Twilight Of Peace

[princedwi]

Enroute to New Berlin, Bering System.

Computer: Incomming transmission from High Priority. Displaying now.

"Broadwave Transmission:
From: RNC SCHADEL, GAMMA UNKNOWN
Body:
UNDER ATTACK BY HOSTILE AW FORCES.
NOT WITHIN AW TERRITORIAL LIMMITS.
REQUEST IMMEDIATE BACKUP.
CHANCELOR PRYDE IN DANGER.
MAYDAY, MAYDAY.
End Transmission:"

Apparently his day got worse as it progressed. Immediately, he thought in his head...

Kurasai: "What on Earth...first irregular Nomad scouts, now the AW's hostile? Jeez..just my luck."

Wondering if any of his UCSVs (Unmanned Combat Space Vehicles) were on duty at the time, he motioned to his Hologram and found their relative locations. Recon and Interceptor were located within Omega 11 on Anti-Red Hessian assignment. This is far more urgent than just an extermination run...

"Computer, head on course to Gamma Unknown. Contact Bampei UCSVs Recon and Interceptor and send coordinates to destination."

Computer: Commands confirmed. Waypoints set to Gamma Unknown. Squadmates alerted and pending formation.


A few hours later...Omega 11 system."

The independently formulated Bampei Squadron, an automated figher wing created for trade convoy escorts under the [RM] tag, just finished a Red Hessian run and are conducting automated repairs on Solarius Station. Their AI illuminates as their leader gives them the transmissions. Interpreting the message, the UCSVs immediately re-equip themselves for the appropriate mission.

"UCSV SYSTEM ALTERATION...

- Mission edit...code 21, class 3: Escort Kurasai
- Weapon Payload edit...: Nomad piercing weaponry, multipurpose cluster missles
- Waypoint edit...: Gamma Unknown...
- AI edit: Kurasai direct-link transmission imput

...END UCSV SYSTEM ALTERATION"

Immediately, the UCSVs launch and fly enroute to Stuttgart, where Kurasai awaits them and they enter formation.

Kurasai: I hope you two are ready to enter full-link tactic imput modes....keep your guard and intercept any AW or Nomads....we're going to rendevous with the Schadel and assist them.

Recon and Interceptor (in AI monotone): We copy, leader...
