Olympus

[Magoo!]

Chapter One

Contact

Outside Olympus, high above our frigid atmosphere, the destroyer Charon and her fleet of over one hundred ships stood guard. The Keepers of New Greece had supplied the Brotherhood soon after our arrival to Olympus and our flagship now held command entirely of the fleet. The ruby colored ship floated in anticipation as dozens of energy readings spiked onto their radar from behind the sun. We had lost contact with three small stations positioned around the Omicron-99 jump hole, each containing around fifty men. A distress signal was recieved from one of the stations before their signal was lost.

Then contact was lost. Neither of the other two stations sent word and we feared that they had been annihilated before they were able to send a distress call, or even further information.

A low energy sattelite was still giving us feed on how many energy spikes occurred and was consistant in its readings of Nomad energy signals. Supposedly the aliens hadn't detected it, or perhaps they wanted us to know they were coming... As a sort of scare tactic or something. Either way, they were coming.

Silenus had made the decision to send twelve ships to investigate this occurance. And so the Charon fueled its fighters and sent the Odysseus and the Heracles, two newly developed Outcast gunships to scout the road ahead and later report.

And we waited.
