The Bareicade, EV0-117, sat like a Prowler by the Omega 52 jump hole, accompanied by a duet; Militisya Pilots Miles Leroy and Wallace Jenkins. Commissar-Major Kirov wished she had Ivanovici and Shigemori instead; these two were even worse then Forge had been when he started out. Kirov facepalmed as they almost rammed into a stationar asteroid.
"Ma'am, incoming from the International."
"Patch it through." She ground out, holding herself back from ahooting the idiot called Vorchezy.
The screen snapped on to reveal Jacob Forge. "Sasha."
"Jacob."
"Emergency Distress call from Omega 41, divert now and assist."
"On our way." The screen snapped off. She straightened up. "Battle stations everyone!"
Omega 41
The Barricade exited the anomaly and thrusted forward, seeing the slashes of Salamanca fire. She sighed.
"Leroy, Jenkins-"
Both smashed,into mines and exploded. She facepalmed.
"Ok...just open fire dammit."
The Storm let loose a pulse burst, deshielding a trailing Titsn. A razor shot sheared off the top fin, but left the Titan intact. Mostly.
"Smashing stuff, socialists! Hopefully they've come to save us!" Captain Wordsworth III smiled, spashing his now-cold tea over his main pilot,
The rain of Tizonas and Salamancas on the Liner's failing shield caused the beast to shudder violently, swerving in and out of the rocks,
The shieldless Titan wiggled and lined up a shot for his minirazor, hovering his thumb over the trigger. A second before he fired, a Unioner Very Heavy Fighter clipped his damaged wing, bouncing him off it's shield and into a rock with a fiery inferno.
"My kill!" Matilda smirked with joy from the cockpit of her Arbeiter, gliding on engine kill and switching to the second Corsair Titan.
"Take out the one we damaged. Fire each razor independently. Don't do a full burst."
"Roger ma'am."
The pulse duo smashed into the titan, throwing it off balance. The first two pulses missed, but the third sheared off the wing and the fourth enveloped the cockpit, sending the Titan into oblivion. Kirov smirked.
"There we go." She said.
Another pulse barrage took ou pt the third Titan's shields, and the Unioner vessel finished it off. Kirov opened a channel to the fighter. Kirov frowned.
"Hello Unioner. I am Commissar-Major Kirov of the Coalition Peoples' Warship Barricade. Your help was appreciated. Who am i speaking to?"
"You're speaking to Dr Matilda Brown" Matilda continued maneuvering her ship around the Coalition Gunboat as the Luxury Liner Olympia skulked off to safety at cruise speed.
The Unioners and the Coalition were currently in violent disagreements, which is why Matilda didn't feel comfortable sitting still around the Storm. "What's it to you?"
"That was an excellent piece of flying. And impeccable timing tovarich." She looked at the reamins of Leroy and Jenkins. "Much,.much better then those idiots."
She paused, frowning. "And Doctor? A Doctor, working for the Unioners?" She queried.
