*A transport carrying Harkin and his group from Frionia is under fire by Corrorian starfighters.*
"This is not going to be a pleasant flight."
*From the cockpit you see a large group of fighters all firing at the transport followed by many explosions rocking the ship. An alarm goes off, Harkin presses a button and it stops.*
"Blasted computer, yes... Take all energy from the weapon systems and put it into the shields."
*You notice a slight blue transparent energy shell appear around the ship. All lasers which hit the shield cause it to flash, you wonder how long it is going to last.*
"More fighters?"
*To the left, you see yet another squadron of fighters incoming to attack the transport. On Harkin's console you see one large green dot in the center with many swarming red dots around it. After about half a minute the blue shield is beginning to fade away.*
"No, hold up just a little longer..."
*You see the shield glow brightly for a moment and then disappear entirely! Once again you are feeling numerous explosions rock the ship, things really don't seem too good...*
"Computer, recharge the capacitor and prepare to re-engage the shields."
The computer replies, "Capacitor is offline, unable to comply."
"No, and more fighters are coming..."
*You look ahead and notice a very large fleet of ships incoming. They seem different however...
After obtaining a better look at the ships, you notice that they are the same ones which attacked the hovercruiser earlier! This is a Karloronian swarm... They open fire, but this time not just at the transport!*
"Since when have I ever been glad to see a Karloron swarm?"
*Suddenly all the fighters cease fire at the transport and engage the Karlorons who, as well, engage the Corrorians.*
"Computer, can the capacitor be repaired?"
The computer replies, "Yes."
Harkin replies in a sarcastic tone, "Well then, repair it!"
********************************************
*All around you, you see explosions and fire in every direction with ships mangled in numerous dogfights all around the transport. It is almost eerie, not ever being in space before you wouldn't expect such silence even during such an intense battle.*
The computer says, "Capacitor back online."
Harkin replies in yet another sarcastic tone, "Ok, since you like to take things one step at a time... Use the capacitor - which by the way, you just repaired - and crank up the hyperdrive."
"Destination?"
"Anywhere, I don't care. Away from these ships is all I ask."
********************************************
*After a little bit, you hear a pulsating noise start humming within the ship, rapidly increasing in pitch. You then see the stars in front of the cockpit streak into thousands of lines and, without even feeling any increased movement, you are propelled through space at an unimaginable speed away from the fighters.*
