Thus was the fate of the Liberty Fleets stationed around New Tokyo. the substandard ships while fighting valiantly were simply no match for the raw firepower of their kyotian counterparts. But of course Admiral Hernandez, callsign "Blunted" realised that he had merely brought knives to a gunfight. Nevermind the fact that there was a suicidal Kyotian commandant who seems to have a fetish for trancending the physical for now his carrier is barreling towrd the Tokyoian Flagship, Glory Device ready. He did the one thing he had to. Codename "Banhammer"
An erie silence fell over the gravity well. No targeting computers responded to imput commands, ships moved only with the momentum they had previously built up. Even the hand to hand fighting going on had stopped. Of course the Tokyoians were prepared for this, as well as the Liberty ships. By using the interconneting pathways between the Kyotian Comm Network, they had rendered the entire fleet little more than cannon fodder. There was something wrong still...
Sir, that carrier is still on a collision course. Estimated time until impact.....35 seconds. There was no time to lose. No other ships was capable of altering the course of the runaway kamikazi, so the liberty crew did their best to evacuate the ship. Quasi teleportation thundering away, they managed a slow and steady stream of crewmates from the seemingly doomed flagship.
T minus 10 seconds......
The moved his ship closer to try to claim as many has he could. He ordered his ships to open fire, but the futility of this gesture only caused more panic. He quickly retargeted the weapons emplacements vainly picking off chunks of the enemy carrier. It continued.
T minus 5 seconds....
He ordered his ship to intercept the carrier, but it was too far for much help. The Artemis tried to move out of the way, but the carrier was too close. He ordered that the Keeper be brought immeadiately aborad, although even this was uncertain. All he could do was watch in agony at the timer...
4......3........2........1....
The Flash was immense. The sheer force of the explosion overwhelmed the inertial dampeners aboard the ship. Although most of the blast was directed out toward space, it was still appearent that the enemy kamikazi run had indeed hit its mark. The port side of the Artemis had been sheared off from the collision alone. With the detonation of the GD, it had all but blew the Tokyoian flagship in half with one section falling toward the planet below and the other in a listless orbit. There were no recorded lifesigns on either.
Admiral, I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that the Keeper was transferred aboared in time and the Kyotians are falling back. The bad news is that the Keeper is in medbay 2, suffering from 4th degree plasma burns, the kyotians are regrouping, and I was only able to save 43 of the people aboard the Artemis.
