Deep in sector 10 H.. The Rabezian destroyer armada was being destroyed, The small destroyers were no match for the behemoth-like
cruiser assailing them.
This craft was the size of four moons together, it was powered by three massive thrusters at the rear and the main command
deck was just in front of the thrusters perched on a tall, thick and sturdy tower. It was completely covered from port to
bough in dark patchwork red and maroon; obviously, some cutbacks on the budget had to be made.
Onboard the Na'Turo. "Damage report Henson!" the toppling captain demanded as another shot from the cruisers
flanker guns shuddered the hull.
"Not good sir, one more hit on our starboard nacelle and we're goners."
"Keep our bough to the enemy, tactical take a full scan of that ships artillery and transmit it with our position
and situation to HQ." Turning to observe the enemy on the main screen, the captain wiped some sweat from his brow. He
then swivelled to look at the ships damage on another screen.
"Henson put us on a course directly into the path of the privateer, half speed both engines, and I'm going to authorize
the self-destruct sequence" he commanded, deadly serious as he punched in the code and scanned in his retinal on his
own chair to authorize On the lower decks of the Na'Turo, Escape pod hatches opened, the red alert sirens started and the
AI spoke through the PA system -
"All crew to abandon ship, this ship will self-destruct in T- minus ten minutes and counting, this is not an exercise,
no further audio warnings will be given." The feminine AI voice resounded through the ship as the crew and support staff
made for the pods.
Another explosion shook the destroyer, with the command staff falling all over the place. "Tactical, load the AI
onto a 120 Zeon missile I don't want them to get it! Send it to omega 5 outpost with the scans! Do it now!" he shouted.
"Yes sir" the tactical officer replied, running out of the bridge with the AI drive in hand.
Shortly afterwards the Na'Turo was destroyed by the cruisers main cannon, sending the pieces and shards into the energy
shield covering the cruiser...
