Sirens Strike

[DarkTails]

While the battle raged in the corridors, a second operation was under way on the other side of the ship. With the initial boarding action distracting the primary force of the Navy marines, a large detachment would moor on the opposite hangar bays. Pouring out mostly unopposed and eliminating any guards who happened to be around before they could alert the primary marine detail. Accompanying this boarding party was the operation commander, Admiral Amber Eclipse.

"This is Eclipse to all teams. We've boarded the other side of the vessel and encountered light resistance. Keep pressure on the Naval marine detachment until reinforcements outflank them. I'm heading to the bridge to take control of the vessel and free Admiral Linford."

Accompanied by her elite bodyguard, former Navy special forces, Eclipse was heading for the bridge while the main detachment of her company went to outflank and eliminate the Naval marine force. The walking to the bridge was mostly quiet, the few resistant soldiers and officers found quickly pacified by the elite guard. The battle near the seized hangar however, was about to hit a vast derailment. The loud stomps of combat boots echoed the halls behind the Navy defenses, presumably reinforcements scrounged from the Enterprises' crew, the real state of affairs only becoming clear as weapons fire was hurled onto the defensive line from their backs. Surrounded and cut off, the marines desperately tried to fight their way out, but were quickly overcome with nowhere to hide.

On the bridge, the final transmission from the marines would be heard, desperately calling out for assistance. "We're surrounded near the hangar, our line has collapsed! We need immediate assistance, they're killing us and we don't stand a chan-" Cut off, the transmission ended. For all intents, the marines were defeated, and the Enterprise falling under Insurgent control.

"Interesting how they know so little of their fate, isn't it Captain Lance? Though I suppose they were horrendously uninformed of what was to happen here today. Preparations mean so little when the action comes. A pleasure to finally meet you in person." Amber stood at the entrance to the bridge, her guards vigilant as ever for double-crossers. Amber however was as calm as ever, knowing there was little danger left.

"You have held up your end well, Captain. And I will hold up mine. First however, we must leave this place. The sooner we are gone, the better off we are. INS Chicago has coordinates for our destination. Comm officer, you should be receiving them now."
