Betrayal

[stewcool]

"Thanks Mistralith, though you have gone beyond
the call of a normal rescue. Even though they hit
us hard we will hit them far more. Our fleet was
caught off guard doing a mission and we knew
we were getting into a mess we couldn't handle
if we got caught off guard. Our systems were
doing a mandatory update during the attack.
Most of the crew was asleep until impact. That
is what lowered our injuries. If the system
wasn't updating the alarm would have sounded
and our ship would have acted accordingly to
the sudden threat. It's that that made us along
with the rest of 122nd vulnerable. We couldn't
head back to Evora for the update because
the mission was far more important."
Stewart said as he made up the excuse.

"Sir they're gonna wander what we were
doing in this empty system. Especially
when they see all the cargo we're
gonna remove when we get to Evora."
One of the crew members said.

"Then at that time we will make up another
excuse we can not have anyone in the Order
know what the 122nd is doing. If all goes well
we will have a new place to call home."
Stewart stated as he started looking out
the front window to the bridge.

He started thinking of the next move the
people he knew would soon attack his fleet
would do. He already knew that the attacks
on his fleet were coming along with his crew.
Though none of them knew that the strike
would disable 2 ships and destroy 1. It
was time for a mass retaliation and
the actions of the retaliation would decide
the fate of the whole fleet.
