"Looks like this battle's going to take some time" grunted Khuurava as he watched the action from the sensors. A small energy spike came up on the edge of the system, implying there was even more action inbound. Deciding on a course of action, Khuurava hit a few commands at the holo-console in front of him, the Marauder's probe bays opening as one was ejected into space, the craft activating and beginning to drift. It was essentially a black and grey oval-shaped object, four aerofoils extending from it's fuselage, forming an X. Marauder was written on each of the wings, and the main hull of the oval craft was clustered with black and silver hexagonal nodes, linked by black streaks. Along the hull between the delta-shaped wing structures, communications arrays were formed, and it became clear that the nodes were a combination of thrusters and long range telescope/cameras. It's small size meant it was nearly undetectable, and a single thrust of its engines sent it rocketing out into space...
"Time we investigated some of our job requisitions" grunted the Khurakra merc as he brought up a list of jobs offered to him. Spotting one in particular that seemed convenient, he locked in the location on the Marauder's navigation systems. For a few brief moments, the ship would appear on the sensors of the more advanced ships in the vicinity, but by then, the Marauder was already gone, rocketing into FTL speeds as the ship swiftly departed the system, leaping into hyperspace soon after...
"Ah yes, organised chaos. the sign of a clever but ever-busy mind. To the perpetrator, a carefully woven web of belongings and intrigue, but to the bystander? Madness!"
