"Rainer, their all over the place!" "Oneais, on your tail, steady," The blackness of space was lit as Travis's Turbolasers fired, blasting the port engine of the Raider, sending it spinning into two others. The explosion caused by the colision filled the cockpits of Oneais, Triton, and Travis with an erie flickering light then it was gone as quickly as it began.

Rainer's voice called out over the Com Links, "We got to keep them away from the Ganymede, if they manage to destroy that ship...." Rainers voice trailed off as the Pilots realized what he was getting at. Orion's Viper flew past with 2 Raiders on his tail, "Orion Hold on," Orion's voice called back over the link, "Who me? I am just out for a Joy Ri...." Orion's Viper shook as a Laser blast clipped his Stabiliser, "Okay thats it!" Orion punched the reverse thrusters and hit his braking flaps, in a single moment all forward momentum stopped, the Raiders shot forward right into Orions Sights. Orion hit the fire button reducing one to debris, the other pulling away from Orion came into Travis' sights and he two was destroyed.

"Rainer to all pilots, they are withdrawing, Return.........." Inside Orions Cockpit the ambient light produced by his Visor Screen, seemed to be growing in intensity, he looked at his Navi Controlls, only to see them going haywire. "What the Frack." He tried to move his stick but that to was Frozen.

"Triton to Rainer where did Orion go?" Rainer reached down and hit his Scanner Nothing, "Red One to Ganymede," "Trane here go ahead Red one." "Did you see what happened to Orion?" "Negative Red one, be carefull our charts show some kind of Magnetic Vortex in this area, its small but it can suck up a Viper in a heart beat."

Orion sat there fighting against the Navi-hilt, when he began to feel as if his heart was splitting, the pain grew untill there was nothing but pain, his scream filled the cockpit to the point that it drowned out the roar of the Pulsars behind him, then it was over. Orion looked out and saw the sight of his friends heading for him, then he passed out. "Captain, I have visual contact with Orion, he's just sitting there, looks uncouncious." "Move in on him Slowly we don't know what just happened out here but that Vortex is here somewhere. Ganymede, this is Rainer we need a tow line out here." "Ganymede, to Rainer we are moving into position and preparing to slave his Viper to our controll." "Understood," Lowering his voice Rainer whispered, "hang in there buddy your not dead yet."

As the Ganymede moved into position to slave the Vipers controlls to its own it passed a small unnoticed device hidden on an asteroid. The Mine activated and the Magnetic Vortex expanded a thousand times. The disruption ripping through the fabric of space created a suction that a ship the size of the Ganymede could not avoid, the Ganymede and the vipers were pulled in to be spat out the Lords of Kobol couldn't even guess at.
