HAPPY 823 AS ? Part 2

---

by: Pam Hendriks

As you know from part 1 of the report, when we jumped into the New York system a Xeno was questioning a freighter captain. We thought that he'd be taken out and we would follow shortly. My assistant got the ship ready to be able to flee instantly if necessary.

He was allowed to pass. But why?

Aren't Xeno terrorists shooting at everything they find?

Back at Manhatten more Xeno Alliance (XA) ships appeared on the scene.



Suddenly out of the blue the ships were engaged in a fight. I wasn't able to identify what caused the immediate exchange of fire between the Liberty forces and the XA. As strange as it sounds the XA seemed to be present to make a statement as you can see below. Sadly the ships of the Liberty Forces were outnumbered and the pilots ended up in escape pods.



More XA appeared and gathered not too far from our ship. We were even approached and offered an interview.

I have to ask: Do Terrorists Give Interviews?

To be honest, we didn't feel threatened at any point in time – until – the Liberty Navy Carrier Louisville showed up. And see for yourself.

The Hellfire ship giving the command to attack.

After several minutes of attack the Navy Carrier retreated towards Manhattan followed by the Xeno. He should have known better than going there putting Liberty Citizens in harms way – on the other hand so did the Xeno.

The peaceful feeling had turned into blind rage on both sides.

And it ended with the destruction of the Carrier, what a shame such a beautiful ship and the hard labor which went into it. All gone!



This is not how we all thought this day would end.

Starting out pieceful and quiet and ending with destruction and death.
Let's hope that this is not how 823 AS will be.
