Captain Basson

Captain Basson released his three O-cruisers in the direction of his three assigned Soofir cruisers to his starboard, while pondering an attack strategy. For a moment he felt paralyzed but shook it off when the three Soofir turned toward him and released their fighters. He decided on Kayla's favorite trick.

"Todd, release your O-fighters and set a vector to intercept the three Soofir cruisers. Set your K-boxes for a frontal attack. When I begin firing, that's your signal to cut your engines as I slow." Five minutes later, Todd reported the fighters were in position, and Basson began firing missiles and slowed. A minute later, the Soofir began firing missiles and forty fighters were hurtling toward him. He could not imagine what he would do if his three O-cruisers were manned with hundreds of crew. He concluded Black Eagle was a true Oracle selecting Kayla. He smiled. Win or lose, he was losing only cruisers and fighters, not people.

Two of his O-cruisers took multiple hits and he cut their power. Before he could cut the engines to his third O-cruiser after multiple hits, it exploded. Several minutes later he saw the thirty-six Anixian O-fighters engines ignite and scored repeated direct hits on the three Soofir cruisers. Two of the Soofir cruisers were heavily damaged and the third lost power. Shortly afterward, another one lost power and multiple explosions ripped the third into pieces. His cruisers stopped firing. He smiled in satisfaction and relief, not one person killed in a major confrontation between six war cruisers. "Well," he amended out loud, "not one human."
