Sirens Strike

[Nika]

For Enterprise the path to Concord was uneventful - traversing secure space amidst the penitentiary filled to the brim with cops and Navy own officers in the wake of sufficiently calm intelligence reports promised to be the most boring assignment Lance had recently, despite the ship crew being on high alert and reinforced with additional marines: naturally, command wanted the transfer and the way back to Alaska to be as uneventful as the initial trip.
The transfer on Concord happened in a tense atmoshpere, but it, gladly, did not pay off - the worst case scenario of Insurgency infiltration never became reality, and little could happen with prisoner's own powers in presence of couple dozen armed guards - from both Enterprise and Concord marine detachments.

Enterprise have departed disposition of Concord and her escorts at at 08:32:16 SST, and it's arrival to Fairbanks was scheduled to +14 hours ahead in time, where admiral Linford was expected with open arms - to meet her less than pleasant fate. However, two hours in the future Enterprise found it's voyage down the chosen path interrupted; outraged by the audacity of the move but maintaning calm posture around her subordinates, Lance turned to the scanner array operators.

"What's with the delay?" Lance sounded naturally pissed by the interference. Yet, no one was made privy to the true nature of the dialogue that happened between Lance and Insurgency battleship Discovery, therefore captain have been putting up the play until the bitter end.
"A lone Griffin, ma'am. Registered energy signatured indicated it is responsible for the disrupted intersection. The vessel is utterly unremarkable. Friend or Foe identification returns Freelancer transponder signals. It is as ordinary as it could possibly be... wait! We have a large amout of Insurgency ships approaching from all directions, we're surrounded! What are the orders?
Considering what was the purpose of Enterprise's voyage the crew have been on duty since it's very beginning; upon the commanding officer order and as soon Insurgency strike craft entered their range - point defense batteries opened fire on the approaching enemy, while Lance left the bridge and went ahead to prepare the marine detachment to repel the boarding parties - considering the approaching shuttles - those would inevitably appear as soon as ship's batteries are considered sufficiently suppressed.

Peace, being the distant dream it is, comes inevitably, and goes hand in hand with justice.
Cursed be the war.
