Kali had just awakened from a recharge and a night's sleep when they’d received messages, one from her assistant the Helashio who told them about the fact they’d had colony ships added for excess people. The other was from the 2nd Division captain, Tammo Sheath who mentioned that the flagship, The Durandium phoenix was finished with construction and that he was planning to take it out for the shakedown mission. Kali got dressed quickly and ran to their office and took a seat, before attaching their geist, which eventually transferred them to a volumetric emitter which allowed them to participate in the mission by observing from the bridge.

Tammo spotted Kali and nodded to her before he sat on his seat. With his Geist soon attached to the seat, the other stations now knew what he wanted like a sort of hive mind. It was a new technology that was set up only for the contingent. “Helm” “On it captain, taking us out, 1 impulse!” Said the woman a clone of Nepleslian heritage. The docking clamps detached from the ship and Immediately the crew could see from various view screens that the ship was making its way from the shipyard. Soon it was out of the yard and into the system proper.

Tammo glanced to the Comm station operator, who immediately set them up on the shipwide announcement. Their voice rang through the whole ship, and through Stations Omacron and Decacron and beyond to the rest of NDC. “My Fellow Duskerians, my fellow Mining Guild members, my people! Today we embark on the first steps on the adventure, today the Mining Guild’s first Capital ship, the Reforged-class starship, Durandium Phoenix embarks on its first shakedown cruise. Today we test its durability, its power, and its strength, to show we can defend ourselves not only with the ships in our Delta Fleet, but with our Flagship. Today we will show those staying back that there is nothing to worry about!" He nodded his head and the Comms operator deactivated the system for the announcement.

“Excellent Speech” Kali said in compliment of the Captain’s speech. Tammo glanced to the volumetric Kali and smiled. ”Thanks, I got the idea of that one from that video game character... I forgot the name of.” Kali just chuckled and went silent, so that she could observe the shakedown cruise operation.

The ship passed the other ship of the Dusk Orbital Guard, and the crew could see the people projected on the view screen saluting the ship and crew as they passed. The Crew of the Phoenix saluted back in respect as the ship went on its course. “Captain, sensors indicate we have left the system proper!” Said the Sensor Operator. When they had indeed left Draco Eridanus. ” “Helm” “On it captain, proceeding to warp to Vale”

” Vale, good choice, my notes indicate that there were some people who wanted to go with us there, same with Nephis” Kali said to the captain, looking down at her notes. Tammo didn’t reply as he was focused on commanding the ship.

Before the ship, a yellow wormhole appeared and the ship entered it before being forced out of the wormhole a little too early! The ship's interior shook before things got stable. ”report! What the fuck just happened?!” The captain demanded Sir! Malfunction in the drive sir, the Engineers have taken care of it.” Captain, we may have more issues to deal with, on screen now!” said a crew member.

Before them was a station, which as occupied. ” Captain their signature reads pirate and it seems our presence has been noticed”[color]. ””shields up, and angry mode! Let's go say hello! ” Phoenix, I’d like you and u ream to infiltrate, get us a look inside”. a second later and the ship’s AI reported.”Captain, we have successfully infiltrated their base and they have slaves, while the slavers appeared to be Kuvexians, most-likely remnants from the war. The ship AI reported, and allowed the crew to see images inside. ”Shit, I recognize those outfits the prisoners are wearing, it was in the Cache, those are Yugumo Corp people!”[color]

”Well, looks like our shakedown mission became a rescue mission, Phoenix, I want you and the rest of the Cyber Security team to infiltrate, try taking over their robots, and guide the prisoners to escape pods, while they are doing that, we’ll cause a distraction and turn their focus elsewhere”Copy That!

” Captain we are being hailed”[color] Said the communications operator. ”put it through”. Tammo said and waited for the words of the pirate ”Surrender your vessel!

”No” and with a glance, the communications operator ended the call. The Pirate ships began attacking the Phoenix but with its advanced shields, and the pirates armed with weaker weapons, there wasn’t much of a concern. The leftover Cyber security operatives played with the enemy’s systems as the ship blew them out of the sky. Tammo saw escape pods leaving the station, and some of the cruisers, and when the AI confirmed no Yugumo or any slave on board. The captain ordered an end to the game, and had the guns all of the guns, and missile racks to fire on the enemy hips and the station blowing it all apart.

”Captain, our fellow Cyber Security specialists report that the prisoners are gleeful, there is hope n their eyes. Said the AI to their captain. ”good, send drones, and some crew to recover our new passengers, take them to our guest suites, and the armor, and robots to a lab, for examination. The captain watched as the crew ”Kali, would you mind sending a message to Yugumo Corp? Tell them that we’ve rescued some of their workers from a Pirate Base, and we will be bringing them back to the Motoyoshi Colonial Sector. “ The captain asked Kali who nodded her head, and disappeared from the emitter.

Captain Sheath Leaned back and observed the bridge crew and watched those outside recovering the escape pods. The cameras saw the passengers being taken to the Medical Bay for medical treatment, before they were given food, and a spa treatment. The Captain nodded to the Weapons Operator who deactivated the red alert, and reholstered the ship's weapons. Then the Helm via a non-verbal command, activated a wormhole, but instead of going to Vale, they went straight to the MCS.

Kali had returned in volumetric form and had mentioned that a Motoyoshi Igarashi Yue, had sent a message of gratitude and had messaged that they should head to Jiyuu. It also turned out according to the astral navigation operator the base, they destroyed was in unclaimed space but very near the MCS. The Captain smiled, taking care of scum and rescuing people, not to mention cleaning up of pirates nearby their ally’s home. The ship soon left hyperspace, and the helm slowed to a stop, at the captain’s command. The passengers no longer prisoners were loaded onto shuttles, with Night Guard Pilots, and the shuttle flew to Port Jiyuu.

Fortunately, with an early warning, the system wasn’t up in arms, and the captain hoped that by keeping their distance and switching to a smaller unarmed ship they didn’t cause tension. Tammo got up from his seat, detaching the Geist. ” “I’ll be going to my quarters, when the shuttle returns head to warp and then proceed as planned to Vale.” The Helm acknowledged, and Tammo left the bridge. Kali appeared beside in a mobile volumetric emitter. “I thought things went well, we rescued some people, destroyed some pirates, and bring our ally and friend their people back. I’d say excellent job. “

Tammo nodded ”I’m glad you approve, we just need to keep it up, we’ll get you and the rest of the Mining Guild to the others safely too. Kali laughed and deactivated the volumetric. She needn't be there on the return trip after all.
