Ghost of Krugis
There weren't nearly as many ghost stories about Krugis as there might have been. More than anything, it was due to the fact that no one wanted to go there. It was a dead, dead place, and Neil wasn't entirely sure from the pictures that he'd seen of the ruins that ghosts would want anything to do with it at all. It would explain that certain void a lot better than respect. There was barely enough of that to go around without bringing the place into it.
It wasn't somewhere that Neil Dylandy ever thought that he'd go, because there was simply no reason to. No one went there, for that same reason. There was nothing there. The fact made the story he heard make a little more sense though. Rumors of a mobile suit sighted there, something not quite the same as the other wrecks. A much newer model, from the sound of things. He wanted to talk to that pilot he'd faced again, to get an actual answer out of them. If there were any answers left in the world at all. The place that no one went would be as good of a place as any to hide a Mobile Suit for a while, wouldn't it?
Going there was easier than trying to figure out where Celestial being might go next, in any case. Keeping out of a current war zone was in his better favor, anyway. He shouldn't have been in the Mobile Suit he'd 'borrowed' at all, let alone flying it, and his body protested, his chest more than the rest of it. Not that it helped that he'd taken a unit that had been ready for the junk pile, that he had to fight like hell with to get moving. It moved though, and flew, and that was all that he needed.
When he finally reached Krugis, he had at least an idea of where to head. A set of coordinates that he was very thankful for in the circumstances. Having to scan the entire place would have had the heap that he was flying on the ground before he'd even started.
Instead though, it wasn't long at all before he spotted what he'd come there for, and he kept his eyes on it as he headed to the ground. The unit was unarmed, and so was he, but the closer he came the more apparent it became that it didn't matter. Once he had a good look at it, he knew without a doubt that it wasn't the same model that had attacked his base. But he was already there, and whatever it was still wasn't anything that he'd ever seen, and he needed some time out of the relic of a suit he'd been flying, so he opened his cockpit.
