## Event

Ship: none

*A Rebel fleet has gathered around a planet with a rather largely populated Federation metropolis built upon it. It appears the leader of the fleet, an overly rotund and almost egg shaped man aboard an Engineer vessel, is shouting at a crowd that has gathered in response.*

* 1. Listen to his rant.

* *The engineer frantically gestures while he speaks. "-I've come to make an announcement: Colonel Hedge is a bitch ass idiot. He slept with my wife. That's right, he-" there's some fumbling with the mic, but the speech promptly resumes, "was "THIS BIG", and I said 'That's disgusting!' So I'm making a call-out to all of you! Hedge, you've-" again, the mic cuts out momentarily. "It's the size of a this ship, except way smaller! And guess what? Here's what mine looks like!"*

* *The crowd screams as a massive ASB cannon extends out of one of the nearby fleet ships. "That's right baby! He slept with my wife, so guess what, I'm gonna... uh... sleep with this planet!" The humongous ASB cannon fires, but the shot travels much higher, missing the planet and striking the moon instead, causing the giant rock to shatter as if it were made of glass. "That's right, this is what you get, my SUPER LASER CANNON! HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT, HEDGE? I SLEPT WITH THE MOON, YOU IDIOT! You have 23 minutes before I get bored of waiting and destroy this entire city. You will surrender yourself immediately. Now get out of my sight, before I sleep with all of you too!" The transmission ends.*

* 1. Take out the Engineer vessel.
* 2. Hunt down Hedge and force him to surrender.
* 3. Leave before you get slept with.

* 2. Ignore the fleet.

* *Nothing good can await the crowd below, but there's nothing you can do about it now.*

* 1. Do something aboard the ship
* 2. Do nothing.

## Fight the Engineer vessel

* *You move to attack the Engineer ship. Unfortunately, the fleet is also firing upon you from a distance.*

* Fight an Engineer ship with an ASB firing at you

* **(When the Engineer ship is defeated)** *The Engineer vessel has been defeated. Without their leader, the Rebel fleet quickly becomes disorganized. Immediately after, a counter attack is led by the Federation, but the fleet will likely continue to linger for a while.*

* You receive a **medium** standard reward.

* *You're met by the aforementioned Colonel Hedge, who extends his thanks. "I... I have genuinely no idea what he was talking about. I don't even know who he is! But no matter. Let me see what I can do for you."*

* You receive a **high** standard reward.

## Hunt down Hedge

* *It seems many people in the crowd had the same ideas as you, and people have begun to gather around Hedge's ship, but he's already begun the climb into the atmosphere by the time you arrive. Fortunately you, you have a ship to follow him with, and you rocket off in his direction. In the distance, it appears the fleet is firing at both of you!*

* Fight an Elite Federation ship with an ASB firing at both ships.

* **(When the Federation ship is defeated)** *Hedge has been defeated. It seems your efforts have not gone unnoticed by the Engineer vessel from earlier, though the fleet itself continues to target you.*

* You receive a **high** standard reward.

* *"Y-you've killed him! My arch-nemesis, that dastardly Colonel Hedge, has been slain by another Federation officer? How strange... wait wait, I shall come with you. I must see what other surprises you might have in store."*

* You gain a Wentworth Technician with maxed skills named Robotnik
