| Introduction: A sudden engagement | ||

I looked at Peter when he walked in, “I think I want to try Saint Joseph.” He crossed to the holograph I was looking into, “why?” I switched to a data screen, “look at the traffic and the ship types.” He nodded, “very few warships.” I looked at him, “did you get the new engines installed?” We had taken new prototype engines as well as a reactor and new missiles from the last ship we had taken. We also had a new skip engine and a new grav screen. From everything we had looked at, it would improve the ship a lot. Of course I waited until we were back in our own station to let captain Jennings know. Peter grinned, “they went in smoothly and Lorenz said she will be ready for a test in the morning.” I nodded, “they were the last. If they test out we leave straight from the test.” He nodded and looked at the holograph again, “we going in a couple of days short and ghosting?” I touched a spot in the holograph, “right here outside and above the heliopause. I was thinking of ghosting to just above the normal jump point and waiting there.” Peter grinned, “I’ll let everyone know to go enjoy tonight.” I was piloting as we left the station and the ship moved smoothly, almost with a sense of hidden power. Lorenz was grinning from her holograph display as I began to accelerate over the belt and towards the heliopause. I started making turns and rolling the ship and sudden breaking and accelerations. It was a few hours before I looked at Lorenz, “it feels good but what do you think?” She and the other two engineers had been watching and she grinned, “perfect.” I sat back and set course out towards the heliopause. Weeks later the jump went smoothly and we coasted after we came out. I sat in the captain’s chair and glanced at Edgar, “anything?” He shook his head, “just a few cargo ships deeper in the system.” I relaxed, “twenty percent Sonia and set course for our site.” There was a lot of traffic in and out over the next week, all cargo ships. It was early morning when another appeared out of jump. This one was registered to Saint Michael and I nodded to myself as I hit the general quarters button and accelerated. I glanced at Edgar on scan, “any warships?” He shook his head, “nothing.” I checked everyone in as we got closer and we fired a warning shot. The cargo ship came to a stop but something didn’t feel right as we approached. I glanced at Edgar, “do a hull map.” He looked at me before turning back to do as I told him. He jerked a moment later as the missile warning screamed. I hit the skip button and we were lucky, the wormhole opened and we jumped. It was brief and then we came out of jump. I spun the ship, “target and fire Samantha.” We hadn’t gone far, in fact we had barely jumped past the cargo ship before coming out. Samantha was good and all six launchers fired as Lorenz began doing something and Tana shoved into the spare scan seat to start electronic countermeasures. All six missiles slammed into the cargo ship before a second set launched and a single missile screamed out towards us. I was prepared and rolled ship as I skipped past the ship again. We came out and I spun the ship to see it exploding. A wormhole opened beyond the heliopause and another cargo ship emerged and then a cruiser. I cursed, “target that cruiser and get it’s signature locked in!” Lorenz and Andy were bumping heads as they began changing settings and the cruiser fired from extreme range and Edgar grunted, “got it!” I skipped and turned the ship, “fire!” Samantha had been anticipating me and fired all six missiles before I skipped again. We jumped past the cruiser and came out and I spun the ship, “again!” Another six missiles raced out as the cruiser bucked and twisted. This time after we came out of jump and spun, it was to see the cruiser as a shattered wreck. I growled, “fire a warning shot past that cargo ship.” I went after the cargo ship as a missile was fired, “Edgar do another hull map.” He snarled, “already doing it.” I accelerated as it tried to flee and after the missile exploded it came to a stop. I looked back and nodded to Peter in the bridge hatch, “prep a boarding party.” He spun as Edgar looked back, “this one isn’t a decoy.” I nodded, “send the warning and tell the captain what to do.” I glanced at Tana, “go with the boarding party.” She nodded and stood to leave as I closed with the cargo ship and slowed, “anything else on the scan Edgar?” “No.” I edged closer to the port hatch a few minutes later and docked. I was tense as I listened to the boarding parties and kept glancing at the scan station and Edgar. The life boats separated from the cargo ship and Peter called all clear. Most of the boarding party returned and I got the green light from the hatch. I moved away as I changed the comm setting, “get it moving Peter.” I watched as the large cargo ship started moving and turned to head out after it. It was awhile before the cargo ship jumped and we followed. I didn’t relax and looked at Edgar, “go active and start scanning.” When he found the cargo ship I went after it as I kept looking at Edgar. He finally relaxed and glanced at me, “we have two fleet destroyers and a cruiser in range to skip but that’s it.” I turned on our SFT and watched as I closed with the cargo ship while Peter changed the SFT on the cargo ship. It took a couple of hours to link with and attach the corvette to the cargo ship. When I walked aboard the other ship I went straight to the cargo master’s office. I pulled up the cargo list and grinned, “they really wanted this to get through.” I glanced at the doorway when Peter stepped in, “would you believe we just took another ship loaded with prototypes?” He grinned, “we could use the missiles, they seemed to work a lot better than the old ones.” I nodded and stood, “get with Samantha and have our magazines reloaded.” He nodded and I turned to go to the captain’s quarters. This time I wasn’t going to announce what we had until we docked. I did send captain Jennings a message as I took a few souvenirs. Three weeks later we separated and docked. I sent the crew to wait in the lounge while I went around to meet captain Jennings. Peter was with me as we led him and the admiral from our ship to the cargo master’s office. The admiral jerked when he saw the cargo inventory and looked at me, “you should have told us before you docked.” I shrugged, “last time we weren’t treated very well.” He snorted as he stood, “did you keep a log?” I held out a comp screen and he glanced at me before taking it. The moment it got to the part about the decoy ship he stiffened, “decoy!” I waited as he looked at us and then back at the screen. A minute later he jerked, “that’s a demon class cruiser!” He looked at us again and I shrugged before he went back to reading. He stopped and held the screen out to Jennings, “I need to see the actual scan reading of what happened.” Peter grinned and held out a thick data spool, “anything else?” The admiral took the spool, “intel needs to debrief...” I shook my head, “if fleet wants a debriefing they can talk to me.” He looked at me as captain Jennings glanced up from the screen. I continued to look at the admiral, “your people did not treat us well and my crew do not need to take their crap.” He glanced at Jennings, “remind me to have a word with admiral Dale about courtesy.” He looked at me and Peter, “the captain will make up the pay vouchers and I will personally make sure your people get their colony credit.” I glanced at the captain, “we reloaded our magazines from the ship’s cargo.” The admiral snorted, “from what I saw they will go to good use.” |
