By The Fires of a Jovian Storm

Unbeknown to Commander Wotan, SWORD's breakaway SPACEX unit had sent their own Shuttle-Surveyor mission to salvage their Nuclear Freighter. Worth millions of Creds, it was imperative the craft be brought back by thier Commander, Soph Toad. The crew were most likely flotsam anyway! The SpaceX Surveyor crawled over the likely wreck zone like a bottom feeder.

With both the Task Force 1 and Surveyor equipped with advanced DNA tracking tech, the two missions arrived at the sunken Freighter NF2 simultaneously. Commanders Wotan and Toad eyed each other up before the inevitable showdown of Project SWORD and the SpaceX rogue. 

At that moment there was a huge explosion. The storms of Jupiter erupted and a gigantic flare plumed out over Io like a blow torch stripping it of its surface water. The seas evaporated into space as a blue spray eventually turning to nothing.

Everything and anything floating in the Ionian sea was flung into space. The NF2 vanished. Task Force 1 was spinning out of control. Wotan slammed the eject button and was thrown into the flaming air. Only the SpaceX Surveyor, with it's anti-gravity wheels, held fast. Commander Toad saw Wotan on the red-hot ground, helpless and reeling in agony. She acted. Within minutes she was lifting the stricken SWORD Commander as the once beautiful Moon of Io continued to burn.
