Chapter 1 - Business as usual

Night, the full shape of the low luminous half moon was up in the sky. It was dark without the artificial lights or at best one could barely see a thing, so was it on Planet Mato. A figure stood on a narrow top hill. Darkness took dominion around the figure. The figure peered down below, focused. Below the hill was a mine. The mine was still in its work hours, but the lights were out. In the mine, a robbery was in progress. Five bandits dressed as the mine's security officers had ceased control of a part of the mine, a vault to be precise. They wore Echo glasses to aid them see in the darkness. They couldn't use the regular night vision glasses because the Planet's lower atmosphere had complexities that rendered it useless. The thieves were under pressure as they carried out the operation. The Echo glasses emitted waves on its user and the waves were easily detectable by a mobile gadget accustomed to security officers. A non-suspecting security officer just decided to take a look at his gadget only to find Echo signatures lifting Imocrium from there holding crates. The officer alerted other officers using the device. Security officers made their way through the passage ways using red light torches to the ceased area. The ceased area was blocked off by a massive and very thick steel door that was operated by a destroyed computer on the inside. The bandits were responsible for the computer's destruction. The thieves were stealing Imocrium, an unrefined solid mineral that will yield Ocrium after being refined. The Ocrium was used as space ship fuel. Ocrium was an expensive fuel that could only be afforded by the rich and so was its unrefined ore. The Imocrium was a watermelon sized blue rock held in a cylindrical container. The thieves loaded the Imocrium into the three carts they had beside them. The carts were soon full. The carts were on train tracks that left the mine through a secret passage. One of the thieves directed the carts to leave the mine using the tracks by pushing some command buttons on the side of the lead cart. The cart sped away on the tracks. The thieves escaped the room using a tunnel that ran from the wall into the mass of solid ground behind it. The figure on the hill was still there, staring down below, focused. A screeching sound emanated from below the hill to the top of the hill, the carts had surfaced. The figure had a chain beside it which extended from somewhere below on the other side of the hill. The figure jumped onto the slanting hill ground and then allowed itself to slide down the hill. It reached the carts at the foot of the hill and then it linked the carts using the chain. It reached to its pocket and took out a voice communication device. It activated the device and then a light shone from the device onto its face. It revealed her face, it was a woman and she was beautiful. She was dark in complexion. The hairs on the left side of head were clipped low and her long short hairs fell to the right side. Her name was Adeola.

"Up and away" – voiced Adeola into her comm. device.

The carts were pulled off the train tracks and then upwards the hill towards the other side of the hill. Adeola didn't follow her previous route instead she ran across the foot of the hill towards a thick bush. She found her hover bike in the bush and then she mounted on it and she rode away into the darkness.

The gang that lifted the Imocrium in the mines was still passing through the tunnel in the ground. They made the tunnel to get into the mine. The tunnel came out at a subway station. It was a very huge substation. There were a lot of tunnels that came out at this subway station and they were not monitored by public security forces because it was a normal thing for people to make and use tunnels to reach subway stations on this planet. Also, there hasn't been a case of violence recorded from the tunnel. The gang came out from the tunnel into the substation only to realize that they were ambushed by the police. The police had evacuated the subway station and they restricted civilians from entering into the subway station. The police had disguised as normal civilians to not alert the thieves. There were police officers placed mid way other tunnels and at the mine situated entry of the gang's tunnel. The police had anticipated their next movement after they were alerted of the robbery at the mine.

"Didn't see that coming, did we?" – Robben rhetorically asked the gang.

Robben was the leader of the gang. He was respected amongst thieves across Gold spiral galaxy. He was known to be cunning and unpredictable.

"Drop your weapons where we can see them" – yelled one of the police officers.

Unfortunately, Robben and his gang had no weapons on them. Another gang member, a male alien from the green colored humanoid species known as Trianlax named Cloud looked around, left and right, as if he was expecting something.

"Three, two, one, ready" – whispered Cloud to the hearing of his gang members.

Then the gang dived and took cover behind a concrete wall that went under ground level. Just then there was a violent flash of blue light and a strong radiation of thermal energy followed. The thermal radiation fried away the police officers. Robben and his gang were lucky to escape the effects because they were farther away from the concentration zone. A police mega hover truck entered the substation and horned like it was inviting someone for a ride. Robben and his gang made their way to the ground level. The hover truck's load section opened for them to go in. The gang went into the truck. They went to the cockpit and met Adeola, she was driving the truck. There were a few vehicles on Planet Mato that were privileged to use Ocrium as fuel and that included police hover trucks. Adeola had exposed the Ocrium engines of the mega truck towards the police men and then she charged the trucks engine and then the Ocrium engines heated up but without their thermo absorbers to tap off the heat. The heat then radiated towards the police officers and it killed them all. The gang escaped the subway station using another tunnel that was unknown to the police force.

While the subway station event went on, Yui, another gang member and a fifteen year old girl, received the three carts containing the Imocrium in the Black cunner which was on the other side of the hill. The Black cunner was huge aircraft, almost the capacity of three C-5 planes, shaped like a computer mouse. She used a forklift to put the carts in a crate designed to hold carts. The Black cunner was capable of space travel. Yui powered the Black cunner to the skies and away from Planet Mato. She reached the space border control point of Planet Mato. Robben had people he trusted at the border control point. Those people helped him and his gang cross the border easily. Yui alerted one of those people of her presence. The person quickly cleared her for crossing and she left for her destination. A custom officer watched the Black cunner disappear into the darkness. The officer on different occasions observed that the Black cunner got cleared quickly which was abnormal when compared to a quick clearance. The officer wondered made the Black cunner so special to warrant the treatment.

Very far from the space sector planet planet Mato claimed control of. There was a space station but for convenience, call it a space island, it was a black market spot. Traders from all over the galaxy would convene there to trade their goods, which were most of the times there illegal goods. The Black cunner was parked at it usual spot on the space island, beside a green one storey building. Robben and rest of the gang arrived there with an orange ship. Today's customer was a good guy. The customer was a chubby female Trianlax. She bought the carts of Imocrium and the single cell of Ocrium from the police mega hover truck. The gang splitted the profit evenly but the profit from the Ocrium fully went to Adeola because she was the one who got the police truck and she also extracted the Ocrium for the truck's engine.

The gang went their separate ways. Robben owned the Black cunner. He took the Black cunner for a ride across a designated cruise area in space. He was completing a third sound speed revolution when he received a call. He wanted to ignore the call so badly. He looked to see he was the caller; it was his old friend, Draxler. He picked the call. Draxler sounded so enthusiastic like he jammed a gold mine. He had jammed a gold mine not literally. He invited Robben to come over to his side so that they could have an in depth chat for the job he had to offer.
