Regular business day. A trip to Neptunus. As usual, I was granted a one minute visit. In my opinion that is quite generous for an Enemy of Sol. Nevertheless, my exodus failed (again). Predictably the Terran RRF shows up, takes fire, and leaves. So shields to recharge, some loot to collect. Profitsss.
Then Odin appears with Aegirs and Valis. I do know that Odin surveys his dominion, so the appearance of the travelling party is not entirely odd. Appearance from South Gate of Neptunus was a surprise though. One more RRF Tokyo jumps in too.
An Odin with full escort is a serious adversary. Add Tokyo and the red team has plenty of guns. I had no choice but to see how far I can go. The Odin was nearest; Compute a firing solution!
Once Odin had fallen, all the rest were still far away. Possibly a traffic jam at the Gate? The Terrans abhor AGI, but their gerbil-equivalents are no better. Possibly worse, due to inflated ego-bounding boxes.
There were shots. There were missiles. There were explosions. Not by me. Not at me. No blue ships in sight. No Pirates, no Xenon, no Commonwealth. And yet all of the red team was taking damage.
I wish I'd know how the Terran RRF and ATF Military decided to dislike each other that much. Who was the first to be offended?
Skirmishes between factions are a well known event, but seeing one between Terran and ATF was nice.
In the end the two parties failed to kill each other. There was an intervention by yours truly, with lethal force.
