"Yes sir, may our enemies deaths be in a flame of glory."
Koudo still didn't feel safe with his armor being in his ship still, but he had to keep it safe somewhere. Koudo placed the armor in a large cabinet after he cleared out the numerous tools within it. Feeling his armor was safe for now, he jumped back into his ship, the Fist and started the engines again.
"All system checked on the Fist boss, ready to take off.
Koudo was quite excited for his first mission with a team, he worried his performance would be faultered since he was hungry, but that needed to wait till the mission was over to be of next priority.

"Hey Boss," he said to McKnight through the comlink. "Ive got The O under control, but I'm stuck in a blizzard on Fortuna. My suggestion would be that you and Koudo come and help me get its left leg out of the ice, or you can give me a day or so to thaw it out with the thrusters and I'll meet you at the landing zone on Sauria. Up to you."

((The more sleep deprived I am, the better my post turns out. How weird.))
Fokkusu clenched his teeth while X told the story. He softly growled to himself, everything that X said was true. Epically about Fokkusu being wreck less. He practices the art of extreme overkill. Fokkusu was getting ticked off but then X said something that really pushed it.
'How dare he question my work ethics!' He thought to himself.
'They may not be squeaky clean but that gives him no right! What does he know?!?'
As X walked out of sight Fokkusu stood in place and contemplated what X had said, then he got even angrier. He pointed the blaster in the air and discharged it sending a large red beam through the sky. "AMATEUR! Who the ******** does he think I am!?!" In his fit, he completely ignored the newcomer, Rory Dagria.

As Jack set the comlink down, a quick flash of red caught his eye from the left monitor. "What the hell was that? Is this why you brought me here?" He picked the comlink up again. "Hey Boss change of plans, theres something going on here, I'm sending you and Koudo coordinates." He pulled a large lever above him and the chest armor folded down into a platform as he stepped outside dressed in heavy clothing and a think scarf. "Damn I hate the cold..." he muttered as he flew off towards the beam of light.

Henry couldn't believe that Val was just walking off into the blizzard. How could he just abandon two stranded victims, especially if he had a code of honor. The llama-loving b*****d! But all of a sudden as if in a twist of fate, he noticed that someone else had entered the scene.
Damned if his commando skills weren't rusty, because the newcomer appeared to have been listening to them and he didn't even know. He called himself Rory and seemed serious about helping them. "Yes! Yes!" Henry shouted through the winds, which seemed to be picking up a bit "My name is Henry. I need someone to help me back to my ship so I can get out of here!"

The Emerald Shield hung in low orbit around the planet Fortuna. For now, it was simply floating dead, with most systems powered down.
"Did he see us?" Johann muttered, staring at the screens in front of him. He had been trying to catch up to a bounty hunter for a while now, but unsure how to approach, he had decided to hang back a bit. Now, the bounty hunter had dropped to the planet's surface, and Johann's ship couldn't pierce the fierce blizzard that was raging below.
Perhaps he was just trying to avoid detection?
Johann shook his head absently. "No, that wouldn't make sense. Why fly into a blizzard just to avoid one ship? Something must have happened."
Reccomended course of action: Wait for the bounty hunter to emerge from the planet's atmosphere.
Johann nodded, and settled in to wait. "Come on, Mr. Dagria. I know you're down there," he murmured to himself.

 Beware..."Yeah, well I don't think we're going to do that now... I told you that peice of junk wasn't needed... Figure this one out yourself... Koudo, let's... GO!" The Dragoon took off at a usually alarming speed but surprisingly smooth. "Next stop, Sauria!" ...Metaknight has arrived

Rory was relieved to hear someone respond. He shouted through the winds.
"Hello there, Henry!"
He approached Henry, seeing him through his thermal vision goggles. He eventually got close enough to Henry so that they would not have to yell.
"Alright, I've got a system that can find spots in the blizzard where it's not so rough. All you and your companions would have to do is follow my lead. Now, I must warn you, once we exit the atmosphere, I will have to use the stealth mode on my ship. Someone has been following me for quite some time now and my guess is that they saw me coming to Fortuna. You won't be able to make contact with me by anymeans once I have entered stealth mode and neither will they."
He paused for a moment.
"You got all that?"

"Hey! Wait a second. I crash landed here. My ship needs repairs." Fokkusu said approaching Rory.
"I can't go without my ship. If your ship is not big enough to carry the Shadow Striker then I cannot come along." The Shadow Striker is a small fighter around the same size and shape of an Arwing. Fokkusu would never leave it behind.

Struggling to stay warm, Jack landed as he approached where he assumed the beam had come from. "Its not a piece of junk, I'll prove it when I come back!" he barked into the comlink on his wrist. Visibility was horrible, the snow was blotting out Solar high above and all was dark. Jack tapped the side of his visor and in an instant his vision went Thermal. He could vaguely make out two figures standing near each other, presumably talking, or possibly fighting. He couldnt tell at this distance. He moved forward, a white figure in a field of white, only his shining now-orange visor standing breaking the pattern. He was unsure of these two, and as he slowly approached he grabbed ahold of his beam saber, ready to unleash it in a heartbeat.

Rory looked over at Fokkusu, raising an eyebrow.
"Repairs, you say? Yeah, I've got some tools on my ship. If we all work on your ship together, we can get it done a lot faster. Mine's an Arwing-type. I'm assuming you've got a similar build. If that's right, then your repairs should take no time at all."
An alarming beep sounded in this earpiece. He gripped his pistols and whispered to Fokkusu and Henry.
"We've got company..."
He wheeled around, immediately locating the intruder, and aiming his pistols directly at him.
"Hold it right there, dirtbag! Move one more inch without me saying so and you'll get a few more holes in that body of yours!"

The Fist didn't have speed, but it had amazing manueverability for a ship in the heavy class. That meant it could make sharp turns, but can't keep up to faster ships.
"Slow down there boss, the Fist is made for blasting and dodging, not racing."
Koudo didn't want to strain the Fist too much for its second run. Of course he didn't want to display his new perspective on flying to his boss, Shadow too early. Koudo didn't want to seem like a rookie, but in truth he was when piloting was involved. Beside that, he was confident that his mind would grow more use to piloting the Fist.

Jack threw the beam saber directly towards the pair, its beam erupting from the handle in a blaze of green energy as it dug into the ground in front of them. The quick burst of violent green light reflecting off the snow bought enough time for Jack to front flip high into the air, out of sight, before landing behind the dog with the pistols, tapping the barrel of his rifle into his back to make him aware of his presence. "I don't believe you're in any sort of position to be ordering me around my friend."

"Mother of God's cub!" Henry yelled, turning his attention to Jack "I thought that Fortuna was uninhabited!" How could someone hostile have found them so quickly, he wondered? The only explanation was that the posse that was chasing him had followed him to the surface and tracked him across the tundra.
Thinking that Jack was part of the force that brought him to the surface in the first place, he quickly put his paws in the air. "I take it you've come for me, man?" he said facing Jack "If you just give me a chance to explain the missing money to your boss, nobody will have to get killed."

"Money?" he thought. "What is this guy talking about?"
"The boss sent me down here to collect the money you owe him, now pay up." He said, the barrel still in the dogs back.
