First, please: no flame, this is my first time when i make a bio/story in english;)
So...
Neural Net Infocard: Name: Adrian 'Shadow' Wright Age: 22 Birthplace: Bretonia, Leeds
Biography: Adrian was born in Leeds, Bretonia. He finished the Flyers Academy one year ago with an 'A' result. From childhood he always wanted to go to space - to unknown stars, planets and systems, for adventures and other. To gather money he was collecting gold in Dublin fields - it was stabilized and a bit dangerous way to get money.
Due to his wish to get to Edge Worlds, which contain alot of secrets and uncharted planets, treasures and dangers. Any found thing could make a revolution. That attracted Adrian the most. First his stop in Edge Worlds was the Omicron Theta system, Freeport 9. He came there with help of the father's old friend - a guy from GMG. When he heard about Adrian's wish about Edge Worlds, he suggested to escort Wright there. Adrian instanly agreed - his hope could be a real thing.
When he got to Freeport in Theta, he stopped in the bar and listened to news and talks around. One friendly man agreed to help Adrian to get to Omicron Delta, because that system like a system crossing - it contains a lot of jumpholes to alien worlds.
On his way to Delta through Kappa, he never saw a nomad, and started to think that they are gone and an endless fights of people against the aliens is only a fairy-tale. Finally, he made it to Delta and sucsessfully docked at Freeport 11, and started to plan what to do next. Soon he made an objective for himself - a huge asteroid field in the far side of the system.
He flyed there alone, without escort. Adrian's ship hit an asteroid, and his engines gone offline. He turned on all nanobots and started to just wait for the engine repair.
Suddenly, few ships appeared on the scanner. Ships was identified as 'Nomads'. 3 fighters and a gunboat. Engines were still offline, nanobots working, and shield was working on 50% only. When fighters got to fire range, they started to shoot without any word in radio. Dead silence and buzzing of alien technology lasers. After the first fire wave, shield has gone offline fully. Adrian was seriously scared - he never thought about that he could be killed so easily, without even chance to defend himself and die like a brave pilot. He fastly tryed to switch to max speed what ship could get with half-working engines. Cruise engines or thruster were both offline, so fighters got to him fastly. Hull was heavily damaged and had a leak in two places. Main energy generator was hit and almost all inner equipment wasnt working. When he understood that he is doomed, he began just to wait for the death.
But suddenly Adrian saw on his scanners 4 identified ships, closing in fast. They looked like Liberty Navy 'Guardians' or 'Avengers', but not them. And their weapons werent simular to Liberty 'Vengeance' or 'Magma Hammer'. All nomad figthers were destroyed in no time, gunboat was destroyed by a first missile volley. Next thing that was to happen, Adrian heard talks on radio channel:
- Aaron, Brian, stay with him while he repairs, we'll take out other patrol wings if any.
- Okay, look for the bounty hunters, they can ruin everything.
- Roger. Just take this guy to Minor. Our fleet will get another pilot. He should be skilled if he got to Edge Worlds.
Three months passed after this moment, and now Adrian Wright was one of the order pilots, having the 'Nephthys' fighter.
So, lets try a some story. Sorry for my a bit rusty English, but i hope its mostly correct.
A day from Adrian's life.
Adrian was stationed at Battleship Isis as one of the regular fighter pilots, patrolling the area near the B-Ship Isis and the Omicron-100 jumphole. He proved himself as a good fighter pilot, agile with the fighter controls and able to shoot right in the target more good. Another day, it's all was the same - nomad fighters, bounty hunters scout group, little navy patrols around some jumpholes. His wing was an another patrol, which is almost ended and ships are headed back to Isis, when they have received a private message from Isis:
- We are picking LSF ships on our scanners! Launch all fighters! Charge your weapons immediately.
- Roger that, Isis. What do you picking on the long-range scanners?
- Scans show that there are one Navy Cruiser, 3 gunboats, and 5 fighters.
- We can't stand too long against the capital ships, they can crush us in a couple of shots.
- You need to keep their attention off the Isis and the Toledo, before Praetorians wll arrive. Take off the Guardians, if you can, they can be a big trouble to bombers.
- We are still outnumbered; only 4 Nephthys fighters against the middle-sized fleet. Not fair, i must admit.
- Beta and Gamma wings will launch from Toledo in a minute or two, just hold them off.
- Understood
Adrian looked at his scanner data. Hostiles were 10k away, moving at full speed.
- Okay guys, so listen: Alpha-3 and Alpha-4, take care of the gunboats, use the 'maximum fire' manoeuvres. Alpha-2, follow me, we must shot out the fighters. Don't worry about cruiser, it won't hit us at such distance. Isis will provide us with some help.
- Alpha-2. Roger.
- Alpha-3. Understood.
- Alpha-4. Affirmative.
The fleet turned off the cruise engine, moving slowly to wing's location. Isis opened fire from some turrets, targeting still not regrouped in battle formation fighters. One of them with an amazing explosion became a bit of space dust.
A big group of Order fighters as near the docking ring.
- This is Beta Wing. We're going in.
- This is Gamma-1. Engaging.
- Beta and Gamma, take off the gunboats, Alpha, destroy the fighters.
Suddenly the cruiser forward gun has shotted. It only hitted the rocks in field.
And the fight has started.
Beta and Gamma opened fire with all guns and fired Sunslayer torpedoes. Everything was looking fine - pilots were very good trained, so to defeat a small amount of fighters was a little job. Two gunboats were destroyed by precise fire of Sunslayers, other one and the cruiser were shooting at full power. Their shields were too strong, although the last gunboat was destroyed, but not the cruiser.
- Mission accomplished, let's wait for bombers. They're deal with this cruiser.
Cruiser Forward gun shotted again, and now its shot hitted the planet. Hoply, no bases were harmed by this shot. But 3 Praetorians suddenly emerged from the nebula.
- Zeta-1. Bombers arrived!
- Great, let's finally deal with this cruiser, before it will be able to shot the planet again!
- Fly to Isis, dont get too close! Launching Novas...
6 Nova torpedoes hitted the cruiser, damaged its shield. Then another six... Then there was a giant flash of light and a huge explosion...
- This is Isis. Radars clear! Alpha wing is clear to dock at bays 2 and 3. It's over.
Adrian 'Shadow' Wright Neural Net Log
Entry #OD003
Those Bounty Hunters really getting annoying. It hasn't passed even two minutes before our wing encountered a patrol of BH, which was successfully eliminated. Everything was fine, Amos had already reported about few hunters patrols, looks like our flight was successful. We were heading back to Isis when we picked thin alarm beacon signal. All wing stopped, one by one.
Alarm beacon - a rare thing, sending a SOS signal in 20k radius. Don't reply on this signal - is even worse then let your friend die in front of you. Only the last coward can fly nearby and don't pay any attention to it. These things are made for military expeditions, but for some time traders for a crazy amount of credits sold them to some freelancers.
So, when we have picked the signal, i said on private radio channel:
- Alpha, split and search the area. Whoever activated the beacon, we must find him and help. I think nomads can arrive soon to his position, so move quickly. Wright out.
- Roger that, Alpha leader!
I've headed to north. Soon the signal was picking up more loud and clear. Artur, which headed to the west, said the same. Looks like this unknown ship was shot by someone near the Unknown jumphole. Strange.
After one or two minutes of flying, we had this ship in sights. This was a liberty Mammoth, carrying alot of nomads of various types and a lot of artifacts.
- Well, well, well, who do we have here, - I said, - a Liberty transport in the middle of Order space with activated alarm beacon?
- Sir, what are your orders now?
- It look like a scientist ship after all. We can use it.
- Take him to Toledo?
- No. First scan him, he can have a hidden tracer or a long-range data transmitter. Just a tricky way to scout our territory. Send for the M26, we'll take this guy there. There we can provide more deeper scanning.
- Roger. How do we transfer him to M26?
- Simple. Take him in one of the escape pods and jettison, M26 captain will tractor it.
- Understood.
Soon one of us departed to Toledo, I took this 'scientist' and went to cargo hold, to look on this guy.
This man looked like 40-standard years old professor of some research institute, a little tired of life, with a bunch of wrinkles on his face. Well, he'll probably be useful, if he is so clever as he looks. I gently put the body in one of the escape pods, and readied it to successful dropping.
- Alright, head to Toledo. Doc's ready for a little fly in a pod.
After few minutes we arrived at Toledo. In a couple of minutes an M26 gunboat launched and headed to ours position.
- M26 here. Well, drop this doc. Let's see, what he carries.
- Roger.
I pushed the drop button, and looked how pod flyed out. Then light-blue colored beam took scientist inside ship's cargo hold.
- Great work, guys. We'll take care about him and transfer data about him in few standard hours. M26 out.
- Roger that. Alpha, land on Isis.
Few seconds later...
- Isis? This is Alpha leader, requesting permission to dock...
