Capture

[stewcool]

The fleet escorting Tenabras suddenly came under heavy fire as St. Mitchel's defense gird opened up its long range weapons. Travis has to think fast for his plan to work.

"Launch all long range missiles at the south side at point marked. Were gonna blow a hole through that part of the shield!"
"Yes sir!"

Every ship, excluding the remote controlled Adler, launched every missile and torpedo in there hold. Missiles streaked through space at high speeds. As St. Mitchell missile defense grid started to open up. Though there were to many. The grid was having trouble aiming at so many targets. One after another the missiles and torpedoes hit there target. Shaking the whole entire station. Eventually the shield to the impact zone gave way.

"Sir our ships cant make it were going to have to pull off. If those two battle groups on long range radar get in our range were done!" Stephanie said, the second in command of Tenabras.
"Alright Adler finish your job all ships...."
A long pause occurred. Travis showed no sign of emotion when he gave his next word.
"retreat."
"Sir?!"Many of the crew asked in amazement.
"Retreat. Let Adler finish its job. We cant do anything else here. My sister can fend for herself I'm sure of it! After all she did turn herself in. I'm sure she has good reason."

Tenabras and the rest of the fleet suddenly broke off formation and went separate directions leaving Adler on its path to St. Mitchell. Still being remotely operated the enemy would think it was still manned.

An LSF fighter on fire then showed up in front of Adler, docking. Must be an emergency landing the crew of Tenabras thought.

Adler was 2.5k out from St. Mitchell and closing. Out of no where Adler shield dropped she was getting hit hard. St. Mitchell main defense grid opened up on Adler making it almost impossible to maneuver.

"We have no choice were gonna have to blow her up earlier then intended." Travis said from the command room of Tenabras.

Adler was just in striking range of the 45th battle group.

"Turn her toward the large battle group. We'll do some damage before she goes!" Travis commanded.

Adler wasn't only the backup Osiris for Tenabras. It was also way over loaded with ammunition and explosives. A moving bomb that can wipe out half a planet if it were docked.

Adler turned a bright red as the remote detonation went off. The Osiris battleship exploded in what can only be described as a miniature super nova. Blowing up anything in the area that wasn't prepared to handle such an explosion. Rocks and debris pushed away as the shock wave rippled through the system. St Mitchell shook so hard people were thrown from there feet.

Travis could only hope the shock wave didn't hurt his sister.

"We'll be back, all ships return to minor we need to regroup."
