Declaration Of War

[Leo]

I sat and watched the news broadcast from Malta. I sighed and rubbed my hand through my hair. I knew it was coming. Everyone knew it was coming. Since 800 A.S., the communication between the two houses had been breaking down. Whatever happened then, I couldn't say, no one could...well maybe the folks in the Rheinland and Liberty governments, but not me...I wasn't in the loop.

My routes were going to get more hellatious. Passing through two major house systems, both at war with one another, and both on the edge of their reign, facing one another in opposition.

I sighed again. My job just got a lot harder...I boarded my Firefly a few hours later and took off from Malta, heading for Texas. The trip through Rheinland didn't take too long, and a lot of their forces were moblizing quickly. As I passed into Hudson, a Rheinland gunboat followed. It tried to stay to the shadows, and just off my scanner range, but I could still barely pick it up. I continued on, not showing that I saw him.

I passed into Texas, and he followed me in to that system as well...was it already an invasion. Before I could contemplate it completely, a Liberty ship came out of no where and opened fire on the Rheinland gunboat. To my surprise it had prisioners aboard. Soon after the fight was over, the Liberty ship flew back to Houston, venting plasma to space.

So the war really had started...

...wonderful.
