Mark Fereniz:Fleeing with Gaians
Chapter 1: The Escape from Islay
When Mark sat in the bar on Islay Base, a message on the news board catched
his eye. It said ''New systems discovered''. When he read it a bit closer,
he could read: ''Our best pilots, who where searching for jumpholes for a long
time, have finally found new systems. We will start to colonize them as
soon as possible. We needed new systems because we are losing the battle
against Bretonia. Some Bounty Hunters have told the Armed Forces where
our Islay Base is. Our spies have already confirmed that some battleships
were reassigned to the Edinburgh system. We need to get out of here as soon
as possible.''
Mark was a freelancer, but when he traveled trough Bretonia, he met
some Gaians. He liked them and the cause they were fighting for.
His home was on Planet Los Angeles, but he hadn't been there
for about 7 years.
His father was also a freelancer, who had disappeared somewhere in
the Tau-systems.
His mother was still on Los Angeles, raising Stephen, Mark's little brother.
However, Stephen was not actually a ''little brother'' anymore, because he was
now 23 years old. Mark was 31. Stephen had always wanted to be a
freelancer. Mark guessed Stephen was also a freelancer now.
Mark silently hoped that he would see his family again.
But the chance was really small, especially when he would go the new systems
with the Gaians.
Suddenly, he heard an alarm. ''Code Red, Code Red'' ''Leave the Base immediatly,
we are attacked by Bretonian Forces!''
Mark ran to his Hawk, activated it and launched to space.
When he saw the battleships, he was surprised. 6 battleships and
around 45 Crusaders! He knew the Gaians couldn't win.
''Boom!'' A missile had hit him and his shield was down. There was a Crusader on
his tail. Mark used some shield batteries. ''Zooof'' Another missile. The
missile pushed his Hawk towards an asteroid. He dodged the asteroid, looked
back, and saw that the Crusader flew against the asteroid. It exploded.
Suddenly, he heard a voice over the com channel. ''Fereniz!'' ''We need to flee!'' It was Commodore Atmore. ''Yes, but to where?'' Mark replied.
''There is a jumphole in sector 7B!'' ''Follow me'' said Commodore Atmore.
Mark followed...
