“Initiate microjump in 3..2..1..” At Captain Ciro’s countdown everyone braced for the pulling, twisting, and then free falling feeling of the jump into hyperspace.
The last three hours were a stettled in feeling of confidence inside the ship. The Engineering and bridge crew did amazing work getting the vessel ready. When Lok’Khar arrived with astrogation charts from this week every member of the bridge crew breathed a sigh of relief. The most eventful happening was when a group of monks and believers of the Church of Kathol Prophets encircled the ship and began to bless the vessel. Gorak and Lok’Khar both recommended going out accept the honor. So Captain Ciro, Ambassador Thane, and Lt Dayson (who later signed autographs) spent much of the countdown to liftoff in a circle praying that the ship would do the mission of the True Prophet of Kathol to help bring his return.
As Ciro counted down to zero he still was sure if he wanted to do the will of the true prophet or help him return whoever he was. The null point formed and the ship felt the quick pull into hyperspace.
The view on the bridge of the swirling energies of the faster that light dimension was breathtaking. Every bridge crew member stopped for moment just staring into the mysteries of hyperspace. The jump was over quickly. I little too quickly.
Damage control lights flared as the red alert lights came on dimly noting a smaller level of alert.
“Thyte what happen to our jump,” Captain Ciro asked as crew members began frantically gathering information.
Thyte spends a moment leaning over Lt Slyer’s shoulder then straightens up to attention, ”Sir, There is a gravitonic disturbance in the system’s gas giant. With the hyperspace beacons destroyed we did not have this in our calculations. We are orbiting the gas giant Kal’Yas and are collecting data for the next jump.”
Ciro nodded then looked to damage control, “Anything to report.”
“The hyperdrive flow needs to be rebalanced. The gas giant graviton burst created a negative flux wave in the antimatter. Lowfyrrnn says it should just be a matter of hours before we are ready.”
“Good, you expect a few bucks when you are first breaking a horse. Astrogation recalculate the route to Bromslan and let’s get this hunt started.”
Communications Officer Dyson broke in,”Sir we a subspace message coming in I’m trying to clean it up but it is very disrupted.”
“Bring it up on the bridge screen.” Ciro commands.
“This is the Kolatil Council.. all New Republic forces please send assistance immediately. After imprisoning the Imperial governor we have been attacked by Tie Bombers… Domaz is in flames…. Please send emergency medical assistance.”
The crew thinks back the cheers that went through the city as they watched the Imperial governor arrested. The statue of the Emperor pulled down in the capital city of Domaz. The people happy in the streets celebration freedom. Subspace would take 4 hours from Kolatil. The call for help is already 4 hours into the bombardment.
“Sir, there is a subspace holovid following in a general frequency. It is much stronger.” Dyson says his normally strong voice cracks a little. “You don’t want to put this on screen sir.”
CIro, Thyte, and Slyer lean over the comms station. The video has been sent by an Imperial Escort Carrier Dark Omen. The video feed shows views from the Tie Bombers. You see people running through the streets as turbolaser fire cuts them down. Entire buildings are collapsing with bodies falling from the viewports. Burning people are taking their last steps from bombed building as they lay and die. There are no words in the video feeds just a fade to black and the symbol of the Empire.
“Sir, the Governor of Kal’Shabbol has contacted us and would like to speak with you. Her assistant has stated they are gathering relief supplies, but they do not have any ships that will be hyperdrive capable for at least 3 days.”
Ciro starts to calculate in his mind as Thyte starts to speak their options out loud.” The fleet made the jump last night to the Minos Cluster. Even if they dropped out of hyperspace which would be too risky for the fleet the turnaround would be 6 days till they could arrive at Kolatil. If they complete the jump it will be 14 days. Once we get the balance back in the antimatter it is 92 hours to Kolatil with our drives. That doesn’t include if we return to Kal’Shebbol for supplies and relief aid.”
“What about the X-Wings?” Ciro asks knowing the answer.
“They could arrive in 23 hours. They would not have any backup sir.” Thyte objects.
“Send them.”
“Sir”
“SEND THEM NOW!”
“Slyer how long before the Aegis and the Muvon can be readied?” Ciro asks.
“An hour or less o prep and 46 hours to make it to Kolatil.” Slyer states.
“Prep the Aegis. LT Adrimetrum is in charge of her field team and general operations. Gorak will take his full security team. IT has 5 tons of space for ordinance and I want it full for combat. Launch as soon as prepared for Kolatil. You will secure an area in Domaz to begin our relief efforts.
Slyer you will be in charge of the medical relief team that will be transported on the Muvon. Take everything you can from the medical bay, a couple of the doctors, and the medical droids. We will replace whatever we lack with the relief supplies. Ambassador Thane will also accompany you to help coordinate the relief efforts. As soon as the Aegis says it is safe land and you will prepare a relief center.
Lt Dejus please accompany XO Slyer on the Muvon. Give whatever insight you are able on the tactics the Bad Omen may be trying.
Thyte I need to get our astrogation ready for a microjump back to Kal’Shabbol and then out of system after we pick up supplies. Also stress to the engineering crew we don’t have hours.”
“Yes Sir!” All begin to scatter to their assigned duties.
“Dayson”
“Yes, Sir.”
Patch me through to the Governor then report to the Muvon. Maybe the Hero of the Republic can calm a few people down and make them feel safe.
“Yes, Sir.” Dayson swells with pride which is dangerous considering how large he starts.
Ciro rubs his eyes and takes the communication board. His father always said that “It’s storms not ships that makes a spacer.” This is looking to be quite a storm.
