"Anise, hook up to the docking station, we need to drop off Harold, Sik, and Aaron." Said Gordon. "Right away." Said Anise as the ship hooked up to the station. Harold, Sik, and Aaron walked off the ship as it flew away. "How will we know if they come back for us?" Asked Harold. "We won't but I trust him enough to do so." Said Harold walking into the station.
"What are we looking for?" Asked Aaron as they walked down the corridor. "A ship small enough for a three man crew but big enough to outrun the G.F." Whispered Harold. "Makes sense." Said Aaron. They kept walking and found three guys sitting on chairs across from a docking station. "Is that ya'll's ship?" Asked Harold walking up to them.
"Yes it is, and who you might be?" Asked the man clearly in charge. "Galactic Force, we assume you are drug smugglers. Mind if we take a little tour?" Asked Harold. "Don't mind one bit, do we boys?" Asked the man laughing. "We got nothing to hide." Said the man staring at Harold. "Well we'll make sure of that." Said Harold.
The man stood up and stuck his hand out and shook Harold's. "Captain Sullen. Family business transporting goods galaxy wide." Said Captain Sullen. "Nice to meet you, I'm officer Moore." Said Harold. "Nice to meet you." Said Captain Sullen. Captain Sullen walked down the bridge with his men in tow. Harold and Aaron followed. "Aaron, you stay and guard the gate." Said Harold. "Will do." Said Aaron standing at the gate.
They walked into the ship. "She's small, but fast." Said Captain Sullen. "That's good to hear." Said Harold. "Now, I'll check around the ship, can you send my partner in here?" Asked Harold. "Of course." Said Captain Sullen walking out the ship. Harold looked at the man that stayed behind. "I don't like how you're looking at me." Said Harold. "Well do I care?" Asked the man. "You should." Said Harold punching the man, knocking him out. "Aaron, take out the two men coming your way." Said Harold.
"Got it." Said Aaron as Captain Sullen and his first mate walked up to him. "Officer Moore wants you inside." Said Captain Sullen. "Thank you." Said Aaron starting to walk into the walkway. "Hey buddy, what's your name?" Asked Captain Sullen. "Moore, Aaron Moore." Said Aaron. "Like the famous Aaron More. No way." Said Captain Sullen laughing. "Yes very much." Said Aaron punching Captain Sullen. He stumbled back and grabbed his nose.
"You'll pay for that." Said Captain Sullen as a stream of blood dripped down his upper lip. Aaron ran into the walkway and closed the door. The door was starting to lower when Captain Sullen grabbed it and tried to push it upward. "You can't steal that ship!" Yelled Captain Sullen.
He released the door and it slammed shut. Aaron ran into the ship. "Fly away, now." Said Aaron. "Got it." Said Harold pushing the throttle forward. The ship sped off towards the gate.
"Have you ever flown a spaceship?" Asked Aaron. "No, never." Said Harold. "I can help." Said Sik. "How so?" Asked Harold. "I've flown ships for Aaron 3 many times." Said Sik. "Then take over, please." Said Aaron. "Got it." Said Harold stabling the ship.
They reached the gate and slowed down. "This is Galactic Force, what's the identification of the ship?" Asked the guard. "Um. It is NH-51748" Said Harold. "Have a good trip on the red planet." Said the guard. They pushed forward and reached the atmosphere of Mars. "Be prepared, we'll go in fast." Said Harold. They slammed through the atmosphere. All of a sudden a bunch of red lights started to flash.
"What's going on?" Asked Harold. "The system must have been malfunctioned on impact with the atmosphere. We will loose all control in a few seconds." Said Sik. Harold yanked on the yoke and the ship leveled out. "How high are we?" Asked Harold. Altitude of 2,000 feet." Said Sik. "Good, we can make this landing." Said Harold. "How so?" Asked Aaron. "I've made free fall landings back in training." Said Harold. "From what height?" Asked Aaron. "40,000 feet." Said Harold. "Then we can make this." Said Aaron.
"Lets hope." Said Harold. Another red light started to flash, what's that mean?" Asked Aaron. "We've lost hydraulics." Said Sik. "Is there a manual." Asked Harold. "Yes, but these are heavier than 777. If you go manual we can't survive. "Trust me. We can." Said Harold. Sik pressed a yellow button and it turned blue.
"Manual drive set. Disabling all auto functions." Said a voice. Harold yanked harder on the yoke but no flaps raised. "There are manual flaps, but are locked." Said Sik. "Unlock them." Said Harold. Sik pressed a orange button and there was a click. Harold yanked on the yoke and the ship leveled out. Red dirt flew out from under them. "What's our altitude?" Asked Harold. "20 feet." Said Sik. "Sik, lower landing gears." Said Harold. Sik flipped a switch and Harold felt a small drag. "Prepare for a rough landing." Said Harold.
"Harold. Put this on." Said Aaron zipping up his space suit. "Got it." Said Harold putting it on. He grabbed the yoke and yanked up. The wheels hit the ground and they bounced. "Hold on." Said Harold. The wheels slammed into the ground again. One hit a rock and snapped off. The ship tilted and then caught onto a boulder. It flipped sideways and started to roll and slide for a few hundred yards. They were flying around the cabin and lights and sirens were going off. Harold looked around and was slammed into the console. Knocking him out. Aaron was thrown into the wall and went limp. Sik was holding onto the seat but was thrown into the window, cracking it.
The ship landed upside down and slid for another 100 feet until it stopped, the dust cloud that surrounded the ship settled slowly.
