Sector 1200

Planet 1205

“The enemy is hailing us in comms.” the communications officer announced.

“Patch them through.” Parks crossed her arms and faced the battle screen.

A thin tall Caucasian man with minimal hair on his head dressed in an unconventional space uniform had a very pissed face.

“Surrender now and I will spare the lives of your crew.” the man demanded.

“And who I am speaking to?” Parks shrugged feeling unintimidated.

“I am Deividas, leader of MoB, surrender yourselves immediately. Final warning.” the man ordered.

“A mob? Haha, you call three ships a mob? Why don't you surrender and I'll see to it that your death will be quick.” Parks taunted.

“Wait till you see our full force. Hey...is that Charlie of NB? That bastard.” Deividas looked in the comms and saw Charlie in the background.

“That is none of your concern. Your battle is with me pirate and the rest of the VEGA corporation.” Parks turned her head to look at her communications officer for cues of Vorzer's support.

“Charlie, you are a traitor by working with VEGA.” Deividas announced.

“I am not working with the corporation.” Charlie mouthed his side.

“You are so full of shit. You think I'm stupid?” Deividas pointed his finger.

“Believe what you like. You are entitled to your own opinion, but I am speaking the truth.” Charlie sighed.

“Bullshit. You and NB will all be marked as enemies to MoB now. We know where you are and there are no place for your kind.” Deividas angrily declared.

“You are an unreasonable man.” Charlie kept his cool as he took deep breaths.

“Ah hem. Okay...enough. Comms are over.” Parks interrupted with a cough as she saw the cue from her officer.

The battle screen shut off the communications link to Deividas' ship and returned to the space view. Charlie watched as three thermal Apocrypha cruisers flew around the planet and began beaming on one of the venoms. The Revelation cruiser noticed the incoming defensive VEGA ships and began to turn away to retreat.

“Cowards.” Parks watched as the Revelation quickly made a warp into space and disappeared leaving two obliterated Venoms floating in space.

“I need to warn my folks about MoB.” Charlie clenched his fist in frustration.

“Always caring about people over your own needs huh.” Parks watched as one Apocrypha approached her ship and began linking to its port.

 “You know me too well Sarah.” Charlie looked at Parks right in the eye.
