Dumb ”Im sorry. Let’s just say it was my old age.” The pm says with a chuckle. Now a group you could go speak to next would be the GBE. He brings up a location via his data pad and gives it to dasha.

Dumb

ONI
"Hmm..."
Dasha studied the datapad, and memorize the approximate faction border. She then promptly returns the pad to the PM, before standing up and bows.
"Thanks for everything, i'll be taking my leave..."
She turns around and head towards the doorway, just turn her head and looks back at the very last moment, and with a playful wink.
"And be sure to enjoy the upcoming show, coming up somewhere within the Core."

ONI

Dumb "Here, let me walk you out". The old PM slowly gets up and out of his chair. He shuffles over to Dasha offering his arm. As a kind symbolic gesture. He tells her to thank her for coming and he thinks about how he desperately wants to know what will happen at the core, but he knows her time is limited. Perhaps we can meet some time again?

Dumb

ONI
Dasha ponders for a while, before looking back at the PM with a stern look.
"We are racing against time already, but..."
She gives a reassuring smile, one found only on young kids which does not know the horrors of reality yet.
"Something tells me that we will probably meet again in the future. Perhaps another tea party when the time comes?"

ONI

Dumb The PM hands Dasha the proper documentation before she leaves to show that she was sent from a friendly nation.

The document contains all the information she will need for the GBE interaction.

Deep space: Near UEG Outer Colony 'Meridian'

A raider corvette drops out of hyperspace and begins scanning the nearby system, keeping emissions from the engine to a minimum and not sending any transmissions back home. The ship keeps its eyes out for any UEG nearby and begins to search for something...

ONI

Brank _The ship is unnoticed for some time until it is picked up by the scanners of a Gladius-Class Heavy Corvette.

//UNSC Narvik FS-056//

Unidentified craft respond to this hail or face defensive actions. You are trespassing in UEG territory. Declare your intentions. You have 4 minutes to respond.

//Transmission Ends//

ONI ONI
The Ship goes on high alert, alarms going off in the bridge.
Bridge:
Cpt. Jameson:
"Bring the Shields up and weapons online! UEG Contact is on approach. Yakob, send a transmission."
Comms. Officer Yakob:
"Yes sir!"
The Comms come alive.
//Raider//
"We are of the UE, our business is none of your concern. We are simply searching for something then will be on our way.."

ONI

Brank
//Narvik FS-056//
Elaborate on why you are here.
//Transmission Ends//
The Narvik readies one of its four archer missile pods. Its point defence guns turn to face the corvette in case it fires. The Narvik also communicates via an encrypted channel with the nearby light frigate Fairy Queen FFG-903 for additional boarding support if boarding becomes an option.

Brank

ONI
The line cuts and yakob turns to jameson.
"Sir, we cant just tell them that we were spying on their colony"
Jameson:
"No, we cant. Prepare for a fight.."
The crew readies for combat as weapon systems come alive and fighters prepare to launch.

ONI

Added a bit of new lore :>

ONI

Brank The Corvette awaits a response from the raider.

Brank

ONI
A Response is not sent. Suddenly, the corvette's engines flare brightly as it attempts to hide behind the asteroids it is nearby, weapons training their aim upon the UNSC Ship.

ONI

Brank The corvette fires off a warning shot at the enemy corvette. The missile streaks across its bow as the Narvik rotates to face the Raider.

"MAC is hot Ma'am. Capacity is at one hundred percent: says the weapons officer to the Narviks captain.

Brank

ONI
Cpt. Jameson:
"They Fired a warning shot! Prepare to engage on my mark! Three, Two, One, Mark!"
The Laser cannons and Turbolasers of the ship open up, aiming for the frontal MAC of the ship, the Dual ION cannons aiming for the bridge tower, and Concussion missiles streaking from their launch pods, attempting to go for the Leftmost Engine pod of the ship. Meanwhile the ship continues moving towards an asteroid to hide behind, the engines on full blast. 2 Squadrons of Old Liberator-Class Starfighters rush out of the Hangar bay of the ship, each squadron accompanied by a B-wing heavy bomber. They go on approach for the UNSC Corvette.

ONI

Brank The Narviks point defences fire at the fighters and enemy projectiles with the standard high explosive sabot ammunition they use. The Narvik launches one of its MAC rounds at the Raider with its M60 Archer missiles and RIM-442 Anubis EMP missiles in tow. The Narvik's engines flare as it moves to evade the turbolaser fire.

Shield status at one hundred percent. Enemy fighters closing in. 24,000km out chirped the ship's AI. The Narvik receives a transmission on SECNET. (Secure Network)

The Fairy Queen is underway...

Brank

ONI
The MAC Round Narrowly misses, passing right over the top of the raider, the sheer closeness of the shot shearing off a single armour plating. Meanwhile the fighters attempt to dodge as much fire as they can, point defense overwhelming and heavily damaging two, while the rest are only minorly damaged or unscathed. the Liberators fire their laser cannons at the Corvette, while the B-wing unloads it's multiple ION cannons and a couple ION Torpedoes into the shields of the corvette.

ONI

Brank As the fighters draw closer, the point defences continue to fire at them and the ion payload they launched. One of the ion torpedoes hits bringing the shields of the corvette down to seventy-five percent. The topside Titanium A2armour plating is slightly damaged. The secondary layer of Deraxium B2 and the third level of the ship Titanium C3 are left untouched. From a visual standpoint, the ship is encased in a yellow glow for a brief few seconds.

The corvette fires another round from its MAC and continues to fire missiles at the raider. They also receive an update on the Fairy Queen which is now twelve minutes away.

Brank

ONI
The Second MAC Round Strikes the Raider's shields, dropping them down to 70%, as well as a couple of missiles dropping it down a few percent. The raider finally reaches the asteroid, hiding behind it for a short while to allow a breather. Meanwhile, the Other B-wing also unleashes its payload of ION Cannons and Torpedoes before both wings of starfighters break off, turning for another attack run.

ONI

Brank The point defences track the bomber/ other fighters and fire. The corvette targets the asteroid the Raider is hiding behind and launches more missiles that destroy it. It launches another volley targeting the raider.

The Narvik swings downward and comes about so it is facing at the near bottom of the Raider to obtain a better angle. The damage from the bomber's payload causes some more damage across the hull.

The Fairy Queen communicates with the Narvik that it can see the missile detonations and the ship's signal on the tactical display on its bridge. The Fairy Queen is an Anlace-Class Electronic Warfare frigate.

Brank

ONI
A Fighter is destroyed by the Point Defense, while another 2 are damaged alongside one of the B-wings. They Come about and prepare for another run, this time all ordnance being prepared. The Raider's engines fire up once again, missiles striking its shield and reducing it's strength as it fires another volley of concussion missiles and turbolaser fire, alongside the ION cannons beginning to fire once again. The Raider rolls quickly, showing it's side to the corvette instead of its bottom, still allowing most of the weapons to fire.
