Radar officer detected the ship hyperspace in and yelled at Sulli
Radar officer "Sulli there is a ship coming in now its engines seems to be offline, status says Coalition but it's not making any movements"
Sulli was shocked to hear it was Coalition and attempted to contact it "Coalition frigate, you are trapped and cannot go anywhere comply now and you will be spared" Sulli closed off the communications and a Turbo Railgun was readied to fire upon the frigate on Sulli's or Nokai's command

"Sir, they're moving into position. No contact has been made with us, but I suspect they want us to participate." The Lieutenant reported again, and the ship began moving into formation with them. The battleship got in between the destroyer and the other battleship, and began moving with them.

"How are the men? Are they waking up?" Arik asked, and looked out into the space. It was calm, serene. Nothing like what was to come. Men would die, and soon, the space would be filled with shrapnel and dead bodies.

"Yes, they're awake. Very soon now, sir. They'll be at their posts," The Captain said, and smiled. This should go according to plan. All of it. One way or another, it would. It had to. Otherwise, they might have to do other things. And they didn't like the other things.

"Sir! Another ship has appeared! Just popped out of Warp! The other two ship's weapons are powered up now!" The Lieutenant shouted, and began re scanning the scene. When he was finished with the conformation, he turned to Arik and nodded. It was a small frigate.

"Shields up! Don't load, don't charge, don't do ANYTHING with the weapons! I want to make them deal with this. Damn! Another problem!"

"I WANT MY FIVE THOUSAND!" Marshal said hearing the message, then turned to his comm officer "Send them a transmission" Marhsal said, then the comm officer pushed a few buttons then nodded, signaling marshal that the channel was open "This is Marshal of the Now-Stolen-Coalition Frigate Defiant, We have just escaped from a detention station about ten hours from here, We are part of the Mercenary Group, And we mean you no harm!" Marshal said, then nodded to his comm officer, signalling him to stop transmitting "I sure hope they believe me or we are going to have one big problem..." Marshal said, And sat down trying to relax

Nokai reached the bridge and asked Sulli what was going on, after a few minutes Sulli explained the situation and Nokai opened up a response signal "This is Captain Nokai of the ~Tarkat Nictov~ I am moving in to board you and search your ship, if you are telling the truth I will meet you face to face, if you are not you know the consequences" he said then ended the transmission with the frigate and moved to the friendly mercenary ships "alright hold you fire i'm moving in to dock with the ship they claim to be Mercenary escaping from a detention center, if all goes well you'll hear from me in the next couple of minutes" he said then ended the transmission between them as well. The Nav officer began moving the ship to docking procedure with the Frigate and the weapons powered down and hid themselves under the hull of the ship. Nokai came up on the frigate's screen "alright prepare to be boarded i'm in short distance from you so i'll be sending over a shuttle" Nokai then hung up the call and headed for the hangar bay where his shuttle was hidden away in.

"If you do not send a transmission within the next ten minutes, we will fire upon the ship." Mentat replied over the radio.

(Hey, you guys can run out this meeting among yourselves. I got a different plan that will include all ya.)

The ship turned so that the beams were aimed at the ship. Small red beams focused on the hull, acting as aiming crosshairs.

"Open up a channel with all three other ships. That ship is not Coalition..." Arik said, and read the report he got more closely. They had monitored Coalition frequencies and codings, and this wasn't the same type. Well, the ship was defiantly Coalition. But the crew was not. It wasn't their way. A ship like that would be escorting a larger ship.

Marshal looked at the three ships with a worried look "They are already aiming weapons at me!" Marshal said sighing, then looked at his bridge crew "Alright, don't shoot anyone unless they shoot first" Marshal said, then someone on his bridge spoke "Sir those three ships are talking back and forth with each other" Marshal then put his hand to his chin "Hmm, Don't try and listen in, they might take that as an aggressive move..."

The ~Tarkat Nictov~ hard docked with the frigate and Nokai entered the door with 4 marines with him
Nokai"Alright where's the bridge, i never cared enough to learn about coalition ships"
One of the marines pointed to their left and Nokai began heading in that direction and opened up a comm line with the destroyer and other capital ship "alright i'm aboard the vessel there's no armed marines on it except my own so that's out of the question, i'm heading for the bridge now." he turned off his comm and kept walking.

Mentat kept his weapons hot, ready for anything. "Don't get too comfortable." He replied over the radio.

"Sir, they've boarded the ship." The Lieutenant replied, and smiled. This was a very very good time for what they had planned. Of course, they would never know what they wanted to do. It was all kept in secret until now.

"Good. Captain, move us into position," Arik ordered, and cracked his knuckles. This was going to be fun. "Shields up! Load all projectile weapons! Power up the energy weapons, load torpedoes and missiles, and have the fighters rearmed and ready to go!"

The men nodded and began giving orders. Soon enough, the Battleship turned itself around towards the other capital ship, and powered on all its weapons. The railguns were activated and reloaded, the plasma cannon charged and ready to fire, the Nova Cannon in it's earliest stage of reloading, and all the turrets ready to go.

"Channel opened, sir."

"Good." Arik said, and turned towards the display. There he saw the other ships. "This is the HRA Empire Battleship HRAS Arrogence. You are ordered to surrender your vessels immediately and prepare to be boarded. Should you refuse, I will be forced to use deadly force, and still board your ships. Is that clear?"

Arik muted himself and looked at the Master Gunnery Sergeant. "Sarge, target the boarding shuttle. If it moves, shoot it."

Mentat's destroyer turned so that it's beams were aimed at Arik's ship. "Disable your weapons, or your hull WILL be breached." One of the gunning engineers shouted of the radio.
"Give me a sit rep of that ship! NOW!" Mentat shouted as papers were brought over to him.

"Oh great, The empire is here to make are lives easier!" Marshal said sarcastically, then turned to his bridge crew "ARM ANTI FIGHTER LASERS! ARM CANNONS! AIM ALL WEAPONS AT THAT VESSEL!" The cannons of the Ship faced them "OPEN A TRANSMISSION TO THAT SHIP!" marshal yelled, the com officer nodded that the transmission was open "THIS IS MARSHAL OF THE DEFIANT! LOWER YOUR SHIELDS AND POWER DOWN WEAPONS OR YOU WILL BE FIRED APON!"

"This is General Arik Tarainis of the battleship HRAS Arrogence. Mashal, in case you didn't notice, I have guns on here that can rip your ship in half in one shot. You are in NO position to argue or negotiate with me. Mentat, you may be a destroyer, but if you want to survive, you'll think this through. This is my last warning. Comply or I will tear you to shreds and pick the survivors out of the debris like food from my teeth," Arik warned, and watched them.

"Target the frigate with the frontal gun turrets. Target the battleship with the plasma cannon, railguns, and forward orbital bombardment guns. Target the destroyer with the broadside Hellraisers. Scramble the fighters!" Arik ordered, and smiled. Two hundred fighters scrambled out of the hanger bays and began escorting the 100 super heavy bombers and torpedo bombers. As soon as the order was given, the huge frontal gun turrets, all the side rapid fire energy turrets and the two massive gun turrets on the front turned towards the frigate. "Your move."

"This technology was developed on E.D.N. III. This weaponry is capable of frying engines are filling your ship with radio-active material. Even if we are destroyed, you have little chance of leaving with your lives!" An engineer shouted over to radio. "Engineer, stay off the line!" Mentat shouted across the ship.

"This ship was built on the HRA homeworld, a massive fortress planet that has more resources than your whole fleet combined. We're over 5 kilometers long, Engineer. We have six layers of shields, and two layers of Warp shields. Not only that, but we have one feet of titanium armor and an outward explosive armor that can destroy rounds before it hits the armor." Arik explained, and got up, stretching out. "Ready the boarding parties. And get my armor!"

"Last chance. What is it? Surrender? Or death?"

The men nodded and ran off. In ten minutes, the screen went dark, and ten minutes later, there he stood, Arik Taranis, in full battle gear. He stood over eight feet tall and was covered in the green power armor. On one side was the black Ultramarine symbol, symbolizing the Marines, and on the other was the Command symbol, showing he was a general. He had a brown cape flowing behind him, and a black loincloth in the front.

"Get all laser rifles ready! Get the battle armors prepared! Set up any gum grenades you can find!" Mentat ordered, walking towards the ship bay of his ship.

"No? Alright, then. Starboard broadside guns! Open fire on the Destroyer!" Arik ordered, practically shouting. All the crew that woke up immediately began manning the guns, and in one second, the ship began to move. 50 huge shells, over 60 feet in diameter, were fired at once, and the force was so great that the ship itself listed port side, but the maneuvering thrusters put it back into place.

As soon as the projectiles were launched, the massive double barreled energy gun turrets, four lesser ones and one large triple barreled energy turret locked on and fired. After each barrel fired, the other fired, and so forth, until dozens of blaster rounds filled the space between the ships.

"Boarding parties 1S, 1DK, and 2DK get ready!" Arik ordered again, and the commander nodded. 1S stood for 1 Space Marine, or one full squadron of space marines, ten super soldiers in total. The DK stood for Death Korps, and that was forty Death Korps soldiers.

"Starboard Guns hold fire! Boarding torpedoes, at the ready! Fire on my mark!"

Marshal then spoke up again "I don't care if your ship has big ass guns or can make ice cream! You still going to be blown back to the stone age!" Marshal said, then cut the hail "Tell that ship we are undocking from them, we will return their captain as soon as this is over, because if we don't undock both of are ships go up in smoke!" Marshal said, then the frigate undocked from the ship, "Target those fighters, Fire the beams" The frigate then started firing small red beams of energy at the fighters
