Operation Anvil

[Hellfire Legion]

Time: 0600 hours
Vespucci system
Fort Leniex
HFB-Polyphemus

The commanding officer of the Polyphemus, Daniel Rou, was in the ship's bridge finishing the preparations for their departure to the Bering system. He was going through the movement plans on his data pad incase there was some miscalculation that could add obstacles on their way or worse, jeopardise the mission. The Crimson fighter wing and the Azure bomber wing were loaded on the Polyphemus and their pilots had just finished their individual preparations. "This is Major Cooper to the bridge, both the Crimsons and the Azures are here. We're good to go." The short transmission from the ship's hangars alerted Rou, it was the signal he was waiting so the mission could begin. A bright green was lit on the side of his datapad which showed the ship's readiness aswell as the hangar's status. Rou stood up and alerted the bridge and opened inter-ship comms aswell as a channel to Fort Leniex. "This is Fleet Captain Rou to all hands, we've got the green light for departure, the Polyphemus is now disembarking for the Bering system. See you soon, Leniex." Rou sat back down and ordered the helm to set course for the Magellan jumphole where the Delta transports were waiting.

Rou sat on his chair as the ship was travelling to its destination smoothly through the Leniex asteroid field. After almost an hour he alerted the Crimson wing to be on stand by for deployment and escort the Deltas. "Major Cooper, this is Captain Rou, I need you and a few others outside to keep our transports safe throughout the trip." Major Cooper replied affirmitevely, going on Crimson 1 along with some of the more skilled pilots to accompany him. "We're ready to launch on your orders Captain." Rou was looking at the mission plans once again just before their rendezvous with the Deltas. He was particulary worried about proceeding through California undetected, as the flight plan was through lightly patrolled areas. He wasn't a man that would take his chances, from his experience he knew that things never go according to plan. "Sir, we are being hailed by the Delta leader." The communications officer disrupted Rou's thinking. "Patch him in." Rou stood up and greeted the Major. "The Deltas are good to go, sir, just give us the order." Rou signaled Major Cooper to launch and soon everything was in formation, ready to begin the mission.

"Crimson leader reporting, we are in position."
