:INCOMING TRANSMISSION:
This flight contriol at Cavalieri Station in Electra. We are experiencing catastrophic infastructure damage due to Thargoid attacks. We are in dire need of rescue. We have personnel trapped on the station that need evacuation to the megaship. PLEASE! Can anyone come to our aid?
Attention crew, we have recieved a distress call from Electra. Thargoid incursions are taking place and stations need evac. LT Munoz, I need you and your crew to assemble your AX security team and deal with the Thargoid threat. I have recalled all available crew, except Colonia crew, from active missions to aide and assist with the station evacuations. We have 2 Saud Kruger ships, the Dolphin and Orca, equipped for rescue purposes. LCDR Wise and I will be piloting them to assist with evac.
The Savior
The Messiah
Upon arrival, the scene is worse then we expected. The station is on fire and covered with caustic substances. It's heartbreaking to see something humanity has worked so hard on, be reduced to a burning port. Flight control acknowledged our mission to evac and the terror in their voice brought shivers down MY spine!
All autodock sequences have been suspended due to intense heat and debris inside the station. We slowly eneter the burning station and the heat is intense. Several heatsinks needed to be deployed before I even landed on the emergency pad. LCDR Wise in the dolphin Messiah didn't take much heat damage due to the dolphin having better heat management. Explosions nearly blew me off my pad.
We docked and were directly taken into the hangar where we were met with passenger control teams. Both the Messiah and Savior were quickly filled with frantic personnel ready to depart the station. Men, women, children and pets all scared to death that they might die on the station. My crew were exceptional at providing assisstance and keeping the passengers calm and relaxed. All cabins full, we quickly proceeded to leave the hangar and station. As soon as we lifted off, an explosion blew the Savior off course and nearly slammed into the station wall. The sounds of passengers screaming and children crying strengthened my resolve to get us back on course and out of this burning death trap!
Lined up with the mail slot, I slammed on the afterburner and shot out of that hole like a greased up cannonball! :Attention crew and passengers: We have left the station and are on our way to the megaship! Cheers and cries of joy swept through the ship. I recieved confirmation that the Messiah had also safely exited the station and is enroute to the megaship.
We arrived at the megaship within a few minutes and began automatic docking procedures. Both of my rescue ships safely touched down on the megaship and began unloading thankful personnel. My crew and myself recieved handshakes, hugs and bows of reverence from gracious evacuees. I looked over at LT Welch and LCDR Wise and a shot them a sigh of relief, but our mission is far from over. There are many more scared and terrified people on that station. We loaded back up into our ships and plotted a course back to Cavalieri. We won't stop till everyone is safe!
Signing off....
