KOS-MOS' Dream chapter 2
A lone ship drifts in the void... its hull cleanly cut in half mid ship... the ship now burnt as it had left hyperspace, an anomaly in space time that shook reality itself, drifted towards a blue planet...
a message endlessly broadcast... "Mayday, mayday. This is UNSC FFG-201 Forward Unto Dawn, requesting immediate evac. Survivors aboard. Prioritization code Victor 5-3-Sierra-117"….
The ship broadcast it's message into the void… as It drifted aimlessly…
The Great Fox was in low Earth orbit… KOS-MOS had been having fun wth Fox all day and still had a few hours before the Elsa arrived… she was laying on Fox's chest rubbing his soft orange and white fur… she said to him “you know… I never thought this would be possible… I am quite happy you found me..."
Fox looked at her with exhaustion… she had run him into the ground… he said “ I never thought you would be this damn energetic… jeez… gimme a brea…." he was cut off as the intercom spoke… it was T-ELOS who said “Fox and the android get your asses up here we got something… something big..."
They both sighed… then looked at each other for second… then got dressed and headed for the bridge… when they arrived they heard a voice… female and obviously synthetic…
“Mayday, mayday. This is UNSC FFG-201 Forward Unto Dawn, requesting immediate evac. Survivors aboard. Prioritization code Victor 5-3-Sierra-117"
The voice repeated over and over… KOS-MOS said to T-ELOS “why are you adressing me as the android?"
T-ELOS responded sarcastically “would you rather me call you dumb ass instead... besides you need a new name… badly… we both do…"
KOS-MOS sighed and looked at the scans and saw the rear half of a small ship drifting… it still had power… barely and was broadcasting that message.
Fox then said “Alright Kos' , slip and… Krystal youre with me we are gonna check it out… get suited up… Telly get us close enough to board and when we are close enough do a sensor sweep… high intensity…
Fox then walked over to the elevator with the others… and they got in and headed for the hangar where they would get prepped for this recon op…
KOS-MOS said “I don't need to get suited up… I still have my armor and equipment… as well as the fact that I can survive in vacuum…" she sighed as her armor appeared on her… she noticed the ballistic nature of the ships weapons and chose her V-1 armor… as it had ablative and reactive plates as well as all her weapons… it wasn't as manouverable but offered the best protection…
As they entered the hangar of the Great Fox a massive two section chasm with gantries on the top and bottom sections with catapults for each one… their were two rows on each side of the top and bottom of each section… each row could hold 12 fighters… and in this case… did… the ship had been completely redone…
The Great Fox now had much better engines and was faster than the original… and had much improved armor using Vector tech…. As well as hundreds of vulcan and plasma batteries for defense… and for offense, she had four Hyper Velocity Cannons at the wing bases running the full length of the ship… as well as 40 bays of Ion emitters each bay had 8 emitters… the HVC's could propel a 20 ton depleted uranium slug at four tenths light speed…. Resulting in a round with over 50 megatons of power per shot and could be scaled back if needed… the ship now had space compressed interiors allowing for much higher quality rooms for all personnel which went from 80 people to over 200… she was a fine ship now...
All the old busted parts were brand new… and shiny… even the Arwings were new… based off of vector tech… they could transform into an AMWS as needed for ground warfare… and were equipped with two heavy Plasma cannons and 16 meson cannons on the nose gun and 12 ion emitters as well as 8 integrated micro missile pods… They still had the twin Nova Bomb launchers on the front…
The ion weapons looked like blue or red lasers that would home in on a target at high speed… they were fired in rapid volleys to shred a ships shields since by themselves they did little damage… however the ion emitters of a federation cruiser being mounted on a fighter… was terrifying… the Arwing MK-IV's now had a sleeker design and armored canopies all reminiscent of vector engineering… and they could go even faster in all environments thanks to logic drives as well as G-Diffusors.
The new Land Master MK-III tanks were impressive too as they had two particle projectile cannons on their turret which now could rotate freely and two heavy machine guns… but otherwise were relatively unchanged save for armor and agility…
The newest addition however was the new Sky Breacher drop ship… it had two nose mounted plasma cannons on a turret, four hornet missile pods on each of the three wings and two heavy plasma cannons in the main fuselage, along with 20 ion emitters... it used a G-Diffusor set for VTOL and fighter/gunship roles… and could comfortably seat and carry into a battle 12 soldiers… while carrying a tank… or it could carry supplies or other cargo… its three main engines were very powerful… and it could take a lot of punishment…
Once everyone had suited up they got into one of the drop ships… and the pilot was an annoying bird who KOS-MOS had to admit was a good pilot… if he could just shut the hell up…
“So… KOS-MOS you goin with me now… I'm flattered to be in your majestic presence oh princes..."
The bird spoke as Krystal shut off the intercom… thank god… he would run on endlessy about nothing just to make noise… like a bird normally would… Krystal then said “hey… its not his fault because he's a bird…"
KOS-MOS was used to Krystal's telepathy and enjoyed it and then thought to her “true… but he's still an ass who needs a lesson… now lets hope we don't find someone pissed off down there… I have dealt with enough bullshit"
The craft lifted off and then shot out of the hangar… and headed to the derelict spacecraft… they had no idea that KOS-MOS Dream was about to get very very real…
KOS-MOS had a really bad feeling about this… and she usually was never wrong about those…
