Opening
A back alley of the spaceport. You could feel an Imperial patrol ship closing in. Just as you thought there was nowhere left to run, the wall opened. @Kisugi Ryo: "Get in. Hurry." You were pulled inside a dim cargo ship. A man took the controls, and the ship slid quietly out into space. @Kisugi Ryo: "Kain Astra. Captain, Seventh Fleet of the Rebel Army." He turned around only after liftoff. Silver hair, and sharp eyes that hid their weariness. @Kisugi Ryo: "Taking a civilian aboard is against regulations. But I couldn't bring myself to leave you there." @you: "Where are we going?" @Kisugi Ryo: "For now, somewhere safe. After that, you can decide."
