Description

The transport was at the optimal range. They had made the mistake of moving in the opposite direction of the the rocks orbit, and nothing stood out on a plot like something moving in the wrong direction. Giving the command to the helm, they fired the thrusters to bring more cannons to bear in the unlikely event they would be needed. The turret crews had already aimed the six turrets that could be brought to bear and let loose the salvo that had been primed. As the cannons went through the reload procedure, they checked the other turrets readiness. They weren't going to let them get away due to a missed shot. “Helm! Why isn't the nose pointing at them yet? I want to be able to fire a full salvo at those piles of shit!” she yelled from the sensor station. She watched as the terrorists tried to get away, unfortunately, the thrusters on that transport weren't high performance. It would take them far too much time to get come up to full power. A deaths head grin spread across her face as the plasma bolts impacted on the unarmored hold, igniting the deuterium pellets. She relaxed as there was no need for a second salvo. “Comms, send report to command. Target destroyed. No survivors or salvage. End report. Helm, bring us to 185 by 34. One fourth power, please,” she ordered as she returned to her seat and brought up here terminal to begin typing up a full report. Command might have preferred to have recaptured the transport, but they wouldn't dare show more than disappointment at losing it. She had been through far more combat than any of those brasshats.
