Chaos Theory Pt. 5: Enemies of Liberty
Trent watched Juni disappear from his sight, before turning around in the slow- moving elevator. For the third time in his life, he was about to embark on a journey to save humanity, and he was actually starting to wonder if this was the final battle, like the battle of Armageddon predicted in the Bible in Revelation. When the elevator finally reached the landing bay, Trent climbed into his ship. When he launched, he saw the cold green- blue nebulae, the asteroids, and off in the distance he could see Prission Station Michell. Yet again, he was in the forbidden system, Alaska. He found the New York Jump gate on his nav map, and set a course. Behind him the Osiris cloaked, and Blanca came over the secure channel. "The Osiris will stay cloaked until you get back with President Jacobi, just make sure you head back to this spot, we will uncloak and you can dock. Osiris out." Trent headed to the gate where he was encountered by two Liberty Battleships, the Wisconsin and the Idaho.
"Unidentified ship, this is the Battleship Wisconsin. You are ordered to cut your engines and prepare to be boarded. If you do not deactivate your engines within ten seconds, you will be terminated!" Trent was getting tired of always having to identify himself to other people. He had saved all of their lives twice already. Twelve seconds passed and the Wisconsin and the Idaho opened fire. Trent dodged the torpedoes and fired his wave of lasers and missiles. He didn't need to use his torpedoes because human battleships were a lot weaker than Nomads. Trent had the Wisconsin totally destroyed and was now firing on the Idaho, when the Battleship Connecticut unlocked with Juneau shipyard.
All of the sudden there were lasers all around him, and Nomads appeared on his scanners. "This is just perfect!" Trent said to himself. The Idaho and the Connecticut were destroyed by the first torpedo wave, and now they were after Trent. He managed to get through the jump gate just in time to see it destroyed. At least no Nomads could follow him now, he sped to New York.
When Trent cleared the jump gate, the weapons platforms opened fire. They only had level 3 guns so they were no problem at all. Trent plotted a course for Battleship Rio Grande' that had just been recently stationed in New York, and headed for the trade lane. He got to Manhattan without any trouble, and docked. The landing was smooth and went off without a hitch. Trent's El Chupacabra approached the Presidential Palace where President Jacobi was waiting, and was warned by several LSF and LN ships to alter his course or he would be fired upon.
After Trent didn't turn away, they opened fire. "Possible terrorist situation at the Presidential Palace. Send backup immediately. I repeat, possible terrorist ship in Presidential Palace airspace, need backup ASAP." A man said over the radio. Several ships were opening fire on him, but Trent didn't need to fire back, after all, Liberty ships were the weakest in all of Sirius. Trent picked up his Neural Net Communicator watch that he had laying on the console, and contacted Jacobi.
"President Jacobi, do you copy?"
"Jacobi here, whats going on?"
"I'm on my way to the pick-up point, but I'm having a nice little visit with your friends."
"They arn't attacking you are they?"
"No, we just went to the admiral's place to have a cup of tea." Trent said sarcastically over the com. "You think you could tell them to stand down? I don't want to hurt anybody if I don't have to."
"Negative, if anyone sees me leaving with you then they will know something's up. Is this transmission being tapped?"
"My encryption is solid. To anyone listing in, this is nothing but a bunch of static. And I'm starting to get tired of the LSF clowns, so we might want to hurry up."
"Roger, meet me at the palace. I've given you the grand tour before, you know where my room is right?"
"Be there as soon as I lose these clowns."
Trent flew out over the ocean, his plan was to go far out with the ships chasing him, cloak and fly back to the palace before anyone can get there. He dove underwater, with several ships following. After going about twenty miles under the water, Trent used his cloaking device. After emerging he flew straight to the palace.
Trent flew toward the palace and hovered outside of Jacobi's window. She was startled by the loud noise, she walked over to her window to investigate. The window was open and Jacobi stuck her head out. When Trent saw this he raised up to the same level as the window and uncloaked. He motioned for her to jump in the cargo hold that had just opened, and she did. Trent cloaked again and sped off for the docking ring. He would have to uncloak to use it, and so he thought.
If he used the docking ring and then cloaked, everyone would know that the Nomads had returned. He would have to fly back to the Osiris without a cloak.
After Trent cleared the atmosphere he was hailed by the Battleship Rhode Island to surrender President Jacobi. Word travels fast in Liberty Trent thought to himself. He picked up the microphone and said "Follow me and she dies!" he threatened. But of course, he was not serous. Trent punched his cruise engines and flew straight to the deinse particle cloud on the far side of where Pittsburgh used to be. He knew that the New York Jump gate on the Alaska side was destroyed, but there was a jump hole just discovered about thirty minutes ago by the Liberty Rouges that would take him very close to the Osiris. After Trent jumped he saw several Nomad Battleships very near the Osiris. Trent cloaked before they saw him and flew to a secluded spot. "Osiris, this is Trent. I have the president, there are several Nomads in the vicinity. Do not, I repeat do not respond to this transmission. They might be listening in, but they don't know our measurements of distance. I need you to meet me exactly 418k directly South of Prission Station Michell." Trent flew to the waypoint and waited. The Osiris uncloaked and before any of the Nomads could get there, he docked, and the Osiris cloaked again.
"Plot a course for Tohoku. Ryuku base, tell the Blood Dragons we are coming." Blanca ordered one of his pilots as Trent and Jacobi stepped into the bridge. Blanca turned to face Trent, and then Jacobi, he shook her hand and said "Mad'am Jacobi, I'm sorry for all of this, but there are some things you need to know." Blanca and Jacobi stepped into another room. Juni walked over to Trent and kissed him on the cheek. As Blanca and Jacobi talked, Trent and Juni walked off to their quarters.
"Ryuku base, this is Order Battleship Osiris, requesting to moore with your station over." The Osiris received clearance from Ryuku and docked. As everyone walked out into the lobby, they were approached by the manager. He asked what everyone needed and showed them to their quarters. There was an alarm, and the loudspeaker thundered. "All personnel, evacuate the base now. All fighter pilots, to your ships. We have detected several Nomad Battleships headed for the base. I repeat, several Nomad Battleships detected." Trent and Juni headed for their ships, hoping for the best. They had to fight to clear a path so the other ships could escape. The Nomads had the base surrounded.
