A
young man who looked to be in his early twenties sat the the end of
table gently loosening his collar as he was greeted by Owens.
“I'm
Vice Admiral Owens...and you must be...?” Owens offered his hand.
“Jake.
Jake Cornthwaite.” the man stood up and shook his hand.
Jake
sat back down looking unamused at Owen's welcome.
“So,
where's Charlie?” Jake said impatiently as he tapped his fingers
along the rim of the table.
“You
know him?” Owens grabbed a seat.
“Yes,
we used to duel Nighthawks before. A good pilot like me.” Jake
replied cockily.
“Ahh
I see.” Owens nodded.
“So...
where is he? He should be the one greeting me here first.” Jake
looked at the open room.
“He's
in a coma...” Owens stared uneasily being slightly offended by his
remarks.
“Wait!
What?” Jake shouted out in disbelief.
“It's
a long story. I'm in charge of all operations. So what brings CMD
here?” Owens asked.
Jake
stood up from his seat and looked out of the window into space. The
reflection on the window showed him smile a little and then he turned
back to look at Owens.
“We'll
be hitting nearby facilities for some fun and resources. We will be
leaving NB alone and I hope you don't interfere for your sake.”
Jake grinned mischievously.
“What
is this nonsense?” Owens replied enraged.
“This
is called insecting. Inter-Sector hitting. Plain and simple.” Jake
replied cooly.
“This
is a peaceful sector, why can't you go raid another sector? War is
not good.” Owens hit his fist onto the table.
“Come
on, don't be a sector cop. We're not fans of that.” Jake walked to
the door.
“You
think you can start shit here?” Owens threatened.
“Oh...we
already have.” Jake winked and walked out.

Ten
Revelation cruisers flew to a medium-sized mining facility stopped
outside the combat turret defence ranges. Inside the bridge of a
ship, a transmission was shown.
“Commanders,
it's time to have some fun.” Jake transmitted.
“Engage
the base!” the commander of the ship acknowledged and pointed
forward.
The
cruisers split into a line formation and began firing on the nearest
mining modules. The defence turrets activated and began firing fast
projectiles into the cruisers. Due to the sheer firepower of the
combined cruisers, the turrets were being shredded into pieces by an
array of lasers making quick work of the facility. In a matter of
minutes, the entire facility was demolished and in ruins.
“One
down...who's next?” the commander looked at the next facility in
view.
