Incoming Transmission from: Commander Michael C. Hammer
Order ID: A-36-03



While on yet another boring patrol in Omicron Minor, aboard our new Liberty Assault Cruiser the "Armed and Hammered" (named for the rag-tag way that we obtained it), we received an interesting communication from my friend McKinnon, captain of the Huntress "Yahtzee". He stated that while on patrol in Omicron Delta, he came under attack by Order forces, and needed immediate assistance. Finding this just a little bit odd, I ordered a course set for Delta.

Upon arriving in Delta, we were met by the most peculiar sight: a pair of Osiris were attacking the Yahtzee. Not waiting for an invitation, I engaged the closest Osiris. Feeling slightly outmatched, and out gunned, I hailed the Yahtzee and firmly recommended that she retreat while I drew the enemy fire. I then proceeded to screen the retreating Huntress with my ship, hoping to buy a little bit of time for McKinnon to escape. For anyone who has gone up against a battleship in a mere cruiser, they will know what I mean when I say it hurts. Feeling the brunt of the enemies attacks, I was very thankful I had installed an armour upgrade, for I would surely have perished without it.

Hearing that McKinnon had engaged his cruise engines, I made a quick turn towards the enemy ships. I aimed the bow of my beauty into the space between the battleships. With the momentary confusion that this caused, I was able to use the last of my nanobots and shieldbatteries to repair the massive damage done to my ship. The pause was far too brief, for before I was midships of the Osiris, they had turned their turrets back on me.

Seeing one last chance, I ordered all fire to concentrate on the port side Osiris' engine, hoping to reduce the ships movement capacity. After sustaining repeated missile hits to its engines, they finally exploded. Quickly, I ordered a hard turn to port, hoping to get around the damaged ship and use it as a shield from the starboard battleship.

That was when one of those fancy red lights started to flash wildly on my captains chair. Glancing over at it, I saw that the enemy had used the same trick as me - they had cut most of my engines! The battle had quickly gone from bad, to far worse. With no options left, I started to give the order to abandon ship.

Just then, something marvelous happened - the port battleship went up in a fiery explosion! As this happened, I heard the hysteric voice of McKinnon on the comm.

"Well, looky here, seems like the rescuer needs a rescue! Radioed some boys over at Primus to give us a hand. Thought a supernova or two might do the trick!"

And so it did. Seeing its partner reduced to small pieces, the remaining ship decided to try and flee. Silly captain - he didn't get far. With the combined firepower of my Assault Cruiser, some Corsair bombers, and a handful of Titans, we were able to destroy the fleeing vessel.
"Look at us! Two wonderful ships, damaged almost beyond recognition!" hollered McKinnon over the comm. "We should get put up for medals for this little show!"

"I think your friends from Primus deserve one. Thanks boys," I replied. "What happened anyways McKinnon? Why were you attacked by our own ships? And not just any ships, but Osiris class ones!"

"That is an eventful story, and I will tell you it over a beer while we get these ships overhauled - my treat!"

A little while later, after Command was able to send over a retrieval vessel and tow my ship back home, I met McKinnon in the bar. Already on his 3rd beer, he told me to take a seat, while he ordered me a Cretan brew.

"I told you I would tell you about today, so get comfortable - this might take a little while..."


End Transmission
