-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.

-Ames Research Station-
The Sequoia is outside Ames Research Station, and a battle is brewing. Janson is sitting in his cockpit, anticipating the battle, nervously doing his preflight checks, and awaiting the order to launch. Finally, Admiral Cravic sends the order out, "All fighters and bomber, launch, and good luck."
Every ship slowly float up and orderly launches from the Sequoia. Janson follows out right behind Cravic. Cravic enters Janson's comm, "Follow me as my wing for this battle. You should do just fine." "Yessir." The fighters lead the formation, flying as a cover for the bombers. Kusari fighters and bombers launch from their cruiser as well, and also keep their fighters and interceptors ahead of the bombers. Both formations, Liberty and Kusari, meet in the middle, somewhere over Ames, and noise fills the comm.
"Liberty-5 hit!"
"Hey, I got one!"
"Ah! Liberty Bomber-32 here, can someone get this-*explosion*"
"Hey Liberty-32 what do you need? Liberty-32?"
Cravic, followed closesly by Janson dived below the formation, and came around behind. "Alright, Janson, lets take out a few of these bombers."
"Sounds like fun, sir."
The pair managed to shoot a few down before they were intercepted by Kusari craft. As they made their escape, Janson gets seperated from Cravic, and a Kusari Interceptor follows him, getting a hit behind his cockpit and ejecting him out, where he waits out the battle. Cravic managed to get around his pursuer and shot him down, and the battle was over, but the victor is still to be decided.

Admiral Cravic looked over the combat reports in dissmay. Kusari were gaining in strength day by day and he was begining to think that Rhienland had never intended to be neutral in the war, the peace talks were just to divert suspision away from them while they prepared themselves. To add to that the fuel shortages had started to hit again. Rhienland was restricting the movement of all HFuel across it's borders.
The fact that it hadn't been cut off entirely was actualy quite a surprise to Cravic. It seemed that Universal had made a deal with Rhienland and Kusari to protect it's interests and they were still trading with them. The most obvious conclusion was that they were bribing them. From government supported financial wreck to a booming corporation with an apendige in every proverbial pie within reach in very short order. The Navy even owed them money for services related to supplying bases.
If Kusari gets a foothold inside Colorado then it will look bad for us, thought Cravic. We have one chance to push them back by assulting Ames and I don't intend to let it slip from my grasp.

"... I guess we'll set you up on patrol here for now, as we will need as many soldiers as we can get. Until we reach the next system though you have free roam of the ship. We'll set you up in a patrol as soon as possible."
"Yessir."
Janson heads to his assigned quarters, and nervously fiddles around with his old logs, writes another log, fiddles some more, and finally tries to sleep. Failing this he simply heads back up to the bridge to watch the Seqoia's progress.

-Aboard the Sequoia-
"...but that means fighting you're own people. If I did have you transfered would you fight just like any of my other men?"
He sat there and thought it over this for a bit. Janson couldn't help but find logical arguments for each side, although he wouldn't mind fighting Rhinelanders.
"Well, sir, it's really up to where I'm needed. In some ways I would prefer the Kusari front, to avoid fightin home, yet I wouldn't show them any mercy, after all they betrayed me first, and I know much of Rhineland space as well, yet i may also be better able to serve on the Kusari front because good pilots are needed tehre as well."
"A valid argument."
Cravic is still a bit unsure to where Janson stands on the issue and asks, "So, What do you plan on doing by server Liberty and what do you plan on doing after the war?"
"Well. Why I'm here is because Rhineland should have joined Liberty in the first place, but didn't, so I'll fight on the right side. After the war? Depends. If we manage to put Rhineland in its place I may move back there. In the case that doesn't happen though, my home's in Liberty."
Now sure that Janson is really all for Liberty, Cravic says, ""Alright then I think well assign you at..."
(\\Although for this RP i think id like to be in the action with the Admiral, idc either way)
