Tiberia Series: the Next Generation: Chapter 3

Day 110, 2950

We have found out that the "Grand Admiral" was just a decoy. So did the enemy, they took the actual one prisoner. I have a bad feeling that this is my next mission. After weeks of combing the enemy ship was found heading towards the planet Andephin, home of the Andelpi.

Day 101, 2950

My worst fears have been confirmed I have another mission. This is to rescue the Grand Admiral. The worst part about this is that I won't be flying top cover, oh no I'm the one needing it. This is fantastic, well at least my squad mates won't be harmed it I die, there's cannon fodder for that. I am to be shipped out tomorrow. I'm going to need to relearn close combat techniques.

Day 102, 2950

I survived, again. The problem is that living nightmare of the ship. We were beamed into a dank blank space, smelling of decay. Than the lights flickered on. The bodies were everywhere. Bodies of every race in the known universe, and then some. They were all rotting on the rack, flies buzzing through the air. I saw him he was on the table. PJ looking out at me through half decayed false eyes from a rotted face. The worst part about it was the fact that PJ was still alive. The flesh was suspended an inch from the main body. I saw his heart beating. He looked at me begging silently to have an end put to this torture. I aimed my mk56 combat rifle and obliged.

Sgt. Borne had placed the homing beacon. The fleet would arrive in a half hour to destroy the ship. We had only a half hour to find the admiral. I led the away team out of the room and immediately headed to what appeared to be the bridge of the ship. We got there with tons of time and before we kicked in the door I overheard...

"Andelpi command this is executor we have the grand admiral."

I would have heard more but I became focused on the need to use the breaching charge on the door. BOOM! The door ceased to exist. I stormed in shooting at anything that moved. When the smoke cleared there was only one. I noticed the flat grey face and the cloven hooves of the Andelpi. He smiled at me. Then he pressed something and hit the teleporter. I noticed a red beeping inside the Grand Admiral.

"Run, thats and order trooopers! MOVE, MOVE, MOVE!"

Beep... Beep... Beep... Beep, Beep, Beep, BeepBeepBeepBeepBeep Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeep! BOOM! I got covered in gore; I watched in slow motion as the Grand Admiral expanded and burst like a balloon. The blast tore the face off of one of the marines; blew both legs off another. I stood unscathed as all the others died horrible deaths. I stood there until I picked up comms.

"This is UHSS Kestrel in range where are you Thawn."

"I'm on the bridge."

"Get your ass to the hanger, your ride's only got five minutes to go."

I rushed down to the hangar bay, killing everything. When I got there sure enough, my salvation had arrived. I got on.

"Where's the others? Where's the admiral?"

"They're all dead. Blown up by a trap. One that I should have seen coming"

I took comfort in watching that hell ship be fired on by the synchro cannon on the Akasumulos. I watched every one of those mother fuckers die slow and painful deaths in the vacuum of space. Rest in peace my soldiers.
