The five hundred and thirteen meter long bulk of the ISV Hussar hid as quietly as it could in a nebulae, hoping to escape the predatory shape of the Red Horizon. It wasn't going to work very well - not at these distances. It was only a matter of time... or was it? 

The Hussar had already been found.

"Bossii. Think we can hide?"

"We're three klicks away. We're not hiding for very long, Chi."

"...can Chi shoot?"

"We'll see, Chi...i sure as fuck hope not."

The Hussar lurked cold and as dead as space around it, running the bare minimum - life support, some communications. Just enough to manage the three sensor drones.

"Helm. Once they're about a click away, fire the engines. Let's see if we can't give these guys the run around."

"Da kaptain."

"One point five klicks, kaptain. Firing jets to escape course." 

The Hussar's cold-gas maneuvering jets opened valves deep within the ship, and slowly it rotated directly onto a vector directly away from the Red Horizon. Unfortunately, that just happened to expose the still cooling heat radiators.

"Captain! дерьмо! Forgot about heat vanes-"

Thanks for this little story, I'll have to comment in detail. Working on a certain Sovreign 3d model at the moment, though. :U
