Upon entering the Izar Beta system, the Aurora received a communication on an encrypted channel very similar to the signal they traced back from The Aurora's systems after the initial purge. The signal contained a call for help from “friendly assets”, indicating an imminent attack. Of further note was, that the signal contained a set of coordinates, which due to light lag could not know of the Auroras entry into the system by the time the message arrived.
After a visual sweep of the system, 2 DropShips under high burn towards the indicated coordinates were detected and the Company decided to pursue.
Pushing the engines to their limits, the Company managed to reach the coordinates, a sub-planet sized airless frozen rock, at the same time, as the first of the detected DropShips.
Since the signal identified itself as affiliated to the original operators of the Aurora, Dmytro was sent to scout the location using the Blackjack BJ-1 of the Auroras original inventory. The rest of the Company positioned themselves to interdict the approaching Mercenary 'Mech and heavy armor force.
Having sent the Mercenaries into retreat, the Company investigated the signal coordinates, which turned out to be a Pinto class corvette buried in the ice of the planetoid - the Minerva.
The Aurora was mothballed, but in pristine condition and running on minimal power only supplying the computer core and communication systems with power. It's hangars contained 4 Assault class 'Mechs and 2 Aerospace superiority fighters.
The decision was made to power up the ship to level the playing field against the fast approaching Pentagon class Assault DropShip. Luckily the Mercenaries decided to not try their hand in a fair fight and abandoned the approach.
The Local Government of Izar, finding themselves in the position of potentially having to stare down the guns of an operational WarShip, encouraged the Company to move on and seek employment from the Capellan Confederation Ministry of Archeology, that as it happens have been looking for an FTL capable mercenary unit, and who the Company has worked for in the past.
