The dust had settled on the canopy of the gun ship,Latona was hot, uncomfortably hot, Alex moved her head and shoulders feeling the straps of the pilot's seat dig into her chest and shoulders. Alex's eye's started to open slowly she raised her head slowly to see the sun beating down into the cockpit before the scattered sound of gun fire snapped her out of her trance "Fly girl, Wake the fuck up" a voice rang in her head as Alex to her side "Max?" Alex muttered and nudged the lifeless body of her co pilot before the sounds of lasbolts hitting the hull rang out, what was left the mercenaries she was transporting had all but left the gunship, leaving her there for the Drakus to find with the rest of the dead air crew.
Alex groaned, a sudden pain shot through her body as she tried to pull off the harness straps Alex rolled out of the pilot's seat and landed on her hands and knees as she pulled of the flight helmet and chucked it aside Alex pushed herself to her feet and hobbled out of the gun ship making off down the road into the city they had crashed in, Alex managed to avoid the guards and soldiers that now hunted the mercs that had survived she darted down a dark ally as night began to fall she knew there was no chance of a rescue now.
Alex slumped on a wall and slide down behind a dumpster she undid her flight jacket and pulled if off. Alex pulled up her shirt over her stomach and ran her hand over the bruising that had begun to show, the pain was agonising before she pulled her shirt back down and tired to steady her breathing before the door infront of her unlocked and opened Alex drew her pistol and pointed it at the assailant before they came out of the door.

I sat in the dark house and went over all my information I had gathered earlier that day. I was stationed on my home planet on a solitary mission to gather as much information as I could about the plans the Drakus had. It had been a difficult 5 earth years, i had to use every bit of my training not to be caught or even suspected. I chose a small house in the middle of the city to be my base for the moment until anyone found out there was a spy around.
I sighed and made a cup of tea to drink while i monitored the radio traffic over the planet, both Drakus military and normal Latonan stations. I had heard of the shot down ship earlier and I had been trying to find out more on the people that had been killed and whose side they were on but nothing had been reported since the initial crash and that some had escaped. "Meow?" I heard and looked down at one of the stray cats that shared my abandoned home. "Alright I'll take you out" I replied and grabbed my gun and headed to the side door leading to the alley and opened the door slowly and just enough to let it through. I suddenly heard and body shift and the metallic sound of a gun on the other side and kept my gun high as i opened the door wider and aimed myself at the person. I held my breath taking in the injured person in front of me and looked them over before classifying them as Higaren and lowered my weapon slowly before looking around for any Drakus. "Hurry up and come in. They are looking for you everywhere" I told the women.

I shut and bolted the door once the women had come in and put away by gun. Once I saw her col laps I quickly picked her up gently and took her to the other room and placed her onto the lounge. I left her there while I grabbed my medical kit and other things that would help to heal someone quicker. I came back to the room and placed it on a near by table before grabbing a small stool to sit on and started to fix her up. I crushed up two pills, one for the pain and the other to speed up the healing of the brakes and inner bleeding. I placed the powder into a cup of water and stirred it to dissolve. "Here drink this. It'll help for the pain and speed up healing on the inside" I told her and helped her to drink before going to work on

Alex grabbed the glass and drank it and dropped the glass holding her side Alex cough "Where am I" Alex said in her quietly calm voice as she tried to figure out who the person helping her was "Why are you helping me" Alex asked and tried to focus her eyes to look at the person

I looked at her after the pain killer part of the drink kicked in and smiled slightly at her. "Your on Latona" I joked slightly. "Your quite far from your crash site, how you got this far in your condition is unknown to me but it's fortunate" I added and cleaned some of the blood off of her before continuing to heal her wounds. "I'm Major Hayley Riddle. I'm helping because we are on the same side" I told her.

"Side? in the war?" Alex coughed "But you're Latonan" Alex said and looked at the woman "I thought the Latonan;s hated us" Alex said and coughed alittle more as she held her side "Gods, this hurts" Alex groaned quietly trying to put on a brave face and she squirmed and tunred her head to the side alittle

"Popular misconception. Latonans as a whole besides myself are actually peaceful race. Since they choose not to help anyone people believe we hate everyone but it's the opposite, we can't hate" I told her and smiled. "Plus I'm a defective Latonan, no idea how but i actually want to fight" I told her. "Don't worry the pills should kick in more soon".

It ook Alex a few days to recover enough to stand. Alex sat on the side on the lounger and held her left arm out infront of her and taped her wrist with her right hand, A holographic screen covered her forearm as another emitted itself just above her arm Alex used her left hand to browse through the menus on her holo emitter trying to find a way off Latona Knowing she could hid here for ever and endanger her rescuer.

I helped the girl for the next couple of days, I had found out her name was Alex and as we got to know each other while hiding away I continued my mission and monitored the radio waves. I also kept an ear out for anything to do with the people that she crashed with. I walked back into the room with a cup of tea in both my hands and sat down in the lounge room. "Here you go" I said and passed her one of the cups. "hows it looking?" I asked looking at the holoscreen.

"Red Star Corp Fleet was defeated in orbit, The Drakus have some fancy new weapons, Elcor Industries is sending an infiltration team to take them out be they dont know how to get on the planet till the Anti air guns are down" Alex said and sighed "Same things that shot me down" Alex said and held her side, the pain was still ther ebut it was no where near as painful.

"Give me a couple of days and I can get them down. I haven't just been sitting on my ass for 5 earth years listening to radio traffic" I stated and sipped my drink. "I had been waiting for orders from above before i did anything down here" I added. "I've heard bits and pieces about some of the other survivors from your crash. they are still in hiding so i should assume that they are hurt to".

"Left me to die" Alex said to herself as she switched her holo emitters off and smiled. "Yeah well...I need to find a way off this rock" Alex said and rubbed her side and frowned

"they probably thought you were dead" I replied in thought. "I'd give you my ship but I'm gonna need it for a quick getaway if i need to" I said and continued to think. "Once your well enough, I could knock out the guns and then get you into the holding bays were the other ships are." I thought out loud.
