Meanwhile in the dark recesses of space a lone pod was drifting aimlessly . . .<br/><br/>Aboard the vessel was a being by the name of Nix, along with his sprite companion who had no name. Nix simply addressed her as Sprite. The two had barely escaped the utter destruction of a ship as it was consumed by an unfamiliar black ooze.<br/>"I'm getting something on the radar." Nix said as he observed the blinking dot on the sonar. "It looks to be another ship. And a big one."<br/>"Don't tell me we're landing there?" Sprite inquired.<br/>"We have no choice. We're running on empty here. Don't worry once we fuel back up we'll be out and about in no time. Though a few souvenirs couldn't hurt either."<br/>"You mean stealing." Sprite said in a matter-of-fact way.<br/>"No way! That would be cold and heartless! We're merely pilfering." Nix said with a smile.<br/><br/>The pod landed on the docking bay balcony of The Fury as silently as possible. *CLANK*<br/>"Okay Sprite, you know what to do." Nix said to her before opening the hatch and letting her fly out.<br/>"I'll be back before you know it." She gave a salute before heading inside.
