Apparently, the first leg of the trip will involve just flying to the outskirts of the cluster. This will take about three days, if the calculations are correct. The fourth day will be spent receiving new transmissions from the lead escort destroyer heading through the cluster and relaying from the control in the center of the area. Then the last moments will be spent in the sensor net before going into the complex proper. Four responds as you are compiling the message to Derek. "Well, I'd much prefer if we didn't have to come up with our own way out. I do however think we should come up with a backup plan if Ears is compromised while we are on mission. I'll try to keep an eye on those transmissions. I'm guessing that someone else is going to be wanting those coordinates, but the explosives don't make sense. That is unless.. Hold on."Four doesn't continue for some time. Your current access tells you however that the ship is almost ready for lift off. A communication between the freighter captain and the Star Destroyer commander has begun again. "Commander, this is the Nerevar. We're clear for egress.""Copy, Nerevar. Coordinates have been successfully downloaded. Once you achieve orbit, prepare to release control to remote system.""Will do, Commander. Anything else?""No. Just do as you're told.""As you wish."The transmission ends and then ground control is contacted. X determines that this is the best time to send its burst to Derek. "Control, this is Nerevar. We have launch confirmation. Prepare to release magnetics.""Roger, Nerevar. Weather favorabl....<static>. Out.""Say again, Control. We lost you there.""Condition green, you're good to go.""Copy Control. Nerevar out."X feels the ship lurch as the magnetic clamps that hold the ship down while the repulsors fire are released. The external vid-feeds show the landing pad clear of any debris that may have remained after the brief firefight with the prisoner-slaves. The clamps have retreated into their housing and the ship begins to slowly rise. You can also feel the valves and hatches to the outside closing and sealing while the life-support system starts to switch over to internal air. Going through the various monitors, you can see the entirety of the ship, all save for directly behind the engines. This would seem like a prime spot to hide, except for the engine wash. There are some spots though that, unless someone with extremely acute sense were watching, they would miss anything smaller than say, a fighter, that might happen to be lurking there. As it is, all the X can see outside the ship is the slowly vanishing clouds and the darkness of space. Just in the distance, a speck of light slowly becomes triangle shaped. This must be one of the Star Destroyers Derek mentioned. The other must have already gone ahead. Four finally sends another message. "No turning back now."***Derek watches as the freighter lifts off from the surface of Hurven Seven, confirming its trajectory with the information that DRK-1X had sent him in a brief burst. Not too far from the freighter is one of the Star Destroyers, the other having already left. [sblock=OOC] Four days total, the first leg is the longest, the rest will be micro jumps through the cluster. Oh and 300 XP. [/sblock]</blockquote>
