[h3]Aboard the ‘Claw Loa’[/h3][/center]
[hr]

The Claw Loa, which Patricia is flying was docked at a Terran Republic Station called the Diamandis Refueling Station. Patricia had to go through the routine of contraband checks because of how strained the relationship is that the Terran Republic have with the Dread Claws. The Space Superiority Fighter had to go through three hours worth of contraband checks. She could handle the checks since this specific Claw Loa was equipped without any contraband weapon systems. One of the station operation’s officers, walked up to Patricia and smiled towards her, which it was pretty exhausting in looking over the entire starship without finding anything wrong. The officer was a female vulpine, which was worried about the Dread Claw’s movements. [b]”We’ve checked your Claw Loa for hours on hours, found nothing of important… Guess you can leave but on one condition, where is the Tiger Vol? Also my name is Ashley.”[/b] Ashley said, with a worried look on her face.

Patricia looked at Ashley with a bit of a smile back but couldn’t help but laugh a bit. [color=FFB6C1]”You should know Grant more than me. The Tiger Vol, Raider Carrier is everywhere but nowhere. That’s what all agents of the Dread Claws say.”[/color] Patricia said, with a slight obvious look to her its obvious, no single person knows where the Tiger Vol is at one time. However, with that answer is obvious would make the Operations Officer worried or what not. Before, she waved towards Ashley and giving her a wink of her eyes. She was finished with her coffee, since she definitely needed it. The other thing she got up from where she was sitting and decided to go to the Space Superiority Fighter, the Claw Loa.

The Claw Loa, was allowed to leave the Diamandis Refueling Station. Grant gave her a flight plan to reach the Edge of Delaron System without being scanned by anymore ‘Terran Republic Starships’ or stations. It was a highly dangerous route to get to the Delaron System, it was called [i]’Suicidal Route of the Claws.’[/i] She looked over the route plans and sighed at the whole thing. It would be suicide to go through with it, she’s not as reckless as Grant is. However, it was nice to learn that the Claw Loa Superiority Fighter came with an FTL, which probably requires to recharge after use. [color=FFB6C1][i]”I’m not that suicidal like the other Dread Claws… but if it wasn’t for them… I wouldn’t have this Claw Loa. I wonder how Grant does it with his Tiger Vol?”[/i][/color] Patricia thought to herself. She had an oddly confused look on her face, why did he specifically gave her this route unless he knew her better than anyone else. It probably is the reason why he approached her with a deal she couldn’t refuse. The Raider Carrier’s movements is beyond her since he keeps its location a secret from anyone who doesn’t need to know more.

Patricia had a smoother time in space than on the Diamandis Refueling Station, since she was given clearance to go through the Gate. The Claw Loa’s FTL system activated like all other ships going through a Gate into Hyperspace, however, it would take awhile for her to reach the Edge of Delaron System. It would take about five minutes longer than larger vessels, since the Claw Loa’s FTL system is built for safety over speed. Specifically for Patricia’s Claw Loa’s, which is a bit odd. She had sometime to think about her meeting with Grant and him giving her this vessel, which is a Prototype. It is testing the safety features on the Hyperdrive and weapon systems. She always wanted to fly any kind of space fighter or bomber so she definitely picked this Claw Loa, it was customized to her standards within it but outside of it, has the standard Dread Claw Colors, which are black, white and green.

Twenty minutes passed when the Claw Loa came out of hyperspace and through the gate on the edge of the Delaron System. However, the Hyperdrive System needed to be recharged, which gives Patricia a blinking light saying the FTL system is offline until it is fully recharged. She sighed, which caused her to wonder if this was the so called Safety feature on the Hyperdrive. [color=FFB6C1]”God damn it… Guess it could be worse. I wonder if there’s any starships in the area?”[/color] Patricia asked to herself, with a sigh.
