Begining of the end

[Korrd]

AW-Defender - NY System

As the transmission of Dab ended, Korrd prepared to meet with the Defender. That ship was a specially equiped Liberty cruiser. one third the size of the enterprise and 2 times faster.
The cruiser was the most suitable ship to quickly travel through the asteroid fields that were in the systems between Delta and NY. It was also equiped with a prototype of forward gun that never entered production due to instability on the firing chamber. The gun was unstable, and used 90% more power than the normal one, but it did twice the damage in comparison.
The cruiser also had 2 of the most fully equiped science labs of all the AW fleet. Something the Enterprise lacked. Something that most AW ships lacked as they were menat for combat, not science.
It also had more advanced sensors, something that would be very useful for the task at hand. In fact, Korrd customized the ship to do exploration and science more than combat. It was maybe the only science ship of the whole fleet.
I should order Enterprise to dry dock one of this days, for a complete refit he thought. But there is allways something that needs doing. And because of that the ship havent had a rest for quite a few years...

Once aboard the Defender he ordered a course to the nearest jump hole. The officers of the defender believed that the ship was equiped with special technology. But the true was that some of that "special" tech was a fake created by Korrd in order to cover the usage of his powers. He didnt want humans to know his true nature. At least not yet.

The ship entered the Jump hole to Minor and once inside he did a little trick to reach NY faster. He connected the NY jump hole to the Delta JH temporarily, so the ship could transit directly between systems without having to pass through Alaska. Instead of 36 hours, the travel took less than 10 minutes.

Once there he headed to Manhattan. The trade lanes were off line, so the trip took a little longer. he could have used his power to take the ship faster, but he wanted to keep a low profile.

When he reached Manhattan, he looked to the planet and saw the destruction. Millions of people died. There was debris everywhere. Hundreds o ships destroyed were in orbit arround the planet. It was an horrific sight.

He gave some quick orders to the crew and the ship exploded into life. Sensor sweeps in every directions looking for something indicative of kristy's ship. Or a trail of his ship. Some clue that pointed them in the right direction...
They also found some survivors in the debris, in some big sections of the destroyed battleships. And some lifepods too. Survivors were beamed aboard the defender.

Ops officer --Sir, we have detected a faint energy signature on the starboard docking clamp 1. Computer could not identify it. It was a quick energy peak. It lasted 0.003 seconds. it might well be a glitch of the sensors. I will run a diagnostic to be sure.

Korrd --Right. but wait until the area sweep is complete. We need all sensors to scan the area. we cant afford to loose a single second. This could happen anywhere if we dont get to her in time.

Ops --Yes sir.

The ship continued the scan. Ignoring that they werent alone anymore... They were being watched... very closely...
