     The winds of Microtech blew snow all around the wreckage of a Banu Defender, an alien ship known to be stolen by Bounty Hunters for its unique design in craft. A man would crawl out of the wreckage, coughing heavily due to the smoke in the air. Infront of him landed a Gladius ship where a man climbed out and approached him. He wore a Death's head helmet with Inquisitor armor he wore over his Stoneskin undersuit.
     "Go ahead.. Finish me off.. but you will be running for your life.. till you die, Calico." Porter said as he laid in the snow, slowly sitting himself up against his ship. Calico would cock his Cobra hand cannon and aim it at the defenseless pilot
     "Oh Porter, I've told you many times before.. chasing me would lead you straight to your death" Calico said
     "Order and Justice must be kept in the solar system.. people like you bring only death and chaos!" Calico cackled at Porter, putting his gun back in his holster and scanning him with his MobiGlas, seeing he was running low on oxygen in his tank
     "I'd kill you now, but a quick and easy death is one you don't deserve.. Even if you call for help now.. those Jango Org slaves you work with won't reach you in time.. So suffer away.. choke to death." Calico and Porter shared one last stare down before he turns his back to the injured pilot and made his way to his own ship. The wind blew harder as a blizzard began blowing in. Porter called for backup whilst watching the bounty Hunter flee from the crash site. Porter had already placed a beacon as the two conversated, taking his chances with his crew coming to help. Porter would look up at the glimmer of the Gladius exiting the atmosphere, softly chuckling.
     "One day Calico.. you and I will meet again.. and we will settle this once and for all..."
