The path of Prospector

[Doom]

Chapter VII

Rage

It was early morning on virtual base time when Yorks rescue pod finally arrived to Ouray.

- Get me Thompson ASAP - York yelled as soon as he dropped out of rescue pod.

One of the guards grabbed his com link and called for the base security officer. York was pacing impatiently until Thompson arrived.

- Thompson, take 20 of your best men in Starblazers, go to New York and capture on repair ship. Then with that ship proceed to Shikokou to this coordinations - said York and gave to Thompson small data pad. - There you will find my damaged fighter. It has homing beacon, but it uses our frequencies. So keep your eyes on scanners. Bring my baby home.



York went to his quarters to freshen up. On the way there he used his com link.

- Prepare Prospector for flight. I will be taking her out soon.

York was sitting behind Prospectors command center piloting gunboat himself.
Blinded by rage, he flew thru Sirius killing everything on his way. During his rampage he got distress call from pirate vessel Rouge 63. Rouge was in Texas system and York hurried there. Long range scanners showed that Texas is very well guarded and that this will be heavy mission.
The moment, Prospector arrived it Texas South Alliance ships were spotted. One SA frigate and heavy fighter were patrolling the area. Prospector attacked weaker target. Soon two Junker ships joined the battle. SA heavy fighter couldn't take much of Prospectors powerful guns and it was destroyed easily.
Surprisingly, one of the Junkers was flying liberty gunboat and SA didn't show any intension of attacking Junker ships. Junkers are biggest contraband smugglers in Liberty space. York was amazed. However, Junkers are Xeno worst enemies so Prospector turned his guns on Junker ships. Both Junker ships sustained some damage before York ordered retreat. Prospectors shields couldn't take much more of frigates guns.
Both Junkers and and frigate followed Yorks ship after he went into cruise speed. York decided to change course and enter Virginia system.

- Lets go to Virginia - ordered York. - Plot me new course. Lets see what Liberty Navy Elite has to say bout those Junkers.

Like York predicted, Navy Elite didn't thought much of Junkers and they were attacked immediately. Although, Prospector was attacked by them to, York didn't care... his ship is fast...and the didn't do any damage. However, Junkers did sustain some damage. Soon York jumped to Texas again and headed to Minnesota jump hole. Both Junkers followed. Frigate fell behind. When York thought they moved far enough from frigate he dropped from cruise and engaged Junkers once again. Fight didn't last long and Prospector jumped to Minnesota where they lost his trail.

Once free of escort, and with damaged ship York searched for safe dock. Prospector flew thru several systems and finally found one "safe" dock. Kyoto base, Chugoku system, is terrorist base. Although one terrorist doesn't like another, they don't attack each other. There York bought supply's for rest of the trip.

- Lets go to Bretonia.

Prospector just entered Omega 5 system and near Cadiz base he found three Junkers fighting. Two Junkers in heavy fighter and bomber attacked third in Liberty gunboat.

- What is with this Junkers and Liberty gunboats?- York asked himself...-When Liberty started to sell navy ships to pirates?...Hahahaha...who knows...if i ask politely maybe they will sell me one...

York had no intentions of attacking any of three Junkers.

- They might as well kill among them self.

But two Junkers left third in gunboat and attacked Prospector. York did thought of that so he killed engines on Prospector and turned his ship to fly backwards. He fired upon Junkers. They didn't expect things that followed. Prospector still flying backwards flew into mine field. Junkers followed him. Rest was easy...
Strong gunboat shields resisted mine explosions but fighter shields didn't. When mines took out their shields rest was easy...One Junkers was destroyed by third in gunboat who sneaked behind him while he was focused on Prospector. Second Junkers fled the fight. One SF capital ship was near but it didn't attack Prospector.

When fight was over, Prospector proceeded to Cambridge system. There he stumbled upon one BAF patrol. Destroyer and two gunboats escorted by heavy fighters put on a great fight, but fast and small rouge gunboat outmaneuvered big Bretonia ships easily.
After killing all three capital ships York turned ship towards home.



- I need to start thinking how i will save Patrick from that scum Svaldi.
