I don't think I'm a good enough writer at the moment I mean people wouldn't even likely read a book that I wrote since I'm a no name author
But I will look at that site for the future, thanks Gandalf.
As for the next chapter (unfortunately not much has happened except for what I posted and that all happened so fast that there is not much story element to it)
2409.3
Captain Ross paced his deck anxiously after the Admiralty had sent word via messenger that he was going to lose command of his current starship and thus the entire squadron and report to
HMS Saber as she returned to Icara once the two light cruisers arrived. Ross Began to wonder if getting half his squadron crippled had put him dirt side, but all he could do now was wait for the two light cruisers and return home as ordered, the fact they were recalling
Saber too hit him like a weight.
Icaran Spaceyard
The massive length of
HMS Reliance was elegant yet deadly, her sleek gray hull with it’s gleaning white and blue prow dwarfed every other ship in the Icaran navy, she carried 6 phased poloron cannons two shield generators and a crew of 2,000 officers and Ratings plus 100 marines.
Reliance and
Defiant were the first two cruisers to launch from Icara and Brandenburg but they would not be the Last plans were already underway to begin full fledged production and with these powerful new cruisers coming on-line Icara’s fighting strength would more then double.
In the meantime however
Reliance silently slipped out of her port under the command of Captain Allison Hanks for her shakedown cruise and firing range tests.
Gaia System
Captain Ali Mahamed Ben Salim sipped at his tea quietly reading the reports of his “cargo's” well being, when he first joined the Icaran colonial service Captain Salim was looking forward to seeing new worlds, conquering space through force of wits and instead of force of arms like those in the navy. What he hadn’t expected was so much paperwork on a one way trip, but the colonial governor had complaints about his quarters and thousands of civilians were claiming other unimportant things that he still had to look over.
Well at least they were at the warp point, he thought and then only another week before they reached their destination, Salim decided that getting a few hours sleep for a change would be a good idea and he tossed the Last signed flexy pad aside and went to bed.
Alarms howling and the sound of civilians screaming or arguing woke Salem up in the middle of the night, he lay in place frozen for a moment as his mind raced down all the possible causes for the noise and as he reached the most logical conclusion he darted out of bed and donned his gray colonial service uniform before racing out the door.
“What’s going on up here mister Jackel?” Salem asked anxiously as he reached the ark ship’s bridge.
“Sir there is a light cruiser out there, they are closing fast….wait…..they’re hailing sir.” Jackel said nerviously as he routed the message to the Captain’s command station as well as his own.
”This is the Sol Coalition warship Yellowstone you are to surrender yourselves immediately and lead us to your government, you are renegades as far as we are concerned and thus if you do not surrender we will open fire on you. the voice sounded quite sincere but Salim just couldn’t believe it, Sol after all these centuries now Earth came looking for them?
‘What does he mean renegades?!” Jackel’s voice was angry but more frightened then angry as he realized their ship did not stand a chance against a warship, and they were already to close to the gravity field of the warp point to escape.
“It doesn’t matter mister Jackel, we can not lead them home and we can’t escape.” Salim sat silently for a moment, trying to decide whether he should bother to warn the civilians, at the Last minute he decided against it, let them live their Last few minutes in peaceful ignorance of what fate had dished out to them.
After a moment Salim bowed his head and began to pray for himself, and his family who were still back on Icara, his right hand slipped to the control panel and the alarms stopped howling.
The Sol cruiser hailed again but the Icaran ark ship did not surrender and so they carried out their threat, they had a single powerful Depleted Uranium cannon and it’s first shot killed millions of civilians as it blew out entire unarmored sections of hull, the engines were next and still it continued to fire without mercy.
Seconds later the colony ship and 120 million Icarans were gone and all that was in their place was a cloud of debris.
2409.5
HMS Victory had been detached from her patrol in Gaia to destroy a Rebel base that NavInt had located and captain Park wasted no time, he located the base and immediately closed range with the colony, a single volley of cannon and missile was all it took to exterminate the base.
Park’s return trip was not a joyous one however for he remembered young Miss Adair who had been offloaded at Haron for physical therapy and further question, and remembered that though these Rebel Alliance people had started the war they were still Human and many of them were not unlike Icarans, and he had sent over 50 million of them to their deaths, the thought made him slightly ill in his stomach as he continued to read the after action reports.
A mystery awaited them at the warp point as well as they scanned a massive debris field that had not been there on their journey out-system, Park made a mental note to inform the Admiralty and find out just what had happened, little did they know they had scanned the wreckage of what had once been an Icaran ark ship.
Re: A new Game story (From the begining)
thanks, and yes I have thought of writing a book which is actually why I'm writing these stories.
