Gym day today. I was doing some intensive combat training, you know one of those virtual ones where you do simulation combats by controlling a joystick while sitting in a chair. I was a bit distracted though, as I was having a hard time deciding which donut to get afterwards to compensate my hard work. Chocolate or cinnamon? Life can be hard sometimes.
Suddenly, the alarm went off. Aux ships spotted in Coronado!!! Dang it, those Aux just never learn to take a hint. Jumping into =CR=Lazy.Bum, I flew to the Barrier Station where the Aux ships were last spotted. There, I rendezvoused with a Crayter Battleship - "CFV_Leonardo". There was no Aux ships in sight but the captain of "CFV_Leonardo" told me several Aux ships destroyed a Bretonian military ship in the system moments ago. Just then, a freelancer flying a Waran bomber, "Convenience.Distraction" undocked from the Barrier Station. The pilot of the ship claimed to be the traffic controller of the Barrier station, and began to verbally harass the captain of "CRF_Leonardo" for unknown reason. Shortly after, an Aux fighter ship, "A/)-Guillotine" approached us.
I kindly informed the pilot of "A/)-Guillotine" that the Crayter military does not tolerate Aux ships in Coronado and politely asked him to come in to Yuma with me. I was given no choice but to use lethal force when the pilot refused to comply with my demand. Believe it or not, those virtual training I had been doing did have a big effect on my dog fighting skill, and I was getting an upper hand against "A/)-Guillotine" quickly. However, seeing "A/)-Guillotine"'s inevitable ill fate, another Aux fighter ship, "A/)-Krauklis" joined the fight against me. Meanwhile, "A/)-Guillotine" began to attack "CFV-Leonardo" together with the freelancer "Convenience.Distraction", who began bombarding "CFV-Leonardo" without a legitimate reason soon as I engaged the Aux vessels (I highly suspect that the freelancer is yet another Aux spy).
The pilot behind "A/)-Krauklis" was one of the well-known top pilots in the Aux army, who had destroyed numerous Crayter and its allies' vessels. Even with the virtual combat trainings I had been doing, I quickly ran into trouble against her. Making the matter worse, my ship's radar system was ill-fitted to detect mines quickly and I ran into several of those during the fight. As I had depleted all my repairing bots while "A/)-Krauklis" was barely scratched, I knew my time had come. Before my ship was destroyed, however, I wanted to cause as much damage to "A/)-Krauklis" as possible. So in the last joust, I put up the shield using all the remaining batteries and deployed a "Shredder Mine" as I rammed into "A/)-Krauklis"...
"Boom!!!" I felt my body was being torn apart by the explosion wave. Just before I lost consciousness, beautiful images flashed before my eyes - my mom, my dad, Bob's donuts, my girlfriend. The next thing I knew, I was awaken by sharp alarms from the ship's operating system: HULL BREACH! ENGINES ON FIRE! SHIELD DOWN!, Wait whaaaaaat? I'm still alive? Confused, I tried my best to dodge incoming fires from "A/)-Krauklis". But there was no incoming fires. As I looked out from the cockpit, I saw bits and pieces of "A/)-Krauklis" floating around in the space. My ship's onboard instant recording system showed that as I approached "A/)-Krauklis", my guns brought down her shield first. Then the "Shredder Mine" I deployed exploded, causing huge damage to "A/)-Krauklis"'s hull and brought down my newly charged shield. Coincidentally, "A/)-Krauklis" also deployed a mine at the time, which was triggered by the explosion of the "Shredder Mine", destroying "A/)-Krauklis" on the spot without giving any time to the pilot to use repairing bots.
After I came back to my senses, I tractored in the unused repair bots and shield batteries from the debris of "A/)-Krauklis" and had my ships repaired as new. I also received news from the crews on "CFV_Leonardo" that they had successfully shot down "A/)-Guillotine" as I was fighting "A/)-Krauklis". Immediately after "A/)-Krauklis" was destroyed, "Convenience.Distraction" fled the battle.
The biggest lesson I learned from this fight? Life is too short. The answer should always be "both" when it comes to the choice between chocolate and cinnamon donuts.
