Operation: Roanoke

[Jeremy Hunter]

Jeremy had just entered the NFZ when suddenly Order Primary fleet appeared. He cursed. Among them where Secondary fleet, including... "Crap! THe Bastet!" The Kheops and Bastet, the two capitals Jeremy repsected the most, entered the NFZ. Jeremy breathed a sigh of relief. Marvin, captain of a Zoner "juggy", was there. Jeremy held his ground. He was slowly surronded by the fleet. The Bastet moved closer. "Hunter, this is COmmander Staite. Stand down." Jeremy replied evenly "When Kelt decides to lay off and leave me alone." Jeremy looked at the screen. Surrepticously he powered the crusie engines and had them preped. He activated Engine Kill, effectively holding the crusie engines on but at 0 power. A good tactic for getting away. Kaylee continued. " Lets just, calm down, go back to Toledo, and talk." Suddenly a screen lit up on every ship, showing Tovig and... "RIKA!" Jeremy had yelled so loud that he felt the deck shake. Tovig grinned evilly. "Yes Hunter. Commander Staite, destroy that ship, and destroy the escape pod of Hunter." Kaylee gasped. "Sir!" "DO IT." Kaylee paused. "We are in a NFZ." On her screen, she began signaling Jeremy. He grinned. He signaled what his plan was. She signaled back I'll block the Kheops. He grinned. He turned back to Tovig. "GO screw yourself. ANd Look out." Tovig laughed. ANd hit the ground. Gwyn and Audrey picked up Rika. The threesome kicked Tovig and left. Jeremy yelled "NOW!" The Ghost Eye jumped forward. CD's flew at him, but they hit the Bastet. Osborne yelled "Staite! Move!" But the Bastet sat there. It was too late. Jeremy had escaped.

Omicron Iota:
Jeremy and his small screw of Keller, SHeppard, and Izzy and Max looked at the massive Nomad city Dur-Shurrikan. It was the only place to hide since the Corsairs would not want them. "That is one big piece of crap." Jeremy grinned. "I hacked the records of an LSF dreadnought that did a super-deep recon to here." (// an Open SP thing I did//) Jeremy shook his head. "Altair Research Station. There." As they exited the Nomad lane, they gasped. There had been two open dry-docks. Now both held an Osiris. One was the Wandering Cry, a ship that had disappeared a month earlier. THe other was... "Oh. My. God. Sius." THe other Osiris was the Khonshu.

Altair SY:
Jeremy stared at the two Osiris's. "Oh. My. God." He turned to the others. He grinned. "Feel like a heist?"

the Das Wilde Elite pilot was staring into space. He screamed. The rest scrambled to see what had scared him. It was the human coming out, fighting. It stopped. They looked. A second later, the Ghost Eye smashed into the bar.

Jeremy blew open the airlock with a Mini Razor shot. He landed the old, battered Nephthys and pulled out two sidearms. He opened fire, cutting down Das Wilde and Nomads alike. As he cut down the enemies, Sheppard and Keller ran, Sheppard carrying Izzy in a data chip. Jeremy backed up. Nomads and Wilde poured in. He threw a grenade and ran. A thump told him it detonated. THe hall filled with Nomads and Wilde. He threw the spent sidearms and took up his last resort: An Old Earth G36K he had found in the wreck of [Hispania when he had gone through Alpha on the way to a Keeper threat in Bretonia. He let loose a torrent of bullets. Suddenly, Sius Malacos stepped out and blocked his way. He spoke. "You can not win...Hunter....you...will be defeated..." Suddenly, a roar came from Sius. He fell. Sius looked up, and, with superhuman effort, said "Run...do as much damage to my ship as you can...GO JEREMY." Jeremy teared up. And ran. Sius fell to the ground, screaming, fighting one last fight to save his friends.

Keller, SHeppard, adn Izzy had the Wandering Cry Ready when Jeremy skidded to a stop. He said "Seal bulkheads and depresurrize everything but here." The door clanged shut and he said "Get ready. Aim the heavy mortar at the Khonshu. Do as much damage as possible. We have to run. Out of here. Sius fought to make sure we got away. Lets do that and go to Omicron-74, then to Gallia. Im calling the Pitard. They can help us. Now lets do this. The Heist." The ship fireed every weapon it posseded. Scorpian GBs detonated, a Nomad battleship detonated, and the Khonshu was left there...in three pieces. The Osiris class battleship Wandering Cry broke from its prison and powered away. Jeremy yelled "TAKE THAT YOU SQUIDS. TAKE THAT." Jeremy then, on sudden inspiration, put on an old earth song on all frequencies. THe song blared out. "Can you take it all away, can you take it all away, gonna shove it in your face..." He grinned. The Wandering Cry exited the research station and headed into the clouds of Iota.
