MILKY WAY SECTOR 9

AFS MA-PRIMARY

Commander Lekkas (AFS MA-Primary): “Defense shield power generator targeted and locked. Firing.”

Her arcalaser tore into the module tucked beneath the station’s central structure, sending unmoored energy shooting outward ahead of a burst of flame that in turn quickly evaporated for a dearth of oxygen.

“Hello, Vigil. Guess who’s here.” Morgan spun away from the station and swept around to set up for the next, slightly altered run.

You should have burned the greeting into the station hull with the arcalaser.

Ha! I like it, Stanley. Graffiti written in the stars at eight hundred kilojoules per second. But if I’d done something that dramatic, I probably would have written ‘Fuck you, Vigil.’

A valid alternative, to be sure.

She chuckled and slipped unnoticed between two automated drones headed in the opposite direction, toward the fleet that was now making itself conveniently known.

Vigil HQ’s defense shielding wasn’t as robust as the defenses at the large manufacturing facilities. It didn’t include a physical barrier blocking entry or a staffed checkpoint, presumably due to traffic in and out of HQ being too frequent for such an onerous barrier to be practical.

Still, taking out the primary defense shield with the opening volley was going to make their job simpler. More importantly, though, doing so had triggered the station’s external defenses and sent a horde of drones flying away from the station and toward the fleet. Maybe some manned ships, too. Security was now firmly focused on the external threat; with any luck, so focused they wouldn’t even notice the internal one.

Commandant Solovy (Stalwart II): “Infiltration team, you are clear to proceed.”

The fleet engaged the approaching defenders, if only passably so in a gambit to draw out the engagement and buy the infiltration team time to work.

With the shield down and the drones distracted, Morgan instructed the Eidolon flights to begin delivering their payloads: twenty-two negative energy bombs set for remote detonation. Sending the signal for detonation was to be the last act of the mission.

I hope Brook tries to avoid the exploding remains of any Vigil mechs this time. Also, sharp claws belonging to monstrous beasts.

I suspect Captain Harper will risk life and limb as she deems necessary in order to perform her job expertly, as always.

Heh. It would be fantastic if she’d actually limit doing so to when it’s necessary.

You worry about her.

More than I want to. I feel like a ninny.

She skimmed a hair over three meters beneath the station’s lower hull, invisible and undetectable. Due ahead lay a junction of station modules—a weak point ready to crumble to dust under the force of the bomb she carried.

She is highly skilled at her job.

And Morgan didn’t want to talk about it anymore. Yep. So am I.

Commander Lekkas (MA-Primary): “Placement of negative energy bombs commencing. Detonation will be on my mark and not an instant before it.”
