"Front line assault"
The GCS Plan to start attacking deeper into USO territory however, the USO has detected a large grouping of ships near the Pallvox systems, since it would take months to redeploy all ships the GCS plans a full force assault
Date: Oct, 5, 2332
Interstellar Space, near Beta Pallvox
GCS Strike fleet
A group of GCS Admirals are meeting with each other...
Greep: The USO has multiple planets they are terraforming in the Pallvox systems, however 2 of them have caught my attention, Guidance, open file Assaultplan.3dl
Guidance (AI): Opening...
A 3D halogram of the Beta Pallvox system renders in the center of the table, Multiple red/blue dots appear
Guidance: According to recon forces, 2 planets Capable of sustaining life have been sighted, however the planets appear to be sufficiently lacking in biomass, suggesting they were terraformed by the USO, such planets could make a excellent location for forward base,
A cluster of red dots appear around the planets
Guidance: It would appear that the enemy already has several ships in orbit around the planets, the ship's class is currently unidentified
Admiral Woolf: How are we going to set an outpost with enemy ships above us?
Admiral Daze: Simple, We eliminate them
Admiral Woolf: How as soon as we move in there we'll be in range of their shot range scanners, sure I will take around 20 to 30 minutes before they detect us, but in war every minute counts!
Guidance: Vola suggested that we draw out the enemy ships to the Pallvox debris field, the Pallvox Debris field is battle remnant of over 150,000 ships of varying sizes, any useful technology has been stripped from the vessel millennia ago, the age of the oldest...
Vola interrupts
Vola: I asked you to share my plan, not for A HISTORY LESSON!
Guidance: Understood, However I ask that you speak calmly to me so I can understand you better. Continuing where I left off, Vola wants to use the abandon vessels as cover for the assault force as a full assault would be foolish
Admiral Daze: I understand what you are trying to go for here Vola, but large ships and debris fields do NOT mix well, anything larger than a Heavy Gunship will be torn apart very quickly
Admiral Woolf: What if we were to lure the enemy into the Debris field?
Greep: the reason I think we should go with Vola's plan is no matter what we do we still have to push through the debris field
Admiral Iskyee (is-sc-key): Arugh! this is pointless! every second we wait the USO gathers more ships! If we attack now we can take them by surprise!
Woolf: Iskyee, I understand we have the advantage but if we attack now, sure we may win, but the amount of ships we would end up losing would be a complete tactical loss!
Daze: I say we wait... Guidance begin reassigning all gunship class vessels into a new assault fleet.
Greep: Agreed... Everyone is dismissed
2 days after the initial meeting
USO Coms: This is the recon vessel Nederland we've detected Movement within the Pallox Debris field, we are going to go check it out
USO coms: Afirmative, we recomend taking Scout picket 3A in case of enemy presence
...
USO coms: Recon Vessel Nederland are you there?
...
USO coms: No response, I'm engaging protocol 15A6, everyone report to your battle stations, All ships move in to attack
Onboard the GCS gunship Csillag (That's Hungarian btw)
Captain Merlo: Admrial Vola, Short rang scans suggest that the USO fleet is moving in to attack, We still have around 5 hours before the bulk of the GCS fleet can navigate though the debris field
Vola: Move to the debris field, keep us steady
Merlo: Keep your eyes open navigator, Radar can't pick up everything in this mess
Navigator: Aye.
Collision alarms begin to sound in the bridge
Computer: Attention an Object is on a collision course
Merlo: Silence the alarm... Hows the radar looking?
Crew: Based on current velocity we will be within the USO's attack range in 13 minutes... wait no that can't be right. WE'VE GOT FIGHTERS INBOUND!
The Gunship is suddenly shaken by an explosion
Crew: SOMETHING JUST CLIPPED THE ENGINES, WE'VE BEEN IMMOBILIZED!
Merlo: Point defense cannons?
Crew: PDC's are at maximum capacity sir
The gunship shakes again and a fighter flies past the bridge and falls apart
Merlo: Jesus Christ, computer how much battle time do we have?
Computer: Estimating... current tonnage should last 4 hours
the sight is something to behold, the debris field is being lit up by explosions and different types of rounds, Despite the chaos occurring the space around the battlefield remains totally silent, this goes on for hours, and the amount of debris is only being added to
GCS Coms: this is the GCS heavy cruiser Paladin reporting in
USO coms: GCS cruiser spotted, Concentrate your fire!
GCS Coms: This is light Gunship Clear skies, we need to pull out! we need to pull *Static*
Vola: Scan for an opening, find a way through this front line
Merlo: You must be joking, a ship of this size would be obliterated trying to break through the front line
Vola: All of the larger enemy ships are focused on fighting our larger ships, It's highly unlikely that we would even be spotted
Merlo: I'm not one to back down, open coms
Crew: coms open
Merlo: Light gunships Atlas, and Juniper requesting support
The Csillag, Atlas and Juniper break through the frontline and make their way towards Beta Pallvox II, the planet itself is remarkably un-remarkable, the planet is mostly blue and grey, with tiny patches of green where plants have only just begun to spread
Crew: Fighter squadren coming from behind the planet, approaching fast
Merlo: Ready the point defense cannons! Atlas, Juniper, prepare to fire!
Crew: Too late, they're here!
A volly of rockets is released at the Ships and all 3 are rocked by explosions, the Atlas is blown into pieces, the Juniper suffers a large hull breach and losses control, the Csillag with it's tougher armor holds together
The Brigde of the Csillag suffers multiple failures, most of the lights shatter, the navigation panel explodes and kills the navigator by decapitation
Merlo: Ugh... Medical team to bridge... Engineering... D-Damage report...
Vola dusts himself off and stands up
Vola: Well... that hurt
Enigneering: We've been hit pretty bad, we should be able to recover though
Merlo activates the emegency lights and the bridge is lit by a red dim glow
Computer: Attention! Power fulxation de...
The lights flicker
Vola: Oh wonderfull
Crew: OH GOD, OH GOD I DON'T WANT TO DIE LIKE THIS
Merlo turns on a monitor and looks at the text on the screen
Vola: If you're trying to figure out what's wrong hurry it up, those fighters are looping back around.
Merlo: Thanks for your confidence
Vola: Fine... I'll handle this...
Vola leaves the bridge
Merlo looks through the system diagnostics
Merlo: Hydrogen tanks and batteries are leaking... no... empty...
E.F.S.(Emergency Fail-safe System): Attention Engines offline, cannot maintain orbit
Vola arrives at one of the guns and opens a panel a lever is behind it he flicks it down and the area to access the gun opens up, Vola grabs a control stick and holds the trigger, the fighters break off and stop going off the ship
The Gunship enters the atmosphere, the entire ship begins to rumble, vola runs to the bridge
Vola: Everyone in a chair and buckle up
as soon as Vola buckles in the ship shakes like it's been hit by magnitude 12 earthquake the Cupola shatters, and air rushes out but a few seconds later it rushes back in as the vessel plunges into the atmosphere , the turbines in plasma coolers speed up to unsafe levels and explode further damaging the vessel, the vessel crashes into water and skids into a beach
Vola: Anyone else with me?
No response...
Vola: Looks like they didn't survive the impact... Unfortunate.
Vola Looks down at captain Merlo, Merlo's eyes are fixed forward in a permanent gaze his face straight as ever, Vola grabs the captains Emblem on Merlo's uniform and pulls it off and recovers the Data-tag
Vola: Now that I'm here I have to find a LZ on my own
Vola forces the armory door open and heads toward a rifle still in its holster, with a tug he pulls it off, He grabs rifle ammo of various types. Vola makes his way back to the bridge and checks the com's frequencies, After a bit of searching Vola finds a Broadcast on the high band, With a bit more adjustment the message is clear
Coms: This is the C.S.V Juniper. We've regained control of our vessel but Our heavy damage has forced us to land. Currently We are under attack by USO forces... Hello? Atlas, Csillag, Please respond! I'm going to set up a distress beacon, We are unsure how long we are going to be able to hold them off
Vola looks up and sees multiple USO drop ships heading towards the source of the signal
Vola sighs
Vola: Looks like I'll have to teach some idiots what happens when you mess with my men
Meanwhile in orbit
Greep: The USO is doing a horrendous job defending
Captain Eirk: Bring us to a halt
Greep: What? why? We're winning!
Eirk: The USO is planning something they don't just fall back like that for no reason, I've seen it before. They're up to something sneaky... Admiral I request that we hold the line here
Greep: Fine. Request Approved
Crew: Frigates inbound!
Eirk: Maintain orbit, let them come to us
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Attack on the new front line continues, and the USO regroups to begin a counteroffensive but this time with help from a formitable force, what is their plan?

Ep.11
"Release the BattleCarriers "
A week after the creation of the Pallvox front, BattleCarriers, D.S.F. Endeavor, D.S.F. Yellowstone, and D.S.F. Alpine. Have been deployed to break the front, H.A.F Anchor watt is still not battle ready
Date: Nov, 7, 2332
Sol System, Venusarian orbit
Anvil Station
USO Officer: We apologize for the quick end to your training but the president has issued a "All hands on deck" approach to the current war and that means even trainees like you are going to have to be put on the front
Coms: Attention Shuttle craft 7 this is HCSC for D.S.F. endeavor, you are clear to dock at pad 15
Pilot: Roger that, entering launch tunnel now
Javaleo Studies the helmet he was given at the armory
The shuttle craft lands and outside the shuttle craft hanger-bay is bustling with activity, workers are moving karts of large Caliber ammunition, fighters are being loaded into landing pads
Speaker: Attention, Please Clear pads 12 through 18, shuttle craft inbound
Ship Officer: Thank you for your assistance Officer but you are not required beyond this point
USO Officer: Understood Good luck out there
Ship Officer: If I call your name you are to report to your assigned position immediately, Names, Andrew, Chuckles, Denray, Forest, Maron, Stallfan, Telfry, Umbron, Zeu, Report to A deck sector 3, Alex, Belfring, Bacco, Carson, Easik, Parsly, Quarret Report to C deck sector B
On the bridge
Capt. Xander: Kilobyte Report
Kilobyte: Well I've just been Organizing the ships data files. Whoever set up the database needs to see a therapist, I've cleared up at least 15 Petabytes on the vessels storage alone
Capt. Xander: Kilobyte, update from command you are now to serve as a ship-born AI aboard D.S.F endeavor
Kilobyte: How nice... I'm just updating the vessels Software while I can, Some of this stuff is really outdated. did you know that the targeting software for our guns is from 2212? it's no wonder we can't hit anything.
Capt. Xander: Mhm... Just keep doing what your doing
Xander Opens a com channel
Xander: We're currently missing a good number of fighter pilots so volunteers step up! as an update we will be heading out within the next 3 to 4 hours, final preparations have begun
Aireon: I'm here, By the time I'm done the GCS won't know what hit them
Xander sighs
Javaleo Makes his way through the twisting hulls of the vessel, Engineers are seen performing inspections on wiring behind panels, after what felt like a eternity walking Javaleo makes it to his destination... The medical bay.
Coms: Attention all crew, We are preparing to jump...
D.S.F. Alpine is the first to jump followed by Endeavor, and then Yellowstone
around a week later.
Coms: All crew report to battle stations, Pilots to your fighters
Javaleo is working with a medic to carry an unconscious person
Javaleo: Korso! why do people keep passing out?
Medic: Some people just snap under the pressure, but enough from me, as a combat medic you better get to your post
Javaleo: Yeah
As the battle carriers exit slip speed they are imminently under attack, A high explosive rocket explodes on Endeavor's Bow, another rocket pierces through one of the closed jump tunnels on the Yellowstone,
Xander: Were we hit?
Status Monitor: Affirmative, but the damage is nothing severe.
Xander: Reports on Yellowstone?
Coms Operator: They took a rocket down one of their jump tunnels, damage is bad but they are still functional
Status Monitor: Another missile just hit us, This time on the stern, Thruster 4 is overheating. I'll tell engineering to shut it down
Xander: Navigator Position us horizontally with the enemy, I want them hitting us where the bulk of our armor is
Navigator: Roger that
Xander: Tell onboard gunships they are clear for launch, Now where is Alpine? they should be coming in from CC orbit.
Hanger Command: Gunships. Alpha, Beta, Crimson, and Epsilon, You are clear for launch
Javaleo Makes his way into a griffin drop-ship...
Pilot: prepare yourself we're going to see what happened to D.S.F Alpine
The Transport craft lifts off for the Alpine
Deloxo: First time javaleo?
Javaleo: Somewhat
Deloxo: Don't worry, worrying leads to panic
As the craft gets closer to the alpine a mess of different attack craft are engaging the Alpine
Pilot: I've got fighters inbound
Allied fighter pilot: We'll cover you. This is gonna be a bit messy
The transport craft accelerates and they are spotted by the GCS vessels who open fire with their point defense cannons
A fighter covering the transport craft is blown to pieces by a shell another shell hits the transport craft and the whole thing rumbles and shakes some of the lights shatter
Pilot: Attention Alpine open jump tunnel B16 we're coming in hot! everyone hold on to their helmets!
the craft enters the jump tunnel and clips against the walls and crashes into the hanger bay, a firefight is taking place in the hanger GCS troopers are attempting to shut down the hanger and are meeting heavy resistance from USO forces
Officer: No time to sit around let's move
Javaleo Unbuckles and grabs a plasma rifle fixed on the wall next to him, Behind him Deloxo grabs an assault rifle, the transport craft's door is kicked open and the soldiers inside open fire on incoming GCS troopers. The GCS troopers fall back for now, the hanger bay is heavily damaged, the deck is lit by dim red lights as well as the flicking flames of fires which are being extinguished by crew
Officer: Currently the GCS are trying to tear the ship inside out, aseptically in engineering. Carson, Micky, Darrik, Valley, and Valogo. go assist anyone you kind find, Deloxo, it's likely that they are damaged I hope you're ready for some repair work, alright let's move
Suddenly a massive explosion rocks the Alpine
Officer: WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!?
Crewmember: an explosion just occured in engineering!
Officer: Engineering squadron double time it!
Meanwhile Aireon Flies a dragon fighter into the upper left starboard hanger through a jump tunnel
Ship officer: Welcome aboard Officer Mccoy, Things aren't going well, the starboard hangers are being beat to hell, And I belive we have one of those mongrels onboard
Aireon: Thanks ma'am, that's why I'm here. where were they last seen?
Officer: Engineering
Aireon Grabs a rifle from his fighter and asks two soldiers to follow him
as Aireon runs down the hull he comes to engineering but the door is sealed
Aireon: GREAT! the control panels have been damaged!
Soldier: Stand aside
the soldier takes his sidearm and bashes the control panel into, the door suddenly sides open, a rush of burning hot air rushes through the door
Aireon: Huh... not bad...
Soldier: I was always told I was a wizz with electronics, but we should push on before the GCS damage anything critical
As they enter they are suddenly under fire from GCS troopers, one however bears the GCS special forces insignia
Trooper: Hostiles 4 o clock
Saber: I see them!
Soldier: What the heck... OH DEAR GOD!
Aireon: what!?
Aireon says as he returns fire to the GCS forces
Soldier: I think they've blown up the Plasma turbines!
Aireon looks around his feet and sees a colorful goo, spreading around. the heat spreading around is immense, as Aireon backs away from it
Saber: Come on! and get the bomb ready as soon as we blow it we can leave this tin can!
Demolitionist: almost there, Done!
as soon as the Demolitionist finishes he's shot by a plamsa bolt and killed
Saber: Game over! let's move!
When the engine explodes the GCS troopers begin their escape
Aireon: OH NO YOU DON'T!
Aireon shoots some of the GCS troopers before he's cut off by saber who returns fire...
Saber: The USO's days are over, It's time the GCS reunites the Human race
Aireon: You stand no chance
Saber: I'd like to see you try
Saber Fires at Aireon while Aireon aims at him, Aireon is hit in the chest and drops his weapon into the pool of plasma bellow the catwalk
Saber: Now, who are you. I like to know who it is I'm about to kill
Aireon: Officer... *Cough* Mccoy
Saber: Ah a member of the Mccoy family... This will look good on my record. I'll make sure Stephen receives your data tag
A door opens up near the catwalk
Javaleo and Deloxo as well as the group of soldiers rush in and open fire a saber, saber not appreciating the sudden change in the odds, flees with the rest of his unit
Deloxo Rushes over a computer terminal
Deloxo: Asoso... (Crumbs...) all the turbines are offline. ships running off of battery power only
Javaleo: We've got another problem
Deloxo: what is it Carson?
Javaleo: Injured officer here! 6mm plasma bolt pierced the chest...
Deloxo: We're gonna want to get him out of here there's plamsa leaking all over the place and soon this room will reach a critical temperature
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While endevor and Yellowstone are holding their own, the alpine is running on borrowed time, and Aireon is wounded. what happens now? and who will gain control over the front?

Kilobyte: How nice... I'm just updating the vessels Software while I can, Some of this stuff is really outdated. did you know that the targeting software for our guns is from 2212? it's no wonder we can't hit anything.
Capt. Xander: Mhm... Just keep doing what your doing
Xander Opens a com channel
Xander: We're currently missing a good number of fighter pilots so volunteers step up! as an update we will be heading out within the next 3 to 4 hours, final preparations have begun
Aireon: I'm here, By the time I'm done the GCS won't know what hit them
Xander sighs
Javaleo Makes his way through the twisting hulls of the vessel, Engineers are seen performing inspections on wiring behind panels, after what felt like a eternity walking Javaleo makes it to his destination... The medical bay.
Coms: Attention all crew, We are preparing to jump...
D.S.F. Alpine is the first to jump followed by Endeavor, and then Yellowstone
around a week later.
Coms: All crew report to battle stations, Pilots to your fighters
Javaleo is working with a medic to carry an unconscious person
Javaleo: Korso! why do people keep passing out?
Medic: Some people just snap under the pressure, but enough from me, as a combat medic you better get to your post
Javaleo: Yeah
As the battle carriers exit slip speed they are imminently under attack, A high explosive rocket explodes on Endeavor's Bow, another rocket pierces through one of the closed jump tunnels on the Yellowstone,
Xander: Were we hit?
Status Monitor: Affirmative, but the damage is nothing severe.
Xander: Reports on Yellowstone?
Coms Operator: They took a rocket down one of their jump tunnels, damage is bad but they are still functional
Status Monitor: Another missile just hit us, This time on the stern, Thruster 4 is overheating. I'll tell engineering to shut it down
Xander: Navigator Position us horizontally with the enemy, I want them hitting us where the bulk of our armor is
Navigator: Roger that
Xander: Tell onboard gunships they are clear for launch, Now where is Alpine? they should be coming in from CC orbit.
Hanger Command: Gunships. Alpha, Beta, Crimson, and Epsilon, You are clear for launch
Javaleo Makes his way into a griffin drop-ship...
Pilot: prepare yourself we're going to see what happened to D.S.F Alpine
The Transport craft lifts off for the Alpine
Deloxo: First time javaleo?
Javaleo: Somewhat
Deloxo: Don't worry, worrying leads to panic
As the craft gets closer to the alpine a mess of different attack craft are engaging the Alpine
Pilot: I've got fighters inbound
Allied fighter pilot: We'll cover you. This is gonna be a bit messy
The transport craft accelerates and they are spotted by the GCS vessels who open fire with their point defense cannons
A fighter covering the transport craft is blown to pieces by a shell another shell hits the transport craft and the whole thing rumbles and shakes some of the lights shatter
Pilot: Attention Alpine open jump tunnel B16 we're coming in hot! everyone hold on to their helmets!
the craft enters the jump tunnel and clips against the walls and crashes into the hanger bay, a firefight is taking place in the hanger GCS troopers are attempting to shut down the hanger and are meeting heavy resistance from USO forces
Officer: No time to sit around let's move
Javaleo Unbuckles and grabs a plasma rifle fixed on the wall next to him, Behind him Deloxo grabs an assault rifle, the transport craft's door is kicked open and the soldiers inside open fire on incoming GCS troopers. The GCS troopers fall back for now, the hanger bay is heavily damaged, the deck is lit by dim red lights as well as the flicking flames of fires which are being extinguished by crew
Officer: Currently the GCS are trying to tear the ship inside out, aseptically in engineering. Carson, Micky, Darrik, Valley, and Valogo. go assist anyone you kind find, Deloxo, it's likely that they are damaged I hope you're ready for some repair work, alright let's move
Suddenly a massive explosion rocks the Alpine
Officer: WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!?
Crewmember: an explosion just occured in engineering!
Officer: Engineering squadron double time it!
Meanwhile Aireon Flies a dragon fighter into the upper left starboard hanger through a jump tunnel
Ship officer: Welcome aboard Officer Mccoy, Things aren't going well, the starboard hangers are being beat to hell, And I belive we have one of those mongrels onboard
Aireon: Thanks ma'am, that's why I'm here. where were they last seen?
Officer: Engineering
Aireon Grabs a rifle from his fighter and asks two soldiers to follow him
as Aireon runs down the hull he comes to engineering but the door is sealed
Aireon: GREAT! the control panels have been damaged!
Soldier: Stand aside
the soldier takes his sidearm and bashes the control panel into, the door suddenly sides open, a rush of burning hot air rushes through the door
Aireon: Huh... not bad...
Soldier: I was always told I was a wizz with electronics, but we should push on before the GCS damage anything critical
As they enter they are suddenly under fire from GCS troopers, one however bears the GCS special forces insignia
Trooper: Hostiles 4 o clock
Saber: I see them!
Soldier: What the heck... OH DEAR GOD!
Aireon: what!?
Aireon says as he returns fire to the GCS forces
Soldier: I think they've blown up the Plasma turbines!
Aireon looks around his feet and sees a colorful goo, spreading around. the heat spreading around is immense, as Aireon backs away from it
Saber: Come on! and get the bomb ready as soon as we blow it we can leave this tin can!
Demolitionist: almost there, Done!
as soon as the Demolitionist finishes he's shot by a plamsa bolt and killed
Saber: Game over! let's move!
When the engine explodes the GCS troopers begin their escape
Aireon: OH NO YOU DON'T!
Aireon shoots some of the GCS troopers before he's cut off by saber who returns fire...
Saber: The USO's days are over, It's time the GCS reunites the Human race
Aireon: You stand no chance
Saber: I'd like to see you try
Saber Fires at Aireon while Aireon aims at him, Aireon is hit in the chest and drops his weapon into the pool of plasma bellow the catwalk
Saber: Now, who are you. I like to know who it is I'm about to kill
Aireon: Officer... *Cough* Mccoy
Saber: Ah a member of the Mccoy family... This will look good on my record. I'll make sure Stephen receives your data tag
A door opens up near the catwalk
Javaleo and Deloxo as well as the group of soldiers rush in and open fire a saber, saber not appreciating the sudden change in the odds, flees with the rest of his unit
Deloxo Rushes over a computer terminal
Deloxo: Asoso... (Crumbs...) all the turbines are offline. ships running off of battery power only
Javaleo: We've got another problem
Deloxo: what is it Carson?
Javaleo: Injured officer here! 6mm plasma bolt pierced the chest...
Deloxo: We're gonna want to get him out of here there's plamsa leaking all over the place and soon this room will reach a critical temperature
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While endevor and Yellowstone are holding their own, the alpine is running on borrowed time, and Aireon is wounded. what happens now? and who will gain control over the front?

Ep.9
"Aftermath"
The GCS retreat marks the possible end to the battle of Fairont, Javaleo is offered to join the USO forces, Marx is arrested by Local forces after hijack a hydrogen tanker
Date: Oct, 5, 2332
Fairont - Rural Planet
Population - approximately 24 million
Ruins of New Luxembourg
Javaleo, and other local militia hand their weapons over to an officer
USO Officer: Good job out there, all of you... I'll see If I can get ya'll paid for your service.
Javaleo climbs into the back of a Griffin Drop-ship which flies him back to the town near his home, as he hops out he realizes that the war was a lot bigger than he thought, some buildings have been replaced by craters, and some store owners are moving sandbags out of the front of the doors
Javaleo: At least it isn't Pancaked like New Luxembourg was...
BEEP BEEP!
Random Person: HEY! GET OUT THE ROAD!
Javaleo steps over to the sidewalk, and starts walking towards his adoptive parents home...
When he arrives the area is quiet and the fields normally filled with Corn and Cratia, is filled with craters as Javaleo approaches the house he wonders, what if the people who raised him didn't make it, he knocks on the door
Knock Knock Knock
Shuffled Voices: Somebody's knocking on the door. Shouldn't you go see who it is? It's probably just the Insurance company again. Smith, just go check. Fine, fine, I'll go see who it is.
the sound of the lock on the door shifting is heard and the door creaks open
Smith: I told you already I'm not interested in your customer benefits
Javaleo: What...?
Smith: J-Javaleo!?
A big cheeky smile appears on smith's face as he hugs Javaleo, Javaleo smiles in embarrassment...
Smith: I missed you boy!
Javaleo: Hey, I made a promise, and I kept it.
Smith: Javaleo, you don't have to play hero with me, Come on inside... Sorry about the mess, powers been out and bombs that hit the field have from stuff everywhere
Javaleo: Huh... you think this is bad, wait until you hear what happened to new Luxembourg.
Smith: I've heard rumors that most the city has been flattened
Vannie gasps at the sight of Javaleo and runs up and hugs him tightly
Javaleo: GAK
The guest in the building looks aside, he's dressed professionally, wearing a jet black but somehow still shiny, uniform. the P.A.D.F. (Planetary Assault and Defense Forces) emblem is clipped on his uniform.
USO Recruiter: I would hate to intrude but, If Javaleo won't be joining us I will be on my way
Javaleo: Huh? Oh, that would be me actually
USO Recruiter: Well if that's the case this is for you
The Recruiter hands over a letter and prepares to leave
Smith: leave it to the USO to still recruit people by hand, It's a wonder why we don't get many recruits coming in...
Vannie: Well the USO's Interstellar commutation lines aren't as advanced as others...
Javaleo looks at the letter
Smith: You're not actually thinking about signing up are you?
Javaleo: Maybe...
Smith: Boy, I still need your help on the fields! what about these craters? I need help filling those up!
Javaleo ears drop
Javaleo: Dad... I mean... Smith, As a Kingjarin I feel as if I'm responsible to make sure that the GCS pays for what they did to our home world
Javaleo sits down on the porch stairs outside
Smith sits down next to javaleo and rubs his back, Vannie sits next to Javaleo too...
Smith: If that's really how you feel, then do it. I'm not going to stop you from doing what you think is best. Even if it means we won't see each other again for a really long time
Vannie: If you do go... Please remember that we love you
Smith stands up and stretches
Smith: Anyway, I got a bunch of holes I have to fill in now...
Javaleo heads inside and opens the door to his room in the house, he's just been in here for the first time since the GCS attacked, the desk is a mess, the moniter to the computer has toppled over and snapped, and the desk is covered in debris and junk, Javaleo Picks up a tipped over trashcan and uses a book to push everything off the desk into the can
Javaleo sits down and places the letter on the desk, with a sigh he opens it and begins reading
Meanwhile...
Interrogator: Multiple charges, welding a weapon without a permit, Shoplifting, use of military weaponry, Destruction of private property, trespassing, attempted hijacking,and assaulting an officer. I'm most curious about the weapons, who are you? an arms dealer? smuggler? how did you get in possion of military grade weapons?
Marx: that would be Classified information
Interrogator: CLASSIFIED!?! you want me to add obstruction of justice to your charges?
Marx: You think I'm kidding?
P. Officer: Sir... um do you have a second?
Interrogator: I'm busy can't you see? unless it's about our friend here, please leave
P. Officer: that's the thing... the database has nothing on this guy
Interrogator: What?
The Interrogator looks at Marx
Interrogator: Who are you?
Marx: All you need to know is that I'm not a local.
Interrogator: Well I can't just let you go... the way I see it, you could go to court and wait for a judge to decide on your sentence or you could pay the fine
Marx rolls his eyes
Marx: What's the fine?
Interrogator: 1,700,000 CP with a maximum payment time of 5 years
Marx (Quietly): darn... How am I gonna make that much THAT quick?
Several Days later
Austin Shipyard, City of Austin, Fairont
Javaleo walks through the busy area, hundreds of workers work on ships, and approaches a stand.
Javaleo: Um hello? I'm looking to speak to a Star Scape Representative?
Representative: Ah yes, are you looking for transport to another planet?
Javaleo: Yes.
Representative: Alright... I'm going to ask you a few questions please be honest and answer to the best of your ability. Can I get your first and last name?
Javaleo: Javaleo, Carson, I'm heading to Venusaria.
The Representative types something into his computer
Representative: Have you ever flown with us before?
Javaleo: No.
Representative: Have you ever been to space?
Javaleo: Not since I was young
The Representative types more stuff into the computer
Representative: as for protocol for interplanetary travel you're going to need to take the latest Vaccines as well as a mussel tensing serum, I'm going to call our doctor and inform you that your heading up there now, Return to me when your done.
Javaleo heads through a door and follows a sign
"Medical Room"
Javaleo opens the door
Doctor: ah, I've been expecting you Mr. Javaleo
The lights in the room flicker...
The doctor looks around
Doctor: Darn, I thought I told Dave to replace those lights, um sit down and just hang on
The doctor uses his datawatch to contact maintenance
Doctor: We need a replacement light in room 23-O-1, alright sorry about that I assume you're here for the Vaccine and the Mussel tensioner...
The doctor puts a set of 4 small tubes under some cylindrical containers and fills them
Doctor: So do you want to hear what the side-effects are for each or do you want to skip that?
Javaleo: uh...
Doctor: I'm joking. I have to tell you either way, So we're going to start with the Zentec-1 the only noticeable side effect is a fuzzy feeling in the injection area, but that's the only noticeable side effect. Bellax - 4C can cause small amounts of dizziness, and a slight loss of smell, though the sense of smell is only noticeable in humans. 3rd we have Palaho - 3, This one can cause nausea if anything is consumed with 2 hours of injection, as well as a vision loss in the left eye, this is only temporary though and goes away in about 10 minutes
The doctor Injects the Vaccines into javaleo's left arm
Javaleo: Was that it?
Doctor: no we still have to do Vaskell, I will warn you, with this one, try to stay calm, this one can induce a lot of pain and if you try to move too fast you may tear apart one of your mussels, so take it easy, and when the pain goes away you may feel stronger, but please keep in mind that you are in fact not
the doctor injects it into Javaleo's right arm
Javaleo: That's not that ba... KORSO RALO! (KORSO WHY!)
Doctor: Yup... that's pretty much what I expected, alright. I'm going to help you up, remember to take it slow
The doctor helps Javaleo out of the chair and helps him stand
Doctor: alright we're done here.
Javaleo heads downstairs to the Representative
The Representative prints out a small piece of paper and hands it over to Javaleo
Representative: your Shuttle is in dock 15, Have a nice flight!
Javaleo heads over to dock 15 and enters the shuttle
Attendant: Your room is room 12.
Javaleo enters the room
Javaleo: Okay wow... I thought my room in the house was small
the room is 5 by 6 feet with a video screen and bed, a small shelf of Video Cards with different movies from the era are present.
Intercom: attention, We are taking off now
Javaleo looks out the cupola and watches as the planet disappears into the distance
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Javaleo makes his way to Venusaria to join the armed forces, Marx now having another problem to solve on his already busy hands needs to find a way to pay off the fine, What happens next?

"Demotion"
Vola Is Demoted to vice-Admiral by Commander Apollo after refusing to follow orders, Vola shows who is really in charge and uses his skills to help a trapped GCS fleet, to prove his worthiness
Date: Oct, 3, 2332
Planet: Amber
GCS capital
Population: 11 billion
Vola shifts through a well decorated hallway
Capital Guard: Commander Apollo has been expecting you Admiral, Please follow me
Vola: Hpmh...
The Guard opens a door
Capital Guard: Inside
Vola enters the room, the room has a old fashion style to it with a touch of modernity
Apollo: Vola, Please take a seat
Vola walks over to a chair on the opposite side of the desk and sighs
Apollo: Watch your attitude Vola, your lucky don't just force you to resign right here. now I have a question
Vola: What?
Apollo: WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?
Vola: That would be none of your concern
Apollo: It is very much my concern, Everything that happens within the GCS's military is my concern, I just got a report that you lost 25 Destiny class cruisers and a Zinnoth class carrier from your foolish attack! now yes you did devastate an entire USO station, But my reports say that multiple ships. Had in fact, escaped...
Vola Scratches at Apollo's desk, which is quickly met with Apollo hitting Vola's hand with a book
Vola: Don't we have funds for recovering lost ships? What happened to all that, commander? Did you waste our money again?
Apollo: Maybe you would know if you would read the monthly report...
Vola: The monthly report is none of my business, I'm the one fighting the war, all you do is sit on your behind all day and do nothing
Apollo Staggers back
Apollo: Excuse me? My job may not seem like much on the outside but it's very important, much more important than yours. Do I need to remind you of what it is that I do?
Vola Snarls
Vola: You manage the details, the statistics, manage ship repairs and all the stuff involving recruiting.
Apollo: That is correct, what you have just done has cost us almost the entire remainder of our yearly funds, do you any Idea have expensive a destroyed ship is?
Vola rolls his eyes
Vola: 30,000,000 CR for recovery, 1,000,000,000 CR for funeral expenses, and 37,500,000,000 CR for a new ship.
Apollo: And that's an average! A new ship can cost up to 100,000,000,000 CR to build alone! the loss of 25 ships is expensive! around 31% of our yearly funds! and having to open emergency funding hurts other parts of the GCS's government!
Vola rolls his eyes
Apollo looks a Vola with intense anger
Apollo: Vola what you have done is absolutely unacceptable! under any circumstance! Charging into the middle of enemy territory to destroy one enemy station is not a good plan! This is not something I can put up with Vola!
Vola: That's not my problem. It's yours.
Apollo: Vola, You've been demoted
Vola: WHAT?
Apollo: I'm demoting you to Vice-admiral, and I'm taking your ships. You work under Admiral Locks now. Now get out of my office.
"You have no idea the mistake you've just made" Vola thinks to himself
Later
Admiral Greep Fashu: Let me get this straight... Apollo demoted you? I always knew that guy was a moron...
Vola Squeezes a glass until it breaks in his hands
Bartender: Excuse me but you're gonna have to pay to replace that
Vola Picks up the bartender by the throat
Vola: DO YOU WANT TO TEST ME?
Admiral Locks: Vola put him down
Vola throws the Bartender on the ground
Admiral Locks: Vola Make your way to the transport craft,
Vola, Scoffs as he leaves the bar...
Admiral Locks helps the bartender up
Locks: Sorry About that I don't know what's wrong with him, he, has some strange quirks for a Kingjarin...
Greep Fashu Watches admiral locks while drinking a cup of water
"So this is who they're replacing Vola with? At this rate we'll lose this war in months"
Bartender: So, what can I get you
Locks: Just some biscuits for the road.
Vola Enters the transport craft and sits down
Pilot: Launch pad is clear, destination L.R.F. Dominion
A few days later
Admiral Urek (transmission): We've been getting beat up of us out here! We thought we could hold Fairont until reinforcements arrived but when the USO's 1st Defense fleet arrived, We evacuated everyone we could from the surface
BOOM!
Interference causes the signal to go haywire before it recovers a few seconds later
B-Crew (Transmission): Sir long range weapons have been disabled, they are ordering us to surrender.
Urek: Oh no, GET HERE FAST! we need to get our ships out of here now, and we're gonna need a safe place to conduct repairs, jumping back to friendly territory isn't an option!
Locks: We'll be there in 5, I have over 100 ships and a vice admiral with a really bad attitude, we'll handle this.
Vola: Pathetic, can't even hold his own against inferior USO ships...
B-Crew: Didn't you lose 25 of our ships in your last battle?
Vola snarls
Vola: SAY THAT AGAIN AND I'M GONNA KILL YOU!
Locks hits Vola in the back of the head
Locks: Vola you're dismissed, go back to your quarters.
Vola "leaves" the bridge
Locks Sighs
Locks (Coms): Attention all crew, report to battle stations
The ship comes out of Slip speed and Locks sees the disaster that's happening in front of him...
Locks: Holy cow...
around 200 USO ships are attacking a fleet of GCS attack cruisers
Urek (Transmission): We need cover to jump, and fast, ship condition is red
Locks: I'm not sure we can help... that's a lot of enemies to handle
Vola: Move aside...
Locks: Vola I told you to return to your quarters
Vola: I'd like you to know that you make a pathetic excuse for a admiral
Vola sits down in the command chair
Vola: Listen up! This "Admiral" wants to abandon our men, I don't want to...
Locks: Vola, First off I never said that, Secondly get out of that chair
Vola: MAKE ME.
Vola: I want all ships to form a defensive perimeter around the disabled ships, If we focus all our fire on anything that gets too close, move in, destroy any ships that attempt to breach the perimeter, Admiral Urek, I want your ships to jump to the nearby Maroon system, there's an abandoned USO station there, a destroyed dockyard, It's in pretty rough shape but I assume you'll take it over nothing
Locks: VOLA! I will have you dismissed for refusing to follow orders
Vola: I'm sure Apollo will like the fact that you tried to abandon an entire fleet
The GCS ships begin to move into position
Vola hears the sound of a plasma pistol charging up
Locks: Vola... This is treason, as an admiral I demand you to get out of the chair and return to Amber to face trial.
Vola gets out of the chair...
Vola: I'd like to see you try
Vola slides below the shots Locks fires at him and trips him over, taking his gun in the process...
Vola: I can't even be charged for this, it's self defense
Vola fires the gun into Locks's head, instantly killing him.
Vola: Get this body of this bridge, I want a full report of what happened sent to Apollo, DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR!?
B-Crew: YES SIR!
The GCS ships defend the other fleet long enough for them to make their way to slip-speed and escape
Vola: Get us out of here
The rest of the fleet goes to slip speed and escapes
Later...
Apollo (Transmission): Well, I hate to say it Vola but. I'm impressed. 1 ship lost, 14 rescued, It's unfortunate that Locks decided to go rouge... Vola While I can't give you your old fleet back, I will allow you to command Locks Former fleet, Please for the love of god... don't do anything stupid
"Who am I kidding? we all know you will." Apollo mumbles to himself
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vola proves himself as the superior leader, and regains control of a fleet. for the GCS this is a massive advantage, for the USO. this is a Disaster, what does this mean for the USO, and how will it affect the war?

Ep.8
"Demotion"
Vola Is Demoted to vice-Admiral by Commander Apollo after refusing to follow orders, Vola shows who is really in charge and uses his skills to help a trapped GCS fleet, to prove his worthiness
Date: Oct, 3, 2332
Planet: Amber
GCS capital
Population: 11 billion
Vola shifts through a well decorated hallway
Capital Guard: Commander Apollo has been expecting you Admiral, Please follow me
Vola: Hpmh...
The Guard opens a door
Capital Guard: Inside
Vola enters the room, the room has a old fashion style to it with a touch of modernity
Apollo: Vola, Please take a seat
Vola walks over to a chair on the opposite side of the desk and sighs
Apollo: Watch your attitude Vola, your lucky don't just force you to resign right here. now I have a question
Vola: What?
Apollo: WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?
Vola: That would be none of your concern
Apollo: It is very much my concern, Everything that happens within the GCS's military is my concern, I just got a report that you lost 25 Destiny class cruisers and a Zinnoth class carrier from your foolish attack! now yes you did devastate an entire USO station, But my reports say that multiple ships. Had in fact, escaped...
Vola Scratches at Apollo's desk, which is quickly met with Apollo hitting Vola's hand with a book
Vola: Don't we have funds for recovering lost ships? What happened to all that, commander? Did you waste our money again?
Apollo: Maybe you would know if you would read the monthly report...
Vola: The monthly report is none of my business, I'm the one fighting the war, all you do is sit on your behind all day and do nothing
Apollo Staggers back
Apollo: Excuse me? My job may not seem like much on the outside but it's very important, much more important than yours. Do I need to remind you of what it is that I do?
Vola Snarls
Vola: You manage the details, the statistics, manage ship repairs and all the stuff involving recruiting.
Apollo: That is correct, what you have just done has cost us almost the entire remainder of our yearly funds, do you any Idea have expensive a destroyed ship is?
Vola rolls his eyes
Vola: 30,000,000 CR for recovery, 1,000,000,000 CR for funeral expenses, and 37,500,000,000 CR for a new ship.
Apollo: And that's an average! A new ship can cost up to 100,000,000,000 CR to build alone! the loss of 25 ships is expensive! around 31% of our yearly funds! and having to open emergency funding hurts other parts of the GCS's government!
Vola rolls his eyes
Apollo looks a Vola with intense anger
Apollo: Vola what you have done is absolutely unacceptable! under any circumstance! Charging into the middle of enemy territory to destroy one enemy station is not a good plan! This is not something I can put up with Vola!
Vola: That's not my problem. It's yours.
Apollo: Vola, You've been demoted
Vola: WHAT?
Apollo: I'm demoting you to Vice-admiral, and I'm taking your ships. You work under Admiral Locks now. Now get out of my office.

"Kilobyte"
Petty officer Aireon McCoy battles his way through the crumbling station as he attempts to get Kilobyte to D.S.F. Endeavor, and away from the enemy admiral, Vola
Date: Sep 27, 2332
Space near the Maroon system
Alarms and gunshots echo throughout the station, a single USO officer is fighting off an entire invasion force on his own
Aireon: Targets in the west wing have been eliminated. I'm seeing signs of extreme battle damage to the exterior of the station.
1st officer Exodus: Roger that, I'm sending men to secure the sector, Hang on I'm getting a high priority hail from captain Reff, Patching him through
Reff: Officer McCoy meet me on the bridge asap
Aireon fights his way through the crumbling station, explosions rock the outer hull. Aireon enters the elevator and heads up to the command deck where he enters the bridge
Aireon: Officer McCoy reporting for duty!
Reff: Knock it off, Things aren't exactly going to plan here.
Reff looks out the Cupola
Reff: I was expecting a small invasion force or even a lost scout fleet. It appears I was wrong. Fighters have reported to me that there are over 100 attacking cruisers, as for the attack shuttles in dry dock many are undergoing software reworks, or being refitted
BOOM! a large explosion rocks the entire station
Reff: Kilobyte! Damage Report!
Kilobyte: It was the weapons center, 3 rockets from a light fighter craft detonated near the area rendering the weapons systems inoperable, Whomever commenced the attack knew exactly where to hit us.
Reff: This is why I contacted you officer McCoy I need you to get kilobyte off this station, you already know the risks of what a captured AI could do, Kilobyte are you ready for transfer?
Kilobyte: Affirmative
Reff Pulls a data card from a control panel and hands it over to Aireon
Reff: Kilobyte is experimental AI, don't let it fall into enemy hands, Shuttle endevor is preparing to leave, now go!
The station shakes as another explosion occurs this time coming from the mainframe, Aireon makes his way to the elevator when he's stopped
Donn: I wouldn't take that if I were you, No doubt there will be GCS troopers coming up it
the elevator suddenly starts moving up floors
Donn: Speaking of which...
The elevator opens and GCS troopers open fire, Donn Dodges the fire and fires back at the troopers, and throws Aireon his O2 respirator
Donn: Go out the airlock!
Aireon takes the respirator and heads into a airlock and puts it in
Computer: Cycling airlock
The area goes silent, and Aireon moves to the exterior hull, the HUD on Aireons tracker updates showing his rotation, heading and speed, fighter craft speed by, Aireon hangs low, Aireon jumps to another section of the station, the station shakes again...
Aireon gets an explosion warning on his HUD, he looks up to the bridge area and sees that part of the station that the explosion came from, up in the breach Donn is fighting Vola, Aireon decides not to stick around and finds a hull breach were he enters, Aireon finds a closed bulkhead and activates the panel... After a few seconds the door doesn't open, Aireon rolls his eyes and takes out his rifle
Aireon shoots the bulkhead open and it is suddenly forced open by rushing air, Aireon lunges into the interior and hits the activation pannel for the inflatable blockade, the blockade fills with air and reseals the room. Aireon looks toward the drydock and sees DSF Endeavor.
Aireon Runs down the hall leading to the ships entrance, but a shuriken fighter rises up and revs up its heavy machine guns...
Aireons lays down bellow the glass part of the hull and bullets shred the glass in the hall
Computer: Warning! Rapid Depressurization Detected! Please head to the nearest O2 station!
Aireon puts his resperator back on before he can suffocate and aims his rifle at the fighter, with a pull of the trigger the gun refuses to fire, Checking the ammo Magazine Aireon See's that it's empty, so he whips out his pistol and fires at the fighter, the pistol isn't strong enough to damage the fighter, suddenly a incoming message alert appears on Aireons hud
"You may want to duck"
Aireon, confused, looks over at Endeavor and sees some of the point defense guns beginning to target the shuriken, Aireon quickly ducks down as a mass wave of bullets and plasma shells speed by and hit the shuriken, the pilot loses control of the fighter and the fighter starts spining out of control RIGHT TOWARDS AIREON
Aireon jumps off the station and onto Endeavor, towards an open launch tunnel as he lands inside he quickly makes his way toward the bridge where he meets captain Xander
Aireon: Captain! I have kilobyte
Xander: Good, Navigation full reverse on all thrusters
Brigde Crew: Hang on, revesing thruster flow...
the ship begins to move but then the dry-dock's docking mags lock it in place!
Xander: We don't have time for this, Jump to slip-speed!
B. crew: Sir we could risk damaging the...
Xander: THAT'S A ORDER!
B. crew: Understood, Jumping to slip-speed
The ship jumps to slip-speed tearing the stations lower section off, Aireon places the datachip containing the AI into the user interface...
Xander: Kilobyte, access application DSR dot exe, run damage report...
Kilobyte: Hang on looking up file... aaaaaaaaaand.... found it! multiple areas have lost their armor paneling, however the hull paneling remains intact, I've decided to add the damage report to the event tracker and I'm creating a repair request, Would you like me to stop?
Xander: Negative, please proceed... and while you are at it plot a course to the nearest friendly spaceport
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aireon watches as the station disappears into the distance, Who was it the started this attack? what did the AI, Kilobyte have that he wanted? and will they get it?
