You take off from the hangar after they have all the metal cylinders containing hydrogen brought to your ship, which you you then put in your storage area. You fly away from the city, over landscape mostly composed of dry savannas, barren deserts, and brown hills for roughly an hour at your low speeds until your computer shows that the border is ten kilometers away. You slow down as you see the border checkpoint, a complex of walls, fences, towers, and domes. The main dome appears to be the hangar, so you get in line and wait to enter the checkpoint. About ten minutes later, you are able to land in the hangar, where two soldiers and an inspector board your ship, look around, and check your storage before they get out. However, just as they go down the elevator and you are cleared to go, an explosion rocks the hangar. "Stay in your ship!" the inspector shouts at you, shortly followed by a sharp whining noise as bullets fly through the air. You rush back into the cockpit just in time to see the hangar doors close, and you get a general feel of the battlefield as well—Retans dressed in civilian clothing are firing at the Peltanian soldiers. It looks like their are maybe three ships full of Retans, firing from the boarding ramp or under their ships, and the explosion was a control center to the left. What do you want to do now?
The yellow dots are Retan, the blue are Peltanian, and you are in the lower left ship.
