Suno was not exactly pleased by these developments. They were walking into a situation of sure military inferiority without any guarantee from the ESA that they were still being backed. For all they knew, the planet's defense forces could be planning to destroy the Vigilance as it came down, maybe as a favor to the ESA. And then, think of all the fuel that was about to be wasted in this de-orbiting maneuver. Whatever, Suno wasn't paying, but still.

As for starting a war, Suno was pretty sure they wouldn't be much of an issue, for him at least. He rarely was the first one to start things. And even if something did go badly, Suno was pretty sure he'd be dead. The consequences really didn't matter to him at all.

Accordingly, Suno's line of thinking was not exactly positive as he walked down to his room and then the hangar. He inspected all of his weapons and equipped himself as best he could, ran a diagnostic test on his ship, and checked the results over manually. He walked back up to the ship's exit near the bridge, nervously tapping his fingers on his pistol. He stared at the airlock door, occasionally checking the readings of the altimeter in his hud.

"I have a bad feeling about this," he announced to no one in particular.
