*in the distance a ship can be seen with 3 figures around it, the ship looks like a stereotypical alien no flying saucer with hooked blades on it so it can preform daring maneuvers that can slice open ships, the figures gathered around it are R'teska a species of nomads, Pirates, and merchants, they have 8 eyes two tendrils coming off of their back and two arms each are holding badly patched together weapons and seem to be discussing something* "I can't imagine they are here to trade in a hellhole like this, maybe I should figure out what they are discussing" *the trench coat wearing figure pressed a button on the side of his helmet zooming in on the R'teska and amplifying sound so he can hear what they are discussing, they speak in a hissing tone and don't sound friendly* [i]"why are we even here?"[/i] the first of the aliens complains [i]"our orders were clear, our target was last seen on this moon and we have been assigned to eliminate him"[/i] the leader of the group says *the leader of the R'teska holds out a holo-chip that shows the lone figures ship, a jury rigged supply carrier used for general transport and combat* *the lone figure disengages his zoom and unslings his railgun* "I've heard enough, but I want to know why these bugs are here and why they are after me..." *the figure takes aim with his railgun, firing three times. The first 2 shots rip through the helmets of the minor R'teska, blasting their heads off completely, the third shot tears through the leg of the leader sending him to the ground wounded.* "Now to go find out why they have been after me...." *upon reaching the alien ship the lone figure finds that the leader of his would be assassins is dead, it had killed itself. In one of its hands is a data-pad with a list of names of people who fought to re-take earth, the lone figures name one of the names mentioned. The lone figure takes the data pad and returns to his ship and begins broadcasting a signal on a secure channel used ten years ago, Hopeing it still works* "Hello? Can anyone here me? I'm on Europa with 3 dead assassins, they were carrying a list of names of people who served on the [i]Alamo[/i] something is going on, if you can hear this please respond"

You hear one behind you about to fire, but a gunshot goes off and kills it. Behind it is jt, wearing his iconic cloak. But it appears he is alive, and wearing a fedora Morning there Michael. I toss my fedora to the side, revealing my hair and beard, as it was tipped to hide said beard Got the transmission. Hit list?

"Perfect timing, I'm rather fond of my head remaining on my shoulders" *hands you the hit list* "I looked it over, it has the names of many of the people who fought to retake earth you, me, the admiral, everyone. Something is happening and I have a feeling these assassins are just a start"

Huh. Well then, it just so happens I have a vengeance. These bastards killed my 16 year old son recently. I need the head of this asshat

"we need to figure out who is issuing this bounty, if we check the assassins ship's guidance computer we should be able to get co-ordinates for planets these bugs have visited, after that surveillance on those planets could give us the information we need to track down whoever wants us all dead, once we are done here I'm going to return to the Alamo, it's been along time and seeing recent developments we will need to inform the admiral"

Excellent

"I'm going to head back to my ship, it's a long journey back to the Alamo and there's nothing more for us here, well aside from hypothermia"

Aye. Good luck. *launches a missile into an asteroid, blowing it into chunks to pass by the Alamo and getting a free ride*
