InuYasha Sanyo looks out the window of the Atlantean destroyer Angelus at the shimmering planet below. It had been a long time since he had seen it.

Atlantia. She's never looked so beautiful.

The Comm Officer looks down at his panel, then over his shoulder.

"Captain, there's an incoming transmission from Admiral Kobal."

Admiral Kobal, huh. This should prove interesting

"I'll take it in my office."

Sanyo enters his office, locks the door, activates the desktop viewscreen, and pours himself a drink.

"Vice Admiral Ookami speaking."

"Jasaica, I've got a job for you."

"What is it, Feldric?"

"I want you to escort a Galactic Coalition transport convoy."

"With all due respect, Feldric, I'm not exactly on the best of terms with the GC."

"I'm well aware of that, my friend, but right now, they need a top notch escort. That'd be you."

"What are the conditions?"

"You have to use the Angelus II."

"Damn."

Ookami finishes his drink.

"Fine. I'll do it."

Not that I had much of a choice.

"I thought you would. Admiral Kobal out."

*sigh*

"Alright, let's get this show on the road."

"Comms, this the Captain."

"Yes, sir?"

"Tell the Angelus II to get underway. I've got a mission to attend to. Oh, and tell Captain Rosietha to get up here."

"But she's on leave, sir."

"I know that! Just get her up here!"

*sigh*

"Aye, aye sir."

Ookami looks out the window again, and pours himself another drink.

"Looks like the Fortune Hunters are now taking applications."

*Two days later*

"Captain to the Bridge. Captain to the Bridge."

InuYasha Sanyo sits up and swings his legs off the bed, groaning tiredly.

This had better be good.

He dons his kimono and heads for the Bridge. Upon arrival, the executive officer relinquishes the command chair and takes his station on the right side of the Bridge.

"Status report, captain."

"Sir, multiple fighters detected, intentions unknown."

"If we don' know what their intentions are . . ."

"Sir."

" . . . THEN WHY AREN"T MY FIGHTERS STARSIDE!"
