Sorry all for the long wait on chapter 12. This is not my most favourite chapter on my series but i promise this is the beginning of the build up to the conclusion of my fanfic. I should have 13 ready shortly. I don't think 13 will be very long. I hope you all like 12 though. Here it is.
Chapter 12 – Scouts Honour
It was 0700hrs on the Osiris.
“Will all senior personnel please report to the docking bay”
Trent rolled over and shook Juni gently.
“Juni” said Trent. “Juni, wake up we’ve gotta go”
“Humh, what time is it?” asked Juni sleepily.
“Its 7 in the morning. We’ve got to go to the docking bay”
Trent rolled out of bed and threw his clothes on. Juni followed a few minutes later.
Juni and Trent were the first to meet Orillion and Halap’onmelep in the docking bay.
“What’s going on?” asked Trent.
“Be patient Trent. We’ll wait for the others” replied Orillion.
It was 10 minutes before everyone had arrived on the docking bay. King was suffering from a bad hangover.
“Ok everyone, listen up. Liberty have been contacted regarding their cloaking system. They are unable to mass produce the cloaking technology in the short period of time that we need”
“What!?” shouted King. “How are we supposed to travel through the Nomad systems in safety?”
“Halap’onmelep and I have been discussing plans to re configure their cloaking field frequencies to match that of the Osiris. He has been in contact with his ship and Dom Kavash engineers have so far been successful in matching the frequencies. They have already launched scouting vessels through 5 of the Jump Holes and are due to report back on their Mother Ship shortly. We are to meet them there in 1 hour to discuss the findings and the way forward. I suggest you eat then meet back here in 50. Dismissed.”
Everyone left the docking bay to go to the mess hall. The Osiris chef was serving synth paste with a synth paste garnish.
After everyone had finished eating, they met with Orillion, Sinclair and Quintaine in the Docking bay. There was an Order transport waiting for them.
“Lets go.” Said Orillion. “They are waiting for us”
Everyone got on board the Transport. The Osiris was only a 1000k from the Dom Kavash mother ship.
The huge docking bay doors opened and the Transport glided in gently and set itself down in the docking bay. Halap’onmelep was waiting.
“Thank you for coming” he said as Orillion came out of the Transport. “The scouts are waiting in tactical. Please, follow me.”
Trent was familiar with the surroundings of the Dom Kavash vessel. This time, he wasn’t there as a stranger.
Much like his first visit, there was a long walk to tactical.
They entered tactical where the 5 Dom Kavash scouts were waiting. The Dom Kavash had seats waiting for the Order members.
“Please sit” said Halap’onmelep.
He turned to the 5 scouts. “Please report your findings”
Each of the scouts described what they had seen. Nomad fleets had begun a huge build up in two of the five systems. In the other 3, Nomad scouts had been found patrolling the systems. No Nomad structures had been found. Halap spoke to them in Kavashian and the scouts left tactical.
He looked at Orillion. “What do you suggest?” He asked.
“It is a big concern that Nomad fleets are amassing in two of the systems. What is more concerning is where they are coming from.” Replied Orillion. “Have the other scouts begun their searches?”
“Yes. They are due back shortly”
No more than 30 minutes passed for the return of 5 of the scouts. They entered tactical and spoke of much the same. The systems they had visited were being patrolled by Nomad scouts.
“Any reports on the other two scouts?” asked Hakkera.
“No. They were due back…”
Suddenly, one of the Dom Kavash crew members came barging in through tactical. He looked afraid.
“Halap, we have word the one of the scouts has been destroyed. The other is heavily damaged and is coming back now.”
“What happened?” asked Halap.
“Unknown”
“Very well. Thank you.” Replied Halap. “We shall meet the survivor in the docking bay”
Everyone got out to leave and they made their way to the docking bay. The dom Kavash scout ship was badly damaged.
“Report scout” Shouted Halap.
“Cloaking device failed. Nomad Shipyard. Nomad City. Hundreds of Nomads.”
The scout had come from the Jump Hole King and Von Claussen had been investigating.
“What happened to the other scout?” asked Trent.
“Nomad Scouts in an adjoining system. Cloaking device failure,”
“Well it looks like we now know our target. I will ask for reinforcement from the houses.” Said Orillion.
“Good. As promised, we shall give you our weapons technology. It will be a fine addition to your ships. We shall prepare our attack forces throughout the system. I suggest you bring your ships here so we can modify them. Go back to yours and contact your species. We will meet here when you are ready to plan our attack” said Halap.
Orillion boarded the Transport and made his way back to the Osiris. Everyone else remained on the Dom Kavash mother ship.
