I dont normaly do RP stuff but figured what the hell, I got bored at work and I’m hardly an English major so I’m sorry for any incorrect spelling and bad grammar that I’m sure is there, but here's a little something I wrote up after reading yet another one of those FE press releases, they really are pretty good.
*************************************************************
Commander and CEO Ariakas looked off into space with a tired yet determined look in his eyes. Taking a few moments to rest before addressing his pilots of the Black Nova Corporation. " Boys were getting out of here, I don’t care what it takes, were going to do it and ..." Lasers cut his short speech off. The Forsaken Empire and Fade troops had started another assault on the hanger that held the Black Nova assets. Pilots dove for cover as more returned fire into the Forsaken Empire/Fade troops a *****le of a communicator could be heard trying to make contact over the fire fight which now had gained new ferocity in the belly of the contested station, at the very heart of fade.
“.... Ariakas.... in route...Commander Sledgehammer...your coming home"
It was the message the pilots had been waiting a week for, the fleet was amassing. Ariakas snapped back.
"Be advised we have several hostiles in system with an unknown number of Battleships and Cruisers currently on patrol in and around the C4C system." Ariakas paused for a second as laser fire splashed agents the hanger walls. "OK lets beat these guys back and buy us some time to get in our ships and ready to get the hell out of here" A brash young pilot by the name of Neo Ghost made a dash for the hasty blockade that had been setup in the hanger, lobbing 2 thermal charges into the troops currently renewing the assault on the brave pilots hangers. The thud of explosives rocked the station and the firing stopped. "Excellent work there Neo, lets mount up the Calvary should be here any minute"
Sledgehammer set the comm device back down, hoping the communication had reached the embattled pilots. He watched as the small task force started to amass near the C4C system, he muttered a thanks to the Black Nova scientists who had developed new technology to hide the approach of the Task Force, nothing special just a quick dirty little device which would keep the ships from being detected by the GalNet deep space pilot mapping system for a few minutes. By the time they were noticed they would already be in system and hopefully be headed back home with their freed pilots.
"All ships perform battle readiness’ checks and confirm all systems are operational, we are moving out in less then 5 minutes" was the order the commander had issued. He watched and waited for the green light from all ships, one by one they reported in. "All weapons are live, lets warp in and get our people out" Commander Sledgehammer commenced a fleet warp to ensure that all ships were together, no unneeded risks were going to be taken, this was strictly a rescue operation, nothing gung-ho. The fleet approached the Jump gate into C4C un-opposed. "Ok lets jump,” commanded Sledgehammer, from his flagship a Raven Class Battle ship. As space came into view for the pilots they noticed no security presence by the gate into C4C, they had just arrived and were sure the alarm would be going out soon.
Alarms rang in the hanger as emergency lights turned on, Ariakas guessed the Forsaken Empire and Fade pilots had noticed the approaching fleet.
Sledgehammer commanded the Task force to move into a position an assaulting formation.
"On my mark we warp in" stated the commander "3...2..1.. Warp". The massive Battle ship learched forward as its warp dives were engaged. Coming out of warp the battlefield was displayed in front of the commander. As his pilots began to engage the oppressive fleet Ariakas made communication with the Commander
"You know you guys got some timing, we were just in the middle of a card game.."
"We could come back... concentrate fire on that scorpion... later if you would like" Sledgehammer retorted.
"Just give us word when you need us to undock, were ready to go home" Ariakas said,
"I think we have there attention undock now and lets clean these guys up". Just then an Apocalypse class Battleship of Black Nova could be seen starting to loose structural integrity. "These could be a tight Ariakas, were gonna need to be quick about it".
The Brave Pilots of Black Nova countered there assault keep eventually breaking the blockade of the C4C station and allowing there fellow corp mates to leave the system, it wasn’t a day to re-take fade, just to get some people home. Sadly 2 BNC Apocoyapse class Battleships were downed to 1 Enemy Battleship and 2 cruisers.
