The Second Hunt

Meanwhile, on the large screen above Hyker's position, Aios displays a graphic depiction of the Planet Saturn itself, complete with all its ring systems. On Ring E—which is the outermost ring of Saturn's ring system—the thin, pseudo-circle is shown in pale green.

There is one other image in the path of the Ring E, Enceladus. The sixth-largest natural satellite of Saturn is shown in light gray. And near Enceladus was another object that Aios brought out, with a red flashing color.

"Close to Enceladus," said Aios.

Hyker looked at the large screen above him. "Are you sure it's a hunter plane? Or are they just ordinary ships that want to harvest water-ice instead?"

"Positive," said Aios. "One of the two hunter planes that previously chased our ship."

"Damn it!" Hyker muttered. "Even they chased us all the way here."

Then the door opened, and Captain Dharma stepped into the cockpit. "What happened?"
