Rescue Squad One received a transportation beacon for someone stranded at Security Post Kareah, an orbital space station. The commander of the squad, Captain Nova, waited with his Cutlass Red as the other members of the squad arrived.

"Alright team, we've got a stranded person near Security Post Kareah," Captain Nova said. "We need to move in quickly and get them out of there."

The team nodded and prepared for the quantum jump. They flew towards the space station, their engines roaring as they navigated through the vast expanse of space.

(Meanwhile at Security Post Kareah)

The stranded person at Security Post Kareah watched as multiple ships kept popping into their radar, a total of seven fighters. They cursed under their breath and turned their ship to peel away.

"Shit!" they yelled.

Rescue Squad One followed them, trying to ask if they needed assistance. But the truth was revealed that the stranded person did not need help. They were waiting in a Vanguard Warden, ready to attack what they thought would be one rescue ship.

"Do you need assistance?" Captain Nova asked over the radio.

"No, I'm fine," the stranded person replied, their voice dripping with sarcasm.

The crew of Rescue Squad One was confused, unsure of what to do. They requested permission to attack the Vanguard Warden, but Captain Nova denied the request.

"We're not here to cause harm," he said firmly to the squad.

Then Captain Nova addressed the pilot of the Vanguard Warden, "But I will warn you, never try something like this again. We won’t hesitate next time."

The stranded person grumbled and flew away. Rescue Squad One watched them go, relieved that they were able to defuse the situation without any casualties.

"Let's rendezvous at HUR-L1," Captain Nova said, satisfied with a job well done. "Good work, team."

The squad followed their captain back to base, ready for their next mission.
