Captain Kajetan over a comm channel: Sir? We will be arriving at Honshu soon.
Dab: I felt... Send a call to the Chimaera. It should be around here somewhere.

Sir I have located the Kusari destroyer Chimaera. AW seems to be using it to keep an eye on Kusari while looking like a normal Kusari military patrol. It has recently changed course towards the Honshu system. Current reasons unknown. There are two Kusari gunboats with it as well. I will follow the Chimaera until I get farther orders.
The moment, she opened her eyes, she knew everything....
Newcastle, Sephiroth, Honshu - the mission.
Bad headache....
She was no longer on that nomad-battlestar - back on her ship again.
And again, the nav-computer was feeded with data, she couldn't explain.
On her left hand, there was planet Elysium....
"I must be somewhere in Omicron Beta, not far from Honshu."
She slided forward to to the sigma jumphole and she already had stopped wondering
about what was happening.
A few hours later, the Ship-voice announced:
"Chiana, darling, we approach Honshu.... It's just 38 k to go.... you might choose a way, that doesn't lead us into the arms of these enemies..."
"You are right, George, we'll come from the backside and use the old hidden emergency-ring. (where did I know it from?)
We'll be near the airport within a bit more than half an hour."
"I have to change the ship-voice.... That George Clooney - immitation drives me mad."
The old emergency-ring was not defended or even realized by anyone.
She docked and landed on the Honshu-airfield.
"So this is Honshu. For god sake, nobody knows me and my ship - else, I would have had a huge problem."
A number of ships were parked here - Osiris, Liberty Gunboat, Cruisers of all kind...
"I've got that secret translation key.... Maybe I should use it to contact Sephiroth....
I hope, nobody has found out how it works...."
Within a few second, she had typed the combination of signs.
"S(t)eph24Chia-maera-#-disco.phi_arma.delta.geddon"
"Now I have to wait....
I'll be greeted or killed...."
This is Crystal Oni. I'm afraid DarkStar is unavaliable at the moment. However, you bring important news. I'll hack the KNF Routine Repair & Refit database, and soon the KNF will have the Chimera up in drydock. That, or it's cover will be blown and the Chimera will be taken out of the picture. Either way, it won't be around to effect the outcome.
In the meantime, try to find any other AW vessels that might try to sneak in here. If there are none, then cause some diversion over in Theta. THAT should get their attention.

DarkStar smiled.
"We will be able to take care of whatever comes. There are quite a few nasty suprizes in our shuttle. And if that fails, the Oblivion can come in and show them what the name means."
He resumed his mask of an art snob. "Very well then. It was a pleasure talking with you, old friend. Bodyguards! Come! We have things to do elsewhere." DarkStar lead his men away, back towards his ship. If anyone saw them, they would assume it was just some rich man and his two goons. Unless DarkStar pulled off his mask, it was impossible to tell otherwise.
On the armored transport, DarkStar called the detachment of marines together in the hold.
"Ladies and gentlemen... Today we will be holding off a few enemies of old. Standard fair, really. But today, we're going to get to break in the new Heavy Assault Armor."
There were cheers and evil laughs from the group.
"Reaper, Tanya, and Sickle will take the suits. The rest of you armor up with the Powered Armor. Weapon loadout is your choice."
The marines grinned and moved to the large lockers in the hold. The Heavy Assault Armor was slowly brought online, each system checked and rechecked. The Powered Armor was put on, the fusion packs ignited, and the weapons brought out. Gleaming with lethal efficiancy, Nomad Chaingun Cannons, Flechette Launchers, Plasma throwers (Think flame-thrower, but with plasma instead), Nerve Gas Sprayers... weapons of death, each with it's own destructive purpose. Slowly, the marines were readied. DarkStar put on his own suit and covered it with a silken robe. Hidden once more under his mask, only now it masked more then his identity, DarkStar walked out to the starport. His "bodyguards" were absent, getting armored up in the ship. No one would suspect a thing...
Untill it was too late.
This is the real true story of rock and roll; it was not about anything more then, how to live your life, as a gangster, in sartorial splendor, and turning the world into a place where normality would never return again...- Malcolm McLaren
I'm sorry I couldn't make a live call but I suspect the chimaera might be listening in. It destroyed the two cruiser patrols sent by the KNF. It has set course directly to Planet Honshu. Without any other orders I am currently staying out of detection and just following. I don't think I can take it down by myself either. Their captain is a smart one, and they have too much fighter cover. I assume it is heading to warn Dab about the KNF. I advise you to get word to Darkstar, he is about to have some company. Say about every marine aboard the Ableben. He will level the entire city to get rid of darkstar. I advise you get reinforcements here to help deal with the Ableben.
Raf'el out.

Captain Kajetan: Sir reports from the Chimaera. It says that the KNF opened fire on them after they said they were not a part of the group of terrorists who hit New York. He says they new exactly where he was and that he was no Kusari destroyer. The accused him of being a part of that terrorist group, saying that they had been informed of his arrival.
Dab: Get the ship ready for combat. Don't fire upon any KNF forces until they fire upon us. I don't want them claiming us to be responsible. I will be up to the bridge in a few minutes.
He was about to go back to reviewing that conversation between Kargaroth and whoever he was speaking to when he felt it. A large group of humans rediating in anticipation. And also traces of anger...
Dab ran to the comm speaker.
Dab: Captain prepare the marines and have all fighters launch. Have my fighter prepared as well.
He grabbed his dagger and pistol, both highly unique and powerful, and quickly walked out the room. His three bodyguards, Keiran, Xizer, and Visas, flanking him as he made his way to the launch bay.
By the time he got there half the commando shuttles had taken off and were heading straight towards the main city of Planet Honshu. Escorted by a squadron of fighters each. He and his bodyguards likewise took off and headed in behind them.
"Sir, there's no response from DarkStar as of yet."
"Keep trying." Virus snapped at the comms officer.
"Ay... Aye sir." He picked up the microphone again, "This is the Hellbound to the Oblivion. Come in Oblivion. I repeat, this is the Hellbound to the Oblivion."
Raf'el: Don't transmit so openly Virus. The Ableben and Chimaera are in Kusari. Honshu system. Darkstar is on the planet. The Oblivion is in a nebulae cloud, probably why they didn't recieve anything. I can't keep this channel open much longer. Just head to the Honshu system, I'll find you.
"Uh, sir.... From what Raf'el says, there is a large presence of AW ships in Honshu. He wants to meet us there."
"Fine. Take the jump holes and stay off away from major trade routes. We don't want anyone to know we're here yet. Bring the remaining systems online, and tell the marines to prep. We may be needing them."
Major Alpha had entered Sigma 13 when he was contacted by Dab. He was ordered to return to Honshu and help Nightfall. He was also ordered to find out the locations of the Kusari fleet. So he contacted his best operative who was in Kusari. He flew to Honshu and as he landed on the planet he received this report.

Sir a Blood dragons strike group has disabled the Battleship Matsumoto's engines however as for the other Battleships they are more actively patrolling their respective systems and there is a fleet of 4 destroyers and 5 gunboats at the Honshu end of the Honshu to Tokyo Jumpgate.
********** out.
He relayed the information to Dab and went to find Nightfall.

Er... does this mean my TDK char reaper gets to play with the suit :D ?
Or can the TDK squad just come in a start ripping up the AW shuttle escorts? (not to mention the shuttles too :lol:, the ground-pounders will die easily if their ship gets vaped)
