Holmen: We copy Blackstar, but the d*mn thing has fled and is refusing to let anyone dock! Be advised, a wing of Phantom terrorists has shown up, blown up the S&R ship "Shamrock", and are now chasing the Jinsei-Akki.
A heavy lifter and two repair ships were already out of dock and were combing the area for escape pods. They found none. One wing of Hawks from Holmen followed the Jinsei-Akki, but at a distance.
Unknown: No! You can't... You musnt... I... we... you... no... *static*
The ship suddenly slows, finaly ending crunched into another ice asteroid. The turrets freeze and cease fireing. The ship falls silent.

"Jenson, what is it now!"
The com panel was alight like an exploding shower of swarm missiles.
"Sorry sir, could you give me a chance to sort out all of the clutter. There is so much
on the long and the short range bands at the moment, even the babel interpreter is
having trouble keeping up."
"Just get on with it then. Let me know when you have something concrete to report."
The Beretta was making its way gingerly through the ice asteroid field heading for the
last reported position of the Jinsei-Akki.
"Got alot of incoming now sir. A wing of Phantoms just de-cloaked and attacked the
vessel...Err sounds like they bit off a little more than they they were expecting,
though they have destroyed the SR Shamrock. Also long range has detected an
Asgard battlegroup preparing to exit O-Alpha..."
Captain Stone stopped pacing and stared at the comm panel.
"My God can this day get any better."
"And sir, transmissions from the Akki are little intelligible, but they are saying
something about an evil, and for no one to attempt docking. Shes running deeper
into the field now."
"Get after her, but whatever you do helm, you keep at least 2k away when we
get there. Ok."
"Phantoms are warning every one to steer clear sir."
Jenson was starting to sound a little nervous. this was not what he had signed up for.
The Phantoms, while tenuously allied to Coalition, where notoriously aggresive when
it came to claiming spoils after any incident.
"Just get us there ok, we'll worry about them later. Anymore from the Akki?"
"Just very odd static sir". No thats stopped now. Wait a minute getting an energy
signature starting to come from the ship. Never seen anything like it."
Jenson switched the incoming wave to speaker. An eerie howling emenated.
Like nothing anyone had ever heard............
Some say he is a proud member of: "The most paranoid group of people in the Community."
Alpha wing: Jinsei-Akki, this is Alpha wing from Holmen. Please respond.
Jinsei-Akki: *static*
Alpha: Jinsei-Akki, please respond.
Jinsei-Akki: *static*
Alpha: Holmen, the Jinsei-Akki has refused contact. We're not getting a thing out of it. Wait, hang on a sec... We've got a signal. Patching through to all ships in the area.
Unknown: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
*Alpha cut the signal*
Alpha: Jesus!
Holmen: What the hell was that!?
Alpha: It sounded like screaming, sir.
Holmen: That was no screaming i've ever heard. What the hell is going on in there!?
Alpha: I dunno, but it can't be good.

"Jenson, turn that off NOW."
The whole bridge was in stunned silence. The captain walked to comm panel.
"You get me some one from Kishiro right now. Get on to Tau 29 pronto. I want to
know exactly what we are dealing with. And helm you make that 5k alright."
The Beretta started to slow as the Jinsei-Akki came into view.
"Helm that will do. Close enough I think"
The ship was nose into a large asteroid and they could see bad battle damage to the
aft section, h-fuel was pouring into space and the ships attitude was badly listing.
"Get hold of the Phantom leader aswell and suggest tactfully that they take up a safe
distance stance... No one else wants the b****y ship."
Just as captain Stone had finished speaking, an eerie glow started to surround the
Akki.
"Helm you get us the hell out of here now, Jenson tell those Phantoms to leg it or
there may be none of them left to collect anything ever again."
The glow from the ship started to intensify.
"Helm. NOW. would be a good time." ..............
Some say he is a proud member of: "The most paranoid group of people in the Community."
"Phantoms! Follow the Jinsei! We are not losing that ship!"
Fast forward to crash:
"Boarding ship, decloak and begin boarding. We need whatever is on that ship NOW! Once the marines are on-board jump back 2k and cloak. Fighters make sure that none of those turrets will be able to fire. Bombers, stay out of range."
A small craft appeared as it attached to the hull of the Jinsei, releasing a large compliment of marines into the ship itself. The fighters attacked the remaining weapons with amazing efficiency.
Alpha wings shows up, all phantom ships are currently cloaked:
"Fighters, engage!"
The remaining six fighters opened fire on Alpha wing before they were even fully visible.
---------------------------------- Transmission to DarkStar:
Encrypted.
"DarkStar, this is Virus. Our plans are a bit... Thrown off. We won't be able to take this ship in one peice. Send something that we can haul this off in... Preferably inside. Perhaps a battleship?
----------------------------------
"Marines, destroy whatever automated defense that are on that ship and locate engineering. We need that ship NOT to explode. Fix whatever is the problem. Kill any humans. Anything else, attempt capture. Use lethal force if necessary. Report anything strange."
"Yes commander!" the marine captian responded promtly. The flash of weapons fire was visible through the small viewports on the outside of the ship."
-------------------------------
Message to the TC Beretta:
"Captian. You are to remain at least 4k away from here. Any closer and we will have no choice but to destroy you. The only reason you are still in one peice is because of our alliance. We will give you cover from any opposing forces that come our way, IF you remain outside 4k."
-------------------------------
(I notice that missing 1 1/2 days really missed something... Everyone seemed to have missed by own thread too...)
As Captain Soren saw the SR Shamrock he slammed his fist into the armrest of his chair.
Captain Soren: Damnit! We're too late! Weapons fire on those Phantoms immediately! Bombers first, leave the fighters for ours. Have Commander Dietrech Launch his fighters. Navigator I want our shields in between the Jensei-Akki and those bombers now!
Commander Dietrech, Major Dessik, and Lieutenant Waechter at the same time: Yes Sir.
Captain Soren: Lieutenant Fleischer how long until that battlegroup from alpha reaches us?
Lieutenant Fleischer We don't know yet Captain.
Captain Soren: Then find out damnit!
Lieutenant Fleischer began a call to the Maul while Captain Soren tried to think of some way to clear the Jensei of the Phantom marines. As he did so he watched the battle outside unfold. His hope leaped when a Phantom bomber caught a missile turret from the Chimeara but it was shortlasted as he saw an AW fighter get blown to pieces by an enemy nova, his wingman severely damaged.
Lieutenant Fleischer: Sir we've reached the Maul. Its up on main screen.
Captain Soren speaking to the Maul Captain you better hurry before there isn't anything left t -static-
The communication was lost as another barrage of torpedos hit their penetrated their shields to leave a couple to blast away at the hull.
Captain soren Lieutenant Fleischer reestablish that connection! Weapons concentrate all of the faster weapons to shoot down those torpedos!
As the captain issued his orders he relised what he must do, and a lump formed in his throat. The lump that came when he knew he must send his soldiers to their deaths.
Captain Soren: Lieutenant Fleischer forget the Maul get me a connection to the Jensei-Akki.
Captain Soren: Jensei-Akki we are sending in troops to deal with the Phantom marines, try to hold them off as long as possible.
Captain Soren: Commander Diszek get your men ready. You'll be landing on the Jensei-Akki to rid them of the Phantom marines.
Diszek's was obviously shocked by this order, but he covered it up quickly.
Commander Diszek: Aye Sir.
Captain Soren: Major Dessik I want you to roll the ship and expose our undamaged shields towards their torpedos. Lieutenant Fleischer instruct the fighters to escort the commandos to the Jensei at any cost.
His fighters were putting up a good fight, one to do the AW's reputation good but there were just too many Phantoms. Sooner or later they were going to lose this fight... But he was going to take as many of them with him as he could.
The ship was rocked as another torpedo hit their exposed hull, and the lights flickered. He listened to the background voices of the bridge crew.
Atmospheric leaking on decks 22-27! That last torpedo penetrated! Guns 9-12 have been destroyed! We have lost one of our missile turrets sir. Deviel squadron has lost 2,3,5,and 8. The squadron is at 2/3 their full strength! We have a count of the Phantom ships sir! There are 9 remaining bombers and 7 fig... wait 6 fighters left. The scanner officer corrected as another of the phantom fighters fell pray to the remaining missile turret of the Chimeara.
Lieutenant Fleischer: Sir. Commander Diszek has reported. They have successfully landed on the Jensei, but are encountering heavy resistance. The Phantoms appear to have control of all the ships docking bays.
Captain Soren: Instruct the Commander only to clear his docking bay and a path to the bridge. We cannot allow the Phantoms to take that ship intact!
As he finished the ship was rocked by a large explosion.
Captain Soren: What was that?!
Ensign Hraiphnei: Scanner shows it was an explosion on the Jensei-Akki. An energy core was hit by the explosion of a torpedo.
Captain Soren: Damages?
Ensign Hraiphnei: We have atmospheric leaking on docks 36-39 and have lost one of our Cerberus turrets.
Captain Soren Damnit.
Ensign Hraiphnei: Ships detected! Sensors identifies them as Gaians. Total count is...
The ensign's face became one of pure terror.
Captain Soren: What?! How many?!
Ensign Hraiphnei:His voice shaky Count is 36 fighters. 3 whole sqaudrons. Sir... I think we have lost.
As soon as Ensign Hraiphnei finished his statement the Gaian sqaudron was suddenly ablaze. As he watched a Rheinland gunboat and a squad of unidenified fighters tore through the Gaian formation.
Lieutenant Fleischer: communications from the Rheinland gunboat. It has an AW transponder code.
[/b]Major Dresner:[/b] Captain Soren this is Major Dresner of the AW gunboat Fuchs. We thought we would drop by, see what all the excitement is about.
Captain Soren was completely astonished by the Major's sarcastic remarks in a situation such as this.
Captain Soren: Glad you could drop by Major we could use the help. Who is it that has come with you?
Major Dresner: We dropped by Chugoku on our way. Meet Chiez squadron from Kyoto itself.
Blood Dragon pilot: After the AW helped us infiltrate a key military facility in Kyushu we could hardly refuse. Plus these Phantom scum give us pirates a bad name.
He managed a sligth grin to his face.
Blood Dragon pilot: Plus we needed some practice. We were getting bored.
As the communication ended Captain Soren sat back in his chair. Finally something was going their way, instead of dancing to the tune of these Phantoms.
"AW and Blood Dragon ships. Disengage immediately and leave the area or you WILL be destroyed. This is your one AND ONLY warning."
Virus gritted his teeth as he decloaked his own Marsflyer and engaged the nearest fighter. Quickly destroying it. "I hope DarkStar brings something REALLY big..."
Commander Meizhae [A.K.A. Blood Dragon pilot]: Phantoms we cannot allow you to unleash the contents of that ship. We will not sit by while you commit farthur acts of terrorism against our people.
Chiez 5: Sir as soon as we take their shields down they cloak. We can't get any of them.
Commander Meizhae: Send all your tageting data to the destroyer, have them follow the likely course of the fighter and their turrets will track them.
commander Meizhae: 1st flight target the newly uncloaked fighter. He seems to be the leader.
Chiez 3: Aye si-static-
Meizhae watched as the new pilot blow Chiez three to pieces with his lasers. A wash of anger now falling over him he unleashed his own lasers on the ship. He was rewarded with two grazes on the enemy ship but failed to penetrate it's shield.
