The WolfStar Chronicles: Chapter 2
We rejoin WSR as CMDR GoatChops is in hyperspace back toward Wolf 906. After the events of our previous adventure CMDRs GoatChops and Silverware were forced to cool their jets over in Wolf 896 (again) whilst the misunderstanding with the Feds cleared up (again). GoatChops - ready to sortie for some credits was hoping to start the day with an easy escort mission or two before sinking his teeth into something a bit tougher. Preferably with a good wingman along for safety. Unfortunately the only available wingman in the cluster was Silverware09 (Seriously recruitment is open
) . Sighing to himself GoatChops opened up his comms link:
Silverware: (Over brightly) Hey dude, how are you?
GoatChops: (with suspicion) What have you done?
Silverware: (barely suppressed laughter) I kinda maybe blew up Cornflakes
GoatChops: (amused)... How...
Silverware: (more barely suppressed laughter) Some fancy piloting, some explosions happened, I think its best if he describes it honestly
Note: The WolfStar Raiders would like to point out that the attitudes displayed by both Silverware and GoatChops is not in keeping with The WSR values of loyalty and respect toward fellow WSR members. Unfortunately it is very much in keeping with the general mind set and skill level of the WSR rank and file.
GoatChops: (snickering) Okay, I am short a few credits and am keen for some work.
Silverware: (outright laughter) Funny you should say that because I have just picked up a random signal - looks like a wreck, shell we?
Reunited and in wing together GoatChops and Silverware set off toward a strong signal source out in the middle of Wolf 906. Dropping from super cruise they set about investigating the wreckage only to find it mostly intact with the cargo floating unclaimed around it. This was despite the wreck showing clear signs of battle damage:
GoatChops: This is odd
Silverware: 2x Sensor readings, known pirates - THEY ARE IN LIGHT FRIGATES! (Anacondas)
GoatChops: Ambush!
Within seconds CMDR GoatChops found his ship (that was dead in space so he could investigate the wreck) targeted by both pirates, and nearly blown out from under him (24% hull left)! Silencing his alarms and putting full power to engines he boosted away just in time to avoid 2 plasma bolts (I kid you not, they must melted the paint on the way past).
CMDR Silverware, with a cry of "Tally ho!" and what can only be described as manic laughter, floored it
toward the pirates and hooked in behind them while they chased GoatChops. Thus began 5 minutes of the most intense dog fight CMDRs GoatChops and Silverware have been in together. 5 minutes which I will now attempt to render onto you in point form:
- Silverware hooked in behind the Anaconda's and started targeting their drive systems
- Meanwhile GoatChops played a dicey game of cat and mouse, trying to stay close enough to keep the Anacondas interested in killing him, but not so close they could actually kill him
- The Feds dropped into the fight and upon seeing Pirates vs The WolfStar Raiders (
"Is there a difference?" - On site Federal Force Commander) contented themselves with securing the wreckage
- The Feds crack open beers (we assume) and start laying bets on which WSR pilot will blow up first
- GoatChops ask what the odds are, the Feds don't respond
- Silverware successfully disables the drive unit of one of the Anacondas, both Anaconda's target him in response
- Silverware ask what the odds are now, the feds still don't respond
- Silverware becomes the mouse while GoatChops turns in and targets the power plant of the disabled Anaconda successfully causing it to explode due to damage.
- Not wanting to be shown up by WSR the Feds close betting and move in to finish off the second Anaconda
- GoatChops and Silverware quit the field 200k richer each.
After repairing, rearming and (most importantly) turning in their bounty vouchers, CDMRs Silverware and GoatChops headed back out, proud citizens of Wolf 906 and prouder still of their status as
WolfStar Raiders!
We actually got up to a heap more then what I have written here, so much so it was hard to choose what to write about! I hope you enjoyed this write up and I hope you see you in space with us.
