“How much longer must I stare at this hell-colored planet?” The question repeated over and over in his mind. He watched the slow swirl of gas clouds in their never-ending dance that filled the seemingly infinite minutes that passed away to never be reclaimed. “Captain- Captain Teg.” The willowy voice flittered through his thoughts at first, unnoticed; only part of the ever-present sounds of the ship that he had so long ago conquered and considered familiar…even comfortable. His thoughts delved deeper into the red ball displayed on his monitors. “Captain?” the voice now took form as a thin figure dressed in the standard female ship fatigues stepped into his view. Resurfacing from the depths of his mind, he gave a quick shake of the head and looked at the young woman. It took another moment to focus and meet her deep doe brown eyes. “Ah, yes Katherine? Please pardon me, I was lost in thought,” he gave a slight, sincere smile. “I thought so, Captain,” she stated with a small chuckle. He looked back into his green eyes surrounded by his weathered face. His thin, long nose, tanned skin, and mouth capable of so many expressions- he reminded her of her grandfather. However, he possessed a strength that was seldom seen anymore. “We have reached the destination. According to the schedule, we should be rendezvousing shortly.” “Excellent.” He set his glance on a smaller display to the side. A flashing marker indicated the “Atreides” Izumo ship’s postion against the plotted course as well as the other ships in their small group. He knew out there along other patrol routes, other battle groups looked over the same scene, keeping a watchful eye on the horizon, making sure to block off and intercept any incoming vessels. “The Republic will be a great help in covering all this.”

"Colonel, the supply transfer is almost complete." Regarding the young petty officer from his captain's chair, Colonel McMicken couldn't help but notice the young mans collar device was on improperly. Ever a man for attention to detail, McMicken could only suspect he was made the skipper of such a prestigious class of logistics vessel for such a reason. Unlike most men in command of cargo vessels he didn't take the assignment as a slight, but instead a compliment. "I never knew eagles swam, Petty Officer Tare." Perplexed by the Colonels comment for a moment, Tare's glance finally caught his collar where his petty officers emblem sat nearly perpendicular to the deck. Quickly moving to fix the device, the young man tried to keep the report moving. "My mistake, Colonel, however the Baikonur has just reported she has finished taking on supplies. The Ichor and Kuore are both at 95 percent and are waiting for the heavy dolly to be moved from loading the spare secondary barrel on the Wellington; who was delayed due to a securing failure in her cargo bay." Adjusting in the elevated chair, McMicken looked out the port and starboard windows. Tethered on either side of his ship were several Salamis Kai class vessels, the entire group dwarfed by the Jupitirus class vessel he piloted. The aptly named Relic was the oldest of the Sulaymaan operated Jupitirus fleet, and in better times had called upon the Jupiter gas trade many a time. Now, she ferried supplies to the main fleets deep in the outer system with her sister ships. "What of the Dynamo?" "The Dynamo has just separated from the Arbiter task group and will be linking up with the Musai, Dido, and Seoul... who are currently being supplied by the Nova." "So it's done then?" Shifting impatiently, the Petty Officer nodded. The entire crew knew what "it" was, Arbiter's firing on Water Production Alpha had simply been the opening move in a much grander campaign. Regardless, all Tare wanted was to be relieved; his duty shift had ended nearly an hour prior. "Yes sir, all reports indicate the facility was annihilated and Arbiter fired without malfunction or cause for worry" Leaning back in his captain's chair, the Colonel looked foreword down the length of his vessel. There, just off the starboard bow the ever distant sun was coming around the edge of Jupiter. "Your relieved Petty Officer. Get some rest, I am sure your staff is more than capable of handling the last of the supplies. On your way to your quarters, call on the navigation room and tell them to plot our return course to intercept Arbiter. The Ichor and Kuore used far less supplies than anticipated, we will give the excess to the weapon." Relieved, the Petty Officer gave a crisp salute and turned on his heels. He pittied the men on the Salamis taking supplies, he knew full well from experience blockade watches never seemed to end. Scheduled to take positions in the Northern and Southern poles of the massive planet of Jupiter, the Sulaymaan had dedicated a significant number of ships to aiding the numerically superior Earth Union in the blockade. While they had the force to patrol the planets bulging equatorial sectors, the Sulaymaan would use their excess force to close the nets at the poles. It was a shoot-first, ask second policy in the Sulaymaan fleet. All non-scheduled approaching ships would be hailed and ordered to reverse course. If they refused to reverse course, they would be boarded - pillaged - and scuttled. If still the ship refused boarding, it would simply be annihilated by cannoncade. |
