Greatly outnumbered by a secret alliance. - triple88a - 06-30-2009
It was an early mourning right after dawn, I will never foget the day, I was woken up by the sirens. The sky was bright red and the sun was creeping up
above the clouds. I looked out the window to find men lining up. A second later, a loud knock followed. There stood a young man with a letter in his hand.
:Captain, this is from Fleet Admiral John Moyeva. This is code red.
I took the letter.
"Captain, At 6:42, An outcast battleship was detected on long range scanners entering Omicron Gamma. We need you and your men. Currently we do not have the
fire power to fight a battleship. My men are spread out throughout couple systems, we must give them time to get here. Captain Tripster, I will have my men
get your dreadnought ready for takeoff as soon as possible. We do not have any time to waste.
God Speed and good luck to us all
Fleet Admiral
John Moyeva."
I looked back up at the young man "How many more envelopes do you have in your hand?"
The man quickly answered, "One more captain" and he ran off to deliver it.
I quickly went back, got ready and went to the launchpad where my men were doing the final check on the ship.
As soon as we filled up, we launched to space.
Outcast pilot: Corsairs it is time to settle this once and for all!!!
PA: "Torpedoes detected. Men this clearly says it, this is not a peaceful visit. Hold your position, do not drop your guard even for a second, some of these
outcasts have been fighting ever since you were little kids. They are expert pilots. We need to hold it together until our men get back from patrolling the other omicron systems. We are too spread apart. Whatever you do, do not let them get to you. We will have backup soon."
CoCptn: Captain what are our orders? What is our strategy?
: Every one, go to your stations and wait for my order to fire. Take out the big ships first. Save the mortars until you know you have the shot. As soon as the big ships are down, we can go for the bombers. The solaris guns should take care of them. Safe the fighters for last. How many enemies do we have on scanners?"
CoCptn: Many sir and more keep entering the system.
: We have no time to waste, men fire missiles at the gunboat to the right. The rest of you, focus the firepower at the battleship. I want every single Kilowatt fired.
***BOOOOOOMMM, THE SHIP SHAKES ****
Co: Captain, we we've been hit by a torpedo, No damage to the hull however our shields will take few seconds to recharge fully.
: Whats the status on that gunboat?
Co: The shields are down sir and it's on fire.
: Fire another set of missiles, lets make him remember this trip.
***The gunboat leaves a big fireball***
Co: Captain, the gunboat is down.
: Very good, now lets take that battleship down. Bomber Pilots, Warm up your missiles and get ready to fire at the battleship, wait for my order. We need him to fall as soon as possible and minimize the damage.
Co: Battleship is closing to fire range Captain
: Very good, Bombers missiles away.
Co: A mortar closing in captain, swaying left to avoid it.
***Mortar dodged***
: Men, fire away as soon as you have a shot at that battleship. This it the time to shine guys, show me what you have learned in the past years. Zone 1 and 2, fire mortars at 1k distance.
Polot: Captain, the Torpedos have sucessfully hit the target.
Co: Mortars fired, *Holds breath* Both mortars hit, his shield is down.
: Heavy guns, fire away. Zone 1 and 2, fire mortars as soon as they cool down enough to refire.
Co: Another mortar sir, We cannot avoid it, we are too close to avoid it. ALL HOLD ON TIGHT!!!
***BOOOOOOMMM, THE SHIP SHAKES ****
Co: Captain, that was a heavy mortar, our shields are down and the enemy is beginning to fire heavy guns.
: Fire all guns at enemy, we have to get him down as soon as possible. His left engine is puffing out green smoke.
Co: The enemy is using nanobots to repair the damage.
: Zone 1, Fire mortar now. Heavy guns do not stop, keep firing.
Co: The enemy is using shield batteries to charge up their shields and they fired another mortar.
***BOOOOOOMMM, THE SHIP SHAKES ****
: Zone 2, fire mortar. Co Captain, send nanobots to repair the damage.
Co: Our hull is 100% captain, the enemys shields are down again.
: Fire, keep firing. All available bombers, fire another round of torpedos at the target.
Polot: Missiles away.
Co: our enemy just used their last nanobots and shield batteries, this is it for them.
Polot: 4 out of 6 torpedos have succesfully hit.
Co: Enemys shields are down sir
: Zone 1 and 2, fire mortars when energy permits.
Co: Captain, our hull is 50%. Bombers are closing in and making their attempt at us.
: Whats the status on my mortars? Use shield batteries!!! Light guns, fire at the torpedos. We need to destroy them.
Zone 2: Mortar fired
Zone 1: Mortar 90% carged, almost ready to fire.
Zone 1: Mortar fired. The target is beginning to crack
***BOOOOOOMMM, THE SHIP SHAKES ****
: What is our status?
Co: We have 796 nanobots and 452 shield batteries, our hull is 69%, our shields are just under 50% from the bombers run.
***BOOOOOOMMM, THE SHIP SHAKES ****
: All pilots, attack bombers. Zone 1, 2 and Heavy guns seize fire, Light guns, now its your turn, show the enemy what you can do.
Co: Captain, more enemy ships are en route to Omicron Gamma.
: What is the status on our backup?
Zone 16: A bomber down captain
Co: Our backup is about to jump to gamma from Omicron 41.
: Very good, our pilots are almost here, whats the word on the outcast pilots?
Co: for every pilot we shoot down, 2 more enter Gamma Captain, we are currently outnumbered by over half a dozen.
Backup pilot: We're now jumping to Gamma. ETA 4 minutes 35 seconds to battle.
Red hessian pilot: Hello Corsairs, I hope we are not interrupting something,
Pilot: actually you are, we are in a battle with the Outcasts now.
Red Hessian pilot: We know, thats why we are here.
Backup pilot: Red Hessian on our scanners, hiding in the Gredos cloud.!!!! Must be at least half a dozen.
Red Hessian pilot: We are here to join the fight.
Pilot: an alliance now?
***Red Hessians join the battle, Corsair backup of about half a dozen also joins the battle***
Co: That's it? That's our backup? We are clearly outnumbered by nearly twice as many fighters and another Outcast battleship just entered Gamma.
: Men fight with all you have, we need to do everything possible.
***Sees a corsair pilot with no nano bots or shield batteries*** ***Sends as many as his ship would take***
Pilot: Thank you Captain!!!
: Any time pilot, lets hope you don't need them.
***A corsair pilot falls***
: Unfortunately i didn't see him to send him Nanobots ***Hits the chair***
***CoCaptain looks down angry as well.****
:Fire missiles!!!
***BOOOOMMM, an outcast pilot goes down as well***
Co: Captain, the battleship is closing in.
: Men get ready, Outcast battleship closing in. Seize fire on Light guns, Heavy guns, fire at the battleship!!! Zone 1 and 2, wait for the battleship to
close in to 1.5k and fire then. Bombers fire missiles at the battleship!!!
Co: Battleship is beginning to fire all his guns at us also 2 Incoming mortars. Swaying left......
***BOOOOOOMMM, THE SHIP SHAKES ****
Co: Both mortars hit us captain and our shields are down.
Zone 1: mortar fired and hit
Zone 2: mortar fired and hit, shields are down.
Co: Our hull is going down fast with every one firing at us, what do we do?
: Do as much damage to the battleship as possible. Lets take him to hell with us!!! Fire both mortars, NOW!!!
Co: Captain we are down to 19% hull and I see 2 mortars coming in.
: Use shield batteries quick!!!
Co: shield is up 31%
***BOOOOOOMMM, THE SHIP SHAKES ****
Co: shield is down again captain.
: Use remaining nano bots.
Co: hull is up to 43% sir, we are out of nano bots and shield batteries.
: Roger sir. Zone 2, Light guns and missile control, abandon ship NOW!!! To the escape pods. Zone 1 and heavy gun control, get ready to abandon ship on my
order!!!
Co: Incoming mortar captain, our hull cannot take it.
: ABANDON SHIP NOW!!!
Outcast pilot: Hahaha look at that, The Corsair dreadnought is going down.
I look out the escape pod and i see another mortar closing in.
: aaaaagggghhh my pod is stuck.
***BOOOOOOMMM, THE SHIP SHAKES out of control and fire starts spreading thought it***
From the enormous blast of the mortar, with out anything shielding me, I passed out from the shock. I dont know how long I was out but I woke up in a
hospital room with my coe captain laying on a bed across the room beat up and nearly in a full body cast. I guess he must have gotten **** hard by the
mortar as well.
Soon after i passed out again and woke up to Fleet Admiral Moyeva standing by my side.
: What happened Admiral?
Moyeva: We do not know, when we got there there were couple wrecks in space that had drifted near the maldava cloud and everything else was empty.
: What happened with the last letter?
Moyeva: The man was found unconscious on the ground. The doctors believe some one attempted to murder him by poisoning his food. Now get some rest. We need
you out there again as soon as possible. Your crew will be fine. Every one made it out alive.
: Thank you Admiral.
