Earth -launching site-
4 days after meeting the man
Terry had gathered several supplies needed for this trip. Their destination was Mars, but they will be making several stops at colonies along the way. "Mister, you gave me $50,000, I expect the other half once we get to Mars right" Terry asked. "Sure you will" Billy answered while patting Terry on the Back. Apparently he was escorting classified materials from Earth to Mars, the job seem simple enough. What strikes Terry however, was the fact he had been the only one hired tho, usually mercs work in groups, he felted more like a bodyguard but aye $100,000 isn't easy to come by.
After assisting the man with the final preparations, Terry hop into ASTRA, and look at the scenery... it was truly beautiful and he had a strange feeling he wouldn't see such scenery like this in a while. "Terry, I'm all ready, we are cleared for takeout to" yelled Billy. Billy was piloting a transport vehicle which had two containers attached. Said containers were about 12 meters long and 7 meters wide. Terry did wonder what he was transporting, but it's to none of his concerned. He had a job to do and that takes priority.
"Prepare for liftoff"
Terry released the braking system, push several buttons and finally flick on the thrusters. Billy proceeded to do the necessaries with his vehicle and then they were off towards space.
Space - 5 hours after takeoff -
Terry was busy napping as ASTRA was on auto-piloted, it was right beside Billy as they proceeded to the nearest Colony which would take them a few hours. Apparently Billy had set-up a more preferred mode of traveling at the colony.
