- 6th fleet -

- Pergammon -

Jean Robert and vice admiral Moore are busy talking about how to defeat an enemy. "Why should we not do a three fold formation?" Vice admiral Moore asks lt. commander Lapp. "Instead of splitting up the forces, we can combine our forces and silply beat them on a full front battle." Moore looks up nearly angered. "This strategy we have will Annihilate the enemy fleet. Like the one at Dagon in 640 uc." 'How ridiculous,' Lapp thought. "But this isn't Dagon and that the enemy can see us better because there's less radiation than the Dagon starzone." Lapp responded. Moore didn't like it at all. So he decided to mock him. "Look here, lieutenant commander Lapp here is wiser than both Lin Paõ and Yosuf Toparol!"

The other 3 men on another table are all laughing. For that they are thinking than it'd be ridiculous to be smarter than fighting harder. For that the empire can outspend us. For that the Free Planets Alliance of the Sagittarius arm had fewer resources to pull on our side compared to the Galactic Empire of the Orion arm.

Lapp had to hold back a sneer and death killing glare on both vice admiral Moore and the other three idiots. They are fools that poison the minds of many good people under his command.*

"4:30?" Moore asks with one of his eyebrows raised. The officer hesitates and responds. "Y... yes sir, it's at the 4:30 direction of our fleet. We still aren't able the see or identify if they are enemy or our allies." Moore stood up along with Lapp and the other 3 men. "There's no way that the enemy be behind us." Moore said, Lapp responds. "There's a possibility that the battlefield has moved on."

All five men go into the elevator that goes to the bridge. "Are we just going to simply neglect the 4th fleet?" Moore asks, "no I simply think that the 4th fleet has been destroyed by the imperials." Lapp responds. Just as he says that a violent shake happens on the elevator and the lights go dark. This is only temporary as the light come back.

The alarms are sounded, going all around the ship. As neutron beams flyby ships some clipping and destroying some of their ships. "Emeny fleet at our rear at 4:30! They're still firing at us!" The radar operator yells as the display shows the enemy fleet at the rear. "Damn imperial scum. All ships return fire at the enemy!"

The order is relayed to the fleet as it returns fire but not the same volume at the enemy for that their rear is at them. Making them vulnerable to enemy fire. "All ships prepare to reverse course!" Moore orders, "wait, vice admiral!" "What!?" "We can simply move full speed and come around and hit them from the rear." Moore wasn't taking it. He was one who like to fight not be smart. Much like the hard headed neanderthal. "But we will lose forces if we do that. Reverse course!" "But sir, it will bring confusion for our forces and we will lose more ships and-" "shut up!"

The whole 6th fleet reversed course this resulted in destruction of a whole bunch of the 6th fleet. "Sir! Small craft inbound to this ship! Just as a either a battleship or destroyer explodes in front of the flagship as Valkyries fired their laser guns into the ship carving the hull with thin lines then exploding. "So it's close combat then launch Spartanians," Moore says. But it was too late the spartanians on the carriers were destroyed before they were launched.

Reinhard watches as the enemy fleet crumbles whilst being swamped by their numbers. "Isn't Merkatz also doing very well as much as Farenheit?" He asked, "he's a man who was pulling up military experience way before you were born your excellency," siegfried responded.
There are many men whose long military experience is just napping and meals like most do," Reinhard says. "The outcome will be decided momentarily, but... shall we give them a chance to surrender?" Kircheis asks.
