The Vice Admiral's conversation with Fleet Admiral Tyrell didn't end well.

"Bloody idiot" Taggert said once he knew the link was disconnected.

William didn't like the Fleet Admiral's orders, but he had to follow them. However, he was now in command of the entire fleet here in Nonua and they were cut off from Fleet HQ. There are times when the situation requires commanders to adjust their tactics.

arrow Admiral Zeric Cain
Military Command Building, Vangar Prime
Urnoua System

It was late at night and Zeric entered the main control room at the Vangar Military base in the capital city. There was no one inside due to the time of day. A secondary control room was manned at all times, so this one would be shut down during the overnight hours. Zeric was here on a mission, he was going to hack into the secured military database and try to find some info he was searching for.

Zeric had no luck on his personal computer in his office, he was locked out from certain files, files that he would normally have access to. What he was doing now was illegal, and could cost him more than his career in the Dominion military.

Admiral Cain walked up to an array of servers that made up one of the back corners of the control room. He ran his fingers up and down the list of data drives that filled the server units. Once he found the one he wanted, he carefully pulled it out as he didn't want to damage it. Activating one of the consoles nearby, he placed the drive into a reader and waited for it to boot up. The drive would contain data from the day the attacks took place here in the capital. Also, since these drives carried only the hard data, it wasn't locked out and Zeric should be able to read it.

The screen flashed and up came a list of files, most were log entries and camera footage from the Magistrate's building. Pulling out a small data stick, Zeric inserted it into the console and began to copy files to the stick. He noted the transfer time would take five minutes, in that time he decided to open one of the files just to pass the time. The file opened on the screen and a full list of personnel that logged in and out of the building appeared. He quickly scanned the list, most of the names were people part of the Magistrate's staff or guard. He saw his name and the other high ranking officers from the military. There were only ten people logged in as guests, which was normal. He also noted the how many were members of the press.

Zeric glanced over at the timer, it displayed only a minute left. He looked back over at the list and found something strange. There was only two people that logged in and never logged out. Even with the chaos of the attacks, the guard and military made sure that everyone was properly logged in and out the next day. This raised red flags for the Admiral, these two people might be the Terran attackers or worse...

The files had finished transferring to the stick, Zeric removed it and placed it in his pocket. He replaced the data drive back into its spot in the server and shut everything down. Just as he was about to leave, he heard someone heading this way. Cursing under his breath he quickly entered one of the service closets and closed the door quietly. There was a small hole that he was able to see out of, he watched as two guards entered the room.

The guards were slightly confused as to why the doors to the control room were opened and not locked. They hit a switch that activated the lights and the entire room lit up. This was good, as the console that Zeric was using was still shutting down and the light from the display would have caused an alarm. The guards looked around the room, and noted that it was empty. One of the guards said that he was going back out, the other nodded and just stood at the doorway for a few more seconds.

Just when Zeric thought he was in the clear, the guard began to walk towards the very same closet he was in. Admiral Cain's heart began to race, he would only have to choices to make if that guard opened his door. One he could knock him out and escape, but this would raise more questions and a full on investigation. Second he could just surrender and lose his career and go to prison for the rest of his life. Both were options Zeric didn't want to take.

The guard stopped right at the door and looked around again, he looked down at the door and started to reach for the handle. A voice was heard from outside the room, it was the other guard telling him to leave and return to their patrol. The guard nodded and walked away, seconds later they were gone.

Letting out a big sigh and taking in a deep breath, Zeric opened the door and stepped out.

"That was close..." Zeric said to himself quietly.

Zeric made his way out of the control room and quietly back to the parking area. He got into his vehicle and left.

Vanessa tried to remember the soldiers she fought inside the Blackjack, her eyes closed a moment as the scene played on her head as if it was in slow motion, she focused hard on the though until the images began appearing with utmost detail to her "I remember there was a girl, I'm not sure if she was the CO, she had a sniper, I wasn't able to see the all the patches, so I'm not sure what unit they belong to nor if they are special forces, but they did move like SpecOps team"

Vanessa sighed as she opened her eyes "I'm sorry I can't tell you more Captain, that's all I could remember"

"Roger that, approaching, Khan out" Cassandra turned towards the navigators and pilots "Set course to approach the Terran station, Bay 7, follow the signal our troops left" the navigators began tracing the course as the pilots began moving the ship, slowly the majestic, albeit damaged Blackjack began its approach "Course set, taking her in slowly" the pilot responded upon having the course mapped and the vector approach defined, the ship entered the docking bay with a slow pace, almost scratching the sides as the station was not made for a ship like the Blackjack and the damage hindered the mobility of the Vangar ship

"Steady, keep it slow and easy" Cassandra called, standing near the captain chair "1/4 speed, ready to fire retros and came to full stop" the ship slowed as it entered, barely moving now "Fire the retros" as the order was given, the ship RCS and retros fired, slowing the motion even more, until the ship finally stopped and metallic claps held it into place

"Good job everyone, report to the infirmary if you need, take a rest, comms, stay vigilant of the line I asked with Lutri, also include the Fleet actual if needed"

Nike monitored the repair crews and watched as they repaired the Blackjack. "Looks like she has seen some heavy action. Hope that they didn't take too many casualties." A marine said. Nike nodded in agreement. "Well, I hope that they haven't either but we knew the risk that we have when we signed up. It isn't without risk and we are not invincible, marine. We fight because we protect our loved ones and our homes. We will not let our enemies take what we have worked hard to obtain." Nike said and headed to the comms section.

He went to the comms officer and made sure that all of the equipment was working. "I am having a bit of trouble getting used to the equipment but I should have it working within the next hour or so once I figure it all out." The comms officer said. We have our comm gear over there if you need to send messages or talk to our forces." Nike nodded and headed over to the Vangar comm equipment and sent a message.

Quote:

Major Khan,
Welcome to the station. I hope that the repair crews are being efficient in fixing your ship. I would like to request some medics and security for the POWs that we have captured. They have been quite peaceful despite being enemies with us and have not attacked or otherwise tried to harm the marines that are guarding them, so far. The marines have been through alot and need a break. Also we have some wounded that we also need to take care of on our side as well.

An SpecOps Woman who could handle an sniper rifle and could damage an Fighter well enough to cause Vanessa to get an new fighter for the next Op? His mind began to go back through the few reports that he had be allowed to see about the Vangers. "Not sure if this is right but," He began as he looked over at her. "I think that you saw was an member of the Vanger's MAC group. An force was SpecOps that are like the badass of the badass in the Vanger Military. And if I'm remembing right. I believe it was Cassandra L. Khan, an MAC7 and maybe one of the best of the MAC force. If she is here, then we have to keep them back. I heard things about her that are just wow, hard to believe sometimes." he said as he rubbed his chin as he through about it. "But if it is her, the group fight will be an good one, but tough as they have their MACs deployed. I will have to keep my forces up and moving if we hope to beat them." He nodded to the Commander, "Thank you Commander, I think that we just found out who we are up against now." he said with an light smile on his face, he was honored to learn that he may be facing against some of the MACs. He heard stories of them and knew that they would do an good fight.

As the ship docked, repair crews went to their works, automated repair drones re-purposed for the use of Vangar ships began their task, no terran hand will touch a Vangar ship, letting the enemy put their hands on your weapons was like giving them a knife and turning back for them to stab you freely, simple mistakes may lead to bitter defeats, and MAC soldiers do not make mistakes.

The Blackjack repair crews, assisted by the drones would have the ship back to combat shape in a few hours, perhaps it won't be as glorious as it was before, but it will be as effective nonetheless, something they will need in the following battle with the Terran. Cassandra looked at the star map before her, locating targets and planning, most likely she will be the head of ground assault forces or at least sent into the most heavily guarded objectives, so she began locating targets and thinking possibilities.

Nike called again with a request, Cassandra made a quick check on the MIA, WIA and MIA reports, they were still quite incomplete, probably because of the lack of medics in the frontlines tending the wounded and reporting the death "Khan to Thorsen, request granted" her mind detected a small flaw on the current actions of the Vangar, the PoWs would be a charge for the advance, even if taken back to Vangar space they will be a charge "Thorsen, check with the PoWs and let me know if there is a ship captain and crew, if there is any, send him to the Station bridge, I'll meet him there, Khan out".

Without delay, Cassandra, made her way to the nearest docking tunnel.

He wasn't the only one who heard stories about the Vangar ground forces, her own dad told her about them, albeit she wasn't as informed as Korisho "I heard rumors of the vangarian ground forces, people said they are walking tanks, unstoppable beings who can take a shot and keep marching forward, do we really stand a chance in the ground agaisnt that?" she tried to hide her fears, but her eyes, now fixed on Yzak betrayed her, yes the ground warfare was not for her, and now, after her face to face with the enemy ground forces, she could tell a few of the rumors were true.

"Its not that I don't have faith on your guys, I mean, we are better on the air and space, but ground? that's their thing, as far as I know, they are the most powerful fighting force in ground combat, and if you say they brought the best of the best, I see those odds piling against us"

He too had heard the rumors about how strong and powerfully their enemy were on the ground. He sighed softly as he rubbed the back of his head as he through about those rumors. He had even seen one video or two on the Vanger Ground Forces that were recovered. He looked at her and alittle bit taking aback at the fact that he show fear in her eyes. Fear of losing this war and their way. He shook his head and he looked back at her back into her face. "Yes, they may be stronger than our own ground forces. But I know for an fact that my forces can hold them back and maybe even pushing them back. I trained my troops in Blitzkrieg moves as to quickly hit the enemy with fast moving units and flank them as to trap and wipe them out. As long as our forces are well dug in, moving forward and give hell to our enemies. We will never lose this fight. I tell you that right now. We will drive them from our worlds even if we run out of fuel and bullets. We will take them hand to hand if needed to protect our way of life." He told her smirking as to help and drive the fear that she was had build up inside of her. He knew that this fight was going to be an hard and bloodly one. But he knew he and his men would stop until the fight was won even if it took years to do so.

Nils had been listening to the conversation between Vise Admiral Taggert and Fleet Admiral Tyrell. He had been standing arms crossed eyes closed, out of eye sign of the Fleet admiral against the wall near the door of the small ready room just across from the bridge. He had hear how it hadn't ended exactly as one would have hope. Letting the silence linger after Taggert had expressed his final thought of the fleet admirals after the fleet admiral had disconnected. Nils spoke cleanly yet quietly and lightly in a poetic way. "Theirs not to make reply,theirs not to reason why,theirs but to do and die." After which he moved from his leaning spot on wall with a sign to Taggert's side. " Acting fleet admiral." He spoke with assurance and a salute. " What are your orders?"

Interrogating prisoner

He got the orders and confirmed them. After doing so he headed to the brig to interrogate a prisoner. A marine brought the one he wanted to talk to and sat him down. He brought a glass of water for him. "Leave us, soldier. I'll call if I need you." He said and the Marine left after saluting. "Now, before we start, I want to state that this is an interrogation and not a torture session or anything of that nature. I just want to know the answer to one question, are there any high level officers still on the station?" Nike asked.

The Terran soldier thought for a moment and answered. "No sir. Only liutenants and sergants, then us grunts. The command level officers have escaped. We were ordered to delay any pursuit and prevent capture of the command level officers." The soldier, looking to be in his late teens. "Just out of curiosity, how old are you?" The soldier smiled and had a hint of pride know why Nike was asking. "19, going on twenty sir. Joined up when I was eighteen." He responded. Nike nodded. "Please make sure to tell me if you or any of your fellow prisoners are mistreated. I will see to it that any mistreatment is punished." Nike said the solider nodded as he was escorted out of the room.

He had a newfound respect for the Terran soldiers, as they were much like him. They fought to protect others and even though they were enemies, he hoped that some day they might be allies. He sent a encrypted message to Major Khan.

Quote:

Major Khan

I have interrogated a prisoner about seeing if there were any officers. It seems that the high level officers have escaped the station and left the soldiers to prevent their capture. I have not asked any more than that but it seems that they are telling the truth. I have checked myself before the interrogation for officers of high rank but did not find any myself.

What are your orders?

Solomon took in all of the information that Fleet Captain Jonas Taylor was telling him about the link between Davis and Admiral Garrett and the Black Ops. It would make sense if they were Black Ops as to how the Coup was able to happened. But that part was still an unknown as many of the Military not in the Black Ops could have helped. When the Fleet Captain went on and spoke about that they just found the Station after bring chased in. Solomon began to rub his chin thinking. "Well its seems to me that the reason you were marked to be destroyed, was the fact that you came across the Admiral's ship being destroyed and now if you out of this Nebula. They will shoot you on appearing, the same could be said of my ship now as we have entered the Nebula as well." He through about it thinking about what should they do. He finally looked up at the Fleet Captain, "So what is your plan sir? You can't stay in here forever. They will finally come in and find you." He asked Taylor wondering what was his plan of action.

OOC: Nope, we aint dead, just slow


Vanessa sighed, Yzak was confident in his men abilities, but after seen what the Vangar could do to her fighter, she had her doubts, doubts she tried hard to hide, after all, nobody wants the emblem of the Fighter corps breaking down in the hangar bay "I guess I'll leave that in your capable hands Cap, while I'll keep them busy in the skies" his valor was admirable, hopefully it was just valor and not overconfidence "Just don't be a fool and retreat if you need to, a wise man told me once, retreating may seem like a cowards act, but more often than not, is the act of a man that knows the importance of the big picture and not only the current battle"

"So be careful when it happens ok?", Vanessa leaned a bit on Yzak, kindly giving him a reminder, more a like a push with her shoulder "I think it will be long before this is over and men like you will be needed"

Cassandra entered the station, the soldiers inmediately saluted her, she returned a crisp salute and continued "Carry on soldiers, good job" she said as she passed near the soldiers, patting a few in the back, placing her hand on the shoulders of some other, recognizing their labor, she regret not been there, fighting in the frontlines, but instead fending off a boarding attempt and a fighter assault, those were her orders but now, things ran diferent she was in her element, and it was due time to begin organizing the station.

Her wrist device began beeping signaling the encoded communication, without delay, she examined the comms, pressing a button on the holodisplay on her forearm, sending the audio to her earcom, after hearing it, she inmediately replied, enconding the transmision, after this was finished she continued her tour through the station.

Even if the soldier didn't lie, we better make sure, they may be honorable Nike, but rigth now they are the enemy and we can't trust their words, begin sweeping the station, I want at least 5 teams on search and capture, I expect a report in no more than 24 hours
