Sirens Strike

[DarkTails]

Within the depths of the Bering system, Battleship Concord met with a separate battleship, Enterprise, to transfer a high value prisoner of war.

Command staff of the battleship Concord had called for a nearby battleship to transfer a captured Harmony officer, Admiral Jade Linford. Taken prisoner during the attack on what remained of Marshall Station, the battlegroup was to remain in the system for longer, and did not want to risk a rescue attempt, as such, Jade was to be moved to Alaska, where the rest of her life would likely be spent. While resistance to interrogation onboard the Concord, few last long in the depths of Fairbanks prison station.

With battleship Enterprise coming alongside Concord to make the transfer, the security was tight onboard the ship. No less than 10 armed guards around the captured woman, escorting her over to their new destination. Captain Lance was asked to personally oversee the prisoner exchange, not wanting to spare any measure during this. It was the first time an insurgent was seized from high enemy ranks, and it wasn't about to slip away.

With the prisoner onboard, the Enterprise had departed. Seemingly everything was proceeding well as they exited the Bering system. Things would however take a sudden downturn as they would find their trade lane disrupted. A lone craft seemed to be the culprit, not far out of the ordinary. Perhaps a pirate that chose the wrong target. Soon the real state of affairs would become very clear to the Enterprise's crew. More lazily launching a wing of fighters, numerous bombers, fighters, and a small number of shuttles would appear on ship scanners.

Now finding themselves in the clutches of an Insurgent ambush, the ship went to action stations, fighters being dispatched to intercept, but a distress call going unheeded. The Enterprise and her crew must fight their way out.
