CMDR Icarus and several other high rank CMDRS have boarded The Repulse...
12 Sep 2021Kbong85
THIS ARTICLE IS UNDER HEAVY CONSTRUCTION FINAL COPY WILL LOAD IN NEXT 25 DAYS!!!!Ladies and gentlemen we are coming to you live from the grand concourse of the repulse. Several high ranking EIC CMDRs have boarded the vessel with security teams in tow as well as a whole lot of soldiers nervously waiting on the lower decks that CMDR Heartless is in charge of...
Reporter: Sir, you are with in shop militia ordinance, a company here on the carrier. Do you know anything about this, the security teams wont let us get close, and no rumors appear to be flying.
Shopkeeper: Its no secret here on the carrier honestly, yesterday heartless enterprises announced that not only has Ortega Martinez regained consciousness he is himself once again. that isnt the big news here though, analysis of his thargoid implants has revealed the location of Kelly Klaufenburg. She is being held in a remote star system with one small planet, in order for secrecy the carrier will be remaining here, and the ships will be departing and hyperjumping to the location.
Reporter: They announced this yesterday? why didnt the media know?
Shopkeeper: It was for security that it was only released in company channels. The CMDRs that you are seeing here, are here for the final briefing before departure. The troops seen on the lower decks are refitting SRBs and personal armaments for heavy weapons deployment. Central command believes that the situation that we are walking into is not only an obvious trap, but that we will be facing overwhelming opposition.
Reporter: OMG! We are talking about a major offensive here...
Shopkeeper: Yes we are, however there is a bit of bad news, once the CMDRs and their forces depart the carrier will be going to yellow alert...
Reporter: NO... not.
Shopkeeper: Yeah, it means non essential personnel confined to quarters and only military personnel in the halls.
Reporter: great... it looks like there is a lot of action down on the flight deck.
Shopkeeper: Yeah there is, i know there are a few reporters down on that deck as well that are reporting with some of the flight engineers on the landing pads. you should really be down there... either way we gotta finish closing up and locking down here. i still have over 500 rifles to deliver to the flight deck as well as the special package. so i really have to go.
Reporter: special package?
Shopkeeper: Im not saying anything more.
***FEED CUTS FOR 5 MINUTES***
Reporter: CMDR Heartless has allowed us exclusive access to the meeting taking place with the top teir CMDRs from EIC that will be along for the operation....
CMDR Heartless: CMDRs no doubt you all have questions, in this briefing we hope to answer all of them. in order for us to execute this operation as quickly as possible, we will only be allowing questions at the end. Tactical officer sheppard will now begin the operations plan... Officer...
SHeppard: Thank you CMDR, as you can all see here in the holo projection this is the facility that we are up against, the facility itself spans 10s of levels underground..fortunately for us it appears she is being held on sub level 2, in their isolation wing. The facility itself is a repurposed prison colony, most of the levels are still cells, however the lower levels contain fuel refineries... so its really important to not trigger any heavy explosives in or around the facility, there could be gas exhaust vents that we dont know about... okay, so now we move onto the operations phase of this, so i will now detail what teams will be together, and the entry points and plan in the facility, during the operation i will remain onboard the carrier and try to communicate via tightbeam.
We fully expect a multi situation encounter, including combat in space, in order to screen for our ground teams entrance to the planet in question, several cmdrs will engage forces above the planet and distract them so the ground teams can begin their advance on the planet. 5 CMDRS will stay in orbit while the ground team heads to the surface, once the ground teams have arrived safely and forward command has been setup, the forces engaged in space will break away and head down to the surface and join the operation.
CMDR Icarus: This all sounds straight forward i dont understand the need for senior officers to participate in the operation at this scale. Can you explain to me why senior leadership was brought into this operation?
Sheppard: Of course. Plain and simple CMDR, as i am sure that you are aware in order to use heavy explosives and ordinance senior officers will be required on site during the operation. We have weaponized 3 rovers to assist in this operation. Each of them is carrying a 2 kiloton payload of explosives in nuclear form. While the yields themselves are quite low senior officers are required for this type of operation. beyond that CMDR Heartless has declared this situation a class 1 emergency operation. So several senior officers are required to participate in the operation to not only ensure operation success but to also minimize collateral damage.
CMDR Icarus: These are low yield tacticals i imagine that we are talking about here, collateral damage isnt a situation of minimization, but a matter of fact problem.
Sheppard: CMDR Icarus we dont know exactly what we are going to be up against until we are there. The explosives are going to be a necessity, we plan to deploy at least 2/3 of the payload just to achieve mission success, however 100% will mean destruction of the facility. We assume that tactical command in their facility will be alerted by forces in space that we are on approach to the planetoid, and will automatically assume maximum containment protocols and close the two blast doors that secure the 2 main doors to the surface, this facility is 99% subterranean, the only reason we have schematics is because this is a Heartless Enterprises constructed facility. 2 years ago heartless Enterprises was employed to construct a Federal containment facility for the Pilots Federation Most Wanted. Since then the prisoners were moved to more technological facilities, and the complex was taken over by a Doors Subsidiary. Heartless Enterprises maintains corporate connections with Doors International, since the initial phases following the Taelon Arrival on earth. Just to give a little background, now Doors operates in a more contractor type status, with state of the art security systems, because of this we know what we are up against infrastructure wise at least.
CMDR Icarus: Destruction of the facility? WHOA WHOA WHOA!!! No one said anything about destruction of the facility...
CMDR Heartless: I already obtained clearance for destruction of the facility through CMDR DF from the imperial security council... however i understand the ramifications of such an act. however i feel to severely disrupt this groups ability to operate, that we may have to do this. I as well as all of you will bare the weight of this cross should we decide to execute this act... we know that any persons not operating on space stations are always in specialized suits, even in the event of sudden decompression. so we have a bit less to worry about, however should we decide to pursue this course of action we will sound the evacuation alarms.
CMDR Icarus: I still dont like it... This seems beyond the scope of the work that we traditionally do.
CMDR Heartles: I understand your hesitancy, however I feel this is a multi headed operation at this point. I know no one is comfortable with the destruction of a facility... But unless something substantial changes here we dont have any other choice. This is a pirate operation that is involved in kidnapping and extortion, the fact the we are even having this discussion is more than enough to state our understanding and committment to human welfare. I have already contracted over 30 beluga passenger liners to evacuate personnel from the facility that are from their faction. In the event they accept such an offer they will be immediately detained as prisoners of war, to await further determination. I know no one is comfortable with any of this, however I would once again like to remind everyone that Kelly Klaufenburg is EIC personnel, she has undergone all of the required tests and admittance factors and bares our insignia on all of her uniforms, she is one of us. And I dont know about the rest of you but quote me as saying this. Kelly Klaufenburg is family, and I dont like anyone messing with my family. We will bring her home, and thats an order." In the end icarus, we expect to acquire a fair amount of new loyal employees from this gambit, as happened in our picaurukan offensive, which i should remind you has led to the further refinement of tritium, with a significant amount of benefits to our entire company, the security bots that operate on ALL EIC carriers is a testament to this projects benefits. Sadly due to Pilot Federation Treaty guidelines we are unable to produce any better upgrades for combat equipment in independent pilot inventories.
CMDR Icarus: Alright, so its been decided. What exactly is our attack strategy here?
Sheppard: Thank you, as you can see we have several nuclear devices tagging along for this journey, these are directional 2kiloton photon bombs, so while they are somewhat low yield we are still dealing with heavy explosives here, so i would once again like to remind everyone to be very careful around these, this includes weapons fire, the magnetic fields that will be generated from the smaller arms could prematurely activate, and potentially detonate the devices, you see the triggers are a wee bit touchy. Anyway ive digressed, 3 teams in total will be operating on the planet, teams alpha and bravo will be leading the insertion troops, we expect the enemy to engage bulkhead doors on arrival of the first several starships touching down, which is why the heavy ordinance. However that being said another device will be driven in via scarab, and delivered to the lower levels of the facility. This device will be used to ensure destruction of the facility, CMDR Heartless' Personal guard will be the troopers that will escort the scarab to the lower levels.
CMDR Icarus: And who is operating the scarab?
Sheppard: CMDR Heartless will be piloting the bunker buster as we have named the buggy. The buggy has the bomb fully integrated into its systems, in order to utilize every available ounce of power to destroy the facility completely. So, on level one we have the main security contingent... ***Instruction wear on....*** And there you have it, we expect the final outcome of the mission to be completely with a 78% success rate. Provided troopers use the buggies to shield themselves from weapons fire, we expect our forces attrition rate at less than 3%.
CMDR Icarus: I still dont understand why the repulse isnt operating in the offensive directly in the system.
Sheppard: It is... we leaked recently that the carrier wouldnt be directly involved in the assault however we have decided that in order to support the operation in the most useful capacity that the ship will need to be in orbit over the moon to ensure maximum operational success, her systems will be invaluable, and will allow craft to execute a hastier retreat, especially the beluga fleet, which will be hauling any personnel defecting to our cause. During this time CMDR Lightstorm, Ruby's younger sister will be in command of the carrier. So... there you have it, this is the information on the facility that we have, provided everything goes according to plan, we will extracty Kelly, and deal a crippling blow to the advanced tritium production in the facility. CMDR Icarus, as we spoke earlier, I am hoping that we still have the tactical support of the EIC Ancillary Fleet.
CMDR Icarus: Yes allied ships have already begun arriving, from this point forward fleet command has been reassigned to the bridge of the repulse. They are at your command as are the rest of us....
Sheppard: Several more minutes of briefs and holo demos continue... Okay gentleman, you have your orders. CMDR Heartless will remain aboard the carrier until the last possible moment to assist with command, following that she will depart for the operation area... I should also let everyone here know, that there have been scattered reports of an ancient, yet very potent weapon being assembled at the facility. So a secondary objective will be to obtain the plans for this new weapon, and destroy any construction toward its development. This weapon has the ability to destabilize starships at the molecular level... and essentially scour organic components which damage the overall integrity... several of CMDR Heartless organic experimental facilities have been completely decimated by this weapon... a secret to which Heartless Enterprises guards closely, the problem with this overall is the ability to damage critical systems as well as the structural integrity of the carriers, while almost everything is hard material construction, the requirements for repairs on the molecular level.
Cmdr Heartless: All that was left was the structural spines were all that held up, everything else was literally vaportized....
Bridge: Sir, the bridge is going to alert status and beginning final preparations before mission departure... Hyperdrive has been engaged, T minus 15:30 until departure, we estimate a 20 to 30 second hold before primary systems return and we can begin mission execution....
Sheppard: Roger that control, we are sending troops and CMDRs to their zones now... Ladies and gentlemen that concludes are briefing, your troops are assembled, and awaiting your speeches, at t minus 5 mins to departure all troops and CMDRs will be required to be onboard their ships and prepped for departure... CMDRs God Speed, and good luck to you...
Breaking now to the Hangars, the CMDRs are delivering their speeches....
CMDR Icarus: Good Morning, in less than an hour starships from here will join others from around the galaxy... And you will be launching the largest aerial and ground offensive in the history of EIC.... Those words should have new meaning for all of us today... We cant be divided by our petty differences anymore... We will be united in our common interest... perhaps its fate that today is Heartless Liberation day, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom, not from tyranny oppression or persecution, but from annihilation... We are fighting for our right to live, to exist, and should we win the day, Heartless Liberation day will no longer be known as a company holiday, but a day when the galaxy declared in one voice WE WILL NOT GO QUIETLY INTO THE NIGHT, WE WILL NOT VANISH WITHOUT A FIGHT, WE ARE GOING TO LIVE ON WE ARE GOING TO SURVIVE TODAY WE CELEBRATE EIC LIBERATION DAY!!!
CMDR DF: “Never before have so many come together--from all quarters of East India Company. But never before have we faced an enemy such as this. These Pirates will show us no mercy. We must give them no quarter. They will terrorize our populations. We must stand fast in the face of that terror. They will advance until our last city falls, but we will not fall. We will prevail. Each of us will be defined by our actions in the coming battle. Stand fast. Stand strong. Stand together. Hackett out.”
CMDR Hearltess: Ladies and gentleman make no mistake we are up against one of the gravest threats, what we see here today will rival anything any of you have ever seen. In the next several hours we will be storming one of the most well guarded and constructed prison facilities that has ever been constructed... leave it to our subsidaries to spare no expense... I expect the very best out of all of you today, one of our own Kelly Klaufenburg is in trouble, we are here to solve that trouble for her. While I know my speech isnt the flashiest I remind all of you to stay on your toes and to take into account every detail. Each one of you that serves on this mission with me has been specially selected for your skillset, while i know we have those among us that are modest at heart and dont know how you will respond. I encourage all of you to use your best judgement on this mission. We will be in coordination with 3 teams total, if something doesnt feel right i want you to report it... if something feels off say something. We are in somewhat of unknown territory here, while your commanding officers may seem to have all the answers, we only do so with the information you provide us. 4 of you have been specially selected for the tactical termination of this facility, you have counterparts with 3 other commanders, heed their subordinates orders with care and make the best decision possible. We have over 40, 000 of you that were available mission but we have selected elite teams of 300 for this mission divided amongst the 3 task forces... Again team, inform us with every observation made... your care is what allows us to fulfill this mission... and for my final words I once again remind all of you.... Why we are on this particular mission we'll never know... but I do know that here today, the black knights will emerge victorious once again...
DF Combat team: Sir CMDR Heartless flight seems lathargic, we are providing cover as best we can however her ship is still taking a substantial beating...
DF: Relax pilot CMDR Heartless has built her ship to withstand extended punishment, she runs biweaves instead of quick charges, she knows her ships well... do not fret... we are all about to enter valhalla... We have a long road ahead...
Heartless: Teams we have a break in the lines dropships have already begun approach and left the area, I advise all remaining support craft to follow them down and prepare for phase 2...
DF: Roger that CMDR, all craft follow her orders.
CMDR: Sir she will be left completely alone in the combat break....
DF: Dont worry CMDR Heartless always has a plan, that is one thing that i have learned about her in the few years we have known each other, while all of you see opportunity she sees fallback positions...
Heartless: Carrier we are taking heavy fire here, requesting code 3 artillery support...
Carrier: CMDR These weapons are wide impact if you even catch a glancing blow...
Heartless: Im well aware of the risks, emergency alert on the carrier code 2, go to emergency alert stations... I am expecting reprisal against the flight deck once they realize what we are up to...
Carrier: CMDR Break point in combat will be in 1:30, we advise you move towards mission objective at that time...
Heartless: Confirmed Flight, please advise me of ground combat status when i begin final approach to the planet... unless I advise otherwise the offensive is not to begin until Im groundside...
Carrier: Status report requested on support payload for the mission....
Hearltess: Support payload bay is at 97% integrity, craft is at 100% intergrity, we expect mission success at 98% at this time...
Carrier: Confirmed, Sir the window has arrived its time to begin your break, `7 support craft are moving into your area to facilitate your withdrawl.... break in 3... 2... 1... now... Allied forces now arriving at your position....
Heartless: Confirmed flight beginning decent to surface... we are encountering moderate anti air fire...
Carrier: Flight confirms... steady as she goes heartless you can outmanuever almost anything down there...
Heartless: Confirmed flight switching to operation channel 5... we are now clear of descent beginning orbital glide, 10 seconds out... confirm.
Carrier: Flight confirms Heartless we will join you on channel 6 god speed, and good luck down there boys...
Heartless: Attention flight teams, we are finalizing approach, ground forces please confirm visual contact with the doomsday...
Ground CMDR Icarus: We see you CMDR you are clear for final approach...
Heartless: Roger that ground control, switching to mode 4 automated landing approach.
Heartless on Intercom: Ladies and gentleman we are in automatic sequence from here, we have 128 troops in the hold, CMDRS as soon as we are down deploy... We are already running 5 mins behind schedule, the forces in orbit were more than we expected...
Ground team CMDR Heartless ship: Roger that CMDR, troops are already prepped for deployment...
Heartless radio call: ground troops we are touching down now, in less than 5 minutes we will breach the compound...
Heartless at ground station: Icarus where are we?
Icarus: We are ready to go CMDR as expected the facility has closed their bulkhead doors for the main runway, all 3 scarabs with the scorpion armor are deployed and awaiting orders including the one from you ship....
Heartless: excellent position craft 2 at the main door, and tell the pilot to set the sequence for 60 seconds and to abandon the craft immediately...
Icarus: Unit 2 proceed to mission rally point alpha, and deploy payload, set timer to 60 secs and haul ass back here....
Unit 2: Roger CMDR craft in position setting charge...
Icaurs: I hope this is the right thing to do...
Heartless: at worst we may see a few people fly out of the door, because of protocol almost all staff should be outfitted with remlock autosuits...
Demolition Officer: Sir 3 seconds to the big one... 3... 2... 1... BOOM!
small mushroom clouds begin to form outside of the blast doors...
Heartless: Report?
Demolitions officer: Sir, that did it, we have breached the outer doors...
Heartless: Excellent, Alpha and Bravo Teams Move in...
Team Cmdrs: Yes Sir!!!
Heartless: Charlie team, setup a perimeter... we are on our own from here boys, everyone stay frosty.
Suddenly gunfire begins to appear from the smoke still surrounding the entrances...
CMDR Icarus: Sir, we have breached the facility, and are moving forward.
Heartless: Roger that Icarus, the base command center should be down one level in the central spire...
DF: CMDR We have arrived at the command center, we are encountering heavy resistance, we have lost 3 troops from bravo team already...
Icarus: CMDR We have met up with the other team, and are beginning to establish a perimeter on lvl 1...
Heartless: Roger that, I will begin approaching the facility with the scarab... and will move inside once we receive the all clear.
Icarus: Sir we have a problem here...
Heartless: Go ahead...
DF: Its the security on the station we are attempting an override but it appears that someone is blocking us...
Heartless: Understood continue to hack the main computers I am guessing that there is someone in an auxilary control room fighting back...
Icarus: Got it... I found the auxilary control room and am reading ten life signs inside...
Heartless: So much for the element of surprise. Am I clear to enter the facility?
Icarus: Cleared for approach..
Suddenly several doors around the main spire open and heavy weapons troopers begin spilling out...
DF: EVERYONE DOWN NOW!!!
Just then a flurry of gunfire begins hitting the walls and several monitors in the control room.
Icarus: CMDR We are under attack at the command spire, we need backup NOW!!!
Heartless: On my way CMDR. *mumbles: Go figure of course this has to go south.
Scarab computer: Under attack, shields at 50%...
Heartless: Computer initiate override on power systems and transfer auxilary power to the engines...
Scarab Computer: Warning, selected operation requires override code... Awaiting code...
Heartless: Authorization code, just shut up and do what i tell you...
Scarab Computer: Authorization accepted...
Scarab Computer: WARNING!!! Engines operating outside of safety limits...
Heartless: Yep, thats the general idea.
Icarus: CMDR WHERE ARE YOU?!?!? WE ARE LOSING GROUND HERE!!!
Heartless: I see you guys now, geez you werent kidding about being pinned down.
DF: CMDR it seems they are throwing this party in honor of you...
Heartless: really?
Icarus: The heavy troops didnt appear until you radioed that you were approaching the base...
Hearltess: Well lets show them some hospitality. SHIP BRING WEAPONS ONLINE AND BEGIN FIRING AT NON FRIENDLY TARGETS!!!
Within a couple of seconds the weapons turret unfolds from the top of the shift and begins hammering at the attacking forces with ease.
Scarab Computer: Warning! Under attack! shields at 25%.
Heartless: I know... CMDR You should have enough of a window to begin firing back, my shields on the buggy are failing.
DF: Alright on 3, open fire!!!
Within a few seconds the troops are down on the ground... And the insertion teams begin emerging from the command center.
Heartless: Report?
DF: Were okay here sir, no casualties on our side but the command center is trashed, they blew out just about everything.
Heartless: Of course they did... Alright, did you at least locate the auxilary command center?
DF: Yes! Its on sub level 24...
Heartless: Sub-level 24?
DF: Yes, meaning they are in the bowels of the facility.
Heartless: Great which means that we need to bring all of you downstairs with me...
Icarus: CMDR that poses great risk to our teams if we plan to blow the facility...
Heartless: Well the main reactors are on sub level 28... below sub level 24 Im assuming that security will be tighter with more locked doors. We need you guys to gain computer control of the facility and activate the evacuation alarm.
Icarus: Okay we will hack the secondary command center, once we have completed our work in the control room we will evacuate leaving only you and your elite guard to head down to 28.
Heartless: Understood, Ground control we need to move deeper into the facility to establish control. Please be advised that the insertion team will gone longer than expected...
Ground CMDR: Understood CMDR!!!
Heartless: Alright saddle up and lets go...
The troops continue to fight their way down to the lower levels. Using the scarab as cover along the route.
Heartless: Okay guys we have made it to sub level 24 500m down that hallway is the control room. Icarus and DF move toward that zone, my elite guard and I are going to head to the elevators.
DF: Understood.
Heartless: Please let us know once you have taken control of the facility.
As the teams split off DF and Icarus take their troops toward the control room and engage the guards securing the area dispatching them quickly.
Icarus: CMDR We have taken the control room stand by, DF is beginning the hack...
DF: I got it, and Im in. Holy crap this system is huge. Im not sure which...
Icarus: Look for sub level eleavators, technician find the evacuation alarm and sound it...
DF: Heartless you need to get to the control room NOW!!!
Heartless: What is going on?
DF: Do you remember that weapon that we had sketchy reports about... well...
Heartless: Okay we are on our way.
Heartless comes down the hall and is entering the control room.
Icarus: There it is... in all of her glory... however a bit of bad news...
Heartless: Which is?
DF: The weapon is not only complete its been activated and is charging up right now... It would appear to be a quantum vortex...
Icarus: I have heard of those, however they havent been used in over 300 years.
DF: has anyone located Kellie yet?
Heartless: yes, charlie team sent a group of 4 into the facility after we secured the main level, and checked the cells on sub level 6 and found her. she is already on her way to the doomsday.
DF: Okay so we achieved the primary objective, now for the secondary.
Icarus: CMDR I think I know why the weapon is active and drawing power...
Heartless: They have it targeted on The Repulse dont they?
Icarus: It looks like the weapon is almost finished charging. Meaning...
Heartless to The Repulse: Lightstorm its ruby you have to take the carrier and the fleet into hyperspace immediately...
Lightstorm: Whats going on?
Heartless: It looks like the weapon is indeed a quantum vortex.
Lightstorm: A quantum vortex how?
Heartless: It cant be shut down.
Lightstorm: How long do we have?
Heartless: Less than 10 minutes.
Lightstorm: The drives cant engage that quickly.
Heartless: We will do what we can from down here... Heartless out!
Lightstorm on the bridge: ALL HANDS CODE 5!!! Repeat ALL HANDS CODE 5.
Suddenly the crew aboard the bridge and the rest of the ship begin to scramble.
Icarus: so what do we do?
DF: There is no way they can do a hyperspace drop that quickly.
Heartless: Sound the evacuation alarm, and activate the facilities auto destruct...
Icarus: Got it...
less than 10 seconds later.
Facility Computer: Warning Self Destruct sequence has been activated, all personnel evacuate immediately.
Heartless: okay it looks like there is an emergency purge vent hooked up to the weapon that intersects with level 28, we can use that shaft to escape. As for the rest of you get the hell out of here.
DF and Icarus: Yes mam, you heard her men move out, and signal the ground forces to take cover.
Heartless: 10 mins thats cutting it tight, guards with me. lets hit the elevator get to level 28 set the charge and run.
Elite Commando: YES MAM!!!
the group of 5 continue their trip down into the lower levels of the facility, while the rest of the forces join the evacuation effort, helping fleeing support staff exit the facility.
Lightstorm: This is the repulse to all ground forces please be advised that Beluga class evacuation shuttles are now landing on the surface.
Heartless: Understood Aurora what is the status of the fleet?
Lightstorm: We have activated emergency power up sequence on the drive but...
Heartless: Yeah I know.
Elite Commando: We are here sublevel 28...
Heartless: Okay guys we dont have a lot of time here. Lets set the bomb and get out of here.
Elite Commando: Mam, these tanks here look similar to the ones on the repulse just BIGGER!!!
Heartless: Its enhanced tritium im parking the rover next to the tanks. Setting device at 6 mins. LETS GO!!!
As alarms and announcements continue to blare through the facility speakers, panicked staff are running for the exits and towards the outside forces.
Heartless: Ground control begin emergency power up on all ship drives we have 3 minutes to get out of here. There was a lot more Tritium in the facility than we expected. We need to get off this rock NOW!!! Order the belugas to depart as soon as they have the last passenger onboard each ship. We need to get to orbit.
Icarus: Understood CMDR our teams are all present and accounted for and we are boarding the vessels now.
With less than 2 minutes to spare heartless and her elite commandos exit the air shaft and run for the doomsday.
Klaufenburg: CMDR Im onboard the doomsday and have begun pre flight sequence we are ready to depart as soon as you are aboard.
Heartless: Kelly its so good to hear your voice again we will be to the ship in under 30 seconds. LETS GO MEN MOVE IT!!!!
Heartless: all CMDRS begin your launch sequence, as much as i would like to stay and watch this go down we need to go...
Icarus: CMDR you are the last one still on the ground, TAKE OFF NOW!!!
Heartless: Launch sequence complete beginning ascension...
DF: How much longer do we have...
Icarus: Clocks show less than 15 seconds.
Heartless: Heartless to all vessels we have cleared the planet.
seconds later, a bright like appears through several cracks along the surface...
Heartless: All ships raise shields and transfer auxilary power, the planet has become unstable.
Lightstorm: This is Aurora to all ships get onto the carrier now or jump out of the system!!!!
Heartless: Touchdown, Aurora im onboard the vessel.
Lightstorm: Confirmed cmdr. Hyperdrive is charged and ready, beginning jump sequence.
moments later the planet becomes a fiery explosion. As the last of the ships jump into hyperspace.
Heartless reports to the bridge moments later.
Heartless: Report!
Woolsey: CMDR we did it, all ships are safely in hyperspace, that was a close one.
Lightstorm: Yeah you're telling me, we should address the crew of the ship. It has been quite chaotic up here.
Heartless: Understood, give me shipwide.
Repulse Computer: Shipwide.
Heartless: This is CMDR Heartless, I would like to inform you that our mission was successful, and our crew member kelly has been brought home. I want to thank all of you for your patience and hard work during these very trying times. so... All hands stand down from combat stations.
Repulse Computer: All hands the carrier is resuming yellow alert status. Repeat yellow alert status.
Heartless: Okay I need to go meet with DF and Icarus. While our mission was sanctioned, the destruction of the planet wasn't.
Shipwide: All squad commanders debrief will begin in 1 hour. Please report to the conference room on the command deck. The rest of you are relieved, good job everyone.
Icarus, DF, and CMDR Heartless all proceed to Heartless' office.
Heartless: Well that was exciting. Where do we stand with the refugees?
DF: They have been restricted to temporary quarters for the time being. We will begin meeting with them shortly to determine whether they will join us or if we will be returning them.
