As I walk the long, dark halls of Corsica, I get increasingly nervous as I approach Admiral Vinchezos office, it was enough of a demand when I requested to be moved up to command a destroyer, but now, my body is covered in sweat, I can only imagine how Vinchenzo will react when I request to pilot a Ranseur dreadnought. I look to my partner Chloe, as nervous as I am, but I'm happy to have her here, shes always been my best friend, we knew each other since birth on Malta. Now we both steel ourselves as we enter the admirals office. "Greetings you two, I realive you have requested to move up from your destroyer to, a Ranseur?" "Yes sir." Chloe says. I gulp as it is my turn to speak. "We just believe that we have become experienced enough, to... to... request this upgrade!" I start rambling over myself. "relax you two, I perfectly undertand that you want to transfer, and after how you two in that destroyer handled a Corsair dreadnought In Eta, I will approve your request." We both start cheering. "You will be put in command of a dreadnought that will be christened, the Nightfury. We start staring, grinning from ear to ear. "Yes, I see that your happy, now get to the shipyard, youv got a lot of work to do.
After two weeks of the ship being built, we finally went to see the ship, as we decended in the elevator, I was amazed at the massive cross-shaped bow. Me and Chloe enter the ship and are beaming at each other."Shes a mighty fine ship isnt she Chloe?" "It sure is." I am purely amazed at her shining metal halls and new equipment. We soon head to the bridge, full of new equipment and shiny metal, we see two polished metal chairs near the front of the bridge, these... are for us, I thought. As soon as our crew of 200 men arrives, we are put into space, before we know it Corsica tower contacts us. ~~"MNS-Nightfury, are you ready for tests?"~~ I'm too nervous to respond, thank God Chloe responds for me, "Roger Corsica,we are ready." "TEST MANEUVERING" Our crew turns and moves the ship in every which way to test the maneuvers, then we pass. "TEST SPEED USAGE" We start the throttle and test our kiting procedures, we pass agin. "TEST WEAPONS" The final test is smooth, a Corair readnought pops up, it fires test lasers at us, but then we activate our strategy, pulse cannons for shields, cerebrus turrets for the hull. Soon the Dreadnought and multiple fighters and bombers are destroyed. "TEST RESULTS.....RESULTS:100%" We woop and cheer and congragulate our crew, then a transmission from Corsica.~~"MNS-Nightfury, you are clear to proceed to Omicron Alpha"~~ "Roger that Corsica!" I cheer into the radio. "Alright men, set course for Valetta shipyard!" Chloe barks out cheerfully. "Right away commander!" And then the cruise engines jolt to life, we can hear the humming of the powerful engine reactor as it charges, then we hit 350 speed, and Im whooping and cheering all the way to the jump hole. "Sir, we have reached the jump hole" "Jump through." Chloe says, I think shes gonna do a good deal of talking to the crew. "Its been a long two weeks, but now we are on our way Chloe" "Of course."
