Nate smiled as the Mastadon Transport engines blazed to life after dropping out of the trade lane "Matt open a channel." Matt bent over the dimly lit consol "Done." Nate straitened and in an imposing voice stated "Cut your engines or you will be shot." The transport did not change direction or slow down. Nate swore "Damnit! Jack match their speed, Dita disrupt their engine's, and Matt send them a second warning!" 12 hours of waiting and multiple bribes to hackers had paid off, this was the biggest catch they had in weeks and the dumb captian of that transport was gonna run? That transport was filled with military grade personal weapons, he was just gonna fill his hold and charge this guy 2 million credits (which would be paid by the company not the captian or crew of the transport) but this idiot was making a run for it!?! Matt interrupted his thoughts "Captian, their still not stopping" and then Dita piped in "Should I open fire with the pulses?" Nate had an idea "Yes, but when their shields are down I want you to only fire one Razor at a time and Matt send them a message that if they stop we will cease fire." Nate waited and watched screen's showing him what was happening and sincerely hoped that the transport figured that he wasn't gonna make it and gave up.
Then things really started going downhill when Matt said "Oh my god I'm gonna kill that hacker, CAPTAIN! a dreadnought and a cruiser just dropped out of the lane and if this transport keeps running will be here in 1 minute." Nate sighed then gave orders "Dita use all the guns and blow that transport out from under their seats then tracter as much of the cargo as you can, Jack when Dita is done I want you to get us in the Whitney field and I dont care if it takes every counter measure we have, dont let those ships get within 1k." Nate watched for a moment as the true aimed battle razers smashed the hull of the transport, but then he had one more idea."Matt I want you to jettison the police pods we tractored earlier in two different directions away from the ice field, and make sure those navy boys know they are there." Nate had gotten his crew out of scrapes before and when the stakes were high they took his orders without question. One of his screens flare brightly as the transport's reactor caught a razer and escape pods shot away as it exploded. A few more second went by then Dita indicated she was done and Jack started the cruise engines. But then Jack saw a problem with his course "Ah hell, two Navy fighters dropped out of the lane in front of us I wont be able to avoid them!" Nate acted fast "Dang, give me manual control if we can dodge em till we make it to the ice field we will be able to lose em, somone tell me what those capital ships are doing behind us." Matt quickly responded "The Dreadnought has turned to go after one set of pods but the cruiser is closing fast, it looks like one of the fighters is headed for the other group of pods." A tactical visor moved over Nate's view as he took manual control of manuvering and hit the thrusters. "Dita use the pulses and make that fighter nervous if you can get a good shot, Jack how long to the whitney field on thrusters?.
The bridge of the Essex got quieter as the crew concentrated on getting away. Nate was good at dodgeing attacks and as a result the cruiser could not land any substantial hits but even with Dita knocking out the fighters shield and causeing to to manuver away temporarly it was still makeing enough hits to drop the shield to dangerous levels. But eventualy they made it into the ice field, the cruiser lagged behind, but that fighter would not give up. Nate knew that he could not go back to Alcatraz with it on his tail and so he had to get rid of it... but if it took to long the cruiser would catch up and cause even more problems. "Dita, how good of a pilot does thaty fighter have, as in if I turned us to fight how long would it take for you to destroy it?" Dita thought for a moment before responding "Judgeing by how many times I have dropped his shields and by the fact that he acualy used some batteries to maintian this chase I could probably blast him in less than thirty seconds if he maintains the joust."
Nate killed the engine and turned around then shot them back up to full straight at the fighter. True to her word Dita took out the poor sucker's shield the first pass and when Nate turned the ship around once more she had aready targeted the razors and the fighter exploded as three bursts of antimatter tore through it's hull. Dita stood up and acualy bowed while a huge grin crossed her face. Nate laughed and said sarcasticly "I thought you said 30 seconds? That only took ten at most, if you cant make a proper prediction I may have to throw you off the ship." Dita responded in mock humility "I'm sorry sir but I thought that he might try to not get shot, please forgive my failure." The bridge roared with laughter but finaly Nate remebered the cruiser and still chuckling said "Jack, plot a course to Alcatraz before that criuser shows up, it's high time we had a drink."
