FIV Resurgent

War Game with the fleet

Objective: Survive

TAD Commander Aran Piett

---------------------------------------------------------------

Aran looked as the Warlock broke off it's attack to reform with the rest of the fleet. He could also see the point defense lasers firing at his TIE squadron he sent to attack her.

"Lieutenant Halsey, status report!"

"Commander, shields are down to 66%, recommend we focus one ship at a time sir."

"Done, all weaponry target the Warlock knock her out of the fight, once she is out target the Hammershot. We will work from there."

Aran stood quietly at the front of the bridge now, everyone on the bridge was doing their job, except one member who was privately briefed to be saboteur. The crewman stood up from her console, started to walk to Aran.

"Commander the fire in the barracks has been put out."

No one noticed the crewman still walking towards the commander, but right has she pulled out her stun baton that was taking the place of a knife, Lt. Halsey turned around.

"COMMANDER WATCH OUT!"

She yelled, as she rushed to push him out of the way. Aran turned around to look the crewman in the eyes, right as Halsey got between him and the assassin, taking the hit from the stun baton. One of the stormtroopers guarding the bridge then tackled the crewman and put her in restraints.

Lt. Halsey started to play our her death.

"Commander.......you......okay *coughing*."

"Yes Lieutenant, I am thank you. Can we get a Medic up here ASAP!"

Halsey groaned and went motionless.

Aran looked at the crewman, gave a her a scowl, then picked up Halsey, and moved her out of the way so no one would disturb her.

Fiolette put her hands behind her, "I did Senior Chief." Taking a moment while her bridge officers conduct their tasks, "where are we on our ordinance?" Just as she asked this, Lieutenant Galeway gave her a thumbs up, "where are we on the guns, Lieutenant?" The blonde nodded with a smile, and the Admiral grinned. "Let us greet the Hammershot with full batteries." She stood at ease with a smile on her face as the Warspite's guns turned toward @Norin Kellarov's vessel. "Fire."

The Warspite-class battleship turned all ten dual heavy long range turbolasers on the Inflictor-class vessel, the cruiser was about to have her defenses tested, and as the dreadnought inched its way across the battlefield, her other weapons would soon come into play. "Galeway, inform Commander Piett that we are here to assist him."

"Yes Admiral," Galeway acknowledged.

Warspite attacks Hammershot

Jen Rennic · Dec 24, 2016

Jen looked at the Admiral, with a glare of are you kidding me.

"Ordinance is loaded and ready to fire on your call."

Jen stood near the door, but close enough to not have to yell.

"Admiral why did you bring me out here, you know I had a desk job waiting for me at the College. I don't really want to be in space anymore, not since loosing everyone over Castemeer."

Rennic's face didn't change in expressions, but her tone of voice did, and one could tell she was distraught about bringing this up again. Her mannerism as well started to show closing up about it.

"Is there anything else you need from me Admiral?"

Fiolette Fortan · Dec 25, 2016

Truth of the matter was Fiolette had changed, and not just on the outside. "I needed someone I could trust, while Galeway and Walzer know better than to question me, I can sense their apprehension." Who wouldn't be? When your 'Admiral,' suddenly turned up looking thirty years younger. She ran a hand over her staff. "What say you, Senior Chief?" She wanted to hear the truth and no better than the Senior Chief who knew best how to deliver it. "Once we get into range, I want to fire the concussion missiles, put the weapons systems through their paces." Turning she turned and looked at the Senior Chief. What had happened on Tokmia was considered classified but Admiral Fiolette Yvarro went in with an ailing mind and came out younger, stronger, and faster in a lot of respects. Red hair, that would take some getting use to. "I assure you, after the Warspite you will be placed at the Academy as requested, and I thank you for even taking the assignment Senior Chief."

"If our fleet cannot anticipate change and chaos here and now, then they do not deserve to wear their uniforms." In more ways than one, Fiolette's targeting of the Hammershot was reflective of life targeting her mind and the shortcut she took to circumvent this. "I need reliable people, people who know what they're capable of. These commanders lack... what's the word I'm looking for?"

Jen Rennic · Dec 25, 2016

"So you want my honest, no bullshit opinion?" SCPO Rennic paused for a moment. "Okay my opinion is Admiral, I think this is bullshit, the natural order of things is to live, and then die...I don't know what happened, but to me you are not the Admiral I knew and worked with on those stations. I believe what ever happened is a Scientific abomination, and that what you should have been doing it passing your knowledge on to your daughter, not try to prolong your life, like some Sith would do."

SCPO Rennic could feel all the anger coming from her words, but she didn't care. She already didn't particularly like Admiral Yvarro, but now it was even more so. As she felt the Admiral was on some power trip to keep what she loved so much. At the same time this allowed her to come to terms with the fact that her former crewmembers were no long around and got their final say in something. Where as Yvarro show she was too scared of the inevitable. This made Jen despise the Admiral a bit more. Jen knew the dangers and the inevitable outcome of life is death, but this.....this was humanity trying to play god.

"As for your orders Admiral, they will be followed to the letter, but I will say right now after this war game I am resigning as CoB for the Warspite, and formally requesting transfer to the Academy."

Fiolette Fortan · Dec 25, 2016

"My daughter isn't capable," she said plainly, "regardless, I accept your opinion and respect it, as I've already mentioned. You'll be sent to the Academy, dismissed." She turned back to the war games, facing the uphill battle of regaining respect of those who served under her. What happened at the Tokmian facility was beyond science, to be truthful the Ren were involved, and so were a few others. The Senior Chief reflected the voice of what was to come, the dark cell that kept her mind intact, and the darkness that now ran through her veins. The staff now tethered to her to keep her life as it was, enteching was not... without its costs. Prolonging her life prolonged the First Order's life, as there were no capable Admirals after her. She did not lower her head she kept it high, shoulders squared. Rennic knew little of her life, little of the fragility of the brass. Where their Grand Admiral had gone to, no one was quite sure, and the other one - well, if Rennic thought Fiolette's process was an abomination, she wouldn't want to look at Kerkov's mess. They were meant to die and to pass on, true - but in this Galaxy with so much at stake, losing herself to the mind was not an option. Not one that anyone on their staff could afford, anyway.

Looking down at her hand she looked at the young skin that she now owned as it were, this body - had not been her original one, no. That - that had faded, sacrificed during the process to capture her essence. "For the Supreme Leader," she whispered to no one in particular as she moved to look out of an observation window.

FIV Resurgent

War Game with the fleet

TAD Commander Aran Piett

---------------------------------------------------------------

Aran looked over at Halsey's motionless body. Even though it was a war game and she wasn't dead, the fact she wasn't there still hit him hard. He turned to look out towards the battlefield, and saw the Warspite attacking the Hammershot. It seemed that Admiral Yvarro had other orders than what Aran was told. He remember his orders being, "Survive alone versus the fleet." This changed everything know.

"Ensign Iverson, have the weapons target the Hammershot, let the Warlock go she isn't a threat anymore."

Ensign Dajo Iverson replaced Maree as Aran's XO, he however was less confident in his abilities. He tended to be quiet, and stuttered a bit.

"Y-y-y-yes.....S-s-s-sir."

Aran looked at the young eighteen year old Ensign. He didn't like Iverson but he was recommended by higher command, meaning he was either good at something, or knew someone in high places. Aran walked back to the comms panel.

"Commander Piett to Admiral Yvarro, I see you have different orders than what I was given, good to see you join the fight."

Aran paused for Admiral Yvarro's reply. Then switched channels to his fighter squadrons.

"Fighter squadrons, pull back and defend the Resurgent, I don't want you chasing down ships and getting hit by defensive fire from them."

Aran again waited for a reply. Then closed the channel, and walked back to the front of the bridge to watch the battle continue.

Fiolette Fortan · Dec 26, 2016

"Commander Piett," the Admiral remarked as she took to the comms channel, "good to see the Resurgent get put through her paces, my orders are to test the Warspite's weapons systems, so what better than a target rich environment." A small smile on her lips, as she looked to Lieutenant Galeway. "Orders to the fleet."

The young lieutenant nodded and opened a channel, "this is Lieutenant Galeway aboard the FIV Warspite, all ships, you may redirect fire on the Warspite."

The Resurgent wasn't the only ship that needed to be tested today.

Admiral Fiolette Yvarro looked to the command station and headed there herself, she had since left the comforts of her ready room. The comforts of tea and study, to command the battle at hand herself, although she was more than confidence that Walzer could do so. It helped to know that the Hammershot and the others were not merely being fired upon for no reason. "We're here today to test the commanders and their ability to adapt to change, as we know in battle that anything can and will happen, if you cannot adapt then you may wish to reconsider your career." A pause, "there is no shame in retreat, gentlemen." Yvarro says as she punches in a few codes, "all weapons lock onto the Hammershot, prepare the Hypervelocity guns and get us within target range."

Sara Lee Jones · Dec 26, 2016

Sara looked at her radar as she watched it light up, laser fire erupted around her

Alright folks I want 12 to keep the lasers and enemy ties busy! Other three fellow me we will take the engines bolt squadron move!

Immediately one was 'hit', it simply disabled it and it moved off course with its friend or for tag showing dead, now 11 ran passes at the guns and engaged the ties, however Sara and the other 3 were weaving and moving to the best they could to avoid what ties and point defenses not busy with the 11 others

Alright almost there just keep it together, alright here's the run, I will use cannon fire, 2 follow.up with missiles 3 cannon four more missiles got it?

She got all green and smiled

Norin stood on the bridge surveying the scene ahead of him.

"Sir we are taking fire from behind the Battle Group Sir."

Norin intentionally showed no visible reaction. It seemed the parameters of the exercise had changed on the fly. He was not surprised in the least.

"Damage assessment?"

"Sir we took a good hit but the shields took most of it."

"Weapons Fire another barrage on the Resurgence and then calculate a new firing solution for our new target.......................Communications get me a line to the Battle Group...............navigation plot an intercept course to that ship."

Norin waited until the line was open.

"Battle Group Imperator this is FIV Hammershot requesting redirection of fire to new target in your sector..........we are plotting an intercept course now until within weapons range to engage."

Norin motioned for the channel to be closed just in time to get the message from the Warspite. Norin looked to the crew.

"Navigation drop us 45 degrees..............get us underneath the Warspite.................evacuate all forward cabins and compartments."

Norin paused and then addressed his bridge crew.

"Alright ladies and gentlemen listen up. It appears somebody at Command decided to throw a little chaos into the simulation. War is the same way. The Warlock has taken heavy damage, the Resurgence has taken heavy damage and the Warspite has decided to ignore the Battle Group and target us specifically and give up the element of surprise against the Battle Group. I don't claim to understand the reason but we are gonna give them a fight as much as we can for as long as we can. Man your stations, do you jobs, and we will get through this."

Norin paused.

"Weapons...............fire on the Warspite."
