Prologue
As Rambo Nation and the Cognatus Empire made an agreement over studying and protecting the planet Aecor during the third month of 03 NE/06 AQF, a dangerous plan was hatched in the mind of Zevracence- a bounty hunter infamous in the Quadrant Galaxies.

Zevracence learned that the Hutters were constructing a new kind of ship, rather small but fast and agile it could fire when under cloack. Wanting such a vessel, wich could be useful for raiding and plundering he decided to steal it. Knowing that his employer, the slug like criminal master mind known as Morglûkia would never dare risk something like that, he went to Uruviel for her aid. The bounty hunter wanted the young girl for his crew because of her piloting skills. He also though of asking Ktrn- but she was to loyal to Morglûkia and he didn't want to be exposed. As such he went only with Uruviel and at the start of the fourth month of 03 NE/06 AQF they arrived at one of the space station belonging to the Hutters while travelling onboard a civilian liner. Using their smuggling friends, both Uruviel and Zevracence (-the duo) arrived at Tigma III, a planet near the destroyed Tigma IV and close to the Hutter/Rambo border. The sight amazed Uruviel, as various dry docks and a space station were in orbit of the crowded planet. The duo entered the space station and managed to steal a lone Hutter fighter and used it to land on the dock containing the experimental ship, known as a Bird of Prey.

When landed at the restricted dry dock, two Hutter security officers approached the Hutter fighter.


 * Hutter Officer: "What is the matter, you moron! This is restricted area, I should kill you for you violation."

When the shuttle door openend itself, revealing Uruviel who looked really sad and innocent the officer looked shocked, a humanoid within their restricted area!


 * Hutter Officer: "W-what is the meaning of this treachery!"
 * Zevracence: "None of your concern!"

Zevracence jumped from behind the fighter, using his stolen RN sniper rifle he shot both Hutter officers, their lifeless body dropped to the ground.

While Uruviel hacked the console, opening the door so they could access the experimental ship- Zevracence fired again at approaching security officers. When the door finally openend both Uruviel and Zevracence ran to the docking lock and entered the vessel. Closing the door behind them Uruviel started up the ship's engines and weapons and tried to force themselves free of the docking clamps, shaking the vessel.
 * Zevracence: "Hurry Uruviel, hack that terminal!"
 * Uruviel: "Aye!"

When broken free, Uruviel informed Zevracence that a D-5 and D-7 class were on intercept course. Suddenly a transmission was heard.


 * Hut'Kraang: "What are you doing? Stealing a vessel from the Hutter Kingdom? Do you really think you can escape?"

Zevracence nodded and the ship openend fire at Hut'Kraang's D-5 cruiser. Taken by surprise by it's powerful weapons, the D-5 cruiser was crippled, and they heard Hut'Kraang cursing over the intercom. Powering up their engines and cloacking device, the Bird of Prey, who Zevracence dubbed the Bounty managed to escape the intercepting D-7 cruiser and a few hours later crossed the border while evading Hutter patrols.

Zevracence sat back, relaxed and asked Uruviel to plot a course for the Quadrant 82-89 Wormhole.
