Chapter 16: Thyn's Abyss

Kaitrin shook her head almost imperceptibly in response to his questioning look and her dark, flashing eyes warned against asking again. There had been no signal in the last ten minutes and if there had been she would have mentioned it. Dammit. Sir. Corrin smiled inwardly as Max, blithely unaware of the nuance, again reminded her to tell him as soon as the base assault force reported in.

“It’s been twenty hours,” Max snapped, “we should have heard something by now.” They had heard nothing but on the positive side there had been no sign that the Teladi Navy was preparing to take an interest in the attack. Max half expected Morn to concoct some anti-clan pretext to send a deep space task force to intercept the assault ship but there was no indication of any such movement on the deep space scanners and nothing in the news, just more pronouncement on the culpability of Daht’s people in the loss of the Scale Plate Green relief convoy and the imminence of arrests. The more excitable sections of the media were already speculating on the possibility of civil war, a possibility dismissed with derision by more sober and better-informed commentators. It was an analysis with which Xela concurred, despite plotting large-scale fighter movements across Teladi sectors, including several big wings tracked escorting a freighter convoy through Chin’s Clouds. Another supply convoy for Black Hole Sun.

Excellent read, Steve ... have been starving for this :D

Good battle, looks like Max just made it there and yes, somebody appears to not only have stirred up the Xenon but also advanced their combat capabilities.

Now this last wave of fighters could be Max's saviour but could also be quite leathal.

Looking forward to the next chapter. Will be interesting to see how he gets his ships into savety.

Great stuff Steve. Looks like Max is in trouble again but I guess he's used to it by now :)

Might be a couple of typos in there but I'll need a second read when I have more time

probably depends on how many of them still have weapons and shield systems. However, he does not want to risk the first shot and neither should he really be asking for trouble in general. Perhaps that Mamba pilot and friends of his come to his rescue. We'll find out ... hopefully sooner than later :D yoou hear that Steve? :wink:
