Prologue
Space can be big, but the X universe is something else altogether. The Universe changes and new sectors pop up- all over the place. The Xenon Fusion Project failed resulting in a warp hole so powerful even I couldn’t believe it when I first entered the Super gate. There it was right in front of me, Earth. Space travel and living evolved over the tazuras. I cannot believe that my father John Brennan was the pilot of the S.S. Kho named after Elena’s father the great scientist Matthew Kho who helped with the building of the vessel that took many people to the sector of Alpha Centauri and populated the Zodinnian Planets and sectors. I Kyle Brennan am home at last.

“This is Shaun Luna of Earth we require your identity please pilot of the X shuttle… My God it’s you!” I couldn’t believe that my name was still spoken even in the other universe.

“I am Kyle Brennan of Earth I have come here by accident the Xenon or as we used to call them Terraformers had created a mother ship so powerful it blew up after undocking. The Xenon made a warp tunnel into a hollow asteroid and have evolved into stronger ships and have downloaded from Argon Databases information about a weapon our new enemy the Kha’ak calls Kyon Emitters.”

“Kyle Brennan what is life like on the other side of the Warp tunnel?” I was amazed by his question but I answered with “hard”.

The Races have changed whilst I’ve been asleep we are now building better ships but we still stick with the old. One person who uses new ships is called Scot McDannel.
His family originates from Scotland but when the warp hole opened they amongst millions migrated to the X universe…

Chapter 1- Dodgy Deals

“The energy capacitor is empty” The computer Droned
“Yes I know…” replied Scot.
“The shields are not recharging due to the low power in the capacitor” Droned the computer.
“Yes…” Scot was annoyed of the Voice droning away in his ears.
He started to mouth every sentence repeated by the computer.
“Computer shut down the weapons activate Jump drive jump to Argon Prime”
“The energy is low…”replied the computer.
“Well then use the energy cells in the cargo container to recharge…”
“Input amount…”
“Arghhhh!” Scot banged his fist down on the metal board in front of him.
“Coffee dark” The computer droned
A cup filled with black liquid
“Oh just what I need, thanks computer” said Scot
Scot drinks the Coffee and Puts the cup back into the dispenser, the cup vanishes.
“Now then Argon Prime please.” Scot ordered.
“Gateless jump initiated”
“GO!!!!!” Scot sat back and grinned as the space around Scot’s ship blurred past his cockpit.

The ship suddenly jumped into Argon Prime and a dim glow filled the engine thrusters.

"Permission to dock at shipyard..."
"Welcome pilot to Argon Ship Repair and Fittings service, we have all your needs plus new ships in stock nearly every twenty six Stazura. We are towing you in to the station or you can dock automatically. thankyou for listening." chirped the station announcer
"thanks" replied Scot.
"Welcome" came the voice..

The docking bay was silent but as Scot looked out over the ship building and repairs area it was alive with sparks and droids and men in orange suits.

"Welcome pilot how can we be of service?" asked the man as Scot strode into the ship repairs office.
"I'm here about my ship." replied Scot
"Ah what are you thinking of doing with it?" asked the man.
"Well i was told to come here to repair and sell it on and buy a new ship" replied Scot.
"No offence but you Terran can be a little gullable at times" they both laughed, "no seriously, never trust a teladi it might be your last breath of air."
"whatd'ya mean?" replied Scot.
"Teladi are renowned for their dodgy ships and cheap prices, believe me i bought a dralthi once and when it was ready i opened up the air lock and it exploded!" Scot gasped as the man told his story.
"So then the teladi replies with 'this is one of you argon tricks' and i say 'actually you do these tricks all the time to cheat me of my credits'."
"Then did the teladi start stating all the costs for damage onboard the station?" asked Scot.
"How did you know?"
"Same thing happened to me."
"Tehe, sorry for not introducing myself i am Dan Flint Jospan. Your better off using the piracy command onboard your ship."
"Piracy command?" asked Scot.
"LV inc created the program Egosoft made them and i bet you you will never get a well equipped ship from any where else!"
"How much for the command?"
"free! here..." Dan gave a command chip to Scot. "put it in your console pad there."
"Wow..."

Chapter 2 - Cheat

The Screen on Scot's pad started up and then a (1 new message)
"This message tells you how to use it and what they do."
"So if i was to say select command 7 and select this thing here a khaak Destroyer would suddenly appear"
"Hold on are you sure you selected your name?!"
"ah...."
*WARNING! KHAAK INVASION DESTROYER CLASS!!!*
a whisle sounded to call all pilots to their ships.
"Please do not panic! Our forces are now being deployed!" the Announcer tried to calm everyone down. one girl screamed as she saw the big purple spider crawl by the window. And then the sudden rumble as it knocked against the stations shields.

"our forces are too weak this ones strong and...... we can....seem...to brea....the shie.....on....thing..... and...it's jamming the radio......."
"Get me Ban Danna" ordered the general of the station.
"This is Ban Danna here were on our way with the Argon One, The Legion and the Hulk we'll try our best!"
"Thank you Ban..."

"Scot What are you doing?!" asked Dan
"I'm Going to hold the Destroyer back by placing a few fighter drones in there..."
"How about giving the argon a hand?"
"I already placed a warbird in there it's mine though"

The Warbird screached past the windows and got behind the Destroyer and started shooting at it. The Kyons were too busy firing at the drones.

*EVACUATE THE AREA! CODE RED!!!!*
"What i'd rather die on the station than being blown up in a crowded Runabout!!"
"Please do not evacuate the area The Destroyer would Destroy Your TP shuttle like putting a pin to a balloon!" announced the lady.

Scot started typing in numbers and letters onto his console
"Hello this is Julian Brennan how can i be of service?"
"Get khaakbaiter and tell him to come to Argon Prime with a Destroyer and you to get a TL! We need to evacuate the Area!"
"I'm on it!!"
Suddenly A Cube Popped up from nowhere and started peppering the Desteoyer whilst Julian activated the Airlock to the station.
"This is Julian Brennan Please proceed to Airlock Twenty eight where i am waiting with a TL and i will get you to the safety of President's End"
"Hah President's End! It's a Barren Wasteland and its always infested by Kha'ak" Snorted an Argon. The floor shook..."o-ok i think i'm going to get on now...."
