Before this post please read the above post to fall into the story a bit more..
The Gregis is a Duronian ship and it blazes to a small corner of the galaxy for Mission 5. Mission 5 is a bounty hunter mission with Neurok. Neurok is that Duronian who likes to capture criminals from the Jakokian armada for sport. He stands before the others with a proud stature and shoulders that could crush Jakokian skulls between his biceps.
Aboard the Gregis are Duronians, and they emanate baby blue light from their exoskeleton bodies. They are comprised of their floating torsos with a very draconian appearance. Neurok a bounty hunter boards the ship.
"On the map they are two sectors down," Neurok snaps.
Aris the ships captain who appears as a being of light flickers in the ether. "You've been through this before. Find their leader and take Agnor with you as he has been repaired from the previous mission," Aris replies. "I'll bring you their head!" said Neurok. "I suppose you will, you have to excuse him, as he is so barbaric at times," said Agnor. "Head out now the shuttle is down at the bay," said Aris.
Agnor had a nice normal day until he was dragged aboard the shuttle for Mission 5. They board the shuttle and depart from the bay dock.
"Well, I just thought... maybe... it was... something to do...with you not appreciating Jakokians," Agnor explains. Agnor sips his drink through his pursed lips. At that moment, a giant behemoth arm swings around and knocks Agnor back into his seat.
"You don't ask questions about what I appreciate onboard this ship," Neurok replies sharply. Agnor struggles in his chair for balance. A ship drops into the sector read out. "That's them there," said Agnor. "I am moving in be sure to control the cannons," Neurok replies. At that moment BOOM!
The ship is hit. "We are being followed, its Jakokian allies," said Agnor. "They are about as worrisome as a cloudy day, watch this, said Neurok."
Neurok rises up and flips two switches up. "A pulse net shall do them justice," said Neurok. A pulse net is deployed the enemy ship is torn apart by the pulse net that vibrates creating intense damage. "Where did the other ship go," said Agnor.
"No where to be found in this sector that's for sure," replies Neurok.
"I will emulate a Jakokian distress signal. That will bring them into our trap," said Agnor. A bomb comes into their view and rises above the ship.
