Betrayal

"Sir we have lost another deck. The shock wave knocked
a chunk of the hull right off." Shiki said.

"Any casualties?" Stewart replied.

"No sir no one was on that deck during time of impact.
The Mistralith is sending more repair teams to work on
our ship. Our repair teams could use the help."

"Good to hear. She survived. Looks like Mistralith
damaged her engine a bit since we're only at impulse."

"Yes sir she did. Though they have minor injuries
from the explosion. As does our ship."

"Sir we got the turrets that we have remaining back up
at full power! The ship can now defend against enemy
attacks." Amy was excited now that she can blow
anything up that attacked or was affiliated with the
sudden attack.

"Good let the Mistralith know that. We are now 1 1/2
battleship. Even half a battleship could take out one
full one!"

Shiki went to work on transmitting messages to Mistralith
along with the rest of the 122nd.

By now 75% of the 122nd was already at Evora. Though
one of the 75% was smoking and there was fires visible
on several sections of the ship. It was the reconstructed
Adler. Just in a smaller form.

Adler was the sister ship and the oldest ship out of the two
before it was used as an explosive weapon in the St. Mitchell
incident in Alaska. The new vessel was a Light Assault Carrier.
Another new prototype in the 122nd Fleet. She would
be the only Carrier in the fleet.

Adler took a massive attack from a battleship. Though this
one didnt get a chance to ram her. Instead it was ambushed
by Adler's cloaked bomber wing. The attacks were getting
more aggressive as reports came in. Something was up
and Stewart thought the Tenabras was to blame.

"Tell all ships that are still not in Order Space to cloak. If
the cloak fails tell them to repair it ASAP and get hidden.
We're likely to have more attacks on our ships soon enough."
Stewart commanded.

The Mistralith still towing Tenabras was still at impulse. Lucky
there was no sign of hostile units in the area. They must have
expected both ships to have exploded with the bomb. Oh
how they were wrong.

"This is Evora shipyard to the 122nd Fleet. We can not
accompany any more of your ships at this time. Please
stand by near Battleship Apophis (Name butchered sorry)."

The Mistralith was still way out from Evora so they had
a ways to go before Tenabras was in a facility able to
repair its large damage.

The journey home is gonna be longer than Stewart hoped.
