Attack

After we finished off the terrorists and took an image of the bosses dead body, me and Sarah then go to find a ride back o Mercenary Outpost so we can turn the mission in.

It took us a total of eight hours to find a ride and get back over to Mercenary Outpost where it was already late at night. Even though it's late, everything is still lit up brightly as all the streetlights and building lights are still going strong. It's even more so for the night clubs and whatnot.

But we ignore all the nightlife as we head toward Mission Control. We got lucky this time as the driver had let us off closer than the last driver we had. Since all the Outposts are so huge, the drivers don't have time to figure out exact locations so they just drop you off at a random location within the Outpost.

We walked for another thirty minutes before we reached Mission Control, and then proceeded all the way back to the bottom floor where we initially took the mission from. Since it's nighttime, not many people are here right now so the elevator shaft was not that packed this time around.

Once we get down to the last floor and walk over to the counter.

"Yes sir, how may I help you tonight?" The woman sitting behind the counter asks.

"I'm turning in a mission." I say as I place the flash drive like object that the machine had given me a few days ago and the device that contained the picture of the dead boss.

"Hold on a second while I confirm completion and then you shall get your reward." The woman takes both items and goes to the back room.

She returns a few minutes later with a slim card like object which I recognize as a the monetary reward.

"Here as promised. Thanks for you work!" She then bows and bids us farewell.

We walk out of Mission Control and then go check into a hotel for the rest of the night.

"ADP, we are finished on this planet. I already picked up two other missions and we will head back up in the morning. Make sure everything's ready to go!" I call ADP-01 to let him know.

"Master Zen, we currently have a situation. The station is currently on lockdown as it seems a fleet of Dominion ships broke through the Northern Defense line and is just outside the systems Space Line. It doesn't look like the government is letting anyone else know what's going on." ADP calmly reports.

"Shit, we just got caught in a war zone! Never mind the previous plans. We are on our way up now, dispatch my fighter plane to the roof of the building I'm currently in. Don't worry about the authority's, they won't be able to shoot it down." I give ADP-01 his orders while I tell Sarah to get ready to leave.

Me and Sarah immediately pack everything up and start running to the rooftop of the hotel and await the arrival of my fighter plane.

A few moments later, I see it speeding towards the roof and abruptly stop while hovering just slightly above our heads. A ladder soon falls down for us to get inside. Sara and her new pet MiMi get in first behind the pilots seat, and I follow while prepping everything inside for possible combat.

I fly the plane up and back into space and toward the space station. While I was flying, the stations military forces sent me multiple warnings and then started opening fire, but I dodged everything and made it into the hangar where the Evanescent was waiting.

Once we land in the Evanescent, we both run up into the bridge and want to see the exact situation going on out there.

We ended up looking at the holographic screen that showed around 60-70 Dominion ships slowly making their way towards this station and planet. It would take about two hours for them to arrive and engage in combat.

"Everybody, can we have your attention please!" An announcement starts playing through the station and I realize it is also playing down on the planet below.
