Peacefull day. I was strolling through the orange meadow, thinking of my parents in Liberty, how they struggle day by day to get their Cardamine.
I had my Outcast Emergency Radio with me. I heard a call from Raul Sanchez, on board of the MNS-Dies.Irae. I sprinted my way to Malta landing dock, jumped into my Sabre, entered Malta orbit and formed on Dies.Irae. There was also Aurora Errera, a member of the 101st and an independent Outcast pilot, Handelas.
We were headed about 20K away from Malta. We encountered two SCRA ID'd vessels. An Osiris and an IMG gunboat.
We engaged at once. Me, Aurora and Handelas focused our fire on the IMG gunboat, as MNS-Dies.Irae was already smashing Osiris's shield to crumbs. IMG gunboat started to show signs of defeat. He had no shield batteries and no nanobots left in his hold. He tried to manuever his way out. My and Handelas Kraken 2's did an amazing job. We smashed the gunboats hull to bits, and then we waited for Aurora to hit the final blow. The IMG gunboat was destroyed. We rescued the pilot's escape pod, but he knew there was no way out of Alpha for him. He had commited suicide. A dreadfull scene, if i may add.
I turned my Sabre to the Osiris. MNS-Dies.Irae was doing an outstanding job. Our wing of fighters couldn't do much about the shield and the hull of the Osiris, so we rather focused our fire to turrets. Osiris was fighting but he knew he was going to end up the same as the gunboat. Most of his crew members were already dead on board or sucked into the vacuum of space.
The hull of the Osiris was breached. MNS-Dies.Irae had stopped firing. I was stunned by the explosion. There were also no survivors. Fools.
There were no casualties on our side.
We slowly returned to Malta orbit and we thanked Handelas for cooperation. There was no other threat in Alpha at that moment so i docked too alongside Aurora and MNS-Dies.Irae. I patroled the landing dock for some while then i returned to the orange meadow to continue my stroll.
A great day for Alpha.
