Synopsis

The funny thing about secret missions is that there's no clear-cut way to complete them. That is on DarkZero's mind when he leaves his temporary quarters on the last day of Mani Station. The other sad truth is that he's not going to be able to hold his promise to keep Dispatcher Jennings and his children safe. Not liking that one bit, Zero comes up with a way to make everything good. You know, as long as he doesn't get arrested for destroying a part of the station. After that last fiasco, DarkZero barely makes it in time for his last training mission. Thankfully, it's a simple milk run to Vanquisher Base. How hard can that be after everything he's faced up until now? It should be an easy feather in his high-octane, successful cap. Also, after a quick talk with his guildmates that morning, he learns that he's basically on what's called a Mercenary Auxiliary track. As DarkZero's luck would have it, the milk run turns out to be a bit more complicated. Captain Stick shows up unexpectedly to get revenge on our valiant hero, and the Bone Breaker proves he's not yet out of the fight. Sadly, it seems that everyone who hates him is set on chasing him out of the system. It's going to take a lot of quick talking and good flying to save his ass. If he does it right, he'll earn a nice reward for himself and his guild at the end. If he doesn't, he could possibly lose everything he's earned up until now throughout the entire training mission.
