Chapter 3 - Digging Deeper

Location: USS Mariana

The light and solar radiation from the B-class star which was 6 times larger then the sun was shining and hitting Jace's back as he continued to work on the hull of the destroyer. Due to a malfunction to his radio system he couldn't receive the emergency message sent to the rest of the crew of his starship and soon wonder why he was the only one still working lifting up his wrist and seeing that the watch on his wrist shows that he still had almost 2 hours to go " they must have went to take a break , I'll finish my shift fir- " shifting to his left The only thing Jace seen was several warheads hit the destroyer hull exploding on impact KAAAKAABOOOMM!!! The small destroyer shook violently.

Jace was rocked to his core he was still on a space walk as the USS Mariana was being bombarded by a payload off torpedoes and missiles . The rope holding him to the starship snapped or more like it was destroyed from the blast A bundle of debris smacked him off the Starcraft , frantically thrashing his arms around he tried to grab the vessel but failed and started to float in free space " and now it seems I'm going to die in space ... ".

Floating backwards All he could was watch as his small strike force tried it's best to hold off the Prelani fleet but what was unfolding showed that sooner then later strike force hydra would buckle and be destroyed in hours with no chance of retreating. THUMP!! His eyes widen as a dull pain formed on his back Jace reached behind him and latched onto the ship but it was bigger the. What he expected it to be then he had realized it was on of the Prelani battleships a large beast of a starship bringing enough firepower to out gun 3 battle cruisers if it so pleased grabbing what's left of the rope he quickly tied it to the hull of the ship and took a a deep breath " I should be fine I have enough oxyge-" "BEEP BEEP BEEP WARNING OXYGEN LEVELS LOW PLEASE REFILL TANKS 20 MINUTES REMAINING " .

" Fuck!!! Why is my luck so damn bad ! " banging his hands on the hull of the battleship Jace remembered that he still had his plasma cutter and stared at it before grabbing it and turning it on aiming at the armor plating of the Starcraft slowly but surely cutting a man size hole into the ship right side .

Point of view : Commander Johnson stokes of the hydra strike force

" we been played like rats been chased by a cat this fleet is too big for us they were planning on this thy caught us off guard ..... dammit !" Johnson slammed his hands down on his desk and watched as his ships were taking large beating from the Prelani fleet and knew this is where he would die but he was a stubborn man and wanted to take down a few ships with him before he died " All ship this is your commander! There will be no retreating we will fight till we can't no more .... for the republic!!!" Johnson yelled threw the holograms transmitting his small speech all ship captains saluted and started to prepare for the worse .

" face our ship towards the closes battleship we are gonna ram it a full speed ! " the commander wanted to eliminate one of the enemies capital ships before they could do too much damage the small cruiser he had stood no chance in a slug fest so he choice to ram even tho a less honorable way to fight he thought he was gonna die anyway and rather take a few of his foes with him . The cruiser USS Dranken rushed at full throttle towards the Prelani battleship and prepared for the end .
