Valhalla Rising

[MB52]

Chapter 10 - Premonitions

*Location Unknown*

Decker sat quietly in his fighter, floating through space, he had left the Gunboat Yellowstone behind, its crew dead, he could use that ship later for future plans... but for now there were more pressing matters.

He looked to his side where an apparent Liberty Cruise sat, waiting, but all was not as it seemed. The cruiser itself was infested to its core, it was one of them.

Information had come through the mindshare of conflict within the colonies, while indeed Bretonia and Kusari were in open conflict, tensions now rose between Rheinland and Liberty. All these houses needed was a gentle push and they'd engage in open conflict. The resulting devastation would make it easier for the nomads to complete their goals.

The gentle push had hopefully come today.

The plan was simple, the cruiser would act as a Navy ship and destroy rRheinland ships entering the Bering system under Liberty's name. Decker had arrived as support and aided in the destruction of a Rheinland military vessel before they had made their way out of the system, leaving the two houses to argue and fight.


*Meanwhile in the Alaska system*

The LNX_ThunderBay sat in the Juneau drydocks undergoing major repairs. Jessica sat at her desk, looking over the days report when John entered.

"Jess, did you see the latest navy reports?"

"No not yet, why?"

"Here, take a look, apparently a ship by the name of LNS-Tundra was spotted in the Bering system attacking Rheinland ships"

"What? why would the navy attack Rheinland?"

"According to high command, the Tundra is not under their command?"

"What do we know of the Tundra?"

"Not much, besides she was a cruiser lost awhile back in this system, we thought the nomads had destroyed her"

"Damn, this is not good, with the current tensions.."

"There is more, reports show a fighter with this ship, its pilot was Decker"

"Decker... could the nomads be involved in this? Thank you for letting me know"

John nodded and left the office

Jessica sat for a moment, contemplating her next move... shortly after she stood and headed for the bridge. Upon entering the bridge she walked over to the comm station.

"Get me Admiral Garner on the secure channels"
