The Buckingham -- Assault Boarding Ship

[Wolfs Ghost]

Three Months later....

There was a rather loud explosion, screaming, and shouting across the deck.

Captain Jones stood proudly on the deck of the Kent, As he stood he could feel the vibration of the incoming shots hitting the hull of the Dunkirk. "Take us about for one more attack run." He said proudly, and calmly.

"Incoming Fighters, Twelve O'clock high. Alpha Wing, engage.." came a familiar voice over the communications, It was Lieutenant Austin Goodmen piloting his ever faithful Paladin.

"Roger, Alpha lead..Engaging targets."
"Erm, Sir, we have a Battleship incoming, Three O'clock mid..."

"Keep up the pressure on the fighters. Captain Jones, could you get that bloody thing gone?"

"I'll see what I can do, Lieutenant." Jones mumbled ever-so-calmly into the communications mic. He took off the mic and set it out of the way. "Starboard Side. Fire all weapons, Turn us about so port side can fire the Heavy Mortar at the enemy Battleship."

Shouts and Acknowledgements came back and forth after his command. He stood calmly as the view port faced the enemy battleships port side. "Fire."

A rather huge bolt of Anti-matter shot out from the heavy mortar turret, and glided silently across space. Before slamming into the enemy battleships weak shielding. Soon, all weapons targeted the enemy battleship.

"Ejecting!"

"Gah, Lieutenant! Kent, we need some to tractor the Lieutenant in..."

"Copy that..." Jones said calmly before snapping his fingers to his Nav Officer, who pressed a few buttons and recovered a few pods.

------------ (All Her Majesty's Men) ------------

The Kent pulled up heavily damaged with multiple fires on several decks to the Derby.

Captain Young was at the helm of the Derby, he watched the Kent limber in. "Captain Jones, What the hell happened?" He said as a viewing screen opened. In the background Young could see a few sparking wires, semi-thick smoke, people shouting and injuried. Only person who seemed to be calm was Jones.

"We chased a Kusari destroyer out to Stokes, made it flee and it docked, we then proceeded to engage the station heavily damaging it's air locks so the Destroyer couldn't assist. That's when multiple small battle groups came in. Obviously we where no match and had to pull back, however we did take down three Battleships, a couple of Gunboats, a few Destroyers, and multiple fighters."

"How many lost on our side?"

"Unknown as of right now we'll be tallying that up once we have everything contained. Austin Goodmen's ship was shot down. However we recovered his pod. Last report is of him in the infirmary. According to a few lads, he was on his way up to the bridge when a secondary explosion ripped through the corridor he was in. He managed to get to the infirmary."

"Right, that's good. Have him sent over to the Derby and we'll take care of him here."

"Alright, will you be ordering repair teams? I hate to take this lovely vessel to Southampton for a week of repairs. Would rather have everything done and fixed on the field."

"I'll see what I can do, Jones."

"Aye, thank you. Always good to know I have someone to trust on board this vessel."

Young laughed lightly. "It's not your vessel Jones, We share the command of it."

"Indeed so...We're switching to emergency power, also. Infirmary informs me that they moved Mr. Goodmen out to the waiting shuttle. To be shuttled over to the Derby."

"Copy...We'll set up advance guards for now to make sure the Kent isn't attacked during its repairs."

"Right, Captain Jones out."
