The Afterparty

[Mariella]

She undocked the Ampoliros with her booster active, so the shields could be put up, quick again.
Thank god, she told the deck-officer the plan - he would have been grilled.
Browning and Nightfall were busy and didnt mention a Titan, coming from behind, just ready for cloacking.
Boys, be careful, this one can make his ship invisible.. Gottcha

The Titan was hit, where the cockpit was.. She knew, there would be no escape pod whirling through space..

Five, she murmered into the comm.
With an open loop, she tried to get between Nightfall and another Titan..
She saw Browning, blowing Number six in peaces.. Nice shot, mate, Nightfall said and laughed..

You really seem to be on cardamine, Browning scolded on Nightfall..
Gimme a chance, he answered laughing..
The Osiris changed course and moved slowly towards the Ampoliros.
Mendoza, move the damn ship, Bernard shouted into the comm.
Browning was going after the seventh Corsair and Mariella had trouble to get rid of Number eight..

Another torp was fired from the Osiris, supposed to hit Nightfalls private yacht..
Unknown ship from behind Mendoza mentioned..
It sets course to the Osiris, Nightfall, Browning answered, blowing his opponent away..
Damn, that one was worth a drink

As fast as the unknown pilot appeared, he vanished again in space.. Taking the Torpedo with it..
Damn.. Did he tractor it ? she asked. Impossible, Browning replied.

Eight, Nighfall shouted and watched Mariella smashing a Corsairs ship - and dropping a mine into the debris..

My revenge for the stolen kiss, you bastard.., she whispered; a bit louder: now its three against four
plus a Battleship..

Stolen Kiss? the comm crackled..
Browning sighed,
Nightfall grinned..

Mariella held her hand in front of her mouth, swearing her improvidence..
