Wing Commander

[Angelus]

As the large white star shone down on the planet of Likondis two Arrow fighters flew towards their destination, the station Altis when suddenly there was a large flash of light and a loud explosion which destroyed half of the station. The source of the destruction, a Kilrathi cruiser appeared and began opening fire on the station with several of its Dralthi fighters destroying the shuttles that were trying to leave the station.
The pilot of one of the Arrows, Colonel Christopher Blair looked at the destruction and knew that there was something that needed to be done. He was about to bring up his wingman one the comm channel but before he could he saw the other Arrow flying past him towards the cruiser and fighters.
"Maniac, you can't go after a cruiser and Dralthi's by yourself in an Arrow. That is totally crazy."
"Why do you think that they call me Maniac good buddy. Now, you just sit back and watch me bag some furballs."
Christopher smiled when he heard Maniac say that before he followed him towards the cruiser and fighters.
Before they could get close to the cruiser and Dralthi the cruiser began opening fire on them, rocking them. The Dralthi then turned and flew towards the two Arrows, seeing them as a larger threat and opened fire, the laser blasts slamming into the shields of the Arrows. Chris switched his weapons to missiles and said, "Eat this furball." before he pushed the button on the control stick.
The missile slammed into one of the Dralthi before it could bank and totally destroyed it. He then switched to his lasers and began flying closely after one of the other Dralthi, firing laser shots into its rear shield, causing it to flash a brilliant blue.
Suddenly he heard Maniac's voice over his headphones say, "That's another two for the Maniac, I am just too good for these cats."
Chris began to get closer to the Dralthi that he was following, watching as its shields went slowly down to nothing then switched to full guns and fired, sending the bolts of energy slamming into the rear of the fighter which destroyed its engines, causing the ship to fall away from the fight.
Blair looked at his scope and saw that two fighters were behind him lining up for a shot. As he banked his fighter away from the two Dralthi and increased his speed he said, "What is your situation Maniac?"
"I'm in a little bit of trouble here. I decided to go for the cruiser and it is firing nearly everything it has at me. I could use a little bit of help."
"I would love to help good buddy but I'm in a little spot of trouble myself."
Just then a voice came over the comm system, "Need a little help Maniac, maybe I could lend a hand?"
It was then that both pilots saw the Longbow as it flew towards the direction of the cruiser.

A voice comes over the com


this....redman....under heavy fire....assistance

 

[Angelus]

"Redman, this is Blair. Will be right with you as soon as we can. We are having a little trouble of our own at the moment."
Just then the cruiser began to fire nearly every gun that was on its port side towards the two fighters and torpedo bomber. Blair looked straight at the cruiser and said, "Let's show those furballs that firing on us is a huge mistake."
"You just took the words right out of my mouth," Maniac said.

 

[sex-maniac69]

Redman:

I manuvered through a mess of ships to see if I could lend a hand"Yehawwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!," I yell into the intercom and begin using the last of my fire power to help out

 

[Stranger]

Hit and run

A new voice crackles over the intercom "this is Scythe, you are too close break and come round again, I'll run an intercept and take the guns for you, take the engines then reactor" A lone fighter swoops down guns blazing a corucant of psycadelic flame that spatters on the shields of the cruiser opening great rents in them and striking through at the weapons pods.

 

[Angelus]

As Maniac flew his Arrow in towards the cruiser he watched the new fighter and said, "Crazy kid, he is going to get himself killed soon and take someone with him."
That received a stifled laugh from Blair which was heard clearly over the comm seconds before the Longbow fired its torpedoes towards the cruiser.

 

[Stranger]

"hye watta you know, I'm still alive" laughs merrily, "maybe I'm not that crazy" throws his fighter into a tight victory roll

 

[Angelus]

Seconds after the fighter pulled away from the cruiser in a victory roll it exploded, sending the rear of the ship into deep space. Suddenly there was a flash of light behind them and Blair looked, thinking that it was another Kilrathi ship coming to attack them but was relieved when he saw the TCS Victory appear from the jump flash, followed closely by her escorts.
"I reckon that the two of you should come on board. You have had enough fun as it is," the voice of the captain of the carrier said as it came over the comm system.

 

[Stranger]

"roger that Colonel, I'm heading in," the fighter turns and heads towards the cruiser. A small stream of fuel flowing out behind it from a fuel tank punctured by Kilrathi shrapnel and turning into a frozen tail. Lines up on his approach vector and throtles back to land on the runway. His landing gear touches down with a shreik unheard through the void and slides into the hangar bay.

 

[Angelus]

Blair landed his Arrow into the hangar bay of the Victory and took it over to its assigned spot. As soon as he had shut down the engines of the small fighter he climbed down the ladder and strode over to where Scythe's fighter sat. As soon as the pilot had both his feet on the ground Blair walked up to him, looked his straight in the face and said, "What the hell do you think you were doing pulling a crazy stunt like that. You could have gotten you're fool self killed; you are one of the best pilots on this carrier-"
"Why thank you for noticing Colonel-"
"Shut up and let me finish. You are one of the best pilots on this carrier but the way that you fly is going to get you killed one of these days and you are probably going to take someone with you."
Before Scythe could say anything Blair turned and walked towards the stairs that led up to the flight center. Before he could reach the stairs though he was stopped by two people, Maniac and Flint.
"A little harsh, weren't you buddy. You never chewed me out like that."
"I never got the chance. But I don't want to see that pilot smash himself into a carrier or dreadnaught or tackle impossible odds and getting himself killed- I have seen enough of that in this war."
Flint just looked at Blair and said, "But there is no reason that you have to take it out on Scythe. Okay, he may be a little cocky and headstrong but he has saved us all on a number of occassions, you should have realized that before you chewed him out."

Flint then turned and walked away before Blair could answer who just looked at Maniac.
"Don't ask me buddy. I can't understand them either," he said before he walked towards the stairs.

 

[Stranger]

deathwish

Smile sadly to himself and gives a sad chuckle, "yeah but you've got something to live for" he whispers to himself. Outside the cockpit scythe is a small shy man, very nervous and jittery, Blair's words have nearly reduced him to tears. He has light brown eyes and a mop of unruly mud brown hair.

 

[Angelus]

As soon as Blair entered the flight control area he instantly regreted his words and wished that he had taken them back. He went to the elevator and walked straight into Rachael who smiled straight at him.
"I hope that you have dented any of my fighters Colonel."
"Nothing that can't be fixed by you Rachael. You are the greatest techie in the fleet," Blair said with a sly smile, trying to get into her good books any way that he could.
Rachael just let out an exasperated sigh and looked at Blair but said nothing. She just walked out of the elevator as soon as the door opened and straight up to the bar as Blair walked to the locker rooms, trying to grasp what was wrong with Rachael.

 

[Angelus]

As soon as Blair walked into the locker rooms he saw Vagabond sitting on his bunk shuffling his cards. Vagabond looked up at Blair and said, "Well hello there Colonel. I heard that you had a run in with a nice little cruiser. Would you like to play a game to get your mind off it?"
"No thanks Vagabond. I think that a nice shower will do that for me and I already owe you a weeks pay."
Vagabond laughed at that as Blair grabbed a towel and walked towards the showers.

 

[Angelus]

As soon as he entered the showers area he heard one of the showers going and called out, "Hey Maniac, you don't want to look like a prune do you."
"Maniac might but I certainly don't Colonel. I haven't been in here that long anyway."
Blair almost dropped his towel when he recognized the voice. It was Flint.

He began cursing to himself for sounding like a fool as he walked into the shower and turned it on, standing under the water and allowing it to ease away his tension.

 

[Angelus]

Blair washed himself quickly so that he could get out of the shower area before Flint got out but when he exited he knew that his luck wasn't holding when he saw Flint standing there, a towel wrapped around her body.
"Colonel, I want to discuss what you said to Scythe. It was uncalled for," Flint said.
"I know," Blair said as he tried to keep his eyes on Flint's face. "That is why as soon as I have rested up I am going to find him and say sorry."

 

[Morgoth]

OOC: New character, hope you don't mind. Name of Colonel(yup, another one) Dima Zelin(in the future, he is the Rear Admiral. You know what I am talking about ). Titled the Destroyer. He never backs off and he always gets his kill.
Colonel Zelin walked into the shower and saw blair and Flint talking, with Flint half naked. "Well, hello, soldiers. I saw Scythe a few minutes ago. Looks like somebody ripped off his nuts. And I was wondering if somebody could fill me in on that", he said.

 

[Angelus]

Blair turned to Colonel Zelin, "I ripped his nuts off so to speak. He pulled a dangerous stunt and almost got himself killed so I told him that he was never to do it again. He is a great pilot but like someone else that I know he needs a little discipline."

 

[Morgoth]

"Aw, come on, Blair. He's a newbie. We were all like him once. Some of us still are. Loosen up a bit. And My squadron is being merged with yours as of 2100 hours. We're to be joint commanders", said Dima.

 

[Angelus]

"What brought that on? Have the Kilrathi been hitting us harder than the news reports have been telling us?" Blair said as he put a robe on to cover himself up.

OOC: I think that we need a person to play Flint because I am sure as hell not going to play her, I have my hands full with Blair and Maniac as it is.

 

[Stranger]

Scythe

Scythe mopes away towards his room, to sit and sigh and perhaps read some depressing poetry. God he thought I am pathetic!

 

[Morgoth]

"Actually they have. They are sending a full armada to Earth and have wiped out 10 battleships, 50 cruisers, and they even took down 5 carriers", said Dima.

 

[Angelus]

Blair's eyes widened when he heard the news, "Why wasn't I told of this- when did this happen. I bet that it is because of Admiral Tolwyn, he has always had it in for me."

"He has not had it in for you, we only heard about it when you were out trying to save the station," Flint said. "Now if you wouldn't mind getting your foot out of your mouth and moving I would like to get dressed."

 

[Morgoth]

"Actually it was, he ordered me not to tell you", said Dima. Suddenly, a siren blared. "Kilrathi, 200 fighters and 5 capital ships", said Dima, running toward the hangar bay.

 

[Stranger]

Scythe pulled himself from his bunk where he had been crying and ran towards the hangar bay. He threw himself into his Arrow cockpit and began the pre-flight checks. He sighed in happiness, here at least he was something more than a pathetic geek.

OOC: The numbes you are using are out of all proportion, could we tone them down for realism?

 

[Morgoth]

OOC: Kilrathi's armada vangaurd. If we wanted realism, we'd have to tone up.

IC: Dima looked at his custom Arrow. "Okay, death-dealers(squad name), saddle up and get ready to roast some furballs", he shouted as he hopped in and did all pre-flight checks. He watched Blair's squad appear a moment later and jump into their Arrows. "Okay boys, time to rock!" he shouted as he went into full acceleration and did a roll out. He toasted two Kilrathi instantly, using his wonderful "cocktails".
