James awoke at 07:00 Local shaved showered and put on the clothes he had laid out the night before, walked in to the kitchen looked at the clock 07:30 started the coffee maker and went to get his flight bag and the suit bag he had packed. Hung it by the door and went into the kitchen and got the fresh cup of coffee and sat down at the table and drunk his coffee and watched the clock that seem to be stuck at 07:45 he finished his coffee sat the cup by the dish washer checked the clock 07:54 went into the living room grabbed his flight bag and the suit bag and left, went to Thresica apt and pushed the buzzer,


Thresica opened the door, good morning I’ll be ready in a Sezura,

James: ok and waited in the hall,

Jeff exited his room, he was talking on his communicator, Justin followed him out carrying a suit bag in each hand, Jeff put his communicator away and took one of the suit bags from Justin, then walked toward James.

Jeff: are we ready?

James: in a Sezura, Thresica is getting her things.

Jeff: just talked to Mike and Sam they are on the Phoenix 2 waiting for us, See you at breakfast, you want me to take your bag?

James: that’s ok I’ve got it, but thanks anyway, see you soon.

Jeff and Justin entered the lift and were gone.

Thresica walked out with a Large garment bag and a small suit case,

James: tell you what you take my flight bag and I’ll get the garment bag,

Thresica: deal and traded the flight bag for the garment bag, then headed to the lift. Thresica scanned her card. The doors opened and they entered, Thresica selected the docking ring and the doors closed then the lift started.

When the doors opened, Thresica exited and led the way to where the Phoenix 2 was docked and opened the access door and entered, James followed her thru the door and it closed automatically, then the inner door opened and they entered the ship, Chris was there with a drone to get the bags, and sent it to James’ quarters.

Chris: thought you might be loaded down, I had 5 drones when I got here and they have all been busy, they should return to this spot for the next personnel arriving. Lets go to the mess hall.

James: that sounds like a plan. Let’s go.

Chris: led them to the mess hall and they sat down at a Large table that had cups and coffee all ready on it.

James looked around at the dining area then turned to Chris, I like the way you decorated this room it not like the ones we had in the navy.

Chris: I can’t take the credit for this, but I did ok it, it’s more comfortable,

The Stuart walked up and Chris introduced him, as Grover Ball

Grover: good to meet you Mr. Hawk Ms Smith what can I get you for breakfast?

Thresica: some Argon toast and orange juice.

James: a omelet with toast.

Chris: Pancakes with sausage.

Mike: the same please and some orange juice

Sam: a argnu stack and eggs with toast and OJ.

Jeff: the Argon toast and juice.

Justin: I have the stake and eggs also and juice.

Grover: Ill bring a pitcher of Juice and some more coffee,

Chris: James I’m having your ship transferred over along with Thresica’s

James: good I was going to call Jake and have him dock here.

Jeff: Mike can you tell us about the stuff you found yesterday?

Mike: I sent you an message didn’t you get it?

Sam: I did and I wanted to find out when will we check it out?

James: after the station opening.

Sam: you mean today?

James: or tomorrow morning, if Chris thinks the Phoenix 2 is ready?

Chris: she’s ready!

Thresica: I cant I’ve got a full schedule for tomorrow!

James: that’s ok, you can fly back in your ship and we provide an escort if you think you’ll need one.

Thresica: I can take care of my self thank you.

James: then its settled, after the station opening you can fly back.

Grover returned with the Juice, coffee, and glasses, pored the Juice and left.

Jeff: I didn’t check my messages last night, I will after breakfast.

Mike: and we still have the location of the ship in Danna’s Chance to check out, and the one in Farnham’s Legend.

James: looks like we will be busy for a few Tazuras. And we have some new pilots to check out, and I wanted to visit Aladna hill and see if Justin’s friends want to be pilots.

Chris: we have provisions for five Tazuras then I’ll have to send the transport for some more.

Grover returned with the food cart and passed out the meals, checked the coffee and the Juice pitcher took the empty Carafe and left

Grover returned with a fresh carafe of coffee and a pitcher of juice, took the empty juice pitcher and left.
As the gang was finishing up their breakfast, and pored more coffee,

Chris: I’ll be on the bridge. We will undock in 30 Mizuras, then got up drained his coffee and left the mess hall.

James: Thresica will you join me I’m going to the bridge?

Thresica: sure one Sezura, as she finished her Juice, then got up and followed James out of the mess hall.

James led the way to the Bridge hoping that he remembered the way, as luck would have he did and they entered the bridge and took seats by Chris,

James and Thresica leave the bridge.

Randy Humphrey Senior Engineering Officer: I have the bridge eye sir.

Rodger leaves the bridge.

As James and Thresica enter the docking area James notices 4 purity shot up falcons with some pilots checking them out, he walks over sees Malcolm Roth Tm1 Ldr and asks about the falcons,

Malcolm: we were assisting SP who were being engaged by these we captured 3 and Randy from Eagle One got the other, all pilots were captured 1 police cruiser was badly damaged and was escorted back to the station, Randy had one off the pilots and took the engagement report to the SP station.

James: good job, and thank you for the information.

Malcolm: yes sir, your welcome.

James turns and sees Thresica entering the shuttle and hurries to follow, once seated in the shuttle he tells her about the falcons, Chris, Rodger and several other crewmembers fill up the shuttle and it departs to the Wheat Farm.

When the shuttle landed, and the hatch opened James, Thresica, Chris and Rodger exited first to be met by Susan McCormick, Linda Heisman her assistant,

Susan: James I like you to meet Arian McMahon my Station Manager
and Lucille Dejesus the Asst Station Manager

James: greeted then and shook hands, then turned to Susan, is every thing ready?
James noted that his group now included Jeff Mike Sam Justin.

Susan: yes and we have the Mayor and the Commissioner of HOL present along with Terra corp. Personnel. and some others from argon, red light, ore belt, CBSE, and CBSW, and I think some one said they were from Ringo moon. There must be over 600 people here probable just looking for a free meal, as she walks over to Jeff and gave him a hug and a kiss then took his arm and led the way .

James: Ok, I guess it show time lets go. Then follows Susan to the main corroder were all the banquet table were set up and people milling around, James followed Susan and Jeff up to the platform.

They walked up the ramp onto the platform and took seats while Susan went to the podium, and signaled for the mike to be turned on, Susan: Welcome to HOL Wheat Farm I want to thank each and every one of you for coming, and a special thanks to Mr. Hawk of Hawks security for making this possible, thanks to the HOL sector Commissioner for granting us the license to build the station, and to the HOL Mayor for all of his support. Please enjoy our banquet following the caressing ceremony. And back away from the podium.

The Mayor of HOL walked up to the podium made a short speech thanked Hawk Security for building the station and how fewer pirates were traveling thru the sector and expressed his appreciation for the services HS had provided the SP and good wishes for the wheat farm. Then he backed away from the podium and returned to his seat.

Then the Commissioner stepped up to the podium and announced that the station passed all of building inspections, turned and waves Susan forward and presented the official Argon operating license, the crowd applauded as Susan and the Commissioner left the podium, and an announcement was made, Let the Feast begin.

The crowd started for the banquet tables, and the personnel on the platform joined them, the plat form was removed and a large viewing screen was set up, showing the exterior of the station and the ships near by.

James, Jeff and Susan were talking, James: Susan I have some more ships for the TS and will send them over after the pilots have passed their check outs.

Susan: James I love this station I have a filling that it will do good here, and your ships have performed well beyond any expectations I had thank you.

James: your welcome. I guess we had better mingle for a while, I will be leaving soon I have some other things to check on.

Susan took Jeff’s arm and guided him toward the crowd.

James went to find Thresica. Spotted her with Chris and Tracy, walked over to them

James: Hi Tracy glad you are here.

Tracy: hi, I brought some of my crew in our shuttle to check out the area and make plans to bring the Phoenix 1 here.

James: good.

Thresica: we are working our way up to the tables, Susan has done a great job here don’t you think?

James: yes she has,

Chris: I have notified my people that we will be leaving in 2 Stazuras is that ok with you?

James: yes, have someone pass that information to Jeff and Mike ok

Chris: ok

They mingled and made their way to the tables and loaded up with food drinks and snacks,

James and Thresica met the Mayor, the Commissioner, and the sector Police Chief.

The Police Chief thanked James for the intervention this morning and said there was some large bounties on the captured pirates and a reward from Argon for helping the police.

James: just credit it to my accounts and send the reports to Thresica please.

I can do that. Thank you, then the Police Chief turned and left following after the Mayor.

James turned to Thresica I will have your ship sent to the TS, is there any think else you will need?

Thresica: no that will be fine, I depart from here and jump back to PC with Tracy ok.

James: yes and that makes me fill better. Knowing you will have support if needed.

Thresica smiled at James then left said she wanted to talk to Tracy and Susan before she left.

James went to find Jeff, and Mike. He spotted them standing in a small group along with Chris, Sam, Robert, Justin, and Harold.

James: Lets get back to the ship so I can change, and send Thresica’s ship to the TS.

Chris: ok you guys go ahead and I get the pilot and meet on the shuttle.

Chris: launch FTm 1 have Tm 2 go to stand by,

Comms: FTm 1 launched FTm 2 on stand by in 90 Sezuras

James: I’m headed to my ship I’ll contact you when ready to launch, have Jeff , Mike and Sam, prepare to launch. And James left the bridge and ran to his ship, entered, Jake prep to launch, as he straps in to his seat,

Jake: hatch secured, all systems green,

James checked the weapons load out and the scanners, when he had completed the checks he called the bridge, Hawk 1 ready to launch,

Chris, Your flight can launch.

Jake: undocking, exiting ship, Hawk 2 in position 3&4 following,

James noted that Tm 1 was engaging the Falcons, bet were out numbered by 2

James: Mike round up the pilots and secure them, dock and transfer them to the phoenix.

Mike: wilco.

Jake: Tm 1 has captured 3 falcons and destroyed 1 returning to Phoenix, sector clear.

James: Chris set tm 2 as cap, we are RTB over.

Chris: roger RTB.

James: Jeff RTB, jack land on the Phoenix 2.

Jake: roger, tm1 reports that 3 pilots were picked up 1 KIA. Tm 1, status green.

James: Chris set up briefing room, have tm1 report once landed and secured,

Chris: roger Hawk 3,4 inbound,

Jake: entering ship, docking hatch open,

James un strapped and exited the ship Jeff was powering down beside him and the hatch opened, Jeff exited and walked up to James, good shooting boss, Justin wont stop raving about your engagement, I told him to watch and learn. Left him to secure the ship.

James: good, lets go to the briefing room, James led the way.

Upon entering the briefing room James noted that Mike , Sam, Chris, Bryan and Carman were present, James took a seat and Jeff sat down beside him,

Chris: the captured pilots are secured in the brig, Tm 1 will be arriving any Sezura, Drinks are available on the table to the rear of the room, Hubert will serve them,

Hubert on key, started taking orders and poring drinks for those who requested them.

Malcolm Roth Tm1 Ldr, Monica Morse, Buzz Solidthunder, Val Peterson, Samuel Thunderslate, Drake Corbett entered the briefing room and found seats.

Hubert finished delivering orders and left the room and the door was secured.

Chris: you all did well out there, I will have Carman run the engagements, lets watch them and make notes on how they went, then we will critique them, any questions? There were none

Carman ran the tapes showing entering sector and the ships that turned to intercept the Phoenix 2, the launching of Tm 1, and Hawks 1-4, then switched to show Roth’s engagement of tgt 1, Morse’s engagement of tgt 2, Buzz’s engagement of tgt 3, then tm 1 switch the win men took over as lead, and Val engaged tgt 4 Samuel engaged tgt 5 and Drake engaged tgt 6. then showed James engagement of tgt 8 and Mike’s engagement of tgt 7,

The comment: Samuel ask James how does he take out the ship so easy?

James: me and my AI work together, I fly and dodge incoming fire while maintaining contact with the tgt ship, he uses the weapon systems to take down the tgt’s shields.
Till the pilot ejects, then caps the ship and ejects the contraband and destroys it.

Samuel: I’ll have to try that. I’m not use to the AI I’ve got, it not like the one we had in the navy.

James: no its not its much better, we refined it our self’s for the fighter you have,

James; are there any more questions?

James: ok to day we are going to take out the Pirate Base here, and I’ll let mike show you how we are going to do it, but first take a break while we get the security leader to join us. Chris will you call the security chief please.

Chris: be glade to.

10 Mizuras later Erick Jennings, Security Chief, Scott Mattingly Tm1 Ldr and Nancy Wright Tm 2 Ldr arrived, and took seats. And the others took there seats,

Mike: Hi, I’m going to lay out the plans for taking out the station, take notes and we go over them after the briefing ok, no one committed, Mike showed a slide of the sector where the station was located, he pointed out the four laser towers and the safe route between them, this is how our security forces will get thru, a plot showed on the screen, once thru they will send a coded transmission to the station that will open the docking doors, as they enter the dock another transmission will be sent cutting the power to the LT & security systems off, then they will be broken down to four groups and transported to four locations within the station, the power will be down and if they have emergency lighting it will be on, once the engine room and bridge is secure, the ships will move in taking out any fighters that manage to get out, the coded messages will show as a complete failure of the power and life support systems, so there will be a lot of confusion on the station, and we want to use that to our advantage, I will be taking some new battle drones that I enhanced, and each group will carry 5 stun grenades with them. try to capture the personnel, use deadly force if need to protect your self’s. there will be women and children on the station, secure them and segregate them. any question?

Erick: do we have the number of personnel on the station?

Mike: No

Erick: can we get additional personnel from Eagle One to help with the captured persons,
I have 29 security personnel a station like that could hold 200 at full capacity. And I suggest we hit them mid morning most pirate’s prowl at night and sleep during the day.

Mike: James can we get more security people?

James: I check stands and leaves the briefing room. Heads to his ship and sends a message to eagle one and Phoenix 1 asking if they could send there security personnel to Phoenix 2 Tracy responded first If I can come with them, and I will need to take a shuttle from HQ along with my Tm 1 for escort, James: that’s fine with me, let me know when you depart.

Tracy: Give me 3 Stazuras and I’ll be there.

James roger.

Harold: ok and I see if I can get some from the TS also give me 3 Stazuras and I’ll let you know.

James decided to call Ban Danna, and let him know what he was planning, Jake get me a secure line with Commander Danna, and Josh.

Jake: roger, I have Josh on the line,

James: Josh how are you,

Josh: taking it easy, you doing ok?

James: yes I’m planning to crash a party in the morning you want to come?

Josh: I would love to but my plate is full at the moment.

James: ok just thought I’d invite you.

Josh: thanks maybe next one ok, give me more notice and I can plan for it.

James: roger I’ll keep you informed.

Josh: good, Bye and disconnects.

Jake: Commander Danna on line,

James: Ben I’m calling to let you know that I am planning a raid for tomorrow morning, and may have a lot of people for you to sort out.

Ben: is this near you new station?

James yes you want to join in?

Ben Love to I’ve got some support laying around can I come and meet with you this evening?

James that will be fine, I’m on Phoenix 2, come on over and I’ll treat you to dinner,

Ban: deal see you soon, out

James: looked at his watch 4:00 pm local, Jake let me know if any messages from Tracy, Harold, or Ben come in ok

Jake: wilco

James left the ship and went back to the briefing room.

James entered the room and told Mike to hold the briefing till after dinner around 8:00 local, we have more people to brief.

The group broke up.

James and Chris went back to the bridge, James I have contacted Tracy and Harold, and Ban Danna who will be hear soon, Tracy is bringing her Ftm 1 and two Shuttles, Harold will bring his and some personnel from the TS should be arriving in 3 Stazuras, lets keep an eye open for them, and lets move further out toward the West gate.

Chris: ok Ill have some Bunks set up in the open storage areas.

James good Idea,

5:45 local

Ccmms: Captain we have a request to dock from an argon shuttle from Argon one,

Chris: let them dock, Ill meet them on the docking bay. Lynn you have the bridge, comms call James to the landing bay.

Lynn: aye I have the bridge.

Comms: Mr Hawk to the landing bay aye.

Chris leaves the bridge and heads to the docking area.

James meets Chris on the landing bay as the argon shuttle arrives and lands, as the hatch opens and Commander Danna exits the ship with several other officers with him.

James: welcome Commander

Ban: James I’ve brought some of my commanders to listen to your plans, the rest of the personnel will jump in the morning,

James: good lets have dinner the briefing is scheduled for 8:00 pm Local.

Ban: good I missed lunch to day. Then he introduced the personnel he brought with him, James this is Col Howard Winston commander of a marine battalion and His Four Commanders, Col John Ferguson Commander of a Special assault force and his four commanders, Col Leslie Goodman commander of a special operation Battalion and her four commanders.

James: its good to meet you enjoy your dinner then we lay out our planes for you. This is the Captain of this ship Chris Johnson Some of you may know him from the Navy most of my personnel were from the services, follow us and we will show you our dinning facility. Ban your flight crew is welcome to join us.

Ban: Thank you Ill’ let them know. And he sends an Capt. to inform the flight crew.

Chris leads the way as the rest of the group follows.

The dinning facility was fully staffed, and the 4 Stewarts started taking orders as soon as the people took seats, as other personnel were delivering trays of coffee and cups to the tables,

Ban: I like the decor, It makes the place more relaxing.

James: That’s what I told Chris the first time I saw it.

Ban: Good Job Chris

Chris: I just gave my people some le-way and they did a good job with the furnishings.

Grover approached the table and sat down the carafe of coffee and passed out cups , then pored the coffee; Commander Danna can I take your order?

Ben: Can I have an argnu stake and salad,

Grover: How do you want it cooked? And would you like potatoes with it and dressing for the salad

Ben: medium, fries and ranch dressing.

Grover very good, and you Col (Grover looks at his name plate) Winston ,

Col Winston The Same Med well ,

Grover; what can I get for you Col Ferguson,

Col Ferguson: That sounds good I try it too, Medium Rare ok French dressing.

Grover: thank you, and what would you Like Col Goodman,

Col Goodman: Stake Medium Rare, Ranch, Backed Potato with Sour cream and butter,

Grover: Thank you: Mr Hawk would you like your usual ?

James: that will be fine thank you.

Grover: Mr Collins what would you like tonight,

Jeff: stake medium well fries chef salad with ranch dressing.

Grover: very well and you Mr Strong?

Mike: the same as Jeff

Grover: ok I’ll get that started, then I’ll bring more coffee.

As they were talking Sam and Rodger stopped by and greeted the guests, then found a table and sat down with some of the crew.

Chris’ communicator beeped and he answered it, Chris: James Tracy and her people are inbound,

James: ok have them join us .

Chris: roger.

Grover returned shortly with the cart loaded with the meals, passed them out asked if they needed anything else, then left

Tracy: stopped by greeted everyone then joined her crew for dinner.

General comment were made on the food and how good it was Ben sent complements to the chef, Small talk was made and coffee was passed around as the dishes were collected, desert was offered,

Col Winston ask if there was time for a tour of the ship?

Chris: sure I take you thru her. Then led the group out.

James, Jeff and mike were left at the table, Mike: how many people and support ship are they bringing?

James: I have no ideal< I would guess a couple of frigates and support ships.

Mike: if the pirates see that kind of group jump in it may alert them.

James: then we will have to time there jump in after we are on board the station, I was thinking of moving the Phoenix to HOL and send in the shuttles thru the north gate with a 4 ship escort, that seems to be what most of the transports I’ve seen enter the sector do. And your ships can enter thru the north gate, that will put you nearer to the station.

Mike: I like that better, then when we are in I’ll send a signal for you and the rest to jump in close to the station I can drop a sat near the station in stand by watching for the power to drop then go active and sent the coordinates to you.

James: that will work. You got an half Stazura to refine the plan, before we present it to Ban.

Mike: ok I’ll get to work, on it I’ll take Tracy with me she has a knack for tactics. then he left.

At 8:00 PM Local the briefing room filled , the door was closed.

Mike: there have been some minor changes maid to the plan, the Phoenix will be moving to HOL shortly and we will start our operations from there, this is how it will go forces from the Navy will join up with the phoenix before 08:00 and the strike force will meet in the docking area and load the shuttles, the shuttles along with 4 escorts will head to the south gate and enter OB then they will follow this route ( he shows the sector map with the route outlined on it ) till they reach the penetration point here ( shows a closer view of the LT and the dead zone for the LT’s ) the escorts will stay at that point and 1 will move here ( shows the spot for the fighter) when he gets the signal from the infiltration team he will drop a navigation satellite so the rest of the strike forces can jump in. The penetration forces will enter the station with the codes that we have and secure the engine room and kill the power, the force that transports to the bridge will secure it the remainder of the forces will secure the docking area and wait for the support forces before securing the rest of the station, the forces in the engine room will also be responsible for securing the armory that is near by. Deadly force is authorized but try to capture if possible, once the station personnel have been secured and moved to the waiting shuttles, they will be moved to the holding ship and secured, then a special team will enter the station and search for traps and auto defense weapons, once that is done, I will have the power restored and down load a new station AI to take control of the station, I will let Commander Danna explain what forces will support us.

Ban: stands and says we have 1 battalion of Marines 1 battalion of Special Forces and 1 Support battalion, consisting of 3 Frigates 4 Cruisers and two Troop carriers that have been set up to carry prisoners, I’ll let Col Winston and Col Ferguson take it from here.

Col Winston stood up: I have a battalion of Marines that will be assisting in the evacuation of the station personnel and non combatants once the station is secured, I hope that we can take the station with minimal losses, I will be meeting with the rest of my staff tonight and we will link up at 08:00 in HOL, Good luck to all of you. He sat back down,

Col Ferguson stood up, I would like a company of special forces to assist in securing the station, and a platoon to go with the penetration group to secure the docking bay, for the company, can you work tat into your plan?

Mike: how large is the platoon?

John: 21 personnel,

Mike: I can work that in for you.

John: Ill have the Platoon leader report to you this evening along with the company commander. Then he sat back down,

Then Col Goodman stood, I will be providing the transports and troop carriers for the operation, I also have 4 cruisers to provide security for the group, we are short on fighters but I under stand the you have 20 Fighters available if needed?

Mike: yes we have 30 Fighters if needed, and cane have 12 more here very quick if needed.

Col Goodman: that’s good thank you, then she sat back down,

Mike: are there any questions, there were none,

Chris: the Phoenix 2 has jumped, and we are approaching Eagle one in the HOL sector.

The group rose and started leaving the briefing room,

Ban: good luck James, I’ll talk to you after the events tomorrow.

James: have a safe trip and I’ll contact you tomorrow.

James followed the group to the landing bay, watched them load up and depart.
