A small space trade convoy was rapidly approaching the Bull Planet at 07 times the speed of light from the outer Milky Way coordinates of X235-Y57 in the Black Devil Realm. To conceal their identities, this convoy of 20 civilian vessels was disguised by the military of the Bergheide Super Empire.
Duolin and Sword Dragon sat in the command cabin at the bow of the ship, awaiting instructions from the Military Department. The Capital Planet had received feedback that Bruce's whereabouts were unknown, but the red shuttle departing from the Death Planet was presumed to contain men in black.
The red shuttle had been reported to have arrived at the Bull Planet, but finding a person within the remote star of 42 million inhabitants was no easy task, even if detailed information could be extracted from the spaceport.
Troublingly, the trade convoy was hit by an unidentified beam from the 8 o'clock position as they reached the planet's atmosphere two days later.
