:dry: Last night I received hail from a small CSV trade Vessel. Her name is "Maria Atalante", she requested I give her escort to Cambridge. She had seen the news of the crisis on Cambridge and was worried about an old friend who works as a professor on that planet.
I met up with her at LA and we proceeded to Bretonia...
we were pulled out of the trade lane by Gians just after Shettfield station. There were three of them so I engaged, my Viper cut through them like butter. But every time I took out one a new wing would appear on the seen, there must have been 23 of `um. :blink:
As I fought and preyed for Maria's safety I saw in my peripheral. She was maneuvering her CSV with skill, and shooting sharp. She dispatched at least four of those Gians. :huh:
We cut them down to the last two and as I engaged one, the other swooped on my six. His bolts were whizzing by my cockpit until Maria took him down from a high angle...
Apollo:" Ok, its all clear. Proceeding to Cambridge". Apollo:"Man that was some good scrap'in for a civilian". Maria:"Thanks, my dad showed me a few things" Apollo:"Have you ever considered becoming a fighter pilot?" Maria:"Oh no, I wouldn't be right for that, its not me". Apollo:"Well if you ever change your mind, contact me".
We arrived at Cambridge and landed at, IAGS , the Institute for Advanced Geological Studies. One small part of the building was smoking black, I could not see it well in the distance but most of the structure looked untouched. We approached an aid officer with a rheinland uniform. I asked him what happened to the place and he started rambling on incoherently till I noticed, he was speaking german. I turned to Maria and said, sorry, they don't speak english. She looked at me vacantly with a little chuckle then began speaking fluent german to the man!
She talked for like 45 minutes then she just turned and started walking back to her ship. She looked like she was going to kill someone! I ran after her and 20 feet from her ship she dropped to her knees and sobbed.
Apollo:"Whats wrong, what happened". Maria:"He's dead"..... Apollo:"Who". Maria:"One blast from the infected battleship". Maria:"It hit the coolant generator down there". (sniffle) Maria:"The pipe fractured and filled four rooms on the east wing" Maria:"Including his office".. (sniffle sob).... Apollo:"I am so sorry, is there any way I can help you".
(She looks up with a pause and anger grows in her eyes)
Maria:"Is that Viper option still on the table"......... .. .
