The Resurgency bore down upon the sleeper ship Hispania, the lead ship of the floatilla of sleeper vessels, and their first shot at hijacking one of the vessels. If they missed their chance, then the would have a few days to reposition again to take a shot at the Sleeper ship Kusari... Liberty after that... and lastly the Bretonia.
It had been a day of drills, preparations, and readiness, and at last they were closing in on firing range.
"Echo-Four, I have a firing solution on target Sierra-one..."
"Confirmed Gunsight, Echo-Four to Conn, bring the nose around for a perfect angle."
"Confirmed Echo-Four," Alvarez replied, nudging the battlecruiser so that it's bow drifted to line up with the Hispania ahead of them.
"Two shots at this," XiaoBei warned. "Either we risk one, or both our CDs on this ship, or we target one of the others..."
"I don't believe in second chances," Admiral Broch replied. "Load both CDs, and fire them in rapid succession. Either we put our faith in the grand plan, or we might as well give up entirely."
"Hispania on CBDR," Alvarez reported. "Thirty seconds till optimum firing range..."
Broch looked apprehensive, her brow furrowed as she rested hands on the command rail, watching the scopes and the displays around her.
"Ten seconds..." Alvarez moistened his lips. Everything hung on a single roll of the dice, and it all depended on the Admiral's gut feeling.
"Two... One...." Alvarez counted off.
"Fire!" Broch said, all hesitation and doubt gone in a single moment of awe inspiring strength.
The weapons blasted away from the Resurgency, the first striking the port-side engines, while the second clipped the starboard with pin-point accuracy. The double flash, and boom saw all forward momentum of the ship cease, as it crashed out of cruise, pinwheeling in space.
"Get us alongside now!" Broch ordered. "Rhade, tell your men to go, go go!"
The Airlock was silent. Rhade and his troops, clad in Heavy Combat Armor, armed to the teeth waited. In a few moments, the Hispania would be in optimum range. In a few moments, the CD's would fire, and then be destroyed from the timeline. In a few moments, the Hispania would become a Coalition Asset.
Thirty Seconds...
There was not a sound.
Twenty Seconds...
Everyone was ready.
Ten Seconds...
There was no turning back. Failure was not an option.
Show time.
"GO GO GO!" violently, the Resurgency attached itself to the Hispania. The Airlock opened, greeting the Coalition Soldiers was the sight of an Alliance Flag. Rhade and his men rushed in, fanning out, ready to kill any opposition. None was found... yet.
"Broch, this is Rhade. Initial boarding area secure."
The first feelings Sayoko had when she entered the Sleeper Ship were quite scary to her. No guarding systems, dust everywhere between the large ammount of cryocubes, filled with the people from the Alliance, the Coalition's main enemy. There were minimal lights, which made it impossible to overview the large hallways.
'This place is creepy...I wonder what will await us here' she whispered to herself, having her assault rifle ready for combat, even tough there wasn't a single sign of life aboard the large ship.
Holmes formed up behind Ling, the warm air from the Hispania rushing through the airlock.
He was sitting on his ankles, his rifle gripped tightly as he waited for the advance. Here's to hoping i don't get shot.
He watched as Rhade's men piled past, fanning out into the opening.
gone four years, first day back: Zoners still getting shot in Theta :|
Holmes turned around, his two men still slowly backing down the corridor.
He approached the door. "Subsección de ingenierÃa E - motores primarios......Engineering. Main Engines. That's the one."
With that he rejoined his men, his rifle traversing the corridor they had just stormed down.

Miller was moving in right behind them, rifle cocked and ready to go. He was behind the recruits serving as cannon-fodder in case any resistance was met, his job merely to interpret situations and formulate the best possible responses.
He moved behind Rhade, keeping his eyes open, alert. His walking stick had been left on the Resurgency, he hoped his adrenalin would keep him from needing it. If not, he hoped his rifle was long enough to reach the floor from his hand.
[17:45:39] Wolfs Ghost (Murphy): Tom, you have problems. Go kill yourself.
[19:25:12] Johnny (Jam): Tomtom, I will beat you with a spoon.
[14:22:56] Prarabdh Thakur: KILL HIM WITH A SHEEP.
[17:40:48] Eagle (Junes): Tom should be slapped with a spoon.
[11:32:18] Warspite: Thank you for being so awesome Tom. <3
[18:17:36] Metano: I love you tomtom
[20:06:24] Warspite: I will seriously give you epic head.
' Wrote:Edit: also, Tomtomrawr, fappin' like a boss.
Ling moved the men forwards until they reached a massive blast door. He signaled the demolition officers forwards.
"Set charges here and here."
Ling pointed towards the hinges of the door leading to Main Engineering.
"We wait for Rhade to reach his objective, we detonate on his go. Until that point, dig in - Find some cover. No doubt intruder alarms and such have gone off. No Alliance soldier goes past this door! Excellent work Holmes, everyone - Prepare yourselves!"
Alvarez was monitoring the situation from the bridge of the Resurgency.
"Admiral, Captain Ling's forces have secured the engineering sections, while Colonel Rhade's forces are advancing on the control centers... Sensors are detecting a power surge near to the command location, and bulkhead doors are securing... I think the automated defense systems are cycling up..."
He paused, "I am also reading defrost cycles on thirty pods... looks like the security teams and the command crew are being roused from slumber... Rhade's going to get some shooting in a moment..."
He tapped the Comm. "Colonel Rhade, heads up, the cat's in the pantry, I repeat, the Cat's in the pantry!"
"Colonel Rhade, heads up, the cat's in the pantry, I repeat, the Cat's in the pantry!"
Rhade barely heard this as he fired several shots into an automated turret.
"Alpha team, go. Bravo, watch their six. Charlie, with me."
Rhade's team kept pressing forward, towards the Command Centers. Finally, the first signs of life. Of course, it was short-lived as soon as it raised it's rifle to fire.
"This is Rhade to the Resurgency, we're meeting resistance, but so far it's not a problem."
