"Maybe this doesn't have to be goodbye..." Sh'kar says as he hands them all a communication device. "More of a see you around. If any of us need serious help, we just click on this button and a signal will active on all four communicators."
"Thank you Sh'kar. It's been a hell of a ride guys," Fury says with a smile.
"No way! Everybody seeing this? Fury's smiling!" Dex yells out excitedly.
The team all laugh as Raygan walks up to them. "Dex, as a token of my appreciation, I want to give you something." He says taking Dex over to the view port and points to a massive ship. "She's all yours. You sacrificed your life to help me, it's only fair I give you something in return."
"Thank you, she's beautiful" Dex replies.
"She's the toughest and fastest ship we've got. She's even fitted with a chip that can interface with yours. What will you name her?" Raygan asks.
Dex takes a second to think. "The Prowler."
Epilogue
In the next few months, so much has happened. The cargo ships make it safely to the Esos system and has made the planets thrive again. Due to the large supplies sent by Raygan's administration, the war over famine, on those poverty stricken worlds, was brought to a halt. New farming equipment and livestock is brought in so these deprived worlds could have a chance to stand as independent. For a time there was there was no more people starving in the streets. No more countless deaths over food and supplies. The organisation that hired The White Tigers has crumbled. The Ambassador travels to other poor economic systems in need. For a moment there is peace in Esos.
What of Dex and his team?
Hotshot travels the galaxy as a hired gun, enjoying his freedom.
Fury travels to Halfe World to help free the people being experimented on in Halfe Corp.
Sh'kar set off to Shiron to claim the throne and set his people free from his step fathers tyranny and make technology legal again.
Dex travels the galaxy slowly adding numbers to his new peace keeping force. With the help of Sh'kar, before he leaves, they build better upgrades to Dex's suit. They also build a large mechanoid suit as well as drones and attack bots. All are interfaced with a microprocessor so Dex can control them with his mind, using the Vicor chip.
Back on the Ambassadors ship in the cryo cells, White lays in his chamber frozen. His arms wrapped across his chest. Around his neck sits a chain with a sliver wolf emblem attached. White slowly starts to move one of his fingers closer to the emblem as his eyes open.
