As soon as I got that notification, the leader barked an order across the comms channel.
"All ships! Engage travel drives! To the Warp Gate!"
I engaged my travel drives while weaving through the last of the drones, feeling myself lurch backwards as my ship sped off.
The remaining Mercs, escorts and the Destroyer also boosted away from the battlefield, leaving the drones and the Drone Carrier behind.
I watched as the Carrier rapidly shrunk into the distance and I felt myself relaxing a little.
"That was a close one huh?" I muttered through the comms.
Amber looked at me through her screen, "Was it? I thought that was ok though?"
"Really? We were literally outnumbered a hundred to one and we lost like two ships to them before we managed to get away. If we weren't that close to the edge of the interdiction field, we might have lost even more ships to the drones."
She shrugged, "We would have been able to handle it."
