I got a report today that a Rheinland military battleship was sitting in California on the NY gate.
I launched the Fires and went to intercept via Virginia.
I soon spotted the ship as I entered California. It came straight for me with less than good intentions. I didn't even get to say the mandatory 'leave now' line. I ordered battlestations, tripped and broke my nose as we banked hard to avoid the first wave of incoming fire.
When we were on a run-like-a-girl course we started pounding the shield of the target by logging mortars and pulses in its general direction.
At that moment backup arrived and the rheinland warship turned to engage them. this gave us the chance to turn and bring the Melting Ray to bear. at this point I hit the guncam record button becaus beefore I was too busy dripping blood over the floor from my nose and yelling abuse and some orders at the crewmen on the bridge.
