Road to Nowhere (Video)

ROAD TO NOWHERE (FIRST CONTACT)

Eric & Dmitri are back in Sirius Sector tracking lost cargo for an important (and well-paying) client. Following the cargo container's hyperspace transponder signal leads them to a remote desert on a low-tech world where they are now.

Eric examines the hyperspatial tracker's read-out, "Looks like the automated transport ship the container was on went down somewhere out here," he looks up at Dmitri who looks back at him, "The transponder signal is moving but really slow, speed consistent with a ground vehicle, something local."

Dmitri smirks, "Native found it?"

Eric nods, "Yeah, prolly," he reads the display on the bulky hand-held hyperspatial tracker that the client provided and links the output signal to the Akuma Maru's 悪魔丸 nav-com system, "Looks to be a single small ground vehicle and there are no big population centers nearby. No other movement in the general area. Let's go grab the cargo before he gets somewhere with it!" Eric grins.

Dmitri plots an intercept course from the coordinates that Eric fed into the nav-com and the system brings up the location of the primitive native transport traveling a lonely isolated road on the ship's target display.

"We've got company!" declares Dmitri as another blip appears on the ship's display and the Akuma Maru 悪魔丸 approaches the slow-moving vehicle from beyond the local planetary horizon.

Eric snarls, "Shit! Looks like one of Kalen's agents - he's firing on the poor guy!"

"Shit is right!" Dmitri chuckles as he maneuvers their larger ship in rapid pursuit at low altitude, "That poor native is probably crapping himself right now!"

Eric nods, "Yeah, this planet is pre-stellar - uncontacted. So, I guess this counts as first contact - at least for him!"
