William sat in his chair as his ship warped through space. Normal a ship the size of his wouldn't be able to preform such a long jump, but luckily for him he mad a few modifications. At first it started out as an old small cargo ship that he permanently "borrowed" from some space junkies. After a while of collecting parts however he was able to give it a few upgrades. He was able to give it some modified galra weapons as well and a small galra cruiser engine he made, which allowed him to make the long jumps. He also made some additions by adding a living quarters so he could have a place to stay while on long trips. It wasn't the coolest looking ship, it might be mistaken for a price of junk, but it sure could handle its self.
As William sat there he began to wonder what he might haul out of this ship wreck, the message said prince lotor meaning this ship probably had a bunch of high tech equipment. He decided to turn on auto pilot as he go up to check his gear ready. He walked over going down the ladder that lead to the large cargo hold of the ship. He walked over to a large locker with a digital lock. After punching in the code the locker opened revealing a large variety of different weapons. Most were galra but others were made by William from any spare parts he hade. He was glad he learned how to make and design weapons at a young age. He reached up and grabbed two energy pistols, a plasma rifle, a few energy grenades, and a few ammo clips. Sure most of these wrecked ships were abandoned with no survivors, but you can't be too careful especially with the galra.

"Alright I should be good now. Oh-wait almost forgot my helmet" he said, as he reached down and opened a small box. Inside was a grey helmet with a blue visor, it looked like a modified galra helmet mixed with a sentry head. He put on the helmet and as the screen turned on, the blue visor began to glow. As he closed the locker, he got a notification on his screen. He was almost at the location, he got excited as he rushed up and sat in the pilots seat.

"Alright, payday here I come" he said as he took control of the ship.

Meanwhile...

(This is after lotor attacks narti and leaves his ship with the others)

Out at the location of lotor's ship where multiple galra fleet ships were attacking his. But it didn't matter, he and his other generals had abandoned that ship. But one was left behind, left for dead by the hands of lotor. As kova sat there looking at narti lay there, he slowly crawled up and nudged his head against her arm. As the ship began to shake from the constant attack, kova sat there wait for narti to get up. To his luck narti began to move, as she began to get up she winced in pain as blue blood began to drip from her wound. However she pushed through the pain and stood up, a little shaky but standing. As she looked down at where kova was looking at her, she saw the large gash wound that was across her stomach. If it wasn't for her suits armor she might be dead. The ship began to shake violently as the alarms began to go off, narti almost fell but she stood her ground. As she picked up kova and made her way to the escape pods, leaving a trail of blue blood on the floor of the ship's halls. After a while of walking, narti began to feel weak, as she lost a lot of blood her vision even though through kova's eyes grew hazy. She eventually made it to the escape pods and to her luck there was only one left. As she rushed over to the pod an explosion happened behind her, launching her and kova forward landing on the floor of the escape pod. The doors closed just in time, as narti got back up and made her way to the controls launching the pod. As the pod entered space, narti could see the galra fleet leaving. All she had to do was pilot the pod to the nearest planet, but before she could she collapsed onto the floor her view of the would disappearing as her connection with kova began to fade. This was it after all that struggle, she was still going to die.

*...someone...anyone...please help me...*

Meanwhile...

As William exited the warp he saw the galra ships leaving, but the was one ship that had his name on it. Lotor's personal ship, all for the taking, today he was going to make more money than he'd ever made before. As he flew closer to the ships wreckage, he began to feel light headed as he heard some kind of voice.

*...someone...anyone...please help me...*

The voice sounded soft and sweet, but full of fear and sadness. He quickly felt his light headed ness leave him, as he looked around the area as to what that was. All he saw were the broken pieces of a ship, normally he would ignore something like this and get to work. But there was something about that voice that made him stop, he turned over to his dashboard and activated the scanner searching for any bio readings. To his surprise the were two, both in the same location, one seemed to be a small creature while the other seemed to be a possible crew member. Going against his greed and desire, he flew his ship through the wreckage to the bio readings. After a bit of flying he soon saw a lown escape pod, as he flew closer he opened the cargo doors so he could get the pod inside. Once it was inside he sealed the cargo bay and went down to check it out, when he got down he realized that it was a galra escape pod. This meant that a galra was in there, William reached over and grabbed on of his pistols as he slowly approached the ship. Using the galra tech he collected, he opened the pods door and aimed his gun ready to fire. The only problem was he didn't see any solider, he just saw a weird alien cat.

"Hm, well you must be the small creature I picked up on the scan, but where's the other o-" he stopped talking when he saw the supposed galra soldier on the floor with a pool of blue blood. He dropped his pistol as he rushed over to the wounded alien. When he flipped them over, he saw a large gash alone their stomach, William also noticed the strange uniform of this soldier and that it was a female. He picked her up bridal still as he rushed her out of the pod. As he went up the ladder the cat seemed to follow, as it jumped from one bare to the next. William didn't pay much attention though, as he reached the top and took the wounded girl to the medical bay he had. "Glarnic you better hope this equipment works or else your in big trouble" he said as he laid the girl down, the motion causing her hood to fall revealing her face and odd features. William was taken aback by the strange appearance, but regained focus as he activated the machine. To his relief it worked, he let out a sigh as the machine scanned the wounded girl. It looked like she was cut through her armor but luckily nothing vital was hit. He turned of the monitor as pulled a few tools out. Using a laser cuter to remove the armor in the area of the wound, once that was done he began to get to work on cleaning and sealing the wound. All the while the strange cat just sat there and watched as William tried to save this aliens life.

1 hour later...

"Few, that was a close one. Any later and I might have not been able to save her." William said as he wiped his hands clean, the white cloth now covered in blue blood. As he tossed the cloth in the trash he sat down to catch his breath.

'Good thing I took those medical classes back on earth, with out those I would probably have a dead body in my ship' he thought as he closed his eyes to relax. As he sat there though, he felt something jump up onto his lap. As he opened his eyes, he saw the strange cat from before sitting in front of him. It seemed friendly enough so he decided to pet it, almost instantly the cat pushed its head into his hand. William began to feel at ease as he felt his hand go over the felines soft furry head. After a bit though he noticed the cat looking over at the med bay.

"That must be your owner, is that right little guy?" The cat purred into his hand as he continued to pet them. "Well don't worry she'll be fine, a bit of rest and she'll be up in no time. But for now I should probably get us to se nearest traders post and see if I can get anything for that pod, and maybe pick up a few supplies." He then got up and walked over to the pilots seat, while the cat walked back into the med bay resting by they're owner. William yawned as he began to plot a course for the nearest traders post, it was going to be a long trip so hopefully nothing to crazy would happen.
