Mayday in Tau-31

[Dab]

Major shieks started to laugh. His commandos looked curiosly at him.

He turned on his comm gear.

Major Shieks: Lord Captain we have a small problem in the docking bay. A couple Phantom marines and an old "friend" of yours. You might wanna unload a couple torpedos in there.

In all their cleverness they failed to relise that the docking bay doors were jammed open. Shieks soon heard the distinct whine of the Ravenclaw engines getting louder.

Suddenly the blast door visibly shook with the force of an explosion. They carefully opened the door to the bay and could see the Phantom's shuttle a smoking crater surrounded by the two support marines, no longer armed with their giant chainguns. Shieks saw Darkstar struggling to get up. He had been slammed into the rear wall only meters from the blast door.

Major Shieks: Get Darkstar before he is pulled out into space. We will take him to the Osiris when we finally get out of here.

Two of the commandos rushed in and ran towards Darkstar, all the while being pulled by the escaping air in the direction of the gaping hole where the docking bay door would have been.

He shut the door after they had dragged Darkstar into the room and the air stopped pulling on them.

As Darkstar regained consciousness Shieks pulled his head up and punched him in the face.

Major Shieks: Thats for my men you killed you slime.

Darkstar started laughing and shieks punched him again. This time he spit out blood.

Major Shieks: You two, take him to the escape pod. Make sure our ships will get you first before you get out. Everyone else original plan lets get to the Bridge.

The two groups took off in different directions through the now empty ship.

To be continued

(with Darkstar's escape...)
