Mission Five: Conclusion

[voidtreckermods]

The Voidtreckers turn the tide, save the day. That isn't to say it is easy or straightforward, the battles are tough but together Red Team prevents the mega weapon getting through, orange team maintain shields, blue team fend off those trying to attack the command centre and purple fight the battle of their lives.

The system is safe and everyone who hasn't already evacuated back to the train using their SCA can gather on the space station again. There is a roar of noise as the Void Trecker Express appears in the hanger once more, noise and wind rushing through their hair it is no mystery why the army here reacted in shock at their initial arrival.

Hitrinto is there, as are many of those the void treckers have met in their week in this system. Here to thank them for their timely rescue and to wave them off.

The voidtreckers as well are reunited, the four teams back as one and it is time to re-board the Voidtrecker Express and move on to the next adventure!

"So what, is this just my life now? An endless series of desperate battles with nothing to show for it but a pat on the back and a cramped room on a train!?"

He looks at her with considerable sympathy. "It might depend on how you think of it. It's true, you didn't ask for any of this. You were chosen to be a Void Warrior and not asked for your permission. And yet. . . have you ever noticed in your own world, how little our lives have to do with choice and how much to do with chance? I sometimes think that the art of living is about taking advantage of chance events and trying to learn from them. I know this must sound like a cliché. And yet, my life has improved since I began to think like that. I don't know if my saying this is useful to you."

"The train grabbed me without asking. I'm assigned a room to sleep in I can't change. I'm assigned chores I get penalized for not doing. I'm assigned missions without being consulted. I can't influence where the train goes. I don't have any control over any significant part of my life here!"

She was practically shouting now. "There's leaving things to chance, and then there's being reduced to a cog in a machine!"

"Yes, it's a little like being in a jail!" agreed Curufin. "I totally understand your frustration. It would be a lot better if we had a lot more choices. It would also be better if the train entity actually asked people if they wanted to be on this train instead of just kidnapping them."

He kept his voice low and calm. "We are rather like cogs in a machine. I can see it, yes."
