Darius System

Final Battle Scene


A poetic reckoning
Honor comes to terms with her lineage.
Only quiet reigned after that. You could
hear a pin drop on every pickup.


That was beautiful. Simply beautiful. I have never known Honor to brag. But that speech was short and poetic. She had had enough of the Darius system. After defeating them she put paid to any future ideas of a Phoenix rising from the ashes. She opened all channels to any Mesan listening in the system, stepped in front of her pickup wearing a cape with the Alpha insignia on her chest, hands on her hips… and … and …

“I am Alpha and Omega. I am the first. I will always be the last. I am God.”

She's a Beta you imbecile. She can eat her way out of any pickle!"

That was great, but I liked Nimitz' act better. Stepping in front of the pickup and staring out into the Alignment.


<She is more than God. She is Alpha and Beta and Omega>



Then the cat breaks out into a dance.



... then the cat stops to ponder something ...



<It was a bad idea to give this Alpha the beta mod. Now she eats Alphas for breakfast. And lunch. And dinner. And snack. And anything in-between. I've seen her eat. There isn't enough of you to fill her plate.>


Then the cat breaks back out into dance.





P.S. I had to share this. My crazy niece showed it to me using the brackets of a day bed. Simulating the extra limbs of a cat. That little snot is hillarious.

"Hey Uncle, look at Nimitz doing the running man."

:lol: :lol:

Don't you worry. They're all Alphas. They understand sign language.


Altogether now.

Commandeering and the MAN


"I am pulling rank. I need five of your spider ships."

"No! I need them!"

"I am taking them! Case closed!"

"Find them and you can have them." ;)


The asshole is famous for commandeering ships. In the next system ...

"They're not here, so you cannot take them."

"I know they're here."

"You're free to look around. But you won't find them."

Deja vu

"Get that CM ship in closer!"

Well, we just discovered a limitation of a SDP(CM). They simply cannot be put into the hands of anyone with even a single drop of Young blood. Look at that coward run."

"On the flip side, he's proving the design works. Not a single missile of the massive salvo directed at him has landed. Look at the bastard shitting CMs in retreat!"

"Well, it doesn't come close to the excrement he's dumping in his pants."

Well, there's your flaw!

The enemy might not be wasting firepower in a ship that is retreating and is no longer a threat.

Maybe :lol: . But there is always the possibility that the coward would rethink his actions and reengage. Think Top Gun. "Maverick's reengaging sir!" The enemy wouldn't want that kind of CM power to have a change of heart. And destroying these things might be on the top of the to do list.

It is also possible that the first officer will put his own career on the line, knock the bastard out and assume command. Like I was hoping would happen before with Honor.
