1. Skyway Robbery - Rise

[Interovegas]

Orkan flies against the wind. He arrives back at the Espiegel as the sky dims from grey-blue-green to dark of night. He's breathing heavily, exhausted by his flight up a kilometer and against the wind. His long day of exertion has drained his reserves and he will need to rest before he can perform at his full potential again.

The enemy ship slowed down tremendously. Thanks to Orkan the Espiegel is able to close the distance in an hour. The moon is halfway to its fullest and the target is plodding along but the Espiegel has speed, and thus maneuvrability on his side now.
