Rumblelow
flew his Talon frigate escorted by his personal guards towards a
large Vega facility. The ship bay opened and revealed a massive bulky
ship that was under construction. He looked at the workers welding
parts together and found a spot to land his ship.
“Vice
President, everything is on schedule.” a commander overseeing the
construction walked towards Rumblelow as he walked out his ship.
“Excellent
commander! That ship is massive!” Rumblelow clapped in
satisfaction.
“You
are looking at five times the size of a Fury battleship...except it's
not a battleship is it sir?” the commander asked.
“A
whole new class.” Rumblelow tilted his head up to see the sheer
scale of the ship.
“What
is it?” the commander asked.
“That's
above your pay. Just get it finished early. The President would want
it early for testing.” Rumblelow waved him off.
“Understood
sir.” the commander saluted and walked off.
Rumblelow
walked down a hallway
and scanned his eyes on a retinal scanner at the end of the hall. The
door hissed open and he entered into the darkness. The door closed
shut and a hologram projected a figure seating on the chair with the
back to Rumblelow.
“Vice
President Betram Rumblelow” the figure greeted.
“Mr.
President.” Rumblelow bowed.
“I
assume everything is in order?” the figure spoke.
“Yes,
Project Ragnarok is a few more weeks from completion. If not, even a
bit early sir.” Rumblelow reported his findings.
“Very
well. Soon we will have the weapon to crush all those who oppose us.
No more freeloaders, rebels, pirates, and thieves.” the figure
chuckled with delight.
“Yes
Mr. President. We will regain control of this galaxy and bring
profits back to the corporation.” Rumblelow nodded in agreement.
“That
too, but we will finish what we started on Polaki.” the figure
replied.
“Polaki...that
name...it's been so long since I heard that.” Rumblelow eyes
widened.
“Yes,
it has my friend. Yes it has. Now go to the archives and pull up
everything we learnt of Polaki.” the figure gave the orders and the
hologram transmission ended.
Rumblelow
exited the room and walked towards the hangar. He had heard the
stories of Polaki, but had never actually been there. Rumour has it
that the planet contained secrets to sustaining life, but the
research was stopped and the corporation never proceed to further
explore the idea.
“Ship's
all prepped and ready.” an officer reported as Rumblelow entered
the cockpit.
“We
head to HQ now.” Rumblelow told the officer and his personal guards
in orbit.

Charlie
opened his heavy eyelids and stared at the ceiling.
“Ahh!”
Charlie gripped his stomach where he recalled being impaled.
“You're
awake! That's good news!” a medical officer rushed into the room.
“What's
going on? Where am I?” Charlie tried to sit up.
“Please
rest. You were in a coma after your crash.” the officer held
Charlie down.
“Coma?
What? What day is it?” Charlie blinked in disbelief.
“December
8, 2052 sir. Here have some water.” the officer walked over his
desk and poured a cup of water.
“Thanks,
get me Owens please. I have debrief him regarding the mission.”
Charlie waved his hand.
“I
know it's a lot to take in at this time, but Owens is no longer
here.” the officer spoke softly.
“What?
Huh? No longer here?” Charlie tried to sit up.
“Owens
was killed in action last month.” the officer alerted other medical
staff nearby.
“What?
How could it be?” Charlie raised his voice and tried to leave the
bed.
The
medical staff quickly went in and held Charlie down.
“Sir,
you must rest.” the medical officer grabbed a syringe.
“No,
get off me! I must speak to Owens now wherever you are hiding him!”
Charlie pushed one medical staff to the ground and tripped on the
wires connecting to his body.
The
medical staff quickly pinned Charlie to the ground and the officer
quickly administered a relaxant into Charlie's arm.
“Take
it easy, everything is going to be alright.” the officer pulled out
the needle and watched Charlie's eyes close.
The
staff quickly lifted Charlie from the ground and placed him back onto
the bed.
“What's
the commotion?” Paul walked into the room.
“Charlie
woke up and had a reality attack.” the officer replied.
“And...?”
Paul crossed his arms.
“He
got very aggressive and we had to relax him before he hurts himself.”
the officer reported.
“That's
good news. I'll notify the others.” Paul thanked.
“Yeah,
someone has got to tell him what happened with Owens. He seemed to be
keen on speaking with Owens.” the officer waved the medical staff
to leave the room.
“I'll

The
battle had been so big that that there were so much debris floating
in the sector. Friendly miners of different organizations had been
invited to come harvest the debris field and recycle the parts for
reuse.
“His
ship is out there somewhere.” Stella watched as Tassos scanned the
debris field for signs of life.
“I
must find him. He was like a brother to me.” Tassos looked on.
“I
know...” Stella placed her hand on Tassos' shoulders to comfort
him.
Tassos
sighed as he sat down to face reality. He removed his Spartan helmet
and looked at it.
“Another
great warrior has fallen.” Tassos stood up and looked at his crew.
The
crew turned to look at their leader.
“We
shall honour the sacrifices many have made so that peace can
continue.” Tassos placed his helmet beside his hip.
The
crew removed their Spartan helmets and did the same. Tassos closed
his eyes to remember his friend.
“Thank
you.” Tassos whispered and turned to look at his wife.
“Let
us go home now dear.” Stella held his hand.
“Stop
scanning. We go home now.” Tassos transmitted to his fleet.

“Hell

“Very
impressive indeed.” McClelland clapped as he presented Irene with a
combat medal.
Natalia
also received a medal and hugged Irene once she got off the stage.
“Our
first medals.” Natalia squealed with joy as she examined her shiny
medal.
“Now
I know the price of getting a medal...it's hard.” Irene remembered
the intensity of the battle and tried to take the image out of her
head.
“Yes
it is.” Papagiannis replied sensing discomfort from Irene's voice.
“I
don't know if I want to be part of this.” Irene looked at her feet.
“Part
of what?” Natalia asked.
“The
war...the killings.” Irene spoke softly.
“We
had to do what's necessary. We got attacked...and we defended
ourselves.” Papagiannis chose his words carefully.
“Yeah,
but the others weren't so fortunate.” Irene sighed.
“It's

hand on Irene's shoulder and looked her straight in the eye.
“I

Joel
rushed towards his command centre and hailed Jake on the comms.
“What
is this sorcery? I thought you said that they were weak and
unorganized.” Joel clenched his fist and smashed at the desk.
“They
were. I didn't know they had some super alliance or something.”
Jake replied cooly.
“Well,
it's costly. Do you know how many ships I have to send on auto to
protect my base?” Joel watched as another fleet of cruisers lift
off from his ship bay and head towards the protective barrier.
“Hey,
I'm still out here fighting.” Jake ended the comms.
“God
damn it! No one messes with Lord Cyber Joel!” Joel watched as the
mass driver rounds slammed into his ships barrier.
“Alert!
Ship bay under attack!” the alarm sounded in the command centre.
Joel
watched as MYRM ships began hammering his ship bay with lasers. He
knew if he ordered his ships to attack the ships attacking his bay,
there would be no reinforcements for his command centre making it
vulnerable to the destroyers.
“Alert!
Ship bay under attack” the alarm sounded.
“Move
ships to protect the bay. I need to get off his base.” Joel shouted
at a nearby officer.
“Yes
Lord Joel.” the officer nodded and began relaying commands.
Joel
ran as fast as he could to a new Nighthawk still awaiting a paintjob
and turned on its engines. He watched as a new wave of cruiser begin
to take off and timed it so that he left the bay at the same time
covering his ship from enemy fire.
“How
dare they challenge my wealth!” Joel cried as the mass driver
rounds finally got through the barrier and slammed into the bridge.
Explosions
ripped through the towers and the centre began to tear in half.
“Screw
you Jake. You are a dead man after this.” Joel watched as all his
ships turn off upon the destruction of his command centre.
Joel
quickly flew away from the battlefield and warped out of the area. It
was a matter of time when the rest of the GG members realized that
their almighty lord's base had been destroyed and had retreated into
their bases and relocated their bases out.
“Well
shit...” Jake watched as he was left in the battlefield with his
base already destroyed by another MYRM fleet.
Jake
quickly warped out of the battlefield leaving peace behind for the
member of Star Alliance. Now he was a hunted man in the galaxies with
a large bounty on his head.

“Bow
down to me and I may have mercy on you.” Joel broadcasted as his
ships assaulted Tassos' fleet.
“You
are crazy.” Tassos laughed.
“You
are no match for my ships.” Joel watched as one by one MYRM ships
get destroyed by his massive fleet.
“You
are no match for our skills.” Dmitris flew above him Joel's ship
and dodged the weapons.
“I
am Lord Cyber Joel, the almighty. I shall deliver your fate today!”
Joel smashed his console as Dmitris did another bombing run aboard
his ship.
“You
are delusional Joel.” Tassos counted Joel's ships and waved at an
officer.
“Sir?”
the officer approached Tassos.
“Call
in strike package Alpha Romeo Tango.” Tassos ordered.
Joel
watched as Dimitris began to line up for another bombing run and
quickly moved his ship upwards. The quick upwards motion resulted in
Dimitris smashing his frigate into Joel's shields and breaking in
half.
“Dimitris!”
Tassos watched in horror as Dimitris' Nighthawk drifted dead into
space.
“He
has met his maker.” Joel laughed.
“You
will die now!” Tassos watched as the officer gave him the thumbs up
indicating the arrival of the strike.
Tassos
flew his ships in reverse and revealed a line of Trident destroyers
with their guns aimed at Joel's flagship.
“Oh
shit.” Joel watched as the destroyers fired their mass drivers.
Joel
quickly ordered his nearby ships to shield his ship as he retreated
to his base. The ships covered Joel's retreat were pierced with
massive holes and immediately lost their hull integrity. The ships
exploded and revealed no crew onboard.
“All
AI ships.” Tassos muttered to himself as he decided to change his
battle strategy.
Joel
landed his ship into his base while ten more Revelation cruisers flew
out to cover him.
“Focus
fire on Joel's command centre. We destroy it, all the AI ships will
go.” Tassos pointed at the Joel's base of operations.
The
destroyers turned to adjust their field of fire and unleashed a
rainstorm of projectiles towards the command centre. Joel was not a
simple man, he saw Tassos' strategy and immediately directed his
cruisers to form a barrier to tank the incoming long-range strike.
“We
got to take out the fleet bay so he can't launch any more ships.”
Tassos shouted.
“We
will do what we can.” Conrad replied as he watched another wave of
ships leave the bay and head to fortify the barrier.
“Keep
firing!” Tassos commanded the destroyers as he began to increase
forward thrusters to assist Conrad's fleet.

Natalia
flew her Rancor battleship fleet alongside Irene's Exodus cruisers.
Many other new recruits joined in the formation. Most had little to
none experience, but the duty called to them. With their medium
attack ships, it served as a distraction so that the experienced
pilots could move in and make the strike.
“Alright
folks. I'm not going to lie about this, but a lot of people are going
to die. My job is ensure you guys come home alive.” McClelland flew
his Revelation fleet in front of the rookies' formation.
“That
sounds great...” Irene replied sarcastically eyeing her ships and
the enemies.
“They
may have the tech and firepower, but we got the piloting skills.
Remember your training.” McClelland began to make the take charge.
“You
ready?” Natalia looked at Irene's ship.
“Yeah,
let's do it.” Irene pushed her thrusters forward following
McClelland's lead.
McClelland
lead the team towards a weaker side of the battle and immediately
started engaging the nearest enemy. The first wave of medium ships
that entered the battle and were immediately destroyed by the shower
of lasers, projectiles, and explosives.
“Keep
going forward!” McClelland turned his cruiser sideways to block the
incoming fire directed the the recruits.
“They
are too strong!” Natalia fired her broadside scatter missiles and
watched as the enemy shields absorb it all.
“Break
formation. Swarm them on all sides so they can't concentrate their
firepower.” McClelland watched as his ship sensors flashed
indicating the low shield strength on his ship.
The
cluster of NB ships broke apart and became a total mess in the space
making the enemy firing randomly into space as it attempted to find a
target lock.
“McClelland
here, we're swarming the space and the enemy is distracted. Go to
next operation.” McClelland broadcasted on the Star Alliance comms.
“Renegade
Gold Squad coming in hot.” an old man replied.
The
space behind McClelland began to warp as RNG cruisers warped into the
empty space. Twenty Revelation cruisers armed with thermal beams
began to fly past McClelland's fleet and started firing at the
distracted ships. The thermal beams fired in unison locking to one
specific ship at a time. With the combined firepower of the high
power thermal beam weaponry, the shields vaporized in an instant and
the hull took significant damages from the medium attack ships' mixed
weaponry.
“Oh
yeah!” Irene cheered as she laid waste to a shieldless cruiser
creating holes in its hull.
“Renegade
Gold Squad advancing to next mark.” the old man lead his squad
forward into a more intensified battlefield.
“Let's
swarm the next line.” McClelland commanded as he steered his
battle-charred ship in hot pursuit behind the RNG fleet.

“Fire
all weapons!” Tassos shouted as his Revelation cruisers were in
range of the GG's base.
The
base defences began firing its plasma guns, but were easily dodged
due to its wide spread. A fleet of Talon frigates took off from one
of the bases and began flying towards them to flank.
“Dimitris,
get you fleet and cover my basing fleet.” Tassos shouted as his
ships began laying waste to everything in its site.
Mining
modules exploded which subsequently resulted in a chain reaction of
explosions ripping through the first GG base. As Tassos' ships got
closer to the command centre of the base, the laser turrets began
charging up and firing steady streams of hard light.
“Rush
in and focus all firepower at the command centre!” Tassos watched
as his ship's shields absorbed the lasers.
One
of Tassos' cruiser flew too close to a laser turret and was quickly
taken out by the quick firing turret. The remaining ships blasted
their weapons on the command centre and lit it up with a mixture of
lasers and explosives. The centre exploded and wiped out everything
on that was connected to it.
“Good
job Tassos!” Dimitris congratulated as he was busy chasing down the
Talon frigates with his Nighthawk.
“Next
one.” Tassos pointed at a base adjacent to the destroyed base.
“That
one is the GG leader's base.” Dimitris replied.
“Even
better!” Tassos smiled as he pressed on forward.
Two
dozen Revelation cruisers lifted off the base and headed towards
Tassos' basing fleet. It was clearly no match with what Tassos had.
“Conrad,
I need help.” Tassos broadcasted.
“Breaking
off formation. I'm on my way!” Conrad replied back as a fleet of
Revelation cruisers flew up behind Tassos.
Conrad's
cruisers clashed with Joel's ships, but were no match for the skilled
MYRM pilot. Outnumbered and outgunned, Conrad was able to fight the
take on the fleet with a two to one ratio disadvantage purely based
on skill.
“We
got this Tassos. Go kill his base.” Conrad steered his ship
sideways to make way for Tassos' advance.
“Got
your six.” Dimitris reduced his ships speed and matched it with
Tassos' ships.
“More
enemy ships launching off the base!” an officer alerted Tassos as
his radar alerted him.
Another
two dozen Revelation cruisers lifted off from the base and advanced
towards him. Before Tassos could comment what to do, two dozen of
Fury battleships took off from the base and formed a defensive line.
“Holy
shit. How many ships does this guy have?” Tassos halted his advance
knowing that they were extremely outnumbered.
“Behold
Lord Cyber Joel!” Joel transmitted on the comms proudly.

Antonopoulos lead his Venom battleship battalion towards the front
lines where a spectacular battle was ongoing. The MYRM already had a
significant fleet on the outskirts pushing inwards towards the GG
bases.
“Alright,
rush into the battlefield and fire both broadside weapons!”
Antonopoulos commanded his crew.
“Sir,
since they are all automated and not manually piloted, it's going to
be cannon fodder quickly.” an officer expressed his concerns.
“That's
what it's used for. Battle of attrition with minimal human
casualties.” Antonopoulos watched as a fleet dispatched from his
battalion and rushed towards the GG cluster of ships.
The
lead Venom took a heavy beating as it charged forward. It was quickly
destroyed without even firing a single shot.
“Lead
battleship down!” the officer reported.
“Send
all automated units in simultaneously!” Antonopoulos ordered as
another ship of his died before firing.
“Rushing
all fleet!” the officer acknowledged and quickly typed the command
into his computer.
In
a matter of minutes, a huge portion of the battalion had split off
and headed towards the conflict and overwhelmed the GG's front line
defences. An array of projectiles spewed out from the broadside
weapons firing magnetized phased rounds. The shield-bypassing
projectiles make quick work on the nearby ships dealing devastating
rounds.
“It's
working!” the officer cheered as the first line was cleared.
“It
won't last long. The Venoms were intended to clear the first line so
the heavier ships can advance.” Antonopoulos watched as his
automated Venoms began to break apart one by one as the GG's
Revelation cruisers advanced.
“This
is Captain Antonopoulos, we need heavy ships to move forward on our
mark. Our fleets cleared the first line, now it's up to someone to
clear the next one.” Antonopoulos broadcasted on the Star Alliance
allied comm channel.
“Copy
Captain Antonopoulos, RNG Silver Squad enroute with Revelation
cruisers.” an man replied back.
“Captain
Wicker, read you loud and clear. On the way with Nighthawks.”
Wicker answered.
Antonopoulos watched as a fleet of Revelation cruisers flew over his
ship and headed towards his battered Venoms in the distance.
“I
can't believe it worked.” Wicker flew a squadron of Nighthawks
beside the RNG cruisers as he watched the automated Venom continue to
lay suppressive fire.
“Trust
me man.” Antonopoulos laughed as he watched the RNG cruisers clash
with the GG cruisers.
“Flanking!”
Wicker gracefully steered his frigate over the enemy ships and fired.

An
middle-aged man rubbed his brown stubble as he looked at the hologram
of Paul on his office table.
“Tassos
Anastasios. NB is under attack by the Galactic Gangsters. The time
has come for the Star Alliance Contingency Plan.” Paul addressed
the situation.
“We
will help NB anytime they require it. It is necessary for the
activation of this plan? We never actually tested it out.” Tassos
replied.
“We
have no choice. We are outnumbered and this was Charlie's plan in the
event of a massive enemy NB can not defeat alone.” Paul explained.
“Charlie,
how is he?” Tassos expressed his concerns.
“He
is still unconscious and I'm sure he needs your help.” Paul
answered.
“Okay.
The Myrmidons will come help NB. Charlie was there for me when I was
near death. I will pay it back personally.” Tassos nodded and shut
off the hologram and touched his chest as he reminded himself of his
near death experience.
Tassos
pressed a button on his table and a small buzzer sounded. A tall
dark-haired man with markings of a commodore appeared at his office
door.
“Dimitris,
get everyone and their combat fleets ready. We are going to war.”
Tassos walked to the back of the wall where a Greek Spartan helmet
was placed alongside his family photos.
“Everyone
Tassos?” Dimitris watched as Tassos picked up the helmet.
“Everyone.
We go help NB.” Tassos blew dust off the helmet and felt the
coldness of the metal.
“Ok,
I will get everyone.” Dimitris nodded and rushed off.
Tassos
looked at the dents and scratches on the helmet. It had been passed
onto him by his ancestors before him. Only in times of great battles,
Tassos had worn the helmet staying true to his heritage and
traditions. Now it seemed like the time has come yet again for him to
answer the call.
“Going
to war?” a female voice spoke behind him.
A
tall stunning blonde greeted Tassos with a smile as she placed her
hands around Tassos' waist.
“Stella...”
Tassos looked at his wife.
“I
know.” Stella looked at the helmet and then back at Tassos.
“Then
you know it's something important that I must do.” Tassos spoke
softly.
“I
know. Make us proud.” Stella kissed Tassos on the lips.
“Us?”
Tassos stared deeply into Stella's eyes.
“Us...”
Stella rubbed her belly.
“Oh
my goodness.” Tassos crouched down and placed his head against her
stomach.
“We
will be waiting for you.” Stella stroked Tassos' brown curly hair.
“We
will be back.” Tassos stood up and then placed the helmet onto his
head and briskly walked out.

The

“It's

speak breaking the silence.
“CMD

“Nah

spoke calmly.
“GG?
Who's GG?” Tarbuck was annoyed with the abbreviations.
“Galactic
Gangsters sir. We're screwed!” an officer in hologram replied.
“No
we're not. We've beat folks before and we will continue to do so.
Whoever GG is, they are going to taste our medicine.” Tarbuck
removed his datapad from his belt and linked it up with the table.
“Sir?”
Jaimes raised an eyebrow.
“We're
activating our NB Star Alliance Contingency Plan.” Tarbuck pressed
some buttons on the table.
“Star
Alliance Contingency Plan...what is that?” Papagiannis whispered to
Wicker.
“Something
that was written up by Charlie as an idea of unifying forces of like
minds in the event of a major battle.” Wicker whispered.
“Holy
shit. How come he never talked about it?” Papagiannis jaw dropped
as Tarbuck activated a hologram of listed allies in Star Alliance.
“Because
he's still in a coma? Shhh, let the man do his thing.” Antonopoulos
spoke to Papagiannis from behind urging him to keep his voice down.
“Our
nearest allies in this sector are EH, RNG, and MYRM. We'll contact
them first as they are our fastest responders.” Tarbuck scaled down
his list.
“Contacting
them now.” Paul volunteered as he headed to his computer.
“Gear
up and suit up everyone. Lockdown your bases and get every single
ship fired up. It's going to be epic battle.” Tarbuck clapped his
hands together as he disconnected his datapad from the table.
“I
guess it's time for me to test my newly refitted ships.”
Antonopoulos nudged Wicker and grinned mischievously.
“We'll
see. I'll be busy tallying my kill count than testing new ships.”
Wicker wicked and rushed off.
“Chris,
does that mean us too?” Irene walked up and looked at her brother.
“Yes
Irene. Northern Base is under attack. We must defend our home. Be
careful out there.” Papagiannis placed his hand on her shoulder.
“We

also talking to Kraweic.
“Let's

McClelland
patrolled his fleet on the outer sector of the Northern quadrant
monitoring fleet activities and ensuring peace is kept.
“Good

ships took off form his base and headed to the other planets.
“What's
cooking McClelland?” Watts warped into the space in front of him
ferrying resources.
“Not
much really interesting.” McClelland replied.
“Well,
you know what they say? No news is good news.” Watts laughed as his
ships flew out of view.
“Suppose
so. Have a nice one Watts.” McClelland chuckled and continued
monitoring fleet movement.
“Don't
miss me too much chap.” Watts joked.
McClelland
got off his command chair and pointed at a nearby officer to take his
duty.
“Understood
sir.” the officer nodded in acknowledgement.
McClelland
stretched his arms and went towards his quarters and brew himself
some coffee. He walked to his desk and grabbed his empty mug on the
table and headed to the coffee maker when suddenly the alarm sounded
throughout the ship.
“Unidentified
bases warping to planet 2105! Repeat, unidentified bases warping into
planet 2105!” the announcement sounded.
McClelland
turned his head to look out the window at the nearby planet when
dozens of big bases began warping into its orbit. After the bases
warped in, hundreds of ships flew out of their ships bays and began
firing at everything in space.
“Shit...”
McClelland dropped his mug to the shattering it to pieces as he
watched a barrage of missiles heading towards him.
McClelland
rushed out of his quarters and sprinted to the bridge. The officer in
command had already saw incoming missiles and immediately ascended
the ships upwards dodging the barrage.
“Sir,
we need to call for immediate backup!” the officer shouted as he
gave command of the ship to McClelland.
“Heavy
casualties on planet 2105. Hundred civilian casualties and still
rising.” an officer alerted as he looked at the devastation.
McClelland
piloted his ships away from 2105 and headed into the open space.
“Sir?
What are we doing?” an officer aboard another NB ship asked
McClelland.
“We
are clearly outnumbered ten to one. We need to retreat to HQ and save
all our ships. We'll take the longer way home.” McClelland
broadcasted to his ships in space.
“Copy

“Guess

leave me no choice.” Wicker aimed his weapons at a nearby Fury
battleship and fired.
Wicker's
pulse lasers smashed into the Fury's shields and get absorbed dealing
insignificant damage.
“I'll
be coming for you base next scrub.” Olsen turned directed all his
ships weapons on Wicker's ship and fire.
A
barrage of projectiles slowly flew towards Wicker, but was easily
dodged due to the slow rounds.
“You
are lucky these are basing fleets. Now I come for your base.” Olsen
turned his ships around and began heading home.
“No
you are not.” Jaimes spoke up in the comms as he fired his weapons
at Olsen's ship.
“My
ships are designed to take a beating from fire. Have at it.” Olsen
laughed as Jaimes weapons barely lowered his shield strength.
Wicker
noticed in the distant that there were three Revelation cruisers
spectating in the distance. As Olsen continued to make his way back,
the ships became more visible and the markings of the ship painted
“NB”.
“Commander
Stanley Olsen. You are hereby kicked out of the NB group for
violations of the NB rules.” Paul broadcasted.
“You
can't kick me. It's not your call.” Olsen replied as he passed the
cruisers.
“You're
right. But attempting to kill Captain Wicker is inexcusable and
subject to immediate expulsion. You are lucky we are not killing you
on the spot.” Paul pointed out and directed his weapons at Olsen's
main ship.
“Screw
that shit. I'm done. I'm leaving anyways.” Olsen shook his head in
disbelief.
“Yeah,
you better not hit my base...or I will act what I must to defend
myself.” Wicker interrupted.
“Do
what the man says. We give you the chance to leave quietly.” Paul
ordered.
“Whatever...you
are all wasting my time here. See you later suckers.” Olsen changed
his ships' course and set the course for home.
