In the far reaches of the universe, where the Galra’s presence was very minimal in its policing, there was a moon that orbited a planet that had been used as one of the Galra empire’s mining colonies, now abandoned once the planet died of its resources. The base on the moon was locally known as Horizon, a haven for smugglers and mercenaries…
Horizon’s markets had been booming once word got out that the Galra fleet mobilized far away from this part of the star systems. It had been a prime place for Zep to take up on jobs… well, had being the operative word. But now, Horizon became a prime place for Zep to be hunted after several fiascos against some of the local smuggling gangs.
Zep paced his way towards the crowd of aliens in the market square, hoping to blend in to this shit hole of a place as a passerbyer. Looking over his shoulder, he was always worried that his pursuers were close on his tail, and they were.
“I need a way off this rock…” muttered Zep as he walked his way into what seemed to be a nightclub. With any luck, he could get some info on any ships that were coming and going for him to stowaway on.
so, that wormhole, right?
yeah, it blasts keith into a whole nother galaxy entirely, and he grips at the controls of the red lion as they spin through space and enter the moon’s gravitational field. he lets out a grunt, but he tightens his resolve and narrows his eyes.
“ c’mon, girl. you can do this. “
and, like magic - or close, considering he was the best fighter pilot before he flunked - the red lion shudders, but the thrusters activate and she lands on the ground roughly - but far safer than they would have initially.
keith leans back and he lets out a breath he didn’t know he was holding. this was too close for comfort - and one glance at his comms tells him that no one else had dropped into this sector. incredible. how amazing. this was, quite literally, a moon in the middle of nowhere.
running one hand on the arm rest of his chair, he pauses before getting up. he won’t be able to do anything by sitting here. he maneuvers the lion down, before he makes his way to the jaw.
adjusting his helmet, he presses the button to open the hatch, and takes his first step into ... the unknown? (how cheesy.)
