Hawk had returned and they cuffed the person and put him against the wall.

The rest looked at him and analyzed the person.

He was wearing a black suit and helmet. It was made of material that would make it easier for the person who wears it to move. The two blades layed on the ground next to Hawk.

‘Narcotic handcuffs,’ Djon said while keeping his attention to the person.

‘It paralyzes the entire body to make sure a prisoner won’t do anything.’

Veronica took a step closer and looked at the person.

‘Who are you?’ she asked, trying to sound intimidating but the person didn’t respond.

‘Allow me,’ Hawk said, who recognized the helmet and walked to the person.

Underneath the chin was a button that would open the helmet.

He pushed it and in a matter of seconds, the helmet opened and folded itself away until it was gone.

What they saw was not what they expected.

The person was a woman.

She had long green hair with smooth skin which had a little darker tone.

Her ears were a little pointy, filled with jewelry.

Hawk and Djon looked at her and were amazed by her beauty.

She smiled at them, knowing that some losers would quickly fall for her charms.

‘These handcuffs are really tight. Do I have to wear them?’ she asked with a charming voice to Hawk who looked like he almost agreed with her.

‘Wait a minute,’ Veronica said and she pulled Hawk back as she pulled his ear.

‘She attacked you,’ she said and Hawk shook his head, as if he needed to be reminded she was indeed the enemy.

Eto stepped in and the girl looked at him with much interest.

Everybody stayed quiet and looked at how the girl looked at Eto.

‘What is going on?’ Hawk asked and Djon stepped in, kneeling next to the girl.

‘Tell us Miss. What are you after?’ he asked.

His teeth were not showing when he looked at her but the big horn on his head and small one on his chin looked intimidating.

The girl looked at him but said nothing. Instead she laughed at him.

‘Nothing to say? Fine, ' Djon said and he stood up.

The author's tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

He grabbed one of his rifles and it made a sound as it was being prepared to be fired.

Hawk tried to jump in to stop him but Djon, as the creature that he was, was too big for him to move. Luckily, he didn’t fire but said something.

‘Hawk. Tell our little friend to scan where her ship is. There is bound to be some info there.’

The laugh on the girl's face disappeared and she looked serious.

Eto couldn’t help but notice something on the girl.

He kneeled before her and studied her face.

She looked at Eto, feeling awkward as he stared at her.

After looking for a few seconds, he was sure of what he saw.

‘She is a star shard user,’ he said and everyone turned to him to look.

Eto pointed towards her left eye. What at first seemed like little marks underneath it, you could see that it was little pieces of star shard stuck in her skin. Almost cosmetic.

‘Now I’m sure I want to find her ship,’ Djon said, who still was pointing his rifle.

Hawk grabbed hold of the girl and walked her towards their ship, as Veronica kept her eye on him in case he got charmed again.

‘Who are you?’ Eto asked who walked besides the girl and looked at her.

She turned her head towards him but said nothing. She just kept looking at him.

‘TYO, run a diagnostic. See if you can find some working ships on this wreck,’ Djon said on his transponder.

After a while, TYO responded.

‘There are a few minor escape pods to the south of the wreck. The only ship that is still functionable is located to the west. I’m sending the coordinates now.’

‘Good,’ Djon said. ‘You are coming with us,’ Djon said through the transponder.

‘What?’ TYO yelled but there was no point in arguing.

They worked their way through the wreckage until they found a small ship docked at an open space.

‘Wait here,’ Djon said and he pulled his second rifle. He nodded that TYO should come with him.

Slowly, Djon walked to the ship with TYO riding next to him.

They checked the entrance for any traps but they found nothing. Djon wanted to open the door but it was stuck.

‘Can you open it?’ he asked TYO and he was already scanning the ship.

‘With a little help?’ TYO said and Djon nodded towards Hawk who quickly walked to them. Veronica took over the prisoner.

When she held the woman, she could see her skin vibrate, as she was constantly stung to stay paralyzed.

Eto stayed by her side as Hawk worked his way through the door with TYO. Soon the door opened and they entered the ship.

Hawk looked around. It was a small ship for short distance travels. A lot of cloaking devices were inserted and instead of basic necessities, there were a lot of weapons.

‘TYO, check the communicator and the harddrive. See if you can find out who our pretty lady is,’ Hawk said.

TYO drove to the controls, mumbling something about humans getting carried away quickly in the presence of a beautiful woman.

He started inserting his hand into the main computer and worked through the files.

After a while, TYO said what he had found.

‘Mostly travel logs. No real information has been kept about her. She really wanted to make sure no traces were left.’

TYO kept searching until he found a message.

‘Here,’ he said and he opened the hologram transporter.

Before them, captain Hanzou appeared, as a hologram.

‘The famous assassin, Morning Python. I hear you are in great debt by Generation Zero but I have a job for you that would erase everything, if you do well. Most likely, a target will come into your area. We placed a tracker on their ship as we crossed them near Etoile. No doubt they traveled fast after our encounter on Green point but I guess this is your chance to prove yourself. Find the ship and locate the target. Bring him to me alive.’

After that, the hologram of captain Hanzou disappeared and a hologram of Eto was shown. Quickly after, the message stopped and the hologram disappeared.

‘She is an assassin,’ Hawk said softly.

‘Named Morning Python,’ Djon said.

‘Who is going after Eto!’ TYO almost yelled in fear.
