sorry its been a while:

Chapter 4:

Jack and Richard were walking down the street. They had met at the pub the mod monty and were heading
towards a old launchpad where Richard had some ships.

"So are you going to kepler?" Jack asked

"I will stop and get you set up, give you a contact number then i will head into elsewere." Richard said looking smug

"Where is this 'eslewhere'?" jack said looking puzzeled at richard

"Oh its around..."

"So what ship am i flying?"

"MLX mark 4724683"

"I read about those in history texts, Russia in the Great space war flew those"

"Yup of course we have updated and modified them, but the frame is very good."

"Why the russian ship?"

"We found it and it looked promising, besides we had little to choose from!"

"I hear there is trench fighting in New Berlin!"

"Indeed these hostiles have land suits but we cant even tell if there human"

"Okay richard how the hell do you know so much and i know your hiding something from me!"

"maybe i am, but if you needed to know you would, trust me."

"Alright, were at the pad"

"Pick your pleasure Jack"

Jack Walked up to a russian MLX and hopped in. hte cockpit was nice, not squished but not overly roomy.
Jack flicked on a keyboard and was pleasently suprised. the Computer system had a 3D holomatrix
Mapping system. This was better for mapping space becuase unlike ground movment there is up and down.
Most ships for odd reasons didnt have this, wether for style or to make navy ships better is unknown.

"Okay jack" Richard said over the COM "Ready to roll?"

"Righto!" Jack said hurriedly "And might i add what nice ships you have!"

"Thanks" Richard said smiling "Oh as you most likley know we may have to blow our way out to
kepler!"

"If they attack us they do" Jack said "But if so then we ahve a little ass to kick!"

A good addition...

of course you included Russians somewhere
