7:15 p.m.
En route to Mobius
While the punisher was cruising along the spacelanes, nobody noticed the slipspace rupture off the starboard side of the ship until a giant spaceship came out of the night. "What was that?" Chris asked alarmed. A block shaped transport came straight for them. A collision course alarm blared on the bridge, Ryan screamed at his helmsmen, "Jesus, all ahead reverse!" They complied. A small fleet of 4 UNSC destroyers did also
On the other ship the captain also noticed this. The captain was Stuart Labute. "Oh my God stop this crate!"
Both ships stopped 50 kilometers away from each other. Chris and Ryan were sweating. The others never knew about this. "Get me a link to that ship, crewman." Ryan said to a Merc. "Yessir." He said. The view screen flashed on and Stuart stood there mad as ever. "Listen, flyboy what do you think you're—oh no." he looked stunned at Chris's appearance. "Not you again." "Yes, me again and if you even try to run you will be shot so many times you are gonna look like a firecracker on the 4th of July." Stuart sighed, defeated. "Fine. You have me outnumbered and outgunned so I believe I can offer some help. Considering you also have my Emeralds and I can't do anything about it." Johnson stepped foreword. "How did you know?" "I have many contacts." Stuart said. "What do you need?" Chris said. "One thing. Real simple: Your help." "Fine, I guess I have no choice." Chris punched the air. "Lets get moving then!"
Together the small fleet of ships moved through inky blackness. Soon after so many long hours they reached their destination, a sapphire blue orb with green forests, creamy white clouds and icy white glaciers, The freedom fighters and Chris's second home, Mobius. Johnson was in awe. "I'll be, sir. That's a fine looking little planet you have there. Reminds me of Earth in the history vids back at school." Chris folded his arms and smiled. It had been a while. Now he could get off the ship, smell the sweet unpolluted air, and more importantly, win this war.
