Fall

Amanda looked to the horizon out of her command ship, the Siren's Calling. The Royal forces were about to come through the jump hole any second, and she had a surprise for them.

Kenji was on-board his sabre, escorting the gunboat while it prepared to attack out of its ambush. "Amanda, are you sure about this? I mean, we don't know what we are facing except for a supply convoy. We don't know the number of escorts, what ships and not even exact arrival time!"

"Oh don't worry darling, it can't be too bad, can it? Just a supply convoy..." Her voice broke down as a energy burst hit the ship's shields and brought them down to 90% "Kenji, we are under attack!"

As she said it, overwhelming numbers of Royal fighters and bombers emerged out of the Gaian cloud, taking by surprise the Fifth Cell ships. Nearly all of the members were there on the various ships, Amanda managed to catch for short moment Kenji's sabre going up in flames when the ship started to retreat. The Flying Dutchman has already managed to pull off, flying into the myst. The Cell's fighters embraced kamikaze tactics and rammed to death enemy bombers to cover up Siren's Calling retreat.

The Siren's Calling managed to pull off, but on a heavy price. The communication array freighter was lost, so were nearly all of the snub craft it had in possession. Of the remaining high guardians only Amanda was to be found, and the crew of the Siren's Calling that survived the onslaught consisted of merely 15 men.

Amanda set on the commander chair and looked with an empty face to the void. Totally dismissing the fact that she hasn't heard from any of her crew for at least an hour. She heard the sound of loading a gun, but before she managed to react.
