Prelude to the missions- The mercenaries of PAST.

"Accessing…. information found… the mercenary team from PAST is a organization of its own accord has one or more reasons for fighting against both the Galactic Federation and the Space Pirates, this organization is led by a mysterious figure Metty Primell and not much is known about her, however what is known is that she loves one of the people working for her and is said to be in a interesting relationship." The computer screen flowed into life showing a list of names for team PAST, then it stopped at a name listed as Sir Dies Allot, the image showing was of a human figure with solid bright green skin and clothes, no nose or ears and wearing a cone shaped hat, eye color black.

"First name Sir, middle name Dies and last name Allot; his last name is pronounced Al-ut and is usually mispronounced as 'a lot'; species is concerned to be human despite his appearance, special abilities are unknown and area of expertise known is information retrieval, stealing and a multitude of other things, it is said that nobody can shoot this messenger and he can somehow fake his death concerning multiple occasions were he is seen dying yet to be found still alive later, recently in past weeks Sir has managed to hack into Galactic Federation computers stealing top secret information, it is also well known that Sir has done the same to the Space Pirates, Sir is probably PASTs first agent sent into the most dangerous of situations where he is to pull what is known as the Houdini Effect and miraculously walk away from anything unscathed, weaknesses and flaws are unknown except the he is never been seen fighting." The computer scrolled down to the next file named Darkon Arters Shadows, showing two different pictures one of a normal red human eye with large optic nerve tail and eyelids attached and the second showed a focused cloud of darkness.

"First name Darkon, middle name Arters and last name Shadows; is of a dark floating ocular species, is most know for a high hatred of bovine and gryllidae based species, special abilities include control over dark matter and mystical energies to differing degrees and his area of expertise is ballistics and engineering; however, it is very well known that Darkon is mathematically challenged and yet he still is a expert in fields where math is mostly required creating a wholly unheard of paradox, his weaknesses are old soda recipes, large bodies of liquids, antimatter and for an unknown reason bovine related species, isn't considered that great a fighter unless armed with any given form of weaponry, he might be a expert starfighter pilot." The computer again scrolled down to the next that read Shooter D. Riggen, it was a four foot tall humanoid light blue dragon with bat like wings popping out of his back, with a single small curved horn coming from the top of his head, he had purple eyes.

"First name Shooter, middle name Drey and last name Riggen; some believe Shooter comes from a distant dwarf like cousin species of notorious repeatedly reincarnated high ranking Space Pirate Ridley however he is considerably more humanoid in facial appearance with the fact he has a more blunter and rounder nose then Ridley, special abilities include super armored skin and electrical field generation, had occupation as a Galactic Federation law enforcer however because of the lack of recognition for chasing down some annoying criminals quit his job to pursue a job working for Metty who ironically enough employs Darkon who is as annoying, his area of expertise is all forms of combat, the galactic federation has yet to find something that can easily pierce his armor plated skin, carries around two specially built energy repulsing razor edged shields that can be combine to created a powerful energy cabled yo-yo, it is yet unknown why Shooter favors these shields instead of actual weapons." The image on the screen shows the two round light blue shields combining back to back and then shows Shooter flinging it out connected to his hand by a beam of energy.

"These are the four main members of PAST, it said that they are currently looking for new members and their most recent actions against the GF and Space Pirates involved stealing a Space Pirate Frigate and then within a same set of time managed to steal a vast amount of data out of several of the Galactic Federations secret databases without being found out until a month later, they are to be considered dangerous and must be stopped at all cost, the bounty on these individuals is negotiable per each character and the specified bounty for information concerning the leader of the group will be paid in full." The computer moved on to other organizations and boring stuff and we move away from the computer.

Weeks earlier.

Space Pirate Frigate in space, it was in the specimens lab that the scientist were puzzling over a odd floating creature they couldn't tell what it's dark cloudy mass was made of or how it was floating, but they almost made the connection to the eye being based on a normal humans, they had found and captured this specimen on the last world they visited and it was Kizalys a frozen waste planet.

The scientist done trying to experiment on their newest test subject they left behind the shielded glass like structure and it creepily watched them go, without making a sound on the outside of his body the creature spoke to the beings inside of him.

"Okay I think they're gone, but I might still be under surveillance and Sir better get onboard soon and cause a distraction or they might try to probe my dark matter again and I can't hide you two forever." Under the mass of darkness listening to the whispering voice from all around them were two figures one of which had two arms, legs and wings, along with a decent length of a tail and a single central horn from it's forehead it was Shooter, the other figure in the middle of the surrounding mass opened her mouth to speak and direct the plan from the point their distraction made contact.

Meanwhile out in space in a high jacked horseshoe crab shaped bright green space ship was on a collision course for the Space Pirate Frigate.

"Why am I always the first one to end up on suicide missions, they always hurt like hell and couldn't someone else do my job and not have to die at the same time?" Sir Dies Allot said in a monotone voice without a hint of actually being annoyed, while aiming to slam the ship into the Space Pirates hangar hoping he didn't mess up the it's structural integrity he wanted to keep the ship intact so he wouldn't have to do all the repair work, the Space Pirates probably didn't see him coming, which was surprising considering how good the sensors on this Frigate was and the only reason why they weren't alerted to Sir's presence until it was to late to stop him was because he was flying one of their starfighters.

The whole ship was in an uproar about the crash and Darkon waited to make sure the pirates had left before enacting the second phase of the plan.

End Chapter.
