Wesley Richter

[Zapp]

The Wrath danced festively amongst the other Wraths, cannons blazing, wreaking death and destruction amongst its opponents. First spinning this way, then waltzing that, it was a master piece that appeared to be choreographed by one of the greatest experts well in advance, as if the very fate of this terribly magnificent dance was written beforehand, and being fulfilled to the slightest detail. Another fighter went up in flames, its venting atmosphere and oxygen feeding the inferno. Once that precious fuel was used up, the fire was vanquished, leaving nothing but charred scrap that was once a beautiful fighting ship.

Wesley was amazing. His hands flew across the controls, anticipating his enemys movements. There were four Wraths left, each flying as they apparently never had before, trying to match Wesley to such an extent that they were obviously going above and beyond even their own greatest expectations. And still it was not enough. Their efforts were all for naught, as one by one they were hunted down by the wolfhound that was Wesley, the wrecks of their ships disintegrating beneath an onslaught of experimental technology found deep in Wild space.

In about five minutes, he was the only ship flying. His hands shaking slightly, he set a course back to Darmstadt Depot. He had recently been allowed to have Guard status, wherein his IFF was changed to show his elite status. He was white, or even red, to the targeting computers of most other LWB ships. It was a great honor to be bestowed upon a Military defector so soon, which only showed the trust he had earned.

He had also been made an Advanced Scout, which meant he had free reign to move throughout Rheinland space, and even the Omegas if the situation warranted, to scan enemy installations and troop movement. The Hessians had also expressed interest in his jaunt into Wild space, though they saw him more as an invaluable tool in a war against Nomad-infested humans rather than just another soldier in the Military. It was a good feeling, being viewed as important.
