Friends in High Places

Friends in High Places is the 2nd episode in Earth-Link: Zero.

Plot
It is two months after Episode 1, and we see Zero preparing for shore leave when Admiral James "Maverick" Thorak calls him. Zero, knowing this was important, accepted the call, and exchanged greetings.

Thorak told Zero he had another mission to complete. Zero accepted on one condition: getting his crew from the Leviathan under his command.

Later, Zero walks into the bridge of his new ship, the EE Spitfire. He feels comfortable in the captain's chair. Only seconds after he sits down, Catscratch and Meatbag enter the bridge. They exchange greetings with Zero, and Meatbag tells Zero that Aiden signed on for the Earth Empire Military, and that he will be giving orders to First Officer Warren Glomt instead.

The EE Spitfire launches from its berth and goes through the Earth-Link, and Thorak gives the new crew the mission specifications. They are to capture a prototype ship inside Skregg Territory.

However, just as they are about to reach their target, they receive a distress call inside Skregg Teritory. It's Aiden!

Zero orders Catscratch to turn the ship around, but Warren says not to do it. Zero argues he should do it, but Warren still refuses to listen. Zero tells him if he argues one more time, he will be put in the brig. Zero orders Catscratch to turn it around, but Warren STILL refuses. Zero orders security to take him away.

Catscratch is ordered, for the final time, to set course for Aiden's position, and he does so.
