The door slammed, echoing down the long hall. Already at a full run, I rounded the sharp corridor and in one movement stripped my shirt off and threw it down on the metallic tile. There wasn't a second to waste if I was to make the hyper jump in time to catch up to the Cardinal and neutralize him before he could do any more damage to the already tenuous bond between the Jovian clans. I had been tracking and following this bastard for weeks and was now so close I could smell him. I quickly slid into my EVA suit and jumped in the cockpit of the Lamp. While plugging the serum drill into its receptacle in my forearm, I punched in the coordinates for Amalthea and braced myself - this wasn't going to be pleasant..

The feeling was always the same: like rising rapidly from the bottom of a boiling sea. You could literally feel your molecules dilating in time as they tried to compensate for the faster than light speed of the Lamp drive. I vomited aggressively, the price paid for the six hundred million kilometer time bending journey, before opening the cockpit and stepping out into the bleak Amalthean landscape.

I only saw the Cardinal for a brief second before the first bullet hit me. As I went down the bastard hit me again but not before i was able to pull the trigger of my own weapon. The Cardinal's chest plate was no match for the large caliber slug. He went down awkwardly and didn't get up.
My tension eased. I looked up at the swirling clouds of the Jovian giant, "there" I said to myself "it's done".
