Deep into Edge nebula, osiris warship passing though asteroid fleet. From dense darkness of ominous green nebula fighter squad appeared. Docking bay opened allowing them for dock, hangar deck staffed up with engineers fixing up snubcrafts. Two fighters landed and immediately get caught by a officer requesting them to report at command centre. Passing though corridors seeing crew busy with their daily objectives they reached to command center. Two marines standing at doors recognized them and let pilots in. Command centre was like conference room but is intended to plan strategic movements and discuss mission objectives with other commanders. Place is dark , light is coming mainly from sensor screens and other control panels. Pilots aproached few Order officers and saluted.
'Lieutenant Jenkins reporting from recon mission.'
Officers saluted back and returned to other duties with exception of one, highest ranked ' commodore Golanski. He invites them to holo-room and speaks.
'I heard you found something worth a interest lieutenant.'
Pilots nods and one of them answers
'Yes, we found a big squid sir. Managed to got visual on it and locate it. That's a battleship sized one.'
Holographic map of system appears, not one of common known. Omicron-54 name appears and location of mentioned battleship marked on 3d map. One dieing star and one freezing desert planet on edge of system, with jumphole within it's gravity well labbeled 'Omicron-92'. Golanski nods and speaks:
'How that thing managed to get past our scouts? We need to take it down.'
Pilot adds:
'Jumphole is stable, for few next days and support battleship class ships. Only way to get so far at our backs had to be backdoor somewhere in nomad systems.'
Golanski looks on both map of 92 and 54. After studying it he dismissed pilots and picked up comms.
'XO, I need list of all available pilots, bombers apreciated. I need full personel ASAP.'
* Half of hour later *
Golanski is at SiC, comm officer gives him a report. Reading it up, he notices name 'Rika Dimitrova, New York'. List is short but he recalls few of other names. Noding he looks at Scott, his XO and speaks:
'That's everyone?'
Scott answers him
'Yes sir, these are only one free available. Rest pilots and commanders are busy everywhere else..'
Golanski thinks and gives a order.
'Call them all in, ETA on their arrival? Also is there any capital ship able to assist us?'
XO denies.
'Everyone busy, either with that crazy bunch of dreadonughts in Delta, BHG forces all over, on their own mission or fighting back LSF and Aoi Isein forces.'
Golanski looks on report about Omicron 54 and sighs.
'We will get full fighter and bomber wing capacity but I am afraid we do not have enough firpower. Call them in, I will need to discuss how to deal with this threat and what are our chances of success'
Little osiris, one of best capital ships existing is still not able to deal with full power of Marduk, as nomad battleship sized vessels were named.
* New York system *
In cloud of dark matter single Nephthys passing through asteroid field. Rika received transmission, that was unusual from Golanski. She setted course for Omicron Minor for now not unaware of full scale of situation. It take her long time to get in but she hasn't alerted anyone on her way in. Docking on Sajuuk, Golanski's osiris noticed full squadron of fighters and bombers ready for action. Walking to CiC she see Golanski with few other pilots already talking.
'Sorry I am late.'
They notice Rika. Golanski speaks:
'It's nothing commander, seems we are grounded for now anyway.'
She aproaches table filled up with guncams, reports and tactical maps. She ask:
'Why? What is the situation?
He points at guncam of nomad battleship
'Big, fat squid and we do not have enough firepower to bring it down. All capital ships are engaged in other tasks and Omicron Minor is crawling with enemies, had to deal with two core wings already. And if we do not stop that marduk, it can stab us in a back while we are not expecting it.'
Points at Omicron-92 system map.
'If it comes through THIS system, we will NOT detect it. Sensor interferance is so strong we will find out about it's movement when it will be too late to react fast enough. That marduk got enormous ammounts of firepower, far bigger than Sajuuk posses. And i can't get more support, everything around is a warzone actualy.'
Rika wonders and adds:
'Situation critical you say? Can you cover whole battleship while moving it through Omicron Minor perhaps? I got a plan...'
He looks on her.
'Where from you are going to get a battleship from?'
* few minutes later *
'I am crazy to agree on it.'
Golanski added but Rika tell him to chill out.
'That's a common threat, and if there is going to be a trouble I am going to deal with it personaly...'
Comm officer signals all green. Golanski thinks and says:
'Your call commander.'
* Connection established, LNS-Pacifica located *
Rika types in her comms details, hoping commanding officer is onboard. Comm officer pinpointed destination location. 'Colorado sector B6' appears. She takes up comms and speaks.
'Georgi I am currently on the Sajuuk in the Omicron 92 I need you and the Pacifica with
us I know its a crazy request but we really do need you. I need you. If you hear this move
towards the Minor hole in Alaska a ship will meet you there and will take you to our possiosion.
Georgi I am also Attaching docking access codes for the Sajuuk in case of problems with ships IFF.
Respond when you hear this. Love you!'
Golanski hears to it and as Rika finishes message and send it ask her:
'You sure there will be no complications? That's a liberty dreadnought. I don't know if I can trust him in that matter'
[font=Arial Narrow]LNS-Pacifica, Colorado system Sector 6B
The crew of the Pacifica have their new mission sence they were pulled off from the Texas Defence fleet after the Big siege of Hudson. The crew was calm every one were doing their job Georgi was in his quitters over looking reports and Looking at the pictures of him and Rika on his desk.
He sighted and moved aside the documents he took one of the pictures were Georgi and Rika were on a port sea port behind them the sunset and Rika is kissing him by the cheek. He smiled in relive that he will go home soon and hug his wife and kiss her when he gets back.
30 minutes lather Andrea the first officer of the Pacifica entered and told Georgi that there was a transmission from him from Rika it was on a priority Chanel. Georgi stood up and went to the command bridge and his comm officer showed him the transmission. After he heard what the transmission was about he was a little shocked to know that Rika is on the most dangerous place in Sirius and on the hunt for nomads. He called his senior Officers to debate.
Georgi : Well my fellow officers I have received a call for support from my wife. You are all aware for who she works for and what does she do for a living. I have been asked to take the Pacifica to Minor were we will intercept the Order ship Sajuuk. She didn't give me any other information then the rv location and thet she needs our help.
Andrea: Wait wait you want to go to Minor on a operation that is under the command of the Order not to say that they cant be trusted with anything. I bet its a a trap to set up the Pacifica to get in to enemy's hands on her.
Georgi: Andrea they are going to move to attack anyway and she will be a part of it I wont gonna seat here and wait to get her noticed about how she passed during her duty I wont have that.
Tactical: I have to agree with the XO it can be a trap set up to get the Devastator under the hands of the Order.
Georgi: How can you even think that my wife will do such a thing.
Andrea: Maybe she doesn't know and the order is using your marriage to gain a upper hand in the war against us.
Georgi was terrified of his Crew mates giving these discussing suggestions. But thay were darn straight right but Georgi and his stubborn ness officer crew.
After some heavy arguing the Pacifica bridge Officers decided the signal from Rika will be taken care of. When georgi exited the briefing room he went ot the Comunication officer to responed to Rikas Hail. the Responce was this.
Rika the Pacifica is on its way Rika meet us at the arranged Rv point. See ya in a few hours Rika.
[color=#CC66CC]I love you !!!!
[font=System]***** End Transmission*****
[color=#3366FF][font=Arial Narrow]LNS-Pacifica, Omicron Minor system Alaska Hole
Helm Officer: Jump successful
The Helm officer declared
Georgi: Any sigh of the ship that is supposed to meet us here
Tactical: No Si.... Yes sir contact . Bering 456,980 and closing in fast its our boy.
Comm officer: its Healing us sir it wants us to fallow it to the Sajuuk location
Georgi: Alright Fallow it .
And the big Libretonian Battleship went after a single Order fighter witch lead them to the Sajuuk position.
When they saw it the Sajuuk granted permission for the Pacifica to moore with her. The procedure wasn't easy due to the space conditions the Omicron Minor system offered. But the Helm officer on the Pacifica managed to connect the two ships with no problem.
When the seal was complete Captain Dimitrov left for th air lock witch was connected to the Sajuuk. On of the Marines opened the air lock and on the other side Golanski with two of his men looking at Dimitrov and Dimitrov looking back on them. Dimitrov sighted and responded while looking Golanski in the eyes.
Georgi: Permission to come on board ?
Golnaski: Granted !
Dimitrov entered the Osiris battleship and they started to walk towards the CIC of the Sajuuk. Dimitrov and Golnaski are having a small chat with each other until they reach the CIC.
Golanski and Dimitrov passing through corridors towards CiC, passing next to armed but relaxed marines just as they were expecting Georgi. He asks him:
'So many guards, what's going on?'
As they walk Golanski answers:
'Neccesary precautions, we are set on condition two just in case as something happens. Don't worry I instructed all of them about all sort of unnusual guests. Maybe you know that situation is important. Thanks for sort of fast respond.'
Georgi explains:
'You know I am here only due to my wife. Where's she?'
Coming close to their destination commodore answers:
'At the CiC as everyone else involved.'
Georgi more relieved looks around:
'How old is that battleship?'
Golanski thinks a little and gives him a answer:
'Two years, three times received major upgrades. Yours?'
Georgi nods and tells:
'Pacifica is new dreadnought.'
They walk into CiC where fighter and bomber wing leaders gathered around a table. As Georgi walks in Rika noticed him and they hugged each other. Pair kissed like they missed each other for some longer duration. Commodore aproaches others and finds one report, rest are watching Georgi not sure they can trust him.Few marines are present in room and it is fully staffed. Golanski look on pair and speaks:
'Mission briefing awaits.'
Rika answers:
'Ah... yes sure.'
Their are happy from re-union but duty calls. Pilots deffinately do not look comfortable. Golanski begins briefing:
'Some time ago in system we labelled Omicron-54 our scouts detected nomad battleship sized ship. Concern is that the only one known way in is located in Omicron-92 system where sensors won't be able to pick up threat in time. We need to destroy that thing before more squids will come to aid it or they will strike. I am sure you are familiar with destruction that nomad battleships can unleash...'
Looks on Georgi if he complies, he nods and Golanski continues:
'With two battleships and their full bomber and fighter contingent we get some chances. But it may be not enough. I know one possibility but I am not sure if he is able to help us at the momenth...'
Georgi asks him:
'Who you have in mind?'
Golanski shows everyone specifications of vessel, it is a Osiris class battleship but other from standard Order issued ones. Golanski answers to Georgi:
'Manuel Smith, captain of Shaulanca battleship, defecting Corsair osiris. May be useful or any of you got some better idea?'
Dimitrov looks over the tactical plan for deployment and he was listening to Golnaski by the book made briefing.
But he was still listening and holding the arm of Rika and time to time looking at her when she looked back at him he winks her. Golanski was already suggesting that we call in the other Osiris class battleship. Dimitrov thinks.
Dimitrov: My god Rika were did you send me in to these buckets cant even stand up against a Mako battleship and they are on their way to assault what they think is a nomad battleship. A Corsair Osiris well it will be nice for the corsairs to die but why shod I think about trying to save two battleships instead of the Sajuuk. If we are going to do this we are going to this right and in style.
Georgi looked at every single person and his eyes stoped at Rika when she noded to him. For a moment Georgi figured she read his toughs and that she agrees. He looked at Golanski as he seat down and he returned the look from Dimitrov. Georgi stood up and he walked to the main view screen were the Briefing images and plans were shown.
Gentlemen this is plan is good yes, but it can be better. Golnaski this isn't a Marduk believe me I had my shares with them. This gentlemen is much more that serves for a high purpose what is it we don't know. Please zoom in on the Image.
Thank you as you can see here this is defiantly not a Marduk or what ever it is called. The drone that you have send was intercepted moments after this footage was taken am I right Golnaski ?
Georgi looks on Golnaski. And Golnaski nods.
Well this is probably a heavy and well defended nomad position. So a old Corsair battleship is not needed because this base probably is well fortified. We are going to need ships for siege warfare. And that when we get a Liberty Siege Cruiser to help us out.
Golanski Looks at Dimitrov.
Golanski: Captain how are you going to get a Liberty Siege Cruiser.
Georgi: My brother owns a Zoner Liberty Siege cruiser that well fit for combat with outside treats. So tell the corsair leader not come. it will only in danger his ship and crew. What this thing does or what purpose does it serves is not known. All we do know its big and it emits large power signatures.
he pauses and drinks some walter.
Georgi: Now to continue Golanski is planning a raid with Fighters and bombers only. Well Golnaski thats impossible. We have to get the big ships in but do keep in mind fighters and bombers that Pacifica and Sajuuk cant handle much of the Nomad fire.
So this is what I suggest the Pacifica and Sajuuk will make a diversion attack being on this position 10 k from the object the Equinox will come threw the back door when the Nomad defenses have been pulled out. With the Sajuuk fighter and bomber contingent lead by Rika. To cover for the Equinox, while the Pacifica Contingent of fighter will stay with the Sajuuk and the Pacifica. In case any of the two ships gets to much damaged it one of the ships will be able the retreat while the other deals with the enemy defenses.
Now the Equinox and the Bomber squadrons shod be able to take out the Object by their selves but if something goes wrong one of the battleships will have to prosed and help with the destruction of the Object.
Here is a more detailed map of hows the plan shod proceed.
The screen switches to a tactical plan
Golnaski is really interested on how Dimitrov reorganized his plan. But he was satisfied and how the thing shod go but will they do thats another question. Golnaski noded to Georgi and he dismissed the Officers so he can take a decision on to go to Dimis plant or not.
Georgi and Rika exited the Room together and they went to Rikas Old place on the Sajuuk. Georgi entered and he saw a bed a desk and a window, Rika took his arm and she kissed him.It would appear that she missed him. He smirked and returned the kiss when he kissed her he took her hands and they sited on the bed.
Georgi: hey I love you two. And its been what only six hours.
Rika: Well its still a long time for me without you. This seems as a very dangerous operation. We dont know anything about our enemy and all that.
Georgi: For me as well. Rika your the one in a fighter I am on a battleship.
Rika: Yes I know I have my Nephthys.
Georgi: Oh no your not getting in that thing on this kind of a operation I want you to fly one of Pacifica guardians for the mission. You know how to fly the Avenger so you know the guardian. Its more agile fast suits your style .
He winks to her
Rika: My Georgi what can I say ?
Georgi: Don't say anything i want you to be safe at all times.
Rika: I will but you do the same.
Georgi: I will.
They returned to the officers briefing room and Georgi and Rika sited next to each other and holding their hands. They look at Golanski as he is about to tell his decision about the operation.
'Allright, Sajuuk is equipped with solaris prototype turrets, possess 10 Sekhmeth bombers and 8 Bastet fighters. Fighters will be equipped with sunslayer and starkiller torpedo payloads to assist bombers if snubcraft threat will be dealth with. There may be problem if 'station' or whatever it is possess force field, we will need find way to disable it. If that type of defence will be met, bombers should locate and destroy all generators. In case we will be needed to finish of station, I will make use of Cerberus batteries. If everything will fail...'
He sighs and continues:
'I will issue order of ramming station in order to place nuclear warheads inside it's hull and blow it up from inside. Sajuuk will survive that but will be badly damaged after this.'
Looks on Georgi and Rika who stay together and asks:
'What's possible ETA of Equinox arrival? Shouldn't be problem to get it in but only under escort. Maybe it's on Zoner papers but it's still LSC.'
Georgi responds:
'It should arrive in around 30 minutes.'
Golanski nods and talks:
'Allright, launch fighter escorts to Omicron Delta jumphole and bring it here discretly, no need to make it sensation.'
XO Scott picks up comms and instructs pilots about their mission and orders to launch. Soon two fighters left Sajuuk and moved towards their destination. In meantime commodore Golanski at SiC talks with other pilots:
'Start with preparations, soon as Equinox will rendezevous with us I want fleet move on positions at Omicron-92 system. Dimitrov's stay here, rest are dimissed.'
Officers saluted and leave to do their tasks. Only bridge officers, Rika and Georgi left at CiC. Rika asks him worried:
'When we will strike?'
Golanski answers:
'Jumphole will be stable for 3 days, I plan to strike in nearest 24 hours if possible.'
Georgi asks:
'Any idea on what we are going to face?'
Commodore looks on reports and hand one to them talking:
'Unknown ammounts of snubcrafts and support crafts, I pressume few minor mindnodes and maybe single cruisers scattered over system with their respective escorts sweeping system for any intruders. I doubt they won't try to counter atack so strike should be fast as possible once we jump in. I want be out of this before any bigger fleet or battleships will get into fight in which station destruction will help a lot since it is biggest class mindnode in that area. We will use momenth of disorientation to pull back if forces will be too big to deal with on our own. But be prepared for every situation possible, it almost never is identical on plans.'
They nod and Golanski continues:
'And I guess you're hungry, it will take some time before Equinox arrive.'
Georgi looks at the plans and he is holding Rikas arm. He was thinking on how Pacifica is going to go threw at this. The Devastator was made to endure long space travels outside Sirius and fight potential enemy's in hostile space. But was the crew ready ? Pacifica crew was still not that happy that they are going on a operation that includes aiding the Order.
But they trusted their captain. They also understood why Georgi was doing it. Rika saw that Georgi was a little troubled she was to because Golnaski was Sending the Pacifica on its own against the Nomad Main Force.
But she remained very calm and she looked at Georgi and with her look she managed to relax Georgi. Letting him feall a lot more conferrable. When Golanski offered a dinner goergi noded to Golnaski and responded.
Georgi: Hmm a dinner well I am starving. Rika how about you ?
Rika: You know I wont refuse anything Georgi. *she smiles at him*
Georgi: Then its settled Dinner in 15 minutes.
Golnaski noded and he returned to him XO so they can discuss something in private. Rika and Georgi decided they shod walk on the decks of the Sajuuk together. They went to the forward section of the ship. There was a observation point were the scientists observe and research. There was no one in there and chairs and sofas were turned towards the large window. Georgi and Rika sit down on the forward sofa that is right in front of the window. They both smiled at each other and hugging each other . Georgi Smirked and he looked in to her eyes and whispered to her.
Georgi: After this god knows what am I ready to do for you. To be safe and happy.
Rika: Maybe every thing. Maybe nothing. I love you there is no need to prove that you do because I know I sense that myself. All I want you is to be safe nothing else. I want for us to have a quiet life and live it with you as your wife.
Georgi: I love you to and I want the same all in two mouths time when I retire. We are going to spend every single moment of our time together I can promise you that. We got around 12 minutes lets not waste em.
They both smile. Georgi gently touched her hair at same same time looking in her eyes, when they kissed they closed their eyes and they continued kissing. From times to times they stop to look eachother in the eyes and smile but after that they kissed again. Like nothing can disturb this chain.
[font=Arial Narrow]LNS-Equinox, Omicron Delta System
Martin Dimitrov was calmly sitting in sickbay because his arm was shot in the past week. He continued to review important documents on his expedition, and reports from the scouts. He sighted and the ships Doctor arrived in that moment.
Doctor: OPk your arm is going to be alright. You can go back to your job.
Martin: Thanks Doc .
And Martin left the sickbay to the main bridge. When he arrived he looked at his bridge officers and asked for a status report.
Xo: Captain all systems are green she is holding.
Martin: Alright good any sigh of our Order friends.
Xo: Yes sir there are two fighters on a approach vector. I don't know if they are our guys that we are looking for.
Martin: Lets see and find out Hail them.
Comm officer: Aye sir.
Comm officer: This is the Zoner Cruiser Equinox up roaching ships identify yourself or we will open fire on you.
The two order fighters hear this transmission and they reply.
Pilot: This is fighter patrol 768 flying off the OCV-Sajuuk. Martin Dimitrov we have been ordered to escort your ship to the Sajuuk and the Pacifica.
Martin: Roger that good to see you then.
The fighters formed up with the cruiser and then give the Helm officer the way point to Sajuuk and Pacifica. The Equinox arrived to the location with no problems and Moored with the Sajuuk. Martin got down and was escorted by a marine guard to CIC.
[font=Arial Narrow]OCV-Sajuuk, CIC
Martin saw Golnaski and he went to him. With confidence and stood next to him looking at him.
Golnaski turned around and looked back at Martin.
Martin: Martin Dimitrov the Equinox.
Golnaski: Commodore Golanski the Sajuuk.
Martin: Where is my brother and Rika ?
Golnaski: Somewhere in the ship enjoying each other company. We wont find them Rika knows the ship better then I do.
Martin: *laughs* Well better now bother then. So want to give a briefing.
Golanski. Yes lets go. Also we have dinner with Rika And Georgi in about 5 minutes
Golnaski and Martin went to Golnaski ready room to conduct the same briefing they did with Georgi.
Now back at the observation post Rika and Georgi are laying on the sofa kissing each other. They stoped and Georgi looked at his watch.
Georgi: 4 minutes till we have that dinner.
Rika: *looks at him* I hope he changed cook in meantime
Georgi: *laughs* Why was he that bad ?
Rika:he came from Rheinland and he was not one of the bes.
Georgi: Oh strudels for everyone *he smirks*
Rika: At least it wasn't poison *laughs*
Georgi: Well if it is the same cook he is in trouble.
They got up and went to the bar on the Sajuuk. There was a table already set for 4. But Golnaski and Marting are getting late. So they sit down on the table next to each other. Georgi was holding Rikas arms and she his. they both looked in each others eyes and smiles to one and other. Seems they had more time for a private conversation.
Golanski is late due to briefing Martin and showing him plans of operation. In meantime Rika and Georgi at bar talking with each other. Rika speaks:
'Tell me you will be careful this time.'
He smirks and makes her sure:
'Yes I will be careful. But you be extra careful while flying that fighter.'
She smiles and continues:
'I will and you will be too. Promise me.'
He answers:
'I promise Rika. Don't worry. Ff I see the smallest sigh of the Pacifica not making it I will be one of the first people to get the hell out of there.'
She smiles at him and tells:
'Still that waiting. Everything can go wrong out there. And we don't know a lot...'
Georgi interrupts:
'Well as martin says the dangers of the unknown. Risk and you win or risk and you lose. And besides Pacifica Evacuation procedure can make the crew leave the ship in a matter of 2 minutes. So if anything goes wrong we will be well out of there'
He winks to her but Rika little worried:
'You talk about evacuation of Pacifica, but what are you going to tell Liberty Navy? I lost naval ship during aiding my wife who's in Order somewhere in most unknown of unknowns systems fighting nomads?'
Georgi explains:
'Who says I am going to loose Pacifica?'
Rika continues:
'Well I hope you're right. Pacifica officers are ready for this?'
Georgi answers:
'Of course not, they are not ready for a hard tail combat against the Nomads in a situation like this. I doubt any crew can from the Liberty navy. The crew morale is high. They probably will enjoy fighting for Humanity not helping to destroy it. And besides they Trust us remember they were there when we met.'
In that moment commodore Golanski and Martin went in room and joined pair. As they take a seat Golanski speaks:
'Sorry for being late but everyone needs to be briefed about situation.'
Georgi looks at Martin and asks:
'What the hell happened to your arm'
Short respond of Martin:
'I got shot'
Rika evading next 'story' asks:
'What's now for dinner?'
Golanski respond:
'Strudels and borscht. And really pizza, I hope our new cook won't screw up like last one.'
Georgi nods, Martin asks:
'What happened to previous one?'
Golanski laughs and answer:
'Relocated to a place where they don't know him yet.'
Rika and Georgi laughs together with him. In meantime dish was served and they start to eat. Two Order officers talking in hangar, full of fighters but no other people right now. One of them asks:
'I don't like what commodore does. We could take revenge for all that Liberty Navy did to us during all that time just right now.'
Second one calms him down:
'And die to nomads in suicide attack, great plan. No wonder you're still lieutenant after five years here with your genius tactical mind. I feel like commander wants to sacrifice them while getting away don't you think?'
First one sighs and responds:
'I don't know, he always got unusual guests. Freelancers, Zoners, even GMG pilot once.'
Officers disappear in darkness of hangar chatting. Back at canteen Golanski asks Rika:
'What fighter you brought in? I guess it need solid armament.'
Rika answers:
'Liberty navy guardian.'
Golanski raises eyebrows but then looks on Georgi:
'Your fault eh?'
Georgi smirked, Golanski looks back at Rika:
'We will need suit that thing with some decent weapons then. I heard those vengeance's are crap'
They laugh and Golanski continues:
'Seems you will need every advantage we got so I will order mounting some prototype weaponry we salvaged last time. Don't worry, they still work and deliver a solid punch.'
Rika nods and finishes her meal. Rest are finishing soon enough, Golanski stands up and tells them:
'I will be at my quarters. If you need accommodation ask one of officers at CiC, there are some rooms free. Also as all ships are here I will order movement to Omicron-92 system. Questions?'
Everyone nods and goes to their destination. Martin returns to Equinox, Rika and Georgi go for quarter and Golanski steps on CiC to contact Pacifica and issue move out order. He picks up comms
'Commodore Golanski to Equinox and Pacifica command. Soon as we unmoor from each other fleet is to be deployed for Omicron 92 system immediately and take marked positions.'
He awaits for respond from other two vessels, then Equinox open channel:
'Here's Martin, understood we will follow you.'
After that Pacifica CiC answers:
'We read you, where is captain Dimitrov?'
Commodore answers:
'Onboard Sajuuk, you may contact him on his own personal comms if you don't believe me.'
After some momenth of hesitation, fleet is ready to move out. Golanski goes for his quarters and takes a seat on sofa. As fleet reached Omicron 92 jump hole Scott orders FTL jump. Commodore awaits that momenth feeling when it kicks in, at CiC then one of officers counts from from five to zero and Sajuuk dissapears. Soon Pacifica and Equinox followed.
'Jump complete, we reached successfully Omicron-92 and we are in contact with Pacifica and Equinox command. Awaiting further instructions...'
One of officers repoted. Scott answered:
'Set course for staging point, keep it slow helm we have time.'
Two battleships and cruiser passing through dense nebula towards unknown, crew is enjoying their time before strike. Golanski approached one of walls of his quarters, with pictures. One of them showing himself while he was 16 with his first ship, dagger fighter. Another one is from Freeport 9 station with his sister and old friends which propably are dead by now. Moving to next one, with officer crew of Sajuuk when Rika was helm officer. On last picture there is Ravenov, Richards, Leigh and Golanski in hangar of battleship Isis, on background of Nephthys class fighters. He notices also his collection of Order primary fleet rank insignias he collected through his career. He takes a seat on sofa and starts to think about upcoming action.
[font=Arial Narrow]LNS-Pacifica, Omicron Minor system
Golnaski just give the word for move out but the officers on the Pacifica were quite surprised the Order came from him. So they weren't sure how to respond they called the First officer of the Pacifica Andrea . Andrea at that time was conducting training for the new marines.
The second in command entered and told Andrea that they were going to depart but Dimitrov wasn't inboard.
Andrea looked at the Officer and she went with him to the Bridge and contacted Golnaski.
Andrea: Commodore Golnaski I want to know whats going on.
Golnaski: aa Commander you Captain will remain on the Sajuuk for the time we move towards the rally point.
Andrea: And what is Captain Dimitrov doing ?
Golnaski: He is with commander Dimitrova. If you don't trust me contact him.
Andrea: Figures Alright Commdore we will proceed to move out.
The officers are uneasy that they take order from a Order agent. There was no clues on what Dimitrov status was but Andrea knew .
One of the Officers expressed his concerns.
'I cant agree on this, how do we know we can trust this freak ?'
Andrea looked at him and she raised her eyebrow.
' Listen if you wont take the order from mr Golnaski you will take em from. The only difference is that I can put you in the brig if you don't fallow mine.
Dimitrov is with his wife and god knows what are they doing. Ok maybe we all know what they are doing but its their own private thing, we cant stick our noses there.'
The officer lowers his head and speaks
'Ma'am I hate this ever sense he meet her he is being doing some very serious beaches in the Liberty Navy Regulations'
Andrea walk to him and looked him in the eye
' Well good thing he knows how to cover his tracks the current excuse is that we are in a very cover operation very deep in the Alaska system were the Long Range Sensors don't work. So no regulations have been broken. You got any more questions Lieutenant ?'
He saluted
'NO ma'am'
She noded
' Return to your post. Get me Dimitrov private comm link on a secure line'
The Comm officer noded and he started to work on his control pannel. While the Communication link was established she received the plans for the operation. She went to the senior officers and started to brief them after 1 hour the rest of the officers went to brief the rest of the crew. The comm officer was already estableshed the link and Andrea took the headset and started to talk with Dimitov.
' Captain you alright ? '
Dimitrov responded.
'Yeah I am alright no problems. Is there a problem Andrea ?'
' No sir but we were wondering why weren't you on board the ships sir ? '
Dimitrov laughs at the comm and responces
' Well I prefer to spend these moments with my wife if you don't mind. And You can handle command till I come right ?'
Andrea started sweeting
' Yes sir. Any orders? '
'Just keep the ship in one peace until I come back.'
Rika voice was heard in the background
' Get back here its warmer here'
Dimitrov responded.
'Don't worry I will come back to make it even warmer'
Georgi repplyed to the comm.
' Andrea I have to go I am needed else were *he laughs softly* you have the con'
Andrea smirks knowing whats going on.
' Aye sir. '
And the tranmissin between the Xo and Captain of the Pacifica ceased. Andrea returned to reviwing the Documents that she had to do. Pacifica was awaiting the worse.
Before the Contact between Georgis Xo Rika and Georgi have finished their dinner with Golnaski and they are walking down to Rika old quarters. Hold each others arm and they talk. Order agents that pass them salute to Rika. As they walk the discuss a very important subject.
Rika opened the subject .
' Georgi remember when we discuss whether or not to have kids ?'
Georgi turns but he is a little uneasy discussing it.
' Yes I do remember.'
Rika smiled at him and they stoped just in front of Rikas Old room. She took his hands and looked him in the eyes and smiled .
'Georgi I would like to start trying and start a family with you. I waited to see and I wasn't ready but now I am. Are you? '
Georgi smiled surprised but extremely happy.
' Rika we started to try even when we didn't want to. But yes alright we will start trying'
Rika hold his arms smiles and kisses him and he returns the kiss she looks at him seriously.
'Georgi I don't want a libretonian naval doctor to bring our child to the world. No Libretonian Navy officers.'
He calms her down
' You got it Rika I wont risk losing you the way my Father lost my mother. I will ask Doc when the time comes.'
Rika smiles from Happynes
' You can do that ? oh you are the best aways thinking for all'
She smiles and opes the door of her room. She looks at Dimitrov she looks at him very exiting and playfully way. Georgi smirks and he starts to kiss her and they enter her questers. They lays down on the bed starting to kiss each other when Dimitrov comms ring out it was Andea.
He opens the comm and leads the conversation with Andrea. He closes the comm link and gently they both started stripping each other while kissing. And we leave the young couple to enjoy each other. Golanski was on the CIC looking at final reports when his Xo talked to him.
' Sir we have a life support glitch on deck 14'
Golnaski looks at him.
' What ??!'
The Xo looks at the readings.
' Well according to the sensor reading one of the rooms the temperature in there is above normal levels .'
Golanski looks surprised and ask's.
'From were ?'
Xo Responces calming him down.
' Rika Dimitrova room sir. Shod I send repair teams?'
Golanski smirks and laughs.
' Negative ignore the readings. Let em be if you know what I am Talking about. '
The Xo smirks and he nods they returned to moving towards the Hole.
