"Seven Years. Has it really been that long?" Anya said out loud
looking at the padd in her hands as she started the briefing.
"Seven years since what?" Lancer Squadron's XO, 1Lt. David Lanner asked.
"Seven Years since events were put into motion a war which nearly
destroyed the Erassian Alliance and created a death toll of over
Thirty Million people on the Alliance's side alone. It was years of
slaughter and genocide rained upon us." Anya replied.
Erassian Captain Joe Reynalds, Windhover Squadron's CO and the now
Deputy Wing CO chimed in, saying in a dark tone. "The Solrin
War...Are we to presume by this dredging up of the past for us
Erassians and history lesson for the Feds that this has some relevance
to bear on current events in which we are participating?"
"You are." Anya confirmed in an equally serious tone. "As no doubt
probably all of you are aware, we're not just out here to destroy
pirate bases. We have been tasked with the elimination of a dangerous
war criminal. We have been tasked with eliminating a target who for
security reasons has not been disclosed to either you or the crew of
the USS Jackal until today. Our target is responsible for many high
profile events which took place both during and in the run up to the
Solrin War. Our target is the greatest traitor in Alliance history,
Colonel Vernier."
There was an outbreak of noise amongst the pilots mainly the Erassian
ones whist the Federation pilots seemed a bit bemused by the tone of
the whole thing. Captain Reynalds was in no doubt one of the
astounded Erassian pilots. "That bastard is still alive? The Omega
Bomb didn't kill him? Do you have proof that we're not being sent on
a ghost chase?"
"At the Battle of Charos VI he was recorded organising the suicide
bombers on the USS McCoy and in the act of executing the McCoy's XO,
Commander Harbijan Singh. It's taken almost a year since that event
to put together an decent lead to track this prick down and as they
cant afford to squander this lead, they decided to send the people
least likely to screw up catching and killing him...us. Make no
mistake people we are going to live up to our new name. The last face
Colonel Vernier will see will be that of the Reaper." Anya said
defiantly.
"What are our Rules of Engagement ?" David Lanner asked.
"Shoot on sight. If you get fired upon destroy the enemy without
hesitation and by any means necessary. Long story short anything goes.
I don't need to tell you how big this is for us to receive that
leeway. Alright people suit up the tactical details for the next
target are being forwarded to your fighters. Get ready because this
one ain't going to be easy." Anya finished.
