hello all, i am Sun Tzu, called Piranha too for some of my closest friends. I joined Gas Miners Guild factions several days ago and i will tell why i took that decision:
MrTzu was pride of their surname. Thousands of years ago, hundreds of the Christ born, their ancestor bring Chinesse Emperors to unify that country, thanks to his war acknowledge. That country was left behind with the earth, and the coallition.
Family Tzu was a poor family, with Chinesse origins, between TAU systems. They moved between Freeport space stations, looking for any kind of accomodation and job. Mr Tzu had two sons: the older, Sun was a hiperactive, disobedient, mean boy. He couldnt study for work helping his parents. His little brother, Ben, was diferent: tender, holy and clever.
When they grown, Ben, finished an archeological carrer made in Cambridge with the best and most important scientist of Bretonia. He was a brilliant young man, but his chinesse surname closed the door to the promotion. He had to work with his dad and his brother in the asteroids mining stations owned by IMG. If had luck, Sun, could pilot a light freigter with supplies. A lot of poor, desesperate people worked in the mining stations, anywhere in the Sirius systems.
one day, the mining ship went to Omicron Gamma. Following indications of an asteroid field with valuable strange minerals there. During the work, Ben found something interesting with hide inmediately inside his clothes ... something diferent, of all what he learnt in cambridge, something valuable, something he had to look better with more time... a Nomad "gadget".
In a bad iluminate, well closed room, the Tzu family was sat around the gadget. they had to bring it to Cambridge. That discover would bring Tzu family out of the poorness.
Suddenly, the light flashed and somehting made hte large ship shake. Red flashing lights and alarm chime sound: corsairs!! corsair!! corsairs are attacking the ship!! every go to escape pods!
In the space, the IMG escort fighters engage the powerfull corsair ships, the miner ship tried to avoid the combat with full cargo bays... none comes into Corsair space and go out in one piece. One, unarmed, small, old freighter could undock from the miner ship with dozens of civilans in its cargo bay, and engage cruise engines without notice. Nothing was knew what happened to the miner ship and its crew or the other civilians.
Ben was lucky again and he and his family were in that freighter. The damaged freighter reached freeport 9, in Omicron Theta. They took the decision of only Ben and his father would go to Cambridge with the Nomad gadget in the next Zoner transport. Sun would stay in the spaceport with his wounded mother.
MrTzu and his son Ben, got in the next freighter to Bretonian Systems. A dromedary bringing containers with Alien organism. The ship was being escorted by 3 Eagles SHF. But the convoy was lost in Omicron 7. But that wasnt all, the SUn motherm when knew his younger son and his husband wont be back, came in a deep coma.
Two days later, crying, near to be drunk in the Freeport 9 cocktailpub, without money, looking a glass with any alcoholic drink he didnt want to think, he was trying dont to think.
- woman troubles? .- heard Sun in his back. When he looked at there could see a tall well build guy wearing a suit with occidental features.
- no, sir... .- he could sent that guy to his own bussines, but he didnt.
- my name is John, John Adams.- Sun turn his face to the glass.- you look desesperate- said the man. Sun only look at the glass.
- i need desesperated people. i can see the rage in your eyes.- said a again the man, and awaited.
- talk...- said Sun, drinking half glass, without looking that suited guy.
- food, accomodation, a good salary, and you will find the respect you are looking for, and... what is more important, medical care for your mother- finished the man .- what you say? .-
what that guy know about him?? Obviously the man called John Adams knew the last events on Sun?s life. He had nothing better to do, it was the next step of his life. Alone, desperate, with his eyes boiling in rage, thirsty of revenge, and with a famous ancestor blood... accepted the invitation of that guy.- My name is Sun Tzu.-
days went. Mrs Tzu was accomodated in Aomori Station, just a border station of the Honshu system. Her wounds heal succesfully, but lose her husband and her younger son made her still lay in the bed. She had a great shock. Needed lots of attentions.
Sun first assignation was escort some GMG transports far, far away. to a zoner system called Omicron 49. They trade some radiactive fuels.. or. some dangerous products which had a high price in black-market. Pirates usually ambush any convoy if they think they carry valuable stuff, and that radiactive material was so.
For accomplish this task he was given a full armed Taiidan fighter. Not very powerull, but could outmaneuver any heavy fighter build by human.
more days went, the most of the assigantions were patrol around Aomori, Naha and Ogashawa bases. Nothing relevant happened those days, some smuglers which needed to be "escorted" to the closest jumphole to dont come back... but, one day, the scanner showed a strange reading. A small ship, fast moving into gas miners cloud. The other ship pilot, as soon realized it was being chased, turned his ship around and shot all his formidable weaponry to SunTzu.
It was an Eagle, piloted by a mercenary. looks like GMG security forces didnt like him. Suntzu opened fire too... - here Aomori patrol zero one!! engaging enemy fighter, i need some reinforcements!!!- lighting bolts hit the small taiidan fighter, but the shield was strong enought to hold before dissapear.
Suntzu made his ship move quckly avoiding the shooting, when he turn it around to reengage, the fighters which Amori base sent to help were engaging the Eagle. A single burst of the eagle was enought to badly damage the defenders.
SunTzu come closest and scanned the mercenary ship, looking down at the scanner window... -WHAT??!! nomad weapons!!.- when suddenly some hits blew up the shileds again .- CRAP!.- the eagle finished all the otehr ships and angaged again th small taiidan fighter.
was only SUntzu and the mercenary. The eagle shooted long burst to the dodging taiidan, the skyblasters werent enought to crawl the enemy`s ship shield. but had to try. Plenty concentrated in doging eagle?s shooting bursts wasnt hitted as hard as before. but had to flee, or be killed.
engaged cruise engine and the eagle was behind until the taiidan accelerated. -i need somethign bigger, i need somethign much powerfull... how the hell could a human fighter carry nomad weapons?? - asked himself in whispers.
more days went since the fight agaisnt the Eagle VHF happened. He was shocked up by looking those nomad weapons in a human fighter. Perhaps there was any relationship between that and the death of his brother and father... well.. perhaps they werent... killed... perhaps they were still alive.. or they were wounded or... or what?
suntzu went at John Adams office. he already reported the fight, but not what he found. -Sir, i have to tell you something.- said SunTzu standing infront of the table
- Sun, change your face, you will scare all the child on the station. Whats the problem?.- said sat looking at Sun but playing with a pen with both hands.
- i found... something, Sir.- made a pause thinking well what words say.- i found Nomad weapons in the eagle i foguth several days ago.-
why didnt you told me that before?? well, nothign happens, is not a secret all houses are trying to copy nomad technology. Liberty navy are researching some weaponry based on nomads... but of course, they dont recognize what they are doing.-
.- but, sir, eagle is a civilian ship....
.-Mr Sun..- interrupted, John.- There are very good technicians in sirius, not only in the big houses. Corsairs ships, despite of being slow maneuverable, have a weapon array what most fo the houses would like have... and they are drunk corsairs!!!
.- requesting permisson to mount some of those weapons in my ship, sir!! -said Sun steady with eyes open with some euphoria
.- WAIT WAIT WAIT....- said john with lift hands, and much more surprised than anyone could thing.- first... we dont have nomad weapons. Second, our ships dont have hardpoints to install those weapons. there is needed the most advanced fighters to mount it.
.- well sir, i could bring some weapons and our technicians could try mount them.-
.- and where you would go to get those weapons, SUn?.-
.- Kappa, Sir, Omicron Kappa, there is a jumph...
.- Mr SunTzu!! Omicron kappa is not a place for a small Taiddan Fighter, GMG havent lost anything there yet.
.- but Sir, i wanted help, i have fought several times and always had to flee for the lack of firepower of my Taiidan figh...
.- you are going so fast, Sun, too fast for a newcommer...-. concluded John Adams. he made a pause, .-anything else??
.- nothign, else, sir... .- finished Suntzu with angry face. until he moved out of the office.
.- SUN!! make hard working and you will be promoted... dont forget, okay??
weeks later, Suntzu was promoted to Ensign. he was given a Stinger Heavy Fighter, and with it, the posibilities to make something crazy...
.- to all wings, form on me and open your eyes... i dont want any corsair, outcast or Nomad ruin this day.- said John Adams in a private frecuence of radio.
two full squadrons jumped into the glowing light sorrounded of sparks usually called "jumphole". the jumpholes were some gravitational effect wich provocates a incredible acceleration of the mass which go throught it. They were used for travel between systems. and this hole was bringing Suntzu and his partners to a Omicron Gamma.
.- no contacts. 15k perimeter safe.- said one voice in the speaker. It came from one Taiidan fighter on vanguard of the group
.- Proceed.- answered the voice of John Adams
the 8 ships moved into a green cloud with asteroids. they tried to keep the formation at first, but tt was a challenge dodge those asteroids at such cruise speed, but what was realy worst when the alien micro-organism got accumulated in the window`s seals making a greasy green pulp.
- eeeks! what a foul!! .- said without intention SunTzu in the private frecuance of radio
- hahahaha!! this paste is well paid in cambridge, dont wipe it at all... .- said Will Rogers, the leader of the squadorn of Sun
- Shut up everybody!! i want radio silence from NOW, understood?? .- argued John.
the 2 squadrons spend some hours traveling in that green gas and rock nebula full of micro-organism. Radio silence was being so annoying since minutes after the Colonel John Adams gave the order. SunTzu, saw some shiny Corsair ships floating between rocks. At first he saw one, but it didnt care. Scanners now were showing up a unknown jumphole just 10 km in front of them, and the distance was decreasing so fast: it was their objetive. As closest to the JumpHole they were, as many corsairs wreckages he saw.
None was talking, but everybody in both squadrons were scared: here was a big battle, and corsairs were defeated. Only one of them was not scared, only one knew already where was they going., only one knew what was they doing there, and knew the back-home path.
suddenly, Sun, thought see something shine fastly.. like a spark, and spending some seconds, he saw something big, a big wreck, a big stranded minig ship... and moved his ship towards there.
- Mr Sun Tzu!! you are moving out of the formation, what the hell happens to you??!! .- shouted John Adams, breaking the radio silence. But he didnt need any answer, he could see that stranded mining ship floating with the asteroids... "this stupid child wont bring us anything good".. thought John, "he is so disobedient" .- what`s going on mate??.- asked any squadron member in the radio. - RADIO SILENCE IS RADIO SILENCE, WHAT OF THIS WORDS DIDNT YOU UNDERSTOOD!!! .- shouted so angry John Adams .- Sun, come back now! we wont wait for you!!.- but Sun Tzu only had the events what happened several months ago in his mind.
.- SUN!!.- shouted with impotence john.- both squadron wait here, maintain radio silence and open your eyes for any attack.-
The Stinger heavy fighter of John turned in a wide angle dodging some rocks, in direction of the wreckage. as closest he was of it, began to see human rest, covered with "green viscous microbiological things".. was a terrible show. and there was standing the Sun?s ship. The figure inside didnt move neither... john could see that from his cockpict
john opened the low range radio: SUN! what happens to you, damnit newbie! i shouldnt have asked anything in the pub that day... for God!
suddenly, in the squadron group, none could see a hollow blue fighter-shaped moving slowly to them, even the long range scanners could detect that kind of ships. that cloaking device was a great advantage to make fleets move close to enemy ships and dont let them time enought to prepare... and that was happened.
-NOMADS!!!.- shouted one GMG pilot in the radio. The 6 fighters disbanded, without knowing from where was coming the enemy. several blue small ships appeared in scanners, aprocahing fast, very fast. - i want everybody come back to my position, tactical retreat, guys, you know how to do it!.- said the Command
officer. The Stinger fighter of Sun Tzu didnt move, but the CEO have somethign more importatn to do now.
AAARRGG!!!.- one of the further Taiidan fighters was shot down by nomad guns when tried to follow John Adams orders. The blue-hollow plage followed them.. but there was John Adams, he was not let his wginmen fall. Openning fire, made one of the nomads evade, with half hull...
