>You are Captain Anonymous.
>A man that has been chosen to rescue the whole universe from a faction that reminds you more of a terrorist group.
>You don't even know what its purpose is.
>Hell, no one does.
>People only know that Rebellion hates the Federation and wants it down as soon as possible.
>The faction's also known to consist mostly from humans due to Earth being conquered by it back in 2223.
>A fight that cost Rebellion millions of soldiers in exchange of over 3 billion new soldiers and a needed boost to gain the upper hand in war.
>It also cost Earth's folks their freedom and made the entire planet one huge arms' factory.
>Those who didn't promise to fight and die for Rebellion were made petty slaves.
>Ever since that day Federation has been on the losing side of the war.
 
BEEP BEEP, MESSAGE RECEIVED
>You see your commander on the screen.
>"Capt-- Anonymous, the Rebel- Are afte-- ou! You have to get those blueprin-*THRRK*-deration Base as soon as-- sible! We'll try to keep them back but we cannot las-- ch longer!"
>Throughout the dialogue explosions and gunshots can be heard.
>"They know where we are? but how?" Arctic states while slightly panicking.
"I have no idea. We can't let this stop us though."
>You sigh. Not only are you now on a very limited schedule but also your mission has turned from a relaxing trip into an actual suicide mission.
"Uhh, can you check from the radar how close they are to us? I'm gonna go tell Curious to increase engine power.
>"Don't you have an intercom to do something like that?"
"I used to but it broke some time ago."
>Arctic gives you a very confused look "How can someone actually break an intercom?"
>You give Arctic a shrug and leave the room.
 
>After leaving the cockpit you pull out a cigarette from your jacket's pocket.
>If now isn't a good time to smoke then it never is.
>Damn rebels and their obsession the conquer the universe.
>Because of them you’ve lost almost everything.
>Your friends, your family… all gone.
>Oh well, at least Rebellion still hasn’t gotten you.
>During your entire life you’ve always managed to escape from them.
>Maybe you can do the same thing now.
>It’s not like this job’s any different from your earlier missions.
>The only difference is that the opposition is tougher than before.
>Nothing can go wrong, right?
>Quite fittingly you finish smoking your cigarette once you reach the engine room.
>You straighten your jacket and let out a deep sigh before opening the door.
“Curious, you here?”
>You peek through the doorway inside the room.
>there are three huge computers in the room, each used to control different parts of the ship.
>While everything seems still be in one piece, you cannot see Curious anywhere.
>Eh, you can just leave a note for him.
>You pick up a pen and piece of paper from the computer table and start writing.
“Increase engine power by a half… And come see me at the cockpit when you’re not busy.”
>You put the note on the computer screen so that Curious will surely see and read it.
>Since nothing else requires your attention here, you start walking back to the cockpit.
>But you don’t manage to leave the room before the orange pony returns.
“Oh hey, there you are! I’ve been looking for you.”
>Curious is slightly startled but then straightens and salutes you.
>”C-captain, surprised to see you h-here!"
>Just like with Arctic, you wave him down and tell him to call you Anon.
>”So what brings you back here, cap- I-I mean Anon?”
“Oh, I just wanted to come tell you to increase engine power. That’s all.”
>”You… you don’t have an intercom for that?”
