“To the outor rim and beyond part 14

  Commander sherad was nervous. He acepted that he would not survive this battle. He was fine with that. If he had to go out he wanted to strike a hard blow to his enemy at the same time. He feard that he might fail. His death might be in veign. He wanted some kind of victory. He would have it. One way or another.
The posioning of vega would be aceptible. It would be the rallying cry on both sides. To the humans a kind of remember vega mantra. The romulons would use it for propinganda perpouses as a building point. He might be awarded by the preator postumously mayby even by the emparor. He would not be there to witness it but oh well.

“They are atempting to hide there signiture by using sansor ghost,distortion and even venting plasma. I believe i have them!” Tivora said.
“Stay on them kell !”styles said. “Aye sir! “He said. The x tried to catch up with the hostile.
The hostile deverted every ounce of power to speed for the ship. The weapon would be turned into one gigentic dirty bomb.
  The x commander would not pull out all the stops such as what serad did. They would do what had to be done within reason.

“We are about to be attacked! I want every ship in the sky. We are on full alert!”governor ronald egder said. “Orions? Nusicans! ” the aid asked . “No romulons!”he said. “Who?” The aid said.
  The x found the ship and fired. The vessel was hit. “We bearly scrached the paint!” Boyd reported.
The romulon ship reterned fire on the x. The x was hit. “Shields holding!” Tivora reported. The ship deployed canisters. The canasters hit the ship. The x fired a lazer burst.
“Target that explosion and fire!”styles ordered. The ship hit the explosions. One of the nichelle was hit. There was exstensive damage all over the ship.
  The ship fired every last torpedo it had. The x tried to dodge them. They dodged most of them but the ship was hit. Several decks had been sealed off.
The x fired again. The lazer hit the agresive ship. The ship was hit. The bridge exploded. Serad had survived.
Serad knew that his time was already pass. He was going out with a bag. He sat the ship on auto pilot. He riged the ship on a colision course. The ship headed for the x.
The x pulled up. The x fired and ran though the wake. They plowed though. The ship was determined to servive. This could not be the end.
The x came out like a pheonix from the ashes. The ship was batered and bloody but intact. It came though on to the other side.
“We are at all stop!” Kelly w said.”hold position ! I want a full damage asestment!”styles said.
The x repared itself enough to return to earth. Then the exstensive repairs begun.
