You kick your meager engines into full gear and dash between the pair of ISF gunboats attempting to block your path. Their main guns come to life and fire at your ship, powerful blue bolts passing harmlessly around you.

The puny cutting laser mounted below the cockpit bursts eagerly at the gunboat to your left, but the thin red beam dissipates against its outer shield layer harmlessly. Odds are, the crew didn't even notice the attack. Both gunboats begin to turn and power up their secondary and tertiary batteries as you pass between them and get closer and closer to the Cloud.

You disappear into the murky nebula just as the anti-fighter batteries pour their firepower in your general direction. Relief floods your entire team, but it's found quickly displaced when you realize the jarring fact that you're flying blind in the Kohaku Cloud, no plan or course. Kril, in a small panic, takes the controls, rolling and dodging the tiny civilian craft as the first of the Cloud's infamous asteroids present themselves in force. Simply through these maneuvers, the navigation systems are overloaded and disoriented.

Your only chance of ever finding Isemacai, or even just getting home alive, rests on the hope that Kril didn't throw off your original course too much. A faint hopeless depression sets in when, after seemingly-endless hours of straight flying, you find nothing but more and more asteroids.

Amocci breaks the silence, shouting that she sees a battered supply post suspended between two rounded asteroids. Kril takes the ship closer, and it's obvious that the station has suffered numerous powerful impacts since its apparent abandonment. It's possible that some sections of the station might still be intact, and an unshielded landing platform beckons for you to land.

Kril sets the ship down softly, anchoring it to the landing platform's deck magnetically. You agree that you should search the station for any supplies or clues as to the location of NS Isemacai, but when you disembark in your protective space suits, numerous paths present themselves. The hangar control room, reactor section, administrative section, dormitories, and supply stores are immediately accessible according to aged, faint signage via a number of airlocks and doors.
