The spaceship that Emery and Annara was riding shook violently, causing the latter to hastily reach for the control panel only to find that it had become unresponsive and appeared to have lost all its functions.
Emery couldn't help but become a bit anxious as he watched the huge ship gradually approach theirs. Even though Annara told him that it was the human alliance's ship, they were after all in desolate outer space where a mere small mistake could literally decide between life and death.
"Relax, will you?" said Annara when she noticed how nervous Emery was. "They are definitely friendly, so don't worry too much. Being a student in the privileged class and what we have done in Kurltulmak planet, I'm sure we will receive a hero-like welcome."
Those words were spoken by Annara with such confidence, a moment later a voice came out from the control panel.
"This vessel was reported to be stolen. Identify yourself immediately or we will open fire."
