Pulling Lt Sorrel out of damm lockup again was great start to a shitty day made worse by the lecture from Garner on repsecting rights of gunners and hacks in engine room. Well that was start of my day it all got better afterwards. Well slighty after watching Star Wolves launch from the tubes for their weekly CAP, i got my daily breifing on the Buckets and beasts assignments which included a lovely tour duty for buckets pilots guarding miners. I'm glad i didnt get the 58th to pull that the rate of loses to ambushes is rising. Well the Beast that is guarding the Civie fleet cant get more boring than that but it's better than dying in asteriod field. Mid afternoon and Hoshi gave me a panic update from the CAP and condition 1 is raised around the ship in the matter of seconds. I met my pilots enroute while we suited up i gave a quick brief. "Ok Boys and Gals im going make this quick Green Squadron found its self a nice juicy sized convoy made up of two cargo ships, four heavy raiders, and twice as many escorts. DRAIDIS also reports twelve clyon contacts between us and Green so lets get to it break by Squadrons watch your backs, Red you got transports if they're still in play lets go GO." Feeling the stick within my hand let my eyes rest on the launch controller and i nod slighty to Higgins and look straight down the tunnel and the thrust grips my body slamming my back hard against the seat. With that I'm in open space, looking left and right I can see the rest of the 58th emerging from the tubes and forming up. Looking down at DRAIDIS and then around my cockpit I motion to Gold to form up and we throttle up and head out contacts. In the end it wasn't much more than a mop up mission. Red knocked out the transports in single pass Green fell back behind Gold and Blue to lick its wounds. |
