-Hours later, Nuremburg System-

A small flight of six Liberty fighters enter the system from the Sigma hole, and begin to patrol.

Cravic speaks first, ”We need to check these coordinates in the MOX cloud, we have reports of Rhinelanders using a small base to get this fuel. Uploading coordinates now.”
The small group heads off. Nearing the cloud, Cravic and Janson speed ahead and enter the cloud, while the other three race to catch up. Unknown to the group, they are being watched.
”Uh, Krait-1, what are they doing?”
”I honestly dont know Krait-4, lets follow them in, but keep at distance.”

This exchange was unheard by the three traitors, who were to busy trying to find their targets.
”Cobra-2 here, any idea where they got Lead?”
”No idea, but I have a bad feeling that they know what were doing here... we'd better head out fast.”
But it was too late for them. As soon as Cravic and Janson entered the cloud, they hid behind some debis, and had been following the traitorous group and now opened fire. It wast't long before they were destroyed, minus the LPI agent.
”Well i guess that's that Janson. Seemed too easy though.” says Cravic.
"I agree” replies the LPI agent, ”but then, this group may have thought we would be easy to kill ourselves.” Just after he says this, they are suddenly surrounded by 15 civillian class Cobra, Krait, and Mamba fighters.
”Then again, maybe that wasnt so easy.” Says Janson. ”If you ask me now would be a good time to surrender or run.”
A new voice enters the comms. ”You will do nothering of the sort. Tell us why you are here, killing yourselves.”
Cravic takes over the conversation saying, ”Well I think avoiding assassination about covers it, why?”
”No” the new voice replies, ”Let Janson answer.”
Janson gawks for a moment, ”Uh... yea what the Admiral said.”
”Good”, the voice replies, ”You may head off then.” All the fighters leave as quickly as they appeared.
”Well, I need to get back and report your 'death'.” The LPI agent disappears into the cloud.
”I need to head back myself, Janson”, says Cravic, ”Good luck.” Cravic has almost left into the mist before he stops. ”And Janson.”
”Yes, Sir?”
”Do you know who that was?”
”Not a clue, Sir.” Cravic then continues on his way, wondering about that unknown voice, leaving Janson alone, hoping Cravic would never know who that voice belonged to. Janson then opens his comm, ”I would like to join you.”
A few minutes pass by before a Junker comes up to his ship.
”Very well, then”, says the unknown voice, ”Follow me. It's good to see you again, brother.”

-Janson's Cabin, Aboard the Sequoia, Kepler System-

Janson is tinkering with a few electronic parts as the door opens and Admiral Cravic walks in.
"Sir!" Janson says, quickly standing and saluting.
"At ease, Lieutenant." Cravic pulls out a bug scanning device and sweeps the room. "This is unofficial, and must be quick."
Janson, far from being at ease, lowers his arm. "Whats wrong, Admiral?"
Cravic, finally finished scanning sets his device back in his pocket. "Well , I have reports that you'll soon be avoiding another assassination attempt, although your not the only one."
"What?" Janson says, bewildered. "Who from Rhineland even knows I'm alive let alone here?"
"Actually, Janson, as far as we are aware it will come from the LPI" Cravic states. "Fortunately for you, we have a loyal LPI agent with the group."
Janson gawks for a moment before recovering. "Well. When will it happen? What's the plan?"
"Well, we believe the attempt will occur on the patrol we will be sending you on, although you havn't gotten those orders yet. You will be near Rhineland. The LPI agent has told us that no one in the group is really aware of who is leading them, and I will pretend to take that place, and once we get into some dense cloud or other, we will destroy the group, leaving the LPI agent to report your 'death'." Cravic starts to leave.
Janson thinks over this a moment. "Sounds good, except that we dont know if they will follow me during this patrol."
Looking over his shoulder Cravic answers, "They will. I will be ordering them to accompany you." The door closes.
