The sound of metallic thuds and explosions echoed across the channels coupled with the sounds of hurried shouts from the bridge aboard Vinknuts vessel. . . .
Silence . . .
In an instant Dendar knew his colleague had been downed as the main systems fragmented in the blast. A sigh of relief came from Dendars' lips as "Vinky" came onto the main corp communication holo screens in his pod.
"I'm alive - heading home!!"
Further shots could be heard as yet another Blacksheep vessel went in pursuit, the efforts to bury Vinknut proved in vain as his pod shot through the gate.
"Heading into dock - i'm safe"
"Roger Vinky, i'm en route to position" the voice came from Alaska coupled with the loud clunks over the comms as she was propelled from the station.
"Damn you men, GET ME MY THE RIGHT SETUP!!" came the shouts from Dendar as he paced around the docking bay beneath his Battleship. Several of the droid fitting cranes arrived late to prepare his ship. Several Miner II Lasers were still firmly fitted to the turret mounts. Dendars right fist slammed into his left palm as he gritted his teeth and snarled. His rage within was overpowering, the taste for killing Blacksheep was in a way an addiction - it had been long since those moments.
"In position........Oh my god....they're entering Heild right this moment, Dendar get the hell over here, we need more defence!!" The orange glow shot up on Alaska's HUD and she struggled to find range for a lock upon the Scorpion of Garreck. Shrill pipping sounds beeped as Garreck locked on bringing down the targetting systems of the Blackbird. Heavy fire ensued as missiles coupled them, breaking through Shield, Armour and Hull of the vessel.
"I'm losing her!! came the screams of Alaska to her crew "Move it - get me out of here!!" Several of her crew lay dead amongst the raging fires, jarred twisted metal jutted out from the internal structure as computer systems smoldered amidst the broken core.
-WARP DRIVE ACTIVE-
The Blackbird shot forward in a ball of fire towards its destination. Glancing as it shot forth, Alaska watched as the missiles lost sight of her but 2-5 km from her previous position.
Alaska docked that night in safety, medic teams and fire rescue were already awiting her arrival.
The enemy fleet soon left the system.
Dendar never did get to fly, instead he was resigned to admit that the fitting crew he had requested were but novices. Without the right modules he would become toast - he was not the kind of man to fight foolishly, Blacksheep knew what he was capable of from previous meetings.
Dendar looked at the message which beeped on his messenger. The message was clear:
"Long time, no see my old enemy. Just wanted to give a friendly hello. You were a formidable foe, and no doubt remain so. I'm sure we'll be meeting again on the battlefield. Do take care of yourself in the mean time.
Garreck"
Things were indeed to be taken care of...
