As Uriel finished his sentence, Zion's eyes lit up.
'That's right,' he thought, nodding. 'If they destroy our ship, Koru will no doubt die, and they won't earn anything.'
He paused for a moment. 'And fighting in person on Heliax gives us a chance.'
Now there was only one thing left to do. Zion looked over at the hologram, clenching his fist as he cleared his throat.
"I've made a decision," he said, voice firm.
"About time," the female voice responded coldly.
"I will not be handing him over," Zion said.
Before the female on the other end could respond, he continued.
"If you want to capture him alive, come and get him at Planet Heliax."
The female remained silent for a moment, the silence heavy.
Finally, she responded with a cold voice. "If it is your wish to die, so be it."
With that, the call disconnected, and the hologram disappeared.
Zion stared out the window, locking eyes with the enemy weapon systems, his fingers crossed.
