(100 BBT) - System IV-6501 Planet III “Nuwe Elize” | First Quadrant | Allied Nations Territory

“Still nothing, Sir” reported Tel’amar, the Valtoran Lieutenant, to Captain Jan Ezekiel of the 12th Terrestrial Ward of Nuwe Elize in his office. “I can’t find any languages that fits them, whatever they are.”

Tel’amar was responsible to interrogate the mysterious alien the ward had captured last night in a raid on Nuwe Elize’s foundry disrict, an operation that costed Captain Ezekiel six brave Terrestrials and wounded two dozen more.

They only managed to subdue this alien’s underlings and claded them in shield-coffers and shock-cuffs after dealing with their unidentified weaponry, technology no one in Nuwe Elize had ever seen. Reports of the strange circumstances had been filed to the Institution of Justice, but Captain Ezekiel doubt they’ll read it until next week.

For months, all wards of Nuwe Elize had been on the hunt of a distributor for a dangerous substance called ‘spice’, a substance put on high alert by the IOJ after causing thousands of deaths across the Alliance. Investigators trailed the track back to Nuwe Elize, simply because the ‘spice’ hadn’t got distributed before the colony was founded less than a decade ago, and that it was in the least patroled system of the First Quadrant.

“Have you filed for leave-of-use of the CBD Database?” asked the Captain. Lieutenant Tel’amar nodded. “I have, Sir, but I doubt we’ll get answers today, let alone if its accepted or not. I’ll call up some favor from my friends in the archives to speed things up.”

Captain Ezekiel sighed. “Get yourself some rest, then, and ask Charlize to come to my office,” Captain Ezekiel commanded. Lieutenant Tel’amar bowed with respect and left the room. Moments later, Lieutenant Esther Charlize entered and stood at attention. Captain Ezekiel gestured her to the seats.

“It’s all 124 crates, Sir, each measuring a standard tonne. Two more tonnes were being partitioned to smaller packages for transportation,” Lieutenant Charlize answered the question Captain Ezekiel was going to ask. “If you’re asking me, the reports are true. This is ground zero for the distribution network. Or at least it was, thanks to us.”

“Any luck with the arrival and hyperjump log from the stations up there?” asked the Captain. Lieutenant Charlize shook her head. “It’s all been registered ships on the logs, and all the pirates and smugglers we’ve encountered leaving while carrying these cargo have been identified and accounted for. But we have nothing on ships that brought the damned stuff here.”

“So, it’s either the jump logs had been screwed over with, or we’re dealing with ships that does not use hyperjumps, and with somekind of a cloaking ability?” Captain Ezekiel theorized.

Lieutenant Charlize shrugged her shoulder with a sigh. “Well, it’s not really out of the realm of possibility, Sir, considering the ‘weapons’ they brought along.”

“Well, I expect you file the reports to the IOJ database as soon as possible, and then get yourself some rest. Good work for today, Esther,” Captain Ezekiel dismissed Lieutenant Charlize, the latter stood up and bowed before leaving.

Captain Ezekiel gathered his belongings before leaving the office. The Governor had arranged to meet with the wounded Terrestrials in the Medical Center this evening, and he had to be there to ward off the press before the Governor meet his overdosed son, still in comma in one of the secluded wards, a matter the Commissioner had given him to handle delicately, especially before next year’s election.

The Captain felt a little lighter that this affair had come to some closure. Or at least that what was he hoped for.

The SCS At Most Opportune Time is a Marigold Class Landing Platform Gunship (LPG) of the Syndicate Contracting Navy, purchased through a front corporation from the Orion Star Navy. Having heard the transmission on Nassau frequencies, the crew had broke the record jump from Voidsea to Alvira in under five days of traveling, knowing a lump sum reward awaited them for rescuing an entire operation area.

“Okay people, get the Sprite Gunships ready for ground assault. I want long range communications black outs, and I want the space shut down. That means Pixies on standing patrols, and Unicorns on interdiction. Someone get me information on their faster-than-light so we can shut that down too. What’s our mag-depth on the Spellcaster II and High in the Sky?”

“Spellcaster II has 280 cells, with 120 SDM-41’s, 40 Canvassers, and the other cells are empty. High in the Sky has 1024 cells with 240 SDM-41’s, 320 Canvassers, and 193 Drifter AShMs. Programmable Anti-Matter Burst, Kinetic Penetrator.”

“You don’t need to tell me specs, anybody on that FTL?”

“Nothing yet.”

“First group of Sprites are up, waiting on a LZ.”

“Pixies are taking off, I’ve taken the liberty of mixing their loadouts between strike and space superiority.”

“Power cycles are good on the communications jammer, the radar one’s spooling up, might take a bit though.”

“New ship on scope.”

“We have an IFF Tag, it’s a civvie freighter.”

“I just got a triangulation off the terminal. It’s a bit wack, but it’s good enough.”

“Put it through.”

“Unicorn Bombers are clearing the flight deck, torpedoes and missile haulers.”

“Okay, let’s get the broadcast over with, announce our terms.”

“Can someone explain to me what is going on?” System-Governor Alfrid Blenheim marched into the situation room of the Administration Complex of Nuwe Elize, followed by a dozen aides.

Nuwe Elize orbital Station Commander, First Lieutenant Johanna Elsbeth was on the wide screen, and the Valtoran Major Sar’mon, the commander of Nuwe Elize’s defense, stood at attention.

“Sir, we’ve received a communique from an unregistered fleet of ships, demanding cease of all flights in and out of the planet,” the Major started.

“It’s a fleet of 17 heavily armed ships, by the look of it. We detected strong energy fields from each. Six of the ships are larger than Citrine-Class Carrier Frigates,” the Station Commander explained.

“That’s a whole fleet,” the Governor commented, his angered face softened to fear. “Who are they? We’ve dispatched an emergency alert, yes?”

“We have, Sir, to the nearest patrol fleets the moment we detected their entrance to the system. But we haven’t sent out the details of these intruders yet, it appears our communication is being jammed,” Major Sar’mon answered.

“Sir, they’re releasing smaller vessels, possibly starfighters. We have a civilian freighter just exiting hyperdrive near their location,” the Station Commander alerted. “How many starfighters?” asked the Major.

“We can’t be sure for now, Sir. What should we do with the civilian freighter?” asked the Station Commander.

“Tell them to jump right back to the nearest system, of course,” the Governor exclaimed. “We can’t, those ships need hours to cool down their hyperdrives for the next jump,” the Major explained.

“You can’t face them and expect to stay alive on your own either. Elsbeth, evacuate the Station, we’ll send out fighters from the ground to try to escort that civilian ship and tractor it with our repulsor lifts, we’ll kept them busy while at it. If they fire, we fire, we might be able to swarm them. We’ll have our ground force on alert,” the Station Commander nodded, before fading away. The Major moved to the hypercomm officer in the room and took out a microphone.

“This is Major Sar’mon speaking, I’m putting all bases on Alpha Alert. All planetary defense is to be mobilised, all civilians to be moved to save-zones. All Defense Fighter Unit to be readied and armed at once. Captain Ser’alan, Captain Rorke, and Captain Belmont to report to your hypercomm station to receive further instructions for your squadron. This is Major Sar’mon speaking,…”

“That civvie frieghter’s sticking around. Q-Ship, maybe?”

“It’s been stationary. We’re not trying to blow some poor civvies to hell, cause of wrong place wrong time.”

“Surface radar reports, ground installations for defense. They’re gonna cause us issues if we put our guys on the ground.”

“Start marking the ones closest to the drop zone. Drop the towers with Space to Surface when we’re ready to proceed.”

“Active radar is being jammed across all scopes.”

“I got a stray transmission caught in the filter. A Major Sar’mon, leader of the Nuwe Elize’s Defense Forces. He’s organizing the defense. I have a location in Nuwe Elize’s most populated area.”

“Put me through to him.”

“I got a line.”

// Closed Loop Frequency

Major Sar’mon, cease your efforts. I can assure you that no civilians will be harmed unless you fail to comply with my instructions. Stand down. There is no situation where you come out on top. If you continue, I will start destroying your planet’s capital, block by block, starting with the most populated, and ending where you are. Unless you want to die and wish for others to come to harm, stand down. Recall your corvettes and fighters, and stand down.

“They’re demanding what now?” asked the Governor. “Can we even trust them? Who are they?”

“Sir, we had no luck with the database. We couldn’t identify them,” one of the officers reported to the Major.

The Major hesitated for a moment. “Governor, Sir, this might be something more than the usual raiding parties. We can’t be sure of their capabilities, and they might have an edge in firepower in orbit. Before reinforcements arrive, I’m afraid we have no other course but to acquiesce.”

“Ask them what they want and accommodate them. We might be able to buy some time. I want the Terrestrial officers here too,” demanded the Governor.

The Major turned to the Comms. “Commander Elsbeth, Captain Ser’alan, Rorke, Belmont, keep a high alert but stay where you are for now.” He then gestured the Hypercomm officer to hail the hostile fleet through their frequency.

“This is Major Sar’mon of the Allied Defence Force. You are currently in breach of Alliance laws. State your identity and your purpose!”

The nearest patrol convoy answered the suddenly cut-off emergency call and jumped in the furthest point of the system.

“Look at the size of those ships! That’s an entire battle formation!” the scanner operator exclaimed.

“We can’t do anything about that, that’s for sure,” the ship’s Pilot commented.

“Sir, we can’t contact the planet, all communication there has been jammed,” reported the comms officer.

“Set course to the nearest data-relay station. We’ll call in the fleet,” commanded the Fourth-Class Lieutenant.

“We might burn the hyperdrive if we jump now. The transports can handle it but this corvette might be stunned for a while,” the Pilot explained.

“That’s fine. Just jump now.”

“Sar’mon, I’m Noelle Kirasan, Syndicate Contracting Navy. Our time will be exceptionally brief, in and out, like a whisper. Don’t worry your little head about a thing. In my experience, cooperation in these tense times produces results.”

“We’re heading groundside now. Towers are still silent.”

“IWC. More intercepted communiques. We’re gonna have a fight on our hands in a couple minutes.”

“Target locations are fixed, splash area acceptable.”

“Fire control of enemy corvettes is acceptable.”

“Communique from the SCS Nine Irons. Requesting progress on exfil.”

“Tell them enemy reinforcements are enroute and be ready to smash through their lines. Exfil in progress.”

“Very well, sending it.”

“Eyes on target.”

“Making Landfall now.”

“Objectives should be inside that police station. Try not to kill anybody. RoE’s tight on this one. I’m not trying to light this whole block up for your mistakes.”

“Yeah, yeah, Serpent Actual starting to clear objective.”

“What are they after?” asked the Governor. “They’re landing on the 16th Ward Penitentiary, sir,” one of the officers answered.

“That’ll be where that alien is being held, then,” Captain Jan Ezekiel, who had just arrived at the command center, commented. “I knew something was off with it. It must’ve sent out a distress signal when we captured it.”

“What of your men, Captain? I hope they’re not risking the lives of civilians by playing brave,” Major Sar’mon asked.

“Oh, I’ve told them to remain steady sir, acquiescing to all of their demands for the time being,” Captain Ezekiel looked less than enthused.

“Still no luck with the relays?” the Governor asked. “None so far, sir. They must’ve had some very advanced jamming tech,” one of the officers answered.

“We’ll just hope one of the regular patrols sees what is happening here and reports it back to one of the reserves. Emergency drives should bring them here in less than a day from their last coordinates,” Major Sar’mon commented. “For now, we had to just lay low.”

“Hyperdrive overheating, sir, we will be stranded here for a while,” one of the officers on the bridge reported to Captain Julia Adrianus.

“That’s fine, we can resupply here whilst we’re at it,” Captain Julia answered. “Sir, we’ve arrived.”

“I can quite see that, thank you, Captain,” Rear Admiral Jaan van Teck answered whilst rolling his eyes. “We’ve picked up anything around Nuwe Eliza, yes?”

“As reported, Sir, 2 ships at least as large as our own Aquamarines, 2 more a bit larger than regular Quartzs, and the rest are smaller than it, about the sizes of Garnets and Peridots,” another officer reported. “They’re on orbit, near the orbital station.”

“They jammed all communications in and out of the planet, Sir.”

“We’ll use our larger relays. Link it with the rest of the ships, the signal might be strong enough to push through the jammers,” Admiral Teck commanded.

A flurry of activities went on the bridge before one of the officers reported back. “We’re ready to link, Sir.”

“Inform the governor, we’ve arrived. Tell the fiends to cease their doings immediately, or else expect violence from us,” the Admiral gestured to the Captain. “What of the database?”

“No identification as of now sir. I propose caution,” Captain Adrianus answered. The Admiral nodded in contemplation.

“Steady on, Captain, lead the way.”

“IWC. Communique from hostile battlegroup. Putting it on screen.”

“Fuck, I admire the audacity.”

“I mean I would also be audacious if some random ships entered my space, silenced an entire planet and are conducting what’s basically an invasion.”

“Miss April, how do we look on munitions across the squadron?”

“Well we burned off a good portion of our supplies in that commerce raider hit. Besides the missiles.”

“Probably shouldn’t throw those things at them, especially if one fails.. Imagine if they reverse engineer one, those Drifters are prototypes.”

“Why give em to use if we can’t use em?”

“What if we mix the salvos with canvassers and drifters in 3:1 fashion.”

“Smartest thing I’ve heard out of you since we burned out here.”

“EWC, we’re seeing a malfunction on our number 3 comms jammer. We’re gonna have to put out a lower intensity until we can DC out on the hull to make fixes.”

“MWC, missiles on the grill. Fire control?”

“SCS Nine Irons is entering gravity well and is going to shunt.”

“Targets are being assigned fixes, no fire control.”

“300 says they shunt into the star or into LP3.”

“Deal!”

“Always knew they could get into Nassau, but I didn’t think could muster anything that quickly.”

“Welp, we’re doomed now, for sure,” the Governor commented. The whole room went quiet after the radar officer caught the new enemy arrivals on screen. The hope that went up when Admiral Teck arrived dissipated.

“Advise the Admiral to disengage, Major.”

“Sir, we’re going up there. We won’t let the Admiral fight alone,” Commander Rorke stated through the comms.

“No, Rorke, stand down! It’s suicide!” Major Sar’mon ordered, but the channel went static, together with the channels of Commander Ser’alan and Belmont. The scanner screen went blurred once more.

“Sir, the three fighter bases are flying off,” one of the Officers reported. “Enemy jammers are cutting off our communication again, we can’t contact the fleet and the orbital station above.”

“Use the cables, or just send your men there to stop them, now!”

“So, we’re just going to stand down, now?” Captain Jan Ezekiel remarked, a hint of anger in his voice. “We ought to help them! And die knowing we tried.”

“I will not have you risk civilian lives, Captain,” the Governor told firmly.

“And you think they intend no harm on civilians, Sir?” the Terrestrial Captain continued. “Well, they haven’t, so far. What would you do on my position, Captain? Letting ourselves get killed and then let the whole planet scorched for selfish pride?”

“At least I wont hide and cowers like a coward. I’m out of here," the Captain began stepping out of the room. “No, you won’t. Major, keep the Captain in this building! And let them know we’re cooperating, and that we’ve lost control over the rogue fighters.”

“Major, Sir?” the Terrestrial Captain questioned Sar’mon as two officers closed in on him. Major Sar’mon hesitated for a while, before nodding, letting the two officers take Captain Ezekiel away. “Officer, send our surrender. Tell them we’ve lost control over our fighters. Tell them to just do whatever they want and leave.”

“What was that?” an Officer exclaimed. A huge blast shocked the battleship and nearly knocked Admiral Teck, but he could see what just happened.

“We should hail the 94th and 104th to get here faster. Use the micro relays!” the Admiral ordered.

“Sir, they would take at least six hours to get here. We might only have a couple of hours left before whatever that thing is obliterate us,” Captain Julia explained.

“No. Emergency drives would fry their engines too, but those can get them here in three hours, maybe less. we can still form a defensive line, the capitals up front, the rest in between, providing fire supports and screens,” Admiral Teck rose up and moves to the comms officer.

“Sir, I must protest. We know they have superior arms,” Captain Julia stood up. Admiral Teck brushed her aside.

“Tell the capitals to form a line. The rest will pull back and reinforce the line,” “Sir, fighters from the planet are entering orbit,” an Officer reported.

“Took them long enough. Tell them to join formation with the rest of the squads, tell Burgen I’m putting them under his command,”

Another blast rocked the bridge again.

“Sir, this is suicide! I will not-” “The longer we held them off the bigger chance the rest of the Alliance can came to us. If not, then at least we give the smaller ships chance to recharge their drives and jump away. Since we’re stranded anyway, we have to hold, for now.” the Admiral proclaimed.

“Yes, Sir,” the Captain stated after some hesitation.
