Angel contact

Aodha stands looking out the window of his quarters, gazing off into space ... suddenly an incoming message appears on his communications console and his gaze is broken.

"Hello, Aodha! I heard you were back, good to see you again".

The image on the console was of Gif Iggylfur, a Thukker agent representing Trust Partners. Aodha had completed some difficult and dangerous mission for Gif in the past.

"Sigma, Gif. Hope all is well, old friend".

Gif gave a quick smile and replied instantly.

"Aodha, apologies for disturbing you but we have a problem here and given your track record we feel your the man for the job. I have uploaded mission details to your comms console, the payment is excellent and you won't have to deal with CONCORD on this one". Gif smiled.

Aodha began looking through the mission documents.

"Mission threat: Deadly

Details: Deliver package N2387-OI from system N-DQOQ, Great Wildlands to Utopia in the Curse Region. Package contents are classified.

Package receiver: Myrhial Arkenath."

The named receiver stood out amongst the rest of the mission data. It was Myrhial Arkenath a known Angel Cartel operative. Aodha wondered what could be in the package that could be so important.

Aodha flicked the screen to the image of Gif.

"Mission accepted."

Return to Great Wildlands

I arrived at the docking station in N-DQOD.  I was ordered to leave Delve under a cloak of secrecy, nobody was to know my goal except for Covenant high command who had entrusted me with this vital mission. The journey from Delve had not been an easy one. Moving so many of my ships from Covenant space would not have gone unnoticed if I hadn't taken such care over the logistics. The Covenant were always very careful not to let any of its pilots leave its grasp so easily.

The Thukker had always shown me compassion on my return from operations. I spent the day visiting old faces knowing tomorrow I had to seek out an agent who would give me further instructions.
