Is this what war in space is like?
By the time the shuttle reached the landing bay the entire houl was full of mechanical wepons with pilots slowly adjusting to the new toys.
There was no space to land so they had to park in the storage room.
The Jell-o people have integrated into the ship and so far no issues have been detected. But we detected to make secondery options without their excess throughout. This took a week as the ship finally went back on track to being a fully human contraled vesal with extra trilon nano sized guests who moved into minor and less invasive areas of electronics and machinery.
With thier help our life become more intrusive.
As for Zealand the self inmortant star eating tiny little dinosaur. He was a permanent pet toy and Nightlight as of now... he is under the dogs constant diligent care.
His mental ability is still very sporadic and has been noted by some to effect everything.
He is basically a relopath with menses ability to be used as a party light. And as such named Funky Exavier after the mutant by some.Hope still says that he is Nitelight . So the debate is on.
During this time we fully explored the two ships that we have been towing and decided to keep one as a recognize and infiltration until as it appears that it had a stealth effect.
The geeks are all over that and are in progress of building our own.
I was jogging in the hallway slowly glancing behind me to check on my morning jogging partner.
GRAFF The dog was dragging his chew toy as he gave me company.
(Bark hey big alfa human I got him. So don't worry about it) was written on his happy face.
Sudenly the ship shook and the sirens blared.
"RED ALERT! ....BEEP ... BOO...
The coputer cleared all decs.
"all personal to stations"
"we are under attack"
Heavy gravity hit harder as the ship tilted and began to roll.
I sprinted to the bridge at top speed.
"I'm sending out additional personal info major areas" Sniper girl just updated me as today she was on duty as my second. Only because he was already heading to his personal robot to be the external defense.
This was implemented as a change in the crews due to an additional militery group that became available due to the addition of the Gundams. Since I nor her were chosen by the machine to be a pilot I decided to put him in charge of this area. Habib was perfect. For this job.
" metal wings are ready for action " Habib anounes over the intercoms as I burst into the comand center.
"Wait for my order " Picard ordered sternly.
"They are fighting a over in sector 17. We were hit by a stray shot of the main battery.
By our trajectory readings I suspect that the shot missed its original target and managed to hit us by a total fluke" the science offiser explained.
"They don't have tracking on that weapon. " a machenic added.
On the screen we saw two large forses lined up against each other like some kind of shooting line.
No one was making any flanking or awaisive action. The two groups just simply shot at each other at point blank range.
"What is this? Are we in Napolitan era?" Someone bleared out in fasination.
No Metter how long we stared or waited for someone to realized that this fight was in open space not on a flat ground. We didn't see any changes in tactics... they didn't even try to use the big ships like cannons or the small ships like calvary.
No this was not even war.
Not even boxing where one punches as the other to the same.
its more of a slapfast.
They even took turns.
One side slaps the cheek than stops to let the other counter.
We even ordered everything to stop and for the entire crew to drop the red alert and to come see this spectacular display of absolute mockery of fighting.
Habib arrived and was just frozen with a pure comfused look on his face.
The conflict lasted for several hours and nether side was doing anything to change the way this war was wasting ships by the dosen.
We could never fight like this!
If this was how space combat was handled humanity was not going to be concord in a billion years. Because we were absolutely sure that they fight on ground in the same way.
It's just sad to see as a super smart creature only knows how to use their basic physical attacks.
It's like trying to fight a kid who only knows how to punch straight with one hand only and nothing else. While you have a full arsenal at your disposal and years of training.
The porch kid will have no way to win no matter how much he tries.
" Um captain should we try to stop this since this whole fight is going to be over ones the ships that we tow are handed over. " the pilot suggests.
"What's the status of the invisibility?" Picards tone didn't answer.
" if we hit hear we could help tip the balance and even apply pressure to both sides to at least temporarily stop the fight" I pointed to the two main ships who were literally physically pushing each other like some kind of armless sumo wrestlers.
The two behemoths were using thier great sise to push the other around. No they were not ramming each other. What they did was more like just gently shoving.
A big beer belly fight? ?? Huh??
"Give us two more hours as we made it work but it would only work if we didn't move.
In order to make sure that we can use during combat more time is required sir. A female tone answered Picards order.
" Understood .... ok all hands all stop and Activate the camouflage. " he added.
Several sessions passed...
"Stealth is activated. " engineering anonsed.
"ITS TIME TO KNOCK ON THIS GALAXYS DOOR !" Picard rored out in exitement.
