The ship was struck again as Read was carried off. "Alright bring us about and fire at will!" I command and watch our ion cannons bounce off their shields and finally hull. "Fleet status!" she commanded. "Two vessels destroyed. 3 more heavily damaged, one being the Valiant which is a hulk. The enemies have lost 8 vessels and have 5 damaged." "Looks like our greater numbers are helping some. Operations and matinece get that boarding ship of of our side. What is the status of security breach?" "They have been defeated. 10 casualties reported, 14 wounded." "Alright, charge torpedoes and ready an attack on the lead vessel."

I open my eyes and see the medical bay lights. "No! They need me!" I say sitting up. "No" calls the Medical Chief holding me down "you need time to...well I'll be damned. Your wounds are gone. Ten minuets ago you had a fractured skull.." by the time he had finishes I am gone. I move along the sparking corridor pulling on my coat. "All Marine forces, all ships prepare for ground assault!" I call into my wrist communicator. Moments later I stand in the shuttle bay my men around me. "I know we have lost a few but the ship is safe now, the planet is our next task. We will make plans once we reach the surface. Two fighters will cover each of the three shuttles. Tank units will follow. Any questions? Okay then lets move out!" I seat myself in the back end of the shuttle. The drop ship was standard. Two benches facing each other with 7 men on each side. I fell us lift away from the deck as the shuttles and escorts move forward. The ships are now far closer to the planet and time is perfect. Our shuttle leads the group. Two fighters pull up beside us and escort us threw the atmosphere. As the sky around us forms the drop shuttle begins to shake from stress. Some rookies look worried. He laughed remembering his first ground battle. Of course he was very different. These men are just that, men. The veterans used to it polish, check and load their weapons. "Heading for the rendezvous point!" Calls out the pilot from the cockpit area. The ship finally sets down and the back opens letting us out onto the surface. I smell the air and see the long green grass, the tropical landscape and almost forget why I am here. I make my way over to a table set up by technicians already as more shuttles land, pouring out thousands of men into the now populated area. Tanks units follow transforming to ground move as it lands. "Alight men" I say to the other commanders "our target is the capital city, no doubt where they have the central grid for the planet bound troops. We smash it, we win. Understand?" They nod as Lt Commander Michaels speaks. "We could take them from all sides surround them." "Thats standard" I reply "they will expect that, no you are forgetting preliminary defenses. I think all Beta Group squads can take out the outer bases and defense. While there are off guard Alpha group charge in to the city. Lets get moving people!"

All of the Victory's fighters launch and head into battle.
"DIABLOS to all fighter, form up on Me and and get ready to head into that Shitstorm!!!!!"
All 32 Raven Class Fighters form up into an Arrowhead formation behind Me and get ready for a fight.
"Victory, this is Bladestorm, all fighters launched and heading into battle, we'll take some of the heat of You."
"DIABLOS to all fighters, break off into 4 Flights of 8 and attack the lead ship in precise strafing runs across the most vulnerable sections.
And watch for defensive fire and enemy fighters."
The 32 Raven Class Fighters breakoff from the Arrowhead and form 4 flights of 8 and prepare for their attack runs on the lead ship.
The first Flight lead by Me prepares for their attack run.
"DIABLOS to Flights 2, 3 and 4, watch for enemy fighters and reinforcements.
First Flight, were going it so watch for defensive fire and do the maximum damage You can."
The First Flight lead by Me begins its attack run, dodging enemy defensive fire and scoring multiple hits and cause multiple explosions.
They are closely followed by the Second, Third and Fourth Flight who also score multiple hits, and soon the lead ship has major damage and in a bad way.
"Raven 12 to DIABLOS, enemy fighters spotted at 186.4 by 215.3, confirmed number is 20 and they seem to have spotted us and are readying for an attack."
"DIABLOS to Raven 12, then lets not give them a chance.
All fighters, New target is at co-ordinates 186.4 by 215.3, number is 20, take no prisoners and they are just tin cans waiting to become scrap metal."
All 32 Raven Class Fighter head for the specified co-ordinates to turn the enemy fighters into scrap metal.

OOC: its 32 ravens btw, the ship has 2 bays each with 16 ravens.
IC: I watched as the last of my officers filed off the bridge and went to the emergency bridge. I had opted to stay on the bridge till it couldint be held any longer. Strideing forward i used the sub-space com relay to speak live with my command crew. =COM= Alright, bring her about 30 degrees to port. Target the Heavy Cruiser bearing down on us. Fire all weapons on ful attack, and order our small craft to bring its escorts down. =COM=
Smileing i watch with grim satisfaction as our weapons bite into the cyber ship and peal back its armor. When it returns fire i grimice as i see a few of my turrets destroyed, and as a blot crashes into the command tower. Cuting me off from escapeing the bridge, and shuting down power. I am thrown from my standing position to a heap in a broken console. After a moment i looks up and see the rest of the bridge badly damaged. And the com link destroyed. Looking around i groan as i pass out on the deck of my nearly destroyed bridge...

"Captain! We have an unexpected gusset!" My Tactical officer called out to me from his sensor sweeps. "I didn't notice it, till it was too late! Sir they are boarding! Breach on Deck 3!" He added as I past him on my way to the transport-shaft.
I glared at him. "Your coming with me. Commander Lemire, and Lt. Campbell, and Lt. Tucker." I didn't have to tell the last three. They knew what I wanted and they didn't teak their time to follow. We got to deck three, rather what was left of deck three. Those robots completely destroyed everything. Deck three had about 100 officers. All dead. Thats when we saw them. 1 Command Unit and 10 C-400 Attack Units, or C-40's for short.
I pulled out my pistol, the other 4 pulling out their guns. 2 rifles, 2 Rapid Fire, 'Rapers' as I called them, my pistol and my sword. Thats a fair fight. "Fire!" I called and blasts wear everywhere. The noise was defining. We had found shelter from the Cybers, via a broken sealing panel, and a torn down door.
The guns stopped firring, the dust cleared and the debrie settled. Lt. Matthews was dead. Lt. Tucker lost his hand, Lt. Campbell quickly bandaged it. My commander, Valerie Lemire, a young woman, some years younger stood up, she was brushing her uniform of the rubble. She stopped and looked at me. Strait into my eyes. "Dear God" She whispered.
I couldn't figure out why she said that. She took 6 gasps of breath, after that, for me to become aware of the silver blade protruding from her chest. It was the last of seven stabs. It retreated its self back into her chest and she fell to the ground, reveling the siluwet of a Command Unit. "That was the last human you are going to kill!" I shouted to it.
"Incorrect Biological bipedal animal." I smirked. ~How cute. last words.~ I thote as I lunged for it. My blade aimed for its 'head'. But it tossed me to the side. Instantly breaking 3 of my ribs and then busting my right shoulder on the wall. He stepped on my leg. Sliced it open and then shot the wound. The pain was unbearable, then I noticed she was still alive. Bleeding everywhere, coughing on her own blood. But still alive, the poor girl. I would not let her suffer.
Its head exploded from the projectile of my pistol. It never had a chance at this range. Glad I was ambidextrous when it came to guns. I dragged my self to her body, still moving. My right arm raised in pain, and came wobbly down. Her hair fell into a puddle of blood. The head lay there, next to its owners body. I finally collapsed, hoping that she would have thanked him, had she bin able too.

=COM=Captain, your orders?=COM= I asked over the comm. no response. =COM=Sir, are you there=COM=. still nothing.~DAMN!~ I thought.~something must have happened~. =COM=Sir, if you don't reply, we are going to assume the worst, and I will be taking command of the ship=COM=. I waited,and heard nothing. "Ops, scan the main bridge area. What kind of damage is there?" I ordered."The command tower is damaged. i can't tell the extent of it." Came the reply. ~ok, the Captain is possibly passed on, i need to take command~ I thought. "Keep the weapons synchronized with the Victories, but put us on an elevation of 20 degrees." I ordered.~Remember Will, if the Captains till alive you have to relinquish command~ i reminded myself, still having hope that the Captain Seafort is still alive.

=COM=Captain Roddenberry, We are being haild, Its DIABLOS sir He is requesting some extra fighters.=COM= Came a voice from the panal on the wall. I reached out for it, but could not reache it. I tryed calling out for a doctor, but all that came out wear moans. =COM=Sir? Are you ther?=COM= Came the voice again. It sounded like Lt. Columbus. I couldent move. All I could do was hope that he would clue in and get a doctor. =COM=Captain!=COM= He yelled, but I still could not respond.
The com whent silent. Nothing hapend. It was quiet. It was dark. I could feal my self drift into sleep. I was dieng and ther was nobody around. Campbell and Tucker ran, they wherent in fighting condition, after seeing the Command unit. The unit, destroied, laying beside me. The body of my former Executive Officer, and her severd head. And finaly Matthews, dead. Everything whent blank.
I awoke in the Health Bay. The doctor stood above me. A young man stood next to him. He began to speak. "Sir, Lt. Columbus tryed contacting you erlyer. but you had colapesed. He contacted the doctor and I came to help. I'm your Tactical Officer, Lt. Phillip Cloudrider. Well anyway. He was trying to tell you that the fighter pilot commander of the Victory need some back up. Well I'm here to tell you that we sent out half of our Flight bay.

"The Dauntless has taken heavy damage Captain" come s communications officer Mid shipman Hiku's voice. "Cover them and fire!" I order and see disrucpters bounce into a carrier setting it on fire and with aid of other vessels is destoyed. I sigh and look back at Hiku. "what is the report from the surface?" "They have begun their assault mam." I take my chair and turn to him again "Inform the Apollo to give aid to the Dauntless. And Contact the Enterprise." "Aye mam, Victory to Apollo...."

I proceed threw the long grass toward my target. Slow and ever ready. Behind me are my two recruits, Pearson just ahead of Rican. I hear the sound of whirling metal and duck signaling for them to do the same. Just center meters from us a battle unit 400 walks twirling its head around in search like a surveillance camera. I raise my hand and with my fingers count three. On my third finger I launch forward knocking the weapon from its hand and rolling down with it as the others raise their weapons. "Take the shot!" I call.

Flames eroupted on part of the bridge and smoke began to fill the bridge even as the repair droids finaly arrived. They did what litle they could and sent a standard man down message across the ship to inform the crew of their captains condition. But cut off from the rest of the ship there was nothing anyone could do, and the captain was very alone...
Groaning I look up and see a hovering fire suppression droid above me. "Droid.... Help me up" The droid quickly lowers down and allows me to pull myself up with it. Standing unsteadily i stumble to my wrecked command chair and lean back to watch the battle from my seat. Fighters turn to fireballs everywhere, and i watch as my ship contenues to fight alongside the Victory. Luckily the command tower was the only part of the ship that was truely damaged.
I watch as Frigate after Cyber Frigate gets destroyed. But grimice as a few of our own ships bite the dust. And as boarding craft slam home on my ship. When sudddenly a command pod slams into the tower and its exit point slams into the bridge only feet from me. Looking at it i watch as 8 so called "Command gaurd" or "red gaurd" droids leep down from it, along with a black clad ship commander. Seeing me and my repair droids it scans me and finding my captains marks approaches, its gaurds faning out around the room...
Looking into its eyes, or what are made to "look" like eyes. I say "And what are you doing on MY bridge?" It laughs and says "You are like all humans, weak and foolish. This is my bridge now, you are going to be probed and what you know will be used against your people. Know that you will be kept along with the others we have and will capture, to watch your knowlage being used to destroy your people." Standing to his full height he deploys his four arms and draws a qaurtet of blades, spining them around and crouching. "Fancy, but i think mines better... Meet you in hell" I say as i press the bridge self destruct key and close my eyes. After a moment i open them and peek at the now 'smileing' cyber. "Wireless hack? Or did the engineers forget to repair that faulty wire?" I say. It laughes "Hahaha, funny, your plan didin't work, so human, are you coming, or must we force you?" I slowly stand and draw my personal side arm. "No, you didin't say please. So you can go to hell"
In a split secend he was chargeing and i was fireing, suddenly sound escaped me, sence escaped me, all i could do was fire and see the flashes of my side arm going off. Everything slowed down and i could see each round tear through its chest, even as my barrel met its chest i fired again. It struck. Sending me into a nearby console. But i simply coughed out blood to the side, rose and fired again, and again, and again. Three rounds tore one of its arm motivators apart and it fell off. But it punched me in my stomach, I doubled over, but rather then fall i charged right at him, and with what litle enhancements i had, i smashed him into a console, pined him and empty the last 3 shells of my side arm into his head...
OOC: again sorry if thats storyish.

On his third finger he launch forward knocking the weapon from its hand and rolling down with it as the others raise their weapons.
"Take the shot!" he calls, and I have absoloutley no objection, because in that instant its body was severed by a blast.
"Wow, its almost as though they are getting stupider sir." Samuels claims,
"There must be others." he says looking around in the immeadiate vacinity.

I look on at the space battle still rages. "Are you there Enteprise?" she says into the communication system. "The Channel is open" says Hiku.

"I don't know! I've been in my damn Health bay for the past hour. After saving my ships own ass. All I know is that half my fighters have gone to help your fighters." I said groaning in pain again.
