[Halo] New! Halo RPG Pt. 11

[Erex]

Tylan: Looks like they are going into atmosphere kill the engine units destroy them whatever it takes. The Draco opens fire on the engine units and turns its fire to the Archer Missile pods and disables one them.

Hayes looked at The Ulterior Motive on the holomap. Hayes: What the hell is he doing? Hayes walked towards the front of the bridge. Hayes: Helm...plot a pursuit course...he is on the run. Hayes contacted then contacted Admiral Burke. Hayes: Admiral...I need a favor... Burke responded over the comm. Burke: What do you need Captain? Hayes: Admiral...I am going to need covering fire. Keep tabs on those last few Trust ships...make sure they don't turn their guns on me. Any support you can offer would be great. Burke: Understood Captain. I'll watch your back. Burke out. The King Raven began to pick up speed as it followed The Ulterior Motive right into atmosphere. As The King Raven was in pursuit, The Ulterior Motive fired another barrage of lock-on Archer missiles. Temple: Sir...incoming weapons fire... Hayes: All point defenses to fore! Reconfigure all warheads in Archer pods 1 through 10 for proximity detonation! Fire pods 1 through 10 at will! HAWK: Captain...those missiles are not coming for us...they are locked onto The Draco... Hayes: How many missiles... HAWK: 95 signatures... HAWK paused. HAWK: There is a 92% chance The Draco will be destroyed by that volley. On the present course of those missiles...if we alter course for a direct intercept...we will lose a target lock on The Ulterior Motive... Hayes: Damn it...and Burke is engaging those Frigates... Hayes paused. Hayes: Prepare to alter course...intercept those missiles...shoot them down! HAWK: targets acquired...firing all weapons now. If anyone here is the superstitious type...feel free to cross your fingers...and hope my aim is as good as I claim it to be...

Galen: Commander 95 missiles incoming we can't out run. Tylan: Haye's I'm going into slip I need to ensure this ship will survive Tylan out! Tylan: Ensign do a micro slip jump possible to other side of system now!!! Galen: Engaging slip drives The Draco starts to do a micro jump when the first missile hits Galen: We're hit Tylan: Still go go go The Draco goes into slip to the other side of the system and drops out of slip

The Ulterior Motive continued on its downward trajectory. Trust officer: SIr...our hull has exceeded maximum theoretical stress tolerance tolerance. Hull Temperature is at 109% of maximum. The plating on the hull is beginning to buckle... Kolya: Is ONI still in pursuit? Trust Officer: Yes...but their ships are out of effective firing range... Kolya: Good enough...prepare the calculations to slip space. On my mark...engage reverse thrusters, bring us to a stop...and begin the transition! Kolya could see that little by little, he was putting more distance between The Ulterior Motive and the rest of the ONI Fleet. Kolya: Full stop! bring the slipspace core online! The Ulterior Motive came to a stop. The emergency thrusters on the front of the ship fired to slow the ship down. The in-atmosphere use of the emergency thrusters cause even further damage to the hull of The Ulterior Motive. Trust Officer: Beginning slip space transition...now! The Ulterior Motive prepared for the transition to slipspace as a rupture began to form in front of the ship. In less than minute, The Ulterior Motive had made the jump, and had escape the battle.

The Draco pulls out of slip space damaged extensively to the forward and the aft sections where there was exposed areas of the ship, parts of the Hull plating appeared to be peeled off of the Draco. Tylan: Damage Report Romanov: Forward and aft sections have lost armor plating, 100 dead, but most are still alive. Decks six through 12 are venting atmosphere and we are evacuating those decks as quick as possible. Power conduits on deck 2 have blown. And our engine units will not respond at all. The ship is dead in the water. Tylan: Captain Haye's sir we need engineering teams sir. We are dead in the water. Decks 6 through 12 have started to vent atmosphere in background you can hear a ship system's voice Ship: Ship is down to 45% atmosphere and dropping at a rate of 3 pounds of pressure a minute. Current estimate in 15 minutes the draco will have no life support. Ship engines are experiencing terminal failure, power on deck 3 has ceased no lives are lost on deck 3. Casualities are at 100 and climbing. Current estimate 12 minutes of distress signal Tylan: You heard the ship, we need help now sir. But get the mission done first we can hold out we've seen worst.

On the Goldbane: One the bridge. William would sit on his command chair. William: Garry, status report! Garry looks shocked, almost scared when reading the reports. Garry: Uhm, sir... It's a chance that the Goldbane may be lost forever. William: What you mean?! Garry: The missiles hit some critical ship systems, it's some alternatives about what might happend; We might float dead in space, Goldbane could blow up, but we'll have good time to evacuate, or the Goldbane could just be as it's now, almost dead in space, but repairable on a somewhat of fast speed. William sighs very deeply as he sinks lower on his chair. William: Garry, send a transmission to Hayes about the status report. Garry: Yes, sir. Garry send the status report to Hayes.

Draco System: Code red alert atmopshere is at 40% and dropping Commander it is advised to abondon ship at this rate Tylan gets on comms Tylan:All hands abondon ships I repeat As the crew got aboard life vessels Galen was about to head out as well as Romanov Galen:Sir you heading to life vessels Tylan: Not this time get to the life vessels until tthe engineering teams get here i will remain onboard Romanov:Then its settled Im staying Galen:Same Ship: Evacuation near complete Ensign Galen LT Commander there is only two places left in vessels please proceed to life veasels Romanov:Negative give them the go ahead As the life vessels departed Ship:Life support is at 41% at this rate 12 minutes there will be no atmosphere locking down bridge for extended atmosphere. I have alerted engineering teams and sent a Priority 1 distress signal

Shadow: The Ulterior Motive has jumped...we lost them. Harrison slammed his fist down on the holographic table. Harrison: Damnit! Damn that man! Harrison looked at the map, he noticed the Draco and Goldbane had both slipped from battle. There were only a handful of Trust ships left. Harrison: Redirect fire onto the remaining Trust ships...do not let anymore jump. And Shadow, status of the Draco and Goldbane? Shadow: Aye, checking now Admiral. Shadow paused. Shadow: Scanning indicates the Goldbane is severely damaged. The Draco is also leaking atmosphere, all life pods have been launch. Harrison leaned on the table. Harrison: Commander Tylan? Shadow: His indicator still shows he is aboard the bridge. Harrison: Send an engineering team with an escort. Get Tylan off his damn ship. Shadow nodded. Harrison stood up straight, staring at the holographic map.

Hayes was very displeased with the fact that Kolya had managed to slip away. He remained silent, with his hands behind his back. Temple: I can track the destination solution if you wish? Hayes: Don't bother...by the time we calculate that...he will of made a second jump, and we will of lost him. I am not going to chase ghosts. Hayes paused. Hayes: Status of The Trust Ships? Temple: The rest of their fleet has been destroyed...with exception to one ship...a Trust Destroyer. it is adrift. Scans show that the ship is still intact, but has lost all of its main power due to severed power conduits. Technically...we could board that ship... Hayes: Interesting proposal... Hayes paused. Hayes: Inform the fleet not to destroy that final ship...but rather keep an eye on it. I think we should pay them a little visit...see whats going on inside the Trust's data networks. Hayes turned and sat down in his command chair. HAWK: Sir...The Goldbane and The Draco have taken significant damage. My scans show that The Goldbane might be salvageable...but the Draco...if we do not act immediately...Tylan's next ship might as well be called The Third Chance... Hayes rubbed his head. He sighed. Hayes: What do we need to do? HAWK: Engineering teams...thats a good start. Hayes: Prep combat engineers...lets see if we can save The Draco.

Kirk was sitting behind his desk. He had some gold colored string tangled in his 2 hands. He was leaning back on his chair, as he gleaned at his terminal screen. Strings of data compiled, line by line. Kirk waited patiently, as the he started forming an Eiffel Tower out of the strings in tangled between his fingers, without looking. Omega was standing behind Kirk. He had his arms crossed, as he stared at the computer screen as well. Omega: What is the point of this... Kirk: I am transferring the data I got from today's test session... Omega: What were you testing exactly... For all I know, you could have just roasted some random nobody...for fun. Kirk: Well, I do take pleasure from the little things in life...but that is besides the point. I want this new product to be fool-proof, for far too long, my inventions have done more harm, than good... Omega: So what are you creating? Kirk: The Kel-505 ODST Harness system. I've taken to calling it, Salamander armor... In essense...Super heat resistant ODST armor. Omega: It's been done. Kirk: Not well enough, Nothing is ever perfect I say! Kirk paused Kirk: It all started when I got hit by that plasma bolt...Do you remember that Omega? Omega: Yes...you drank half your Mardi Gras supply of wine. Kirk laughed Kirk: Yes...I didn't want to drink the rest of my supply, so I decided to perfect fireproof armor. he paused Kirk: But I plan to do more than make fireproof armor... I want people to go swimming in volcanoes with this new armor! Metaphorically speaking, of course. Kirk never removed eye contact from the screen. Kirk: At the very, very least, ODSTS will no longer have to worry about plasma burns... Kirk paused Kirk: Once I find the correct...material. I've considered using some sort of helium infused alloy coating as a base, but to achieve it would require temperatures so low...Troopers will be wishing they were on fire... Kirk chuckled. Kirk: I need to develop something...new. But until then... Kirk continued staring at the computer screen. The analysis on the armor he tested had not yet been completed.
