Retrieval Record 0011: 208th Solar Day — Winterberg, Kahler Asten, Europe

The bounty hunter gives the refugees in the covered truck another once-over and decides not to waste any more time. He grabs the woman sitting closest to the outside by the hair and pulls her from the vehicle.

"Don't play games with me, ya hear?!" He shoves the barrel of his Hand Cannon into her temple, nearly pushing her face into the ground. The people in the truck shriek, but the other bounty hunter standing off to the side kicks the tire, and they fall silent, save for someone's quiet whimpers.

"One of you better start talkin'," one of the bounty hunters threatens. He notices a pool of liquid spreading toward his boots and looks at the petrified woman. He backs away slightly. "Where is it?"

"I have it." A woman in the covered truck suddenly stands with her back hunched. This makes the bounty hunters outside the truck somewhat nervous. The Exo tries to hold her back, but the bounty hunter hits her with the stock of his gun. The woman on the ground is terrified as she shakes her head. Tears are streaming down her face as she cries, "Yuki, no! Please don—"

The bounty hunter slaps her, eliciting another suppressed cry from the people in the truck.

"Shh, darling. You'd best quiet down. Let me and your friend here finish our little transaction."

He turns and approaches the woman who just leapt down from the truck. His shoulders sway with a sense of pride.

"Hand it over then. I won't ask twice."

The woman nods and signals for him to come closer. The bag she's clutching has the bounty hunter wary.

Just as he opens his mouth to warn her not to make any wrong moves, everyone hears two shots, and the two bounty hunters fall to the yellow soil with incredulous looks on their faces.

The refugees erupt in a clamor of suppressed screams once more, but this time, many people stand up. Some of the bolder among them peek out from the truck in an attempt to figure out what just happened.

Three figures wearing brown cloaks are charging toward the truck. The one at the front has a gun in one hand, but is waving at them with the other. "Everyone, stay calm! You're safe!" With this said, they give a "caution" gesture to one of their companions.

The third cloaked figure helps the woman on the ground up. He looks to her teary eyes, then to the other woman holding the bag, and lets out a sigh of relief. He solemnly slings his rifle over his shoulder and opens his arms to show that he has no ill intentions. "Ms. Yuki, we're here to save you. If you don't mind, could you please remove your hand from the safety pin of the grenade in your bag?"

Yuki stares flabbergasted at the man, then slowly nods her head and gently places the bag on the ground. "How do you know me?"

"Please give me a chance to explain everything, Ms. Yuki," he says. "Although we're…um, here for the gun, just like those two on the ground… I promise you, we're doing this to save more lives—" He takes out a teapot and gives it to her, trying his best to show that they come in peace. "—more than you could ever imagine."
