"Senior lieutenant Kalkan can you land the REAPER?"
The utterly exhausted AM asked because he just didn't know what to do anymore at first Dracula blacked out all of a sudden and by the time he got him to the medbay his vitals were already just one step away from that of the corpse while his wound according to the check-up Catherine performed just the other day already had almost healed up turned out to be a rotting mess while his intestines heck it was if they had already been rotting for a few weeks.
Then after they put him inside a regen tank filled with a lot more potent experimental formula that the R&D wackos came up with the biomatter from the spores that they killed that barely managed to keep his body from completely shutting down he came back to the bridge only to hear that they can't understand shit of what Lilith was saying.
Now it wasn't that much of a big problem but a bunch of asteroids suddenly broke off from one of the many new Earth's rock satellites and were heading their way that they won't be able to evade even if they burn through all their fuel reserves.
And according to the computer, their shields won't last long enough, their PDLCs will overheat and meltdown before they take all of them down, and even their 32 exactly the same size as nuclear torpedoes multipurpose missiles combined together with their mass accelerator canon wont be enough to destroy all the asteroids.
AM really started to think that the goddamn lich put a curse on them or something before dying because the whole situation was just way too ridiculous to be a coincidence in other words it was an utter cluster fuck.
"XO this I..."
Senior lieutenant Kalkan tried to evade the question as he nervously ran his hand through his brown short regulation-cut hair.
"Can you do it or not?!"
AM asked with a raised tone as he stared at the pilot with his bloodshot blue eyes.
"In theory, yes, In reality, I have no fucking clew the only one who had ever done it in the whole UN's navy history is the captain and he landed the badly damaged corvette which didn't even weigh a million tons on Mars not a fucking two million tonnes heavy destroyer on a planet with 1.3 times the gravity of Earth!"
Tayyar Kalkan snapped at AM because of the pressure he was feeling.
"It's good enough for me pilot."
After saying this AM went to his seat and after doing the standard stuff activated the ship's emergency alarm.
AM exhaled deeply as he calmed his on-the-brink-of-collapse mind and pressed the ship-wide intercom button.
"Attention this is your XO spea... ah fuck it I'm not your fucking Captain I'm not your glorious unkillable reaper who you would willingly follow to hell I'm just your average joe who got into the program only because I'm Drac's best friend so here's the deal as an acting captain I see no other choice but land the reaper so strap in and whichever merciful gods who are listening please help us otherwise if we die Drac will really crawl out from hell and kill you all for abandoning us."
After saying this AM turned off the intercom and leaned into his chair as he waited for the department's reports while the whole ship became busy.
It didn't take long before all the departments reported in as they did AM properly sat up inside his chair only to see the whole bridge crew with the viewport's armored shutters already lowered down staring at him waiting for his orders.
"Pilot, are you ready?"
"Aye, sir ready as I can be."
"Then begin."
"Aye, sir!"
Tayyar answered as he lightly increased the reaper's main thrusters output and started gently maneuvering the ship into the planet's atmosphere at a curved trajectory, once the ship got caught by the planet's gravity and started getting dragged down he used the secondary thrusters to flip the ship upside down.
Tayyar nervously looked at the holographic altimeter and the speedometer once he saw the ship's descending speed hit a certain mark he increased the main thrusters output and continued to increase slowly as the altitude continued to drop making sure to keep the ships speed at a certain number.
By the time ship's altitude decreased just to 1 kilometer above sea level the thrusters were already operating at 100 percent output.
Not good the speed is too much!
The scarred shitless and covered in a cold sweat from head to toe Tayyar cursed in his mind after looking at the speedometer.
Fuck!Fuck!Fuck! WAIT THE AFTER BURNESS!
Tayyar exclaimed happily after remembering that in the reapers upgrade plan the new fancy afterburners were included and as he did he pressed their button causing the ship's thrusters to spew out much bigger flames than they were built to give out as all the extra special fuel got injected into them causing the ships speed to decrease to a barely safe one.
As the ship was only 300 meters away from the ocean water that started boiling because of the temperature coming out from the main thrusters Tayyar once again engaged the reaper's top secondary thrusters making the 120 degrees tilted to the left ship tilt to sixty degrees to the right.
200, 100, 50, 20, 3 meters
Tayyar repeated the altitude to himself until the ships already extinguished red hot main bottom thrusters made contact with the water causing the water to start vaporating in an instant while the main thrusters started slowly cooling off as only the bottoms secondary thrusters still spewed out blue flames in full power until the whole reapers bottom made contact with the water.
200, 100 , 50 , 30 , 10...
Tayyar counted down the distance to the citys cliff as the ship skidded through the ocean straight towards it while leaving massive wawes behind and by the time Tayyar counted down to 10 he could no longer watch the expanding cliff through his viewports whose battle shutters had rolled up long ago so he closed his eyes and silently prayed to his god.
One, two, three minutes passed yet for some reason he could still hear his wildly beating hearts inside his head.
Tayyar slowly opened his eyes only to see that the REAPER's front was just a meter away from the cliff.
"We're alive."
Tayyar muttered under his breath as he unbuckled his belt, stood up, and turned around only to see that the whole crew wasn't moving a muscle as if they were dead seeing this Tayyar inhaled as deeply as he could and screamed out at top of his lungs.
WE ARE ALIVE!|
Causing the whole crew to open their eyes and after staring at the cliff in front of their eyes they went completely wild.
One after another the crew went to congratulate Tayyar by hugging him as tightly as possible, kissing or tossing him out into the air, and catching him only for someone to finally notice that Tayyar had pissed himself.
Pff...pfft... hahaha... I'm sorry Tayyar but... I... pfft... hahaha... but... this...pfft.... is too... funny...hahaha...|
Huh?|
Tayyar exclaimed as he looked down only to see his wet pants.
SON OF A BITCH!|
The red-faced Tayyar who currently wanted nothing more but to find a hole and stuff his head into it as deeply as possible cursed out at the top of his lungs.
