Twilight Of Peace

[Dab]

Dab: Alright we got what we came for. All forces pull back to Theta. Any ships that are combat worthy had directly to Sigma-17.

There were still 2 battleships, 15 cruisers, and 10 gunboats still combat worthy.

Ensign: ETA to Sigma-17 15 minutes.

Dab: Connect me to the Enterprise. Korrd we are on-route to your location, try to hold them off for a couple more minutes. Oh and also... missions accomplished we got what we came for.

*******************************

The Sigma-17 battle in contrast to the Unknown battle was going badly for the AW. Though the AW pilots and ships were far more skilled the sheer amount of enemy ships were starting to take their toll on the AW forces. Cruisers and gunboats were being destroyed continuesly. But throughout the battle the Enterprise looked still like the ship it was when first built. Well stolen at least. The Enterprise's enhanced shields had not yet dropped below 50%. The single ship had already accounted for half the enemy fleet's losses and was continuing to take down more cruisers.

******************************

Xizer on comm: Sir we have Black Legion troops in the officer docking bay. I request that you shut the bay doors then cut out the lights. Marines use your night goggles.

The bay door ground shut and the lights flicked out taking the Black Legion troops by surprise. The marines made a dash to the door to the rest of the ship, one of them throwing a bomb on the shuttle they were getting ready. He was almost to the doorway when one of the BL troops shot him. The door shut behind the remaining marines and they could hear the explosion in there.

Xizer: Alright lets get the rest of them. Lord Captain they are infiltrating our terminals. I suggest you turn off the main computer.

Dab: You better have a good reason for this. Have the two cruisers ahead of us get tractor beams and pull us along, then shut sown the main computer.

After that had all been done every light in the ship turned off, along with any other thing connected to the ship for power. The only terminal left for them that they could use was the one on the bridge, and that they would find was the hardest yet to get to. The group stalked out to get rid of the other Black Legion teams on the ship.

*********************************

Dab: Send a transmission to Vice Admiral Nightfall. Order him to have at least 3 battleships and their escorts guarding the station that we have the chanceller at all times. By the time any fleet gets through the outer defenses that would be enough to drive them back.

*********************************

The Ableben has arrived at Hammerfest.

Dab walked out and the Ableben and soon after it undocked and headed to Sigma-17. The 2 platoons of marines easily able to kill or capture the rest of the Black Legion troops aboard. After it was obvious that the Ableben had turned off its main computer and they knew they would not get what they needed the troops in the docking bay had escaped on some of the remaining fighters, leaving the 3 teams at the terminals behind.

Dab: Ah Hello Admiral.

Dab said as he walked into the medical rooms. He took a quick look and saw the Chanceller still unconsciense due to the wounds inflicted upon her.

His eyes glazed over for a second.

Dab: I see your still mad at me Admiral, but make no mistake we had not wanted to take you. Your council would have made your chanceller into a dehumanized beast had she made it to Alaska, without looking for any other alternative means of saving her life.

He took a seat in the one chair in the room, one that gave him an undisturbed view of the chanceller.

His eyes glazed over again and he missed Kreig's reply, completely forgetting the admiral's presence.
