Will Richard Save the Day on his Day Off? You Decide!
While Nasser gets the rope and secures it to the pillar, you ready the grenade. After you and Nasser have tied a length of rope around yourselves, you throw the grenade. Sure enough, it blows a hole straight through the floor. You and Nasser repel down the hole and scramble into a glider. As soon as each of you are in place, you notice the door to the glider bay open up and several enemy troops come running in. With the plasma cannon on your glider you blast open the bay door leading to space. The soldiers are sucked out.
You pilot the glider though the hole you made and as fast as you can get away from the station. There are some enemy gliders milling about, and one of them follows you.
"Hey," you say over the intercom to Nasser, at his post as copilot in the back of the ship, "there's one behind us, fire some missiles will ya?"
"I'm on it."
The missiles strike the enemy craft head on; it didn't even have a chance to fire. No one else comes after you as you leave the solar system towards a nearby habitated planet near another star.
You hear your earpiece crackle. "I owe you my life and I don't even know your name."
"Richard Leahy. Your debt to me has already been repaid. If you hadn't had the idea of blasting through the floor, I would have just rushed in through the front door and likely met up with those troops we saw. Who knows what could have happened then? I'm just glad we escaped with our lives. I just can't help feeling guilty though, leaving all those people behind."
"There was nothing you could have done. If you had stayed and fought you would have surely been killed."
"I guess you're right, but I can't help but feel that maybe if I had done things differently it wouldn't have had to end like this..."
