Around the other side of Toxus 2 there are a series of blurs in space as a group of eight double bubbles decelerate to sub light speeds. The first four are mark 5s, armed with twin linked plasma cannons and a grappler on each wing. The second four are mark 4s with the more conventional quad plasma cannons on each wing tip. They are flying in escort formation so it isn't surprising when another much large ship drops in behind them. Easily twice the displacement of a S.P.A.C.E. frigate, the destroyer Carpathian is Kaptain Staans ship and has arrived to pick him up. Armed with eight maser cannons and a prow mounted particle beam cannon it represents the pinacle of toad engineering. It was designed by a mammal. At the comm is Lieutenant Innes, who is currently trying to make sense of the energy readings from the fighting around Toxus 2.
"Lieutenant Innes to all Imperial ships. What is the situation here?"

Drake picks up the radio, turning it on.
"She's fine cap'n. Her hard head musta helped soften some of the blows when the guns were hit. Day or two rest and she'll be back on her feet. Drake out."
He looks down at Ayla.
"Aye, you can bet there will be a talkin. For now though, I recomend rest. Can't say for sure if ya got a concusion or what, so to be safe, I'll be sittin here till otherwise and wakin' ya up every so often. As for where we are, I carried ya back to your bed. Figured the crystals and all might help, though search me if I was correct."

"Alright then. We're heading to Genus. Keep an eye on her until we get there." Damien ordered over teh headset.
HE quickly sets course and slaps teh hyperdrive button. The black shuttle leaps from teh double bubbles and vanishis into hyperspace.
Enroute, Damien activates teh radio, "Black Quasar to Genus Control. We are appraoching Genus and fleeing toads. We have one injured ALdebarran, who has taken a blow to her head and we are not sure if she has a concossion. Seeking clearance and asking for a doctor to check her." Damien replies as the shuttle shoots through hyperpace.
HE quickly sends a second message.
"Damien to Mimi, we are on our way back. Please tell the Council i was only able to retrieve half a ton, fi they want it. You can meet me either at the Hangar or Genus bar. Damien out." He says and shuts the radio.
"Now let's hope Ayla isn't hurt to badly." He whispers to himself as he watches teh stars streak by.
In her room, Ayla listens to Drake and nods quietly. "Looks like i really messed up this time. I should have been ready for the hop and wasn't. I had my mind on other things adn it interfered with the situation." She said quietly as she laid her head back. "I endangered the whole frelling ship because of this stupid fera i have of him turning away from me. Maybe it would be better if i returned to Aldebaran and stepped out of his crew."

An announcement crackles on the radio. "This is Captain LaFleur here, do you think you could tell him yourself as I'm a little tied up right now with the Toads!"

Damien looks up at the reply, "WHere at Mimi? Maybe i can help you out or something after i hit Genus." Damien offers as he wtches teh planet come into view.
He quickly punches a few codes.
"Genus COntrol, the is Black Quasar transmitting codes for entry. Have you received request for some medical attention?" HE says as he guides teh shuttle in through the barrier

The communications station on the Carpathian splutters into life.
"<static> ...ake all <static> to the Toxus <static> facility. Disre <static> anything <static> invasion <static> Lieutenant..."
"That's Kaptain Staan's voice. Get that message cleaned up. Tactical! Are the mammals still in system? No? Right. Message to fleet: All ships are ordered to return to Toxus One at maximum speed. Assuming none of their pilots rank higher than Kaptain. Helm, get us underway."
The Carpathian turns with surprising speed for a ship of its size and heads towards Toxus One. Its escorts maintain position, keeping out of its fields of fire.

Whilst there is no answer from Genus Control, Mimi answers "I'm over in Sector 4, and I've got Captain Smata on my tail!"

Having dealt with the slave insurrection on the surface the Carpathian begins patrolling the Toxus system with its fighter squadron.

As the Carpathian moves off, a Double Bubble flies alongside. "Pilot Officer Adder reporting. Toxus Two is secure. Request orders."

"Standard patrol. I don't know why that mammal ship was here earlier but I don't want another getting so close without us knowing about it. Report any anomalous findings."

"Yes, sir. Pilot Officer Adder over and out." The Double Bubble pilots off towards Toxus Two with two more Double Bubbles in tow.

Patrol was seldom an interesting assignment, but Lieutenant Innes had remained alert and focused on the job at hand. The communications officer spoke.
"Sir, message incoming from the Kaptain."
"Main speakers."
"Sergeant Raille, Tabyius, Lieutenant Innes. We have a problem. It seems that the Wing Commander is planning to have the Air Marshall killed. Raille, I want you to take your squad and the Marines and protect the Marshall at any cost. Tabyius, you have my authorisation to use any measures, including lethal force, to take Commander Sludge into custody. Innes, I need you back on Toxus, full speed."
"Helm! Get us under way."

Suddenly, Sludges' Double Bubble hoves into view. Making no attempt to attack, he simply turns away and heads full pelt in the direction of the Toad Homeworld.

"What the hell... Sensors, identify that ship!"
"Its Wing Commander Sludge's personal Double Bubble sir. He's setting a course for the Homeworld."
"Innes to Kaptain Staan. The Wing Commander just left the atmosphere. Do you want us to pursue?"
There was a brief pause.
"Innes, I have uncovered evidence that Sludge is attempting a coop against the High Command. Stop him at any cost."
Even before Innes could issue commands the Carpathian's bridge crew were working to track the Wing Commander. At times like this Staan had taught them not to wait for the senior officer's go-ahead. The sensor officer relayed data directly to the pilot, who plotted the course.
"Helm, get us after him. Navigation, prepare to go to Mark 4 if he makes a break for it."
TBCB Norris. Though I don't know where.

Sludge was already speeding away, but he noticed the Carpathian catching up with him.
"You don't give up easily, do you?" Sludge sneered over his radio, and fired two slimebombs from the rear of his ship towards the pursuers.
