[QUOTE="Tun Kai Poh, post: 8430132, member: 6761960"] [SIZE=5][B]Nadir[/B][/SIZE] Six days later. Operation WINGSPAN CORRAL. Ten ships of the line cruise the black sky in a staggered formation, guarding the Long Rim nadir route. On the UNS-BB Six Grandfathers, Commander Louis Smalls reviews the latest sensor contact, a Smith-Shimano light freighter carrying luxury genetics bound for DLS9 San Simeon, accompanied by a Trunk Security parasite corvette. It's the only armed vessel they've detected on the nadir route so far. "I'm certain that Fleet Commander Meng will have none of this nonsense," says Louis to his NHP executive officer, Fairchild. "They'll have to turn back. Unless they're bringing relief supplies and medical aid, they're not getting through." "It's hardly the Armory fleet we expected, though," replies the NHP. "Either they're late, or the intel was incorrect." "Well, where could an entire Armory reinforcement fleet have gone? Maybe they crossed to the apex route? Hooked up with the Rex?" "In that event, we do have a scratch group outside Lighthouse Station. Richard Wagner, Nikolai Bukharin and their escorts. And some Mirrorsmoke mercenaries." "Richard Wagner?" Louis laughs. "My classmate from the academy is in command. Caspian Var, the deuce!" "Didn't he file a complaint against you in the academy?" "Accused me of plagiarizing his report! Entirely a misunderstanding." Louis physically gestures as though brushing some lint from his uniform. "I have doubts about his good judgement." "Captain Var has a solid record to date. Vice Admiral Gentle decorated him with the Meritorious Service Bar for his engagement with Karrakin ships." "Hmmmph. Well, if our intel is wrong, and the Armory fleet is headed his way, he'll have more than enough chances to earn more medals." [B][SIZE=5]Apex[/SIZE][/B] [SIZE=4]Operation SWIFT AMITY, Long Rim apex route. The fleet's extreme-range sensors pick up multiple nearlight contacts, and after initial analysis, Vera and Bernd deliver the news: an estimated 6 ships of the line, plus escorts, headed this way. Intel was wrong. The Armory reinforcement fleet is coming. Now.[/SIZE] Tabitha and Caspian receive news of the unwelcome arrivals dispassionately on the fleet conference. "Vera, please display the fleet composition readouts for everyone," Tabitha says. "We need to know exactly what we're up against." [/QUOTE]
