"This is Starman David Foster in Eagle City."
"A large force of pirates has landed...."
"Traitors have locked down the city...."
"Numbers... unknown...."
"Purpose... unknown...."
"I will be unable to make further contact...."
One rebellion. One Starman.
David "Zip" Foster is the Starman assigned to Eagle City on Mars. The traitors have him outmanned, outgunned, and on the run. Control of the entire planet is within their grasp. All they have to do is neutralize the lone Starman assigned to Eagle City. After all, how much damage can one man do, even a Starman?
They don't know that Starlight Enterprise is sending two more Starmen to back him up.
The pirates don't stand a chance.
This is the future. The way it used to be.
