Chapter 9

Desperation

“How long do you think we can keep this up?” asked Rhule from the Veruvian’s command deck. He was speaking to one of his crew in charge of keeping an eye on the shields and the dreadnought’s structural integrity.

“At this rate, I’d guess thirty minutes,” answered the crew member. “At most.”

The whole of the Veruvian shook as they took a couple more hits from the Shapeless fighters. They crashed into the dreadnought’s superior shields, but did massive damage each and every time.

“Do what you have to do to extend that. We have to hold on long enough for backup to arrive. Otherwise we’re going to lose this fight.” Rhule then turned his attention to another crew member, one of three in charge of the ship’s weapons. “I don’t want our cannons to stop firing until all this is over. Understood?”

“Yes sir!” answered one of the three.

Rhule got up out of his commander’s chair and walked up to one of the viewing screens. He looked on as all hell was breaking loose outside. The other Shapeless flagships, witnessing one of their own going down, had joined the fight. They, along with hundreds and hundreds of their fighters, were devastating the combined AIC fleet, including the fighter squadrons under Ben’s command.

“Sorry, Ben,” Rhule said under his breath. “I think we’re out of miracles for you.”
