog adjusts his seat and fires up the engines full speed back toward the Red Sun “You guys are crazy” Leo shouts. Jack jumps out of his seat and runs back to prepare OBC for the big fight. “Red Sun we are visual with you adjust your heading to zero one four” Big Dog radios out. The Python capital ship was firing all of its main weapons when The Dog Pound got closer. More then eighty Python fighter ships surrounded the royal ship preventing them from escaping. Debree of Alliance short range fighter crafts and chunks of a large destroyer fill the space all around them. Jack blasts off out of the cargo letting out all there cargo of paint. With high speed Jack quickly takes a run over the Red Sun shooting what he can from Python fighters forcing his presence to be known, he then goes back to the capital ship and takes aim on its on board guns. All the python fighters turn around behind Jack as the sieged Red Sun breaks off and follows the Dog Pound to the nearest jump point. Big Dog looks at a screen showing the large mess Jack is causing to the Raiders, Leo asks as he notices there distance increases away from the raiders “Is Jack going to be okay” Big Dog calmly replies “I trained him my self. He is going to be just fine” Big Dog was not sure of his answer but has faith in Jacks fighting skills.

The feminine voice of OBC sounds off “OBC shields at maximum. Weapons munition low” Jack interrupted her shouting “Stop with the reports and think of a way out of this” OBC replied “I am not designed to pilot this fighter, however I have detected a weakness in point two four five of the capital ships hull” Jack barely avoiding a barrage of lasers bullets, missiles and various weapons fired at him “You mean next to there power source” OBC quickly replied “Yes, a sufficient blow to that area would defenatly cause the power source to implode ” Jack takes a deep breath and shouts “What are we waiting for”. Not far near the Hot Spot Big Dog is almost ready to fold space for the jump when a blinding light came from behind. His instruments indicates that the Raiders capital ship just blew up and one fighter followed by a group of fighters coming there way at high speed. Leo looked at the radar and back at Big Dog “impossible, he blew up a capital ship with one fighter” as space started fold Dog pound jumped followed by the Red Sun and Jack safely piggy backing on its side.

A few hours later "Where are we” Leo asks “Alliance shipping lane. Alliance battle group will appear at any moment” The COM unit beeps “Dog when are they going to show, I really have to pee” Big Dog replies “there not far just hang on for just ten minutes” as soon as Big Dog finished his sentence an Alliance heavy class destroyer showed up from a near by Hot Spot as it slowly makes its way towards them another one showed up then another and then another. They where twenty in total with a two class five battle carriers each with the ability to carry more then seventy different types of fighters and enough soldiers and fire power to take over the whole galaxy, a couple of fuel transports and a mobile ship yard. OBC beeped “incoming transmission” Jack responds “Put it through” then the voice on the other end “This is the Red Sun please proceed to landing point alpha maintain visual approach Delta two while your transport refuel and reload “ Jack quickly contacted Big Dog “Hey boss they want me to land on the Red Sun” Big Dog replies “I know, they just agreed to fork over some cash and fuel. I am docking with there fuel transport, you collect from the Red Sun” Jack kept on looking at the show of force while he slowly navigated his way between the destroyers and fly very closely next to the the Class five battle carrier to the Red Sun. “Wolf Fang Battle Group” Jack reads on the side. He enters the Red Sun the amount of damage the Red Sun sustained was clear from the out side but from the inside was another story. Jack noticed star fighters barely new not launched. . “Jack this is Big Dog do you read” Jack on a low encrypted frequency, “Go ahead” Jack quickly answers knowing some thing bad is about to happen “Jack I sow seven fighters facing right” Jack was unhappy “oh no, what did you do. What did you do, I hate canned noodles” Big Dog replied “I did not do any thing and not waiting to see whats going to happen, I am disconnecting my fuel line and heading to Alpha Red point” Jack looked ahead and sow the ground eliminating with a green light indicating his location to land, he looked around and sow armed troops taking position. Jack adjusts him self in his seat and tightens his seat belt. He makes sure his helmet is comfortably secured. He looks straight ahead and sees a man with long blond hair surrounded by what looks like advisors and a few security personnel for protection in a very tight area Jack manages to turn the ship around and fires his boosters on his way to the exit, OBC detects of the closing hanger door to prevent him from escaping, Jack then increases the speed his speed, almost hitting walls from one side or large cranes moving parts around from the other, he tilts the space fighter side ways to almost pass through the closing hanger doors scratching one of its wings on his way out.

The Alliance commander did not like the way Jack managed to escape but he was very impressed by the skills it took for him to turn around in a very tight area using only thrusters and boosters to manoeuvre his way out. He studied his moves from the command deck for a while until a young captain delivers a message “ Admiral Tailwind a request from the royal champers asking for your presence”. He enters the chambers and the man with long blond hair sits behind his desk, he is the elected crown prince and a few of his advisers are standing behind him waiting for the commander. The commander bows down to the royal prince and awaits his orders. “That was impressive flying skills” the old prince states “His skills are if he was trained with our finest pilots” he adds, the prince looks around to his advisers and goes on “A pilot with such skills and an unknown space fighter should not run freely within the galaxy” The commander had a very bad feeling “Generate there projectory from there last known location. scramble one of our destroyers after them ” The commander salutes the royal prince and walks out of the room. One of the Advisers approaches the prince “Mi lord, that ship was the stolen prototype from Amaria” the Prince shouts at his advisor “I know that you fool. We have to hasten the progress of our plan”

After escaping from the Alliance battle group Big Dog and Jack Reamo are way of there course, with no fuel to reach there destination and enough canned noodles to last a life time. Jack is using the space fighter to drag the Dog Pound behind him. Jack, Big Dog and Leo talk about there next step. “What next O'Big chief” Leo shouts “rescue the universe??!!” he continues “Defeat the Raiders?!!” he goes on “Shut up or its an air lock for you” Big Dog shouts back “Let me think” Big Dog starts searching his old maps, there are no Hot Spots to jump to the next system, there are no fuel depot or space stations around the area and no inhabitant planets for millions of light years from there location. “Big Dog” Jack calls in from his space fighter “a reminder that we are still in Raiders space and Alliance are not very far behind” not replying back Jack knew that Big Dog was so annoyed from the double cross from the Alliance but he was even more worried that the Alliance had that much fire power in the region. Leos voice breaks the silence “How did you guys know that the Alliance where going to screw us back there?” Big Dog quickly replies like a computer “Alliance Space battle tactics one 'O one. When attacking a stationary object, optimum attack approach with minimum damage from enemy weapons, one to three space fighter should approach object that must be between two hundred or two hundred and eighty degrees” Jack clarifies “in other words they should face right and using seven fighters means they wanted to make sure nothing goes wrong” a minutes passes with only the humming sound of the space fighter, both space crafts had dimmed there lights trying what they can to avoid unwanted attention. “Excuse me sir, may I suggest a new rout” the soft voice of OBC startles Jack “Yes OBC please do” OBC continues showing the new rout on the display screen, she continues on to say “Silver Gateway”

Chapter 1 The Space Fighter

The Amarian King makes his way to his thrown room, followed by a few of his advisors. “My King, please do not follow through with your plan” The King gives a quick answer “ She is my daughter and I cant let stay like this doing nothing” the Advisors answers back “but my king dealing with scum bounty hunters will put us in deeper problems if the Alliance King found out” The King stops and slowly turns around to his advisors “If he finds out I will behead all of you” and continues to the thrown room. The King understand very well that the powerful Alliance King might cut ties with him and with out the support of his army the small and wealthy planet of Amaria will fall to the Mining Conglomerate. He takes a quick look at the best one hundred bounty hunters the galaxy has to offer and he quickly stated “ My daughter disappeared a few days ago in rout from earth. Who ever finds her and brings her back to me safely, he will be rewarded generasly” Goroh half Redicosh half human, a very will known and revered bounty hunter spoke out “How much your highness, your generosity might not be that generase the a good price to get your kid back” the King disgusted with the look of the half Redicosh. “ Lets say generasly is enough for you not to worry about money every again” He signaled to one of his soldiers and uncovered a few boxes filled with the famous hand crafted Amarian gold. The King turned around and quickly left the room.

Out side the palace the hunters convene one last time before blasting off in there quest the biggest pay job ever the top bounty hunter shouts out “Here is how we play it, you stay out of my way and I will not kill any of you” after all the the bounty hunters left only two remained with now ship to take them off the planet. “Jack you Idiot. How the hell you leave the ship with the active key code written on the control panel” The old man said “If you had simpler code that a normal human can remember I would not had etched the damn thing on the panel” the two bounty hunters stared at each other for a while, it was embarrassing to have your own ship stolen right from in front of you. “Okay” said Jack “Lets just stop pointing fingers and lets look for who stole our ship” The old man surprised that Jack really thinks its not his fault the ship was stolen.

They enter a usually crowded bar but tonight was nearly empty its located in the lower sector of the large Amerian Capital, they hitched a ride with an off duty guard from the castle on his way home he dropped them at this bar cause its known to be a place of outlaws and off world refugees. Big Dog goes at the bar and asks for a bottle Jake knew he had to find a way to find the ship. Jack walks up to the Bar keeper and asks him if any ones hiring the bar keeper answers “Jobs for people like you comes around, take it to the gents toilet I run a respectable business here” Jack quickly looked around the dump around him and looked back at the keeper “Very respectable” Jack answers back. Big Dogs had his share of stolen ships hence the very long complicated security activation code key that Jack could not remember and a beacon that transmits on a very low frequency but they need a ship to track it down before it gets very far. As he was sitting at the far end of the table and Big Dog passed out drunk a woman appears in front of Jack “I need a delivery man” she says “money” Jack replied, she dropped ten thousands credits on the table “deliver NOW” Jack knew with that kind of money on the table equivalent or even more trouble is there too. He takes the money follows her outside. “By any means necessary you have to deliver this disk to this address” she hands over a small optical disk. She looks around to make sure no one is looking there way, “Take this unit, it has directions and ways to contact me” she quickly walks back in the bar. In the bar she gets out a COM unit and radios in “Yes the bounty hunter has the disk he is on his way. No sir he does not suspect any thing”

Out side the bar Jack walks for a while thinking what the hell he got him self into. He spots a nice looking fast transport landing not a few feet away from him. The local drug dealer jumps out followed by his body guards into what looks like a night club. Jack walks up calmly waiting till every one is inside. He picks up a dirty fork from the floor and jams it in the identification socket causing it to malfunction and open automatically, it was not Jacks first time to transJack a transport so that was no challenge for him any way. After igniting the engines he is already in the air slowly cursing within the busy air traffic of the Amarian capital. Not long he notices a few hover cycles armed and quickly approaching him, Jack did not wait to take a better look and decides to test the limits on this high performance transport alerting Amarian police. flying down the side of a skyscraper at high speeds he understand very well that they cannot match his flying skills. Flying through underground sewage drains all he sees are flashes of exploding hover cycles of failed attempts imitating him. Navigating the busy skies of Amaria he manages to elude the last of them. He shortly arrives at his destination he lands in the old empty industrial sector a once sign of the booming economy of the wealthy planet. He hides the transport in an abandon garage and continues on foot. Armed with a small hand gun he aqua ired from the drug dealers transport he walks in an abandon factory, he takes a look at the destination described on the unit he has and it instructs to head to the supervisors office. “Hello?” he shouts out “Delivery man here” he shouts again but no response, but notices a light in the office. He walks in and finds a man tied up on the chair, he quickly heads to untie the man and takes out his gun “Whats going on, what happened to you” the man trying to catch his breath “they double crossed us RUN” then Jack heard the hissing sound of a bullet passed him into the mans chest throwing him to the floor “Do you have the disk?” the injured man moans “Yes” Jack answers back while looking where the bullet originated from “The disk contains the operating system of the new super space fighter. Do not let them get it” with his bloody hand he takes off his glasses and gives it to Jack and says “My Last vision, my death” then his hand dropped and the man died. Suddenly a rain of bullets entered from every where ripping the small office apart, Jack docked down to the floor dragged him self out. Running through the dark empty hallways with a barrage of bullets trailing him. Jumping for a windows in the second floor was not a good idea but seemed so at the time, Jack fell in a big oil tank he knew then that who ever is aiming at him is using thermal goggles to locate him. He quickly uses his temporary cover to escape.

An hour before dawn, Jack lands the transport full of bullet holes, heavily damaged and barely functioning. Quickly Jack leaves the transport and runs away towards the bar, he notices the drug dealer walking out of the night club and to his surprise he cant understand what happened to his expensive transport. Jack, covered in motor oil enters the bar and finds Big Dog just sobering up, he sits besides him and updates him on what happened. They quickly pay with credits covered in engine oil walk out. As they stand out side to think there next move, they see a gun battle between the drug dealer and the people who where after Jack earlier. “Friends of yours” Big Dog asks Jack nodes his head “You might have stumbled on some thing really important here” The two decide to find the super space fighter.

Walking down the half empty streets looking for a place to stay, Jack tells what happened from the time Big Dog passed out till now. Big Dog was amazed with how fast Jack managed to get him self in trouble “Show me the glasses” Big Dog orders Jack “What did the guy said before he kicked the bucket” Big Dog asks while trying to look through the dirty lens “some about his vision and death” Jack tells him “Its a retinal lens” Big Dog smiles as he said it “Very high tech stuff my young friend. I think I know where this fighter is” Jack was amazed with how fast Big Dog figured out every thing in a few seconds. They stopped a small calling terminal and Big Dog started running through the yellow pages on the display, then he turned to Jack and said follow me.

An hour the sun was already up but the big building and the pollution in the air successfully blocked the suns light which gave a very depressing gray color. They where now about to enter a very large storage renting facility it is used to store very big drilling equipment before shipping to off world meteor mining. Big Dog used five thousands credit from Jack to pay off the guy at the desk for quick info, the guy gives them a storage number and takes of for lunch. In front of the storage door Big Dog cleans the glasses and takes off the lens and puts them on a retinal scanner on the side of the large door. Walking inside they turn on the lights “Oh yes” Jack shouts “its just beautiful” Jack shouts on in excitement, Big Dog in the other hand knew from looking straight at it that they are way deeper in shit then they originally thought.

Turning on the system the OBC (On Board Computer) greated Jack “Good Morning, in order to have the maximum maneuverability from the UAF OBC will need thirty minutes to calibrate from beginning of flight. Please fly around safely till further instruction for upgrade” the femenen voice of the OBC then automatically ignited the engines turned on all the monitors and was ready to go. “Get in old man we have a transport to track down” Big Dog inspecting the out side hull of the space fighter before jumping in “I am getting to old for this” Jack pushed on the leavers and carefully maneuvered the space fighters out of the storage facility, with little dings and dangs all over but nothing was broken. He pushes on the throttle and try to maneuver it between the tall buildings almost hitting traffic he then descends really low to increase his speed following a river path that goes through the city After getting enough speed he pulls up again and goes between steel beams holding a very large platform upwards to the sky and getting ready to fly in space. But the OBC issued a warning “UAF cannot fly in space before it is calibrated. Please wait” the femenen voice warned “Damn” Shouted Jack “This thing handles like a brick. maneuvering will not be easy” he continues “Jack we have company” Big Dog says to Jack. Jack looks around and sees five well armed fighters surrounding them and single them to land. Jack shouts “If your not going to play nice ill spank your ass hard like the bitch you are” with all his power he pulls on the control stick pushing for maximum speed trying to get away evading several missiles in the process, he pushes the control stick hard trying to get more speed while diving down to the city below. He could barely look back and see the fighters flying behind him. Left and right between the building at high speed stopping them from getting a clear shot at him he dives in a narrow trench which holds the city power generators on its sides, he turns then in a tunnel service tunnel, the space fighter not prepared yet for this kind of aggressiveness it starts to shake vigorously making it extremely hard to handle in the tunnel. Jack looks up ahead and sees the tunnels exit while trying hard not to hit any of the walls and crash. “Calibration complete, OBC will provide optimal maneuverability controls at this time” The computer informed. The Space craft suddenly became very light, its speed increased while the shaking slowly diminish, Jack notices that the other fighters could not catch up with him and with full speed he exits the tunnel, pulls up towards the skies and out to space.
