The path of Prospector

[Doom]

ooc: story above is continued HERE


Search for Tex was unsuccessful. There was no sign of him trough out the Liberty. York sent his most trusted men to search whole Sirius if necessary.
Prospector, only xeno gunboat, was waiting ready on Ouray base for York's return. That ship became a legend among Xenos, and most of them consider it a Xeno flag ship. York never shared that feeling. For him it was his beloved ship, trusted friend in many battles...but never a Xeno flag ship. Although he knew that Xenos feel safer near it. They never did have big or strong fleet, but lately they are getting stronger.

That ship, now was only undamaged ship on Ouray base. It was sitting in dock bay 3 as Liberty attack never happened. York got suspicious when he hailed Ouray base from distance and they didn't respond. All fighters in his wing accelerated to full speed. York was very worried. When they got near, they saw that their worst fear got real. York was furious and he wanted to attack Liberty at once. His trusted friend Milia Fallyna calmed him down. Together they designed a plan for their revenge.

York spent most of that day in command room of the base reading casualty and damage reports. One report surprised him. Joshua Taylor cant be found in his cell or anywhere on the station. Very suspicious York thought.
Maybe that whole attack was designed to save Taylor. Maybe even Tex is missing or kidnapped so pilots go to search for him leaving base defenseless. Even more reason for revenge in near future.

About midnight, Milia entered command room.

- Richard, all is prepared. We launch tomorrow, 13:00 hours. Go get some sleep. We need you in your best edition tomorrow.

- Don't you worrie. I will be ready. But, as always you are right, i will go to bed.

Milia smiled and left the room.

- Good girl, -York thought - very loyal.

Next day York and Milia assembled some of the finest pilots from Ouray base. They formed small hunting pack ready to kill anything that stands in their way.

- Ok men, you all know what to do...stay close to me and follow my lead...i call the targets.

All windows in Ourays bar were filled with faces of people who came to see their brave pilots before they enter cruel fight. As always odds were against them.

Hunting pack entered California system undetected. They asked few traders to support Xeno right to fight against corrupted Liberty government, but the refused. Pack didn't took that very well. Traders were destroyed.

Near Magellan jump hole Xenos intercepted Bounty hunter battleship Digger. York, in his dark joke mood asked 2 mill from battleship captain fro safe passage of his ship. Captain didn't like it so he attacked Xenos. They responded with full fire capability and soon battleship was only on 50% of his hull runing towards California Minor where he crash docked.

York ordered relocation of hunting pack near Mojave planet. There they intercepted HUZAREX luxury liner. Scans of that ship revealed that is was in fact pirate ship. Xenos don't like pirates on their turf so after interesting fight liner was destroyed. Before he was destroyed he dispatched system wide call for help. One mercenary gunboat responded to that call. Liberty gunboat, with similar name; Huzares was destroyed after short battle. Only minutes have passed after Liberty gunboat was gone when Bounty hunter destroyer accompanied by Liberty police dreadnought dropped out of trade lane. They immediately began simultaneous attack on Xeno forces. Destroyer went down first. After hard fight his hull was on about 5% when he tried to run. With some tricky maneuvers trough trade lanes York managed to chase him down and destroyed imploded in front of Yorks eyes. Liberty dred proved to be much harder target. But Xenos were swarming him patiently until finally his hull collapsed and he fell apart.

York was very pleased about todays revenge upon Liberty lawfulls. Hunting pack of 2 very heavy fighters, one light fighter and gunboat took two battleships, cruiser, luxury liner and gunboat, with only one casualty; destroyed light fighter. Xenos today won another great battle in their never ending war against liberty corruption.
