Just space and all it brings

בהתחשב שהסצנה מתחילה באמצע הסיפור אני חייבת לכם אקספוזיציה קצרה לעלילה.
השנה היא 2148 בני האדם כבר לא חיים על כדור הארץ ומפוזרים על כוכבי לכת שונים ברחבי היקום, תחת פדרציה אחת.
אנשים רבים מחליטים לנצל את שברירות ועיוורון הפדרציה על מנת להשתלט על כוכבים לעצמם.
פשע ואי סדר הם ששולטים כעת ביום.
כתגובה מחליטה הפדרציה להקים צבא שישליט סדר, ויפטר מכוחות שונים המהווים איום לחיים הסדירים ברחבי הגלקסיה.

נקסון, אייזק, אלקסיה, קוטה וג'ונתן הם חברי יחידה עילית מיוחדת של טייסים ובקרים, המשתמשים בכלי טיס מצומצמים המכילים את המנוע, מיכל הדלק והטייס כמעט בלבד.
כל לוח הבקרה של כלי הטייס נמצא על ספינת האם והוא נשלט כמעט לחלוטין על ידי הבקר. כל שנותר לטייס לעשות הוא לנווט את כלי הטיס ולירות.

לאחר משימה כושלת, הטייסים נמלטים בקושי, וכלי הטייס של נקסטון נפגע והוא נותר מאחור.
האם הבקרית שלו, אלקסיה, תוכל להחזיר אותו לספנית האם בשלום?

"Nix the left engine it too badly damaged, if we keep using it at the same force it'll create a nuclear imblance." Nexton is too focused on taking back contol on
the craft to understand what Alexia's words means.
"In English?"
"You'd explode way before you'd get back here." Nexton sighs. He got no chance now.

"Nexton?" Alexia senses he's lack of hope through his silence. She's out of ideas as well. But she can't just watch him die.
"Isaac, how far is he from me?" He has a stupid idea. But he can only bring himself to do it if Isaac can't stop him.
"About 700,000 kilometers."
"Too far to come back for me, right?"
"Yes. you are out of his fuel range. But he can't help you anyway." She doesn't follow his plan. There's no way any of the other pilots can help him right now.
Even if they badly want to. Nexton is all alone in this.
"I know. I just wanted to make sure he can't make any stupid desicions." Everyone knows how important these two pilots are to eachother. She hopes Isaac won't act
idiotically anyway.
"But what IS your plan, Nix?" It takes Nexton time to put all the stages of the plan together. He doesn't even know if it'll work. But it's the only thing he got left
to try.

"Lower the power on both engines. Left one to 5% and right to 50%."
"But that'll slow you down by more than half your speed! They're not that far behind you!" He wants them to be right on his ass. That's the only way he can get rid
of them. If they're close enough to him.
"This is what I'm counting on. Navigate me to that comet field they warned us about."
"It's too dangerous! what if you get another hit? You can't take the damage!" One strike by the tiniest of comets and the craft will blow to bits. with Nexton inside
of it. But obstacles courses are Nexton best speciallty, he's counting on that.
"Trust me, Alex! I know what I'm saying. Trust our trainings. We can do this." They've done hundreds of those. They can do it with their eyes closed. But there's just
too much on the line right now.

"Trust me, Alex. This is our only chance. Keep your cool and navigate me."
"Alright. let's do this. lowering engines power." She did as he requested. This is when the real task starts.

"At this rate, you're 20 minutes away from the comet field and 18 minutes from their accurate target range."
"That'll have to do." Just close enough to drag them to the comet field with him, and then we'll see whose the best pilot.
"Don't die, Nix."
"Trying me best over here."
