It is a partly WC-based story, I'll use their ships and some of the chars, but all will be modified to suit the story here is the second chapter btw
It is 18:00 all the new arrivals are sitting in the briefing room waiting for the CO. At last he enters “At ease. Usually this is the time when I tell you who is in what squadron. This year however we will be working in a different way. You are a much bigger group than usual, and because of this, and the fact that the two existing squadrons work very well together, the rookies will form a squadron and the veterans another. The rookies will be Ruby squadron and the vets will be Tarantula Squadron. The vets can leave after I read their official “member list”, the members of the Tarantulas are:
Neo
Nickless
Ff
Esquilax
Indy
zeratural
Viator
kimk
Wizard
Gowserpaul
Arania
And the squadron leader, Locutus
You may go.”
Maniac and the rookies watched as the Tarantulas walked from the room, full of pride and…arrogance? The rookies couldn’t believe this, they were warn time and again at the academy that arrogance was the root of death. Maniac didn’t seem to care. He fixed his attention on the rookies.
“First of all, all competition between members of the two schools stops here. You are not a Diamond or a Widow anymore, you are now a Ruby and I expect you to act as one. Secondly, I expect you to show respect to the Tarantulas, they are some of the most decorated pilots the Confed has had, in short they are the best of the best.
“Ghmf, we can be better than them anytime” Arcon mumbled, around him heads nodded.
“I suppose you would say that in front of them?” Maniac’s reply is sarcastic, but he is mightily surprised by Arcon’s answer “As a matter of fact sir, yes I would” around him, the heads of the other Diamonds are also bobbing up and down.
“Well, well, they have the true attitude of rookies” Maniac was still being extremely sarcastic, he didn’t believe for one second these rookies could be better than the vets. This time it was one of the Widows, Chetnik, which contradicted him “Sir, we know what we can do and if the Diamonds are even half as good as the Widows, no-one can beat us as a team”
“What do you mean “half as good?” Immediately the Diamonds were on their back feet. Maniac was actually glad for the distraction “Sit down and be quiet! I told you, you are no longer Diamonds or Widows, you are Rubies, if I ever hear such comments again, all of you will be punished”
If looks could kill, half of the people in the room would be dead. Even though they were staring daggers at each other, everyone calmed down. Maniac continued “Later on each of you can choose their own ship, for now you will be assigned ships just before you fly. Your team list is as follows, when I read your name I want you to say from which squadron you are.”
“sw”
“Widows, sir”
“Chetnik”
“Widows, sir”
“Krazy”
“Widows, sir”
“Mustang”
“Diamonds, sir”
“Finalday”
“Widows, sir”
“Monkey”
“Diamonds, sir”
“Gromit”
“Widows, sir”
“Stormtrooper”
“Diamonds, sir”
“Tawakalna”
“Diamonds, sir”
“Arcon”
“Diamonds, sir”
“Recusant”
“Diamonds, sir”
“Heltak”
“Wi.. eh Rubies, sir”
Maniac got into his sarcastic jacket again “Congratulations, rookies, all but Heltak fails. I told you five minutes ago that you are no longer part of you academy squadron. You will all, including Heltak, report to the kitchen 10 minutes from now, there are a lot of dirty dishes to be washed and potatoes to be peeled. Tomorrow at 0700 we will meet here again and you will receive your first mission info, dismissed.”

Maniac enters the briefing room and immediately everyone is silent. He looks around and sees, that, as expected, the Rubies are sitting on the one side of the room and the Tarantulas on the other.
“Before you check your ICIS for your assignment.” He turns the Rubies “Some of the Tarantulas would have accompanied you on this assignment, because it is your first, but after our conversation yesterday” he looks at Arcon pointedly, “I have decided that you will do this alone. You can now check your ICIS”
Locusuts looks down at his ICIS, he is surprised at what is standing there, he thought the assignments would be the other way round, or that is what he would have done. He clears his throat “Sir…”
Maniac just shakes his head “The assignments are right Locutus, just finish reading”
There is a comms relay station in the K’n’Pakh system, in the S’kh’haral Quadrant, this station is believed to be used to transmit most of the Kilrathi’s messages in this Quadrant. The Tarantulas will fly to the Sum’nH’hra system engaging any Kilrathi they find, this will draw them away from the comms station, giving the Rubies the gap they need to destroy the comms station. You will stay in the system until the comms station is destroyed and the Rubies join you. You will then drop engagement and return to the Reactor.
Around Locutus the other Tarantulas were also confused, they expected to be the ones blowing up the comms station, holding off the enemy was the easy part which the rookies usually got to do. On the other side of the room, the Rubies didn’t realize that they got the “wrong” part of the job, they are also busy reading their assignment.

The Tarantulas will fly to the Sum’nH’hra system engaging any Kilrathi they find, this will draw them away from the comms station, giving the Rubies the gap they need to destroy the comms station. The station has a shield and about 200 turrets protecting it, the shield generator has its own shields, which power is generated by the turrets, therefore you will have to eliminate all turrets first, then the shield generator and finally the station itself. Speed is of the essence, the comms station has a warning system, which alerts Kilrathi all over that it is being attacked. You will have to be in and out in under 10 minutes. When the station is destroyed, proceed to the Sum’nH’hra system, there you will meet up with the Tarantulas and return to the Reactor.
Maniac could see that everyone had finished reading “Good luck people, Tarantulas you are dismissed. Locutus there is no need to discuss the mission with me, it is as it should be. “ When the last Tarantula had left, he turned to the Rubies “This is your first assignment as team, do not mess it up. Finalday you will be squadron leader . For this mission you will be flying Shrikes. Dismissed.”
The docking bay is a beehive of activity, everyone are checking and rechecking their ships. sw is busy checking her HUD, when someone speaks behind her “Did you know, in space no-one can hear you scream” she turns around to see Locutus, the Tarantula squadron leader, standing behind her looking at her ship. She looks at him, wondering what this could b about “Yes, sir, there are no particles to carry the sound waves.” He continues staring at her ship “So when you have to eject and are floating out in space there are no-one to hear when you scream for oxygen, for warmth, for somebody to save you. It is only you and the abyss of space. It is only you drifting around, slowly sinking, shouting, screaming, pleading for death, because you know that there is no way out of the abyss of space. Then, when you continue to tumble through the void called space, unable to talk, unable to move, unable to die, then you will realise that this is no job for little girls with pink cheeks” He looks her full in the face and says deliberately slow “In space no-one can hear you scream. It’s only you and the never-ending abyss of death” With that words he turns around and leaves.
