As the exterior comes into view, you can tell that the
S.S. Monte Hue is floating in mid-space while cargo transports
are departing from the ship's outer hull doors. The engines begin
their eternal pull against the coldness of space, propelling the
ship into the active Gravitron Ring. As the ship is slung through
the vast, dark plain, the captain reveals that the plan for this
mission is to head to the border of the Cassandra Nebula, punch a
hole in the pirate's solar blockade shielding, meet up with
another Gravitron Ring that is escorted by a heavily armored
Solar Tug, and proceed on towards the colony on Mercury 7.
Identified as The Midway Runner Project, it is hoped that this
operation is the key to keeping supply lines open, despite the
enemies use of system wide shielding.
Seconds later, the ship emerges back into sight from the
high speed journey through the light tunnel, only to find rubble
where the meeting point was scheduled to be. Both the shield and
the nebula are wrecking havoc on long range scanners, keeping
them from sensing any nearby craft. And turning an otherwise easy
operation into just another life-or-death mission.
