Andraste soon promptly jumped into the next region managing to avoid contact with the Imperial Navy for only a bit, but as it has become increasingly hard as they move towards Southeastern Region along with the Duchy Alliance Star Fleet. On his captain's seat Commander Gilroy Luminous the current acting Captain of Andraste due to the original Captain Star Commander Kane Raze was injured heavily and currently in the infirmary since their clash with the unknown stealth ship only a few days ago.
"Commander so far so contacts but from chatter through the region, I am not sure for how long we will be safe. So far the Imperial Navy have not let up their search. Our escape from the capital and pretty much making them look bad...", Nicky said from her seat.
"Right... anyways how is our guests?", Gilroy asked.
"Ven and his party are currently resting in the guests quarters though from I can tell....", Nicky was saying only hinting on what is wrong with their future Duke.
"Ya... he looks a bit bummed out likely what happened has shaken him a bit just give it time... for now I will be in the captain's cabin and begin formulating plan to get the fuck out of dodge. You have the bridge Lieutenant Commander.", Gilroy soon said leaving towards the captain's cabin.
In another part of the ship Ven was looking out the window toward the stars alone still in deep thought.
'Hrmm we escaped for now... but now what? I am no sooner in figuring out what is going on then anything. Something feels fishy and off... the whole order of the destruction of the Academia. The blood she put on me and that weird sensation I felt when it occurred. What the hell is going on and on that note... Anthony your alive I am glad but where have you been?'
As Ven continued these thoughts soon a person walked into the room he was in and noticed Zelesia from earlier.
"You seemed troubled there Marquis.", Zelesia soon said coming to his right.
"Ya... a lot has happened in the last two days, too much and no sooner I am figuring out what is going on.", Ven soon said then went silent for a bit.
Zelesia soon took a moment to compose herself then replies, "I will say this now Ven no matter what happens one day you will be ruling one of the most powerful Great Houses in the Empire. The situation we are facing is dire, this has never happened in the history of the Empire which Nobles are systemically captured or eliminated. The symbol that has kept the Empire united has been destroyed and now things are not certain."
"Certain... nothing is certain... maybe is what she meant?", Ven soon asked out loud.
"She?", Zelesia soon asked.
"My Ancestor Rebecca Avenor said that in one of her messages she left when I first got into the mansion. She said there is no certainty in the future only to be prepared for everything and protect the Empire's people from threats that could lead to man's ruin. This could explain House Avenor's rise in the last century; constant military build up, training, and always fighting the Empire's wars. It feels though she is not telling everything like there is something she knew that none of her descendants even know to this day. Something is amiss and I am not sure why.", Ven answered Zelesia promptly.
Zelesia soon understood then replies.

Suddenly several Imperial Navy ships broke into normal space from the same direction the Andraste had just arrived. Imperial Warbirds "Reckoning" and "Riposte". Accompanied by Light Cruisers, "Wing clip", "Achilles", and "Maim". A menacing assortment of ship names to be sure.
Senior Captain Angelos Davos in command gives the order for the light cruisers to overtake the Andraste. The Nymph Class light cruisers begin accelerating. Though it takes them time to reach max acceleration, despite whatever inertial dampeners they have, the crew can only take so much. However it isn't long before they're at near 2 acceleration rating.
Unfortunately they have orders to keep out of the enemy ship's close range weapons. Instead relying on their laser weapons to belt the enemy ship. Focusing their fire on the rear of the ship in hopes of damaging an engine block. However they do so without slowing down, which greatly hinders their accuracy, though also making them harder to hit.
Instead their purpose is to accelerate ahead of Andraste. At nearly 2 acceleration rating, they manage the feet, despite the wider approach they took. Now with a ship on either side, at max laser range, and one above relative to the enemy ship. They all descend over the path Andraste is taking, careful to stay far enough apart to cover as much the potential course changes Andraste might make. Each ship is equipped with 3 mine dispensers. Capable of deploying four mines in the space of one action. Making for 24 mines from each ship laid out behind them.
Because of the intertwining path, the acceleration the ships were going at, it makes for a somewhat unpredictable method of laying mines. The mines themselves are High Density Obstacles. No explosives, merely highly dense material, camouflaged to show up as smaller debris. They won't register the density until they're in very short range.
If the enemy slows, the other ships will overtake them quicker, and if they don't they will slam into some of these objects at high speed. The sheer speed plus object density could severely damage even heavy armor and do worse to lesser armor. The shield projectors however should dampen the impact to a degree. But without being able to immediate hone on where the mines will hit. It'll be hard to get the full affect of all the screens.

As Gilroy was plotting their next course knowing full well the next part is going to tricky just then the alert siren went off. Quickly exiting the Captain's Cabin on the bridge he soon entered it taking the Captain's Seat.
"Report!!", Gilroy ordered.
"Two Warbird Class ships and three Nymph Class Light Cruisers have jumped into the region and have begun heading in our direction!", the Sensor officer reported.
"Fuck... that was fast... then again this is the Imperial Navy for nothing!", Gilroy commented.
"Gilroy no time for jokes they about to attack!!", Nicky complained.
"Lieutenant have the entire crew into the safe zones and prepared for battle!! Alexis show me the visual feed of the map and the ships!!", Gilroy ordered which soon near the bridge a visual map was showing 5 dots and their own.
"Roger that Gilroy but why I have to listen to you makes me inch... I normally only take orders from Mistress Zelesia!!", Alexis said on a monitor.
"Just shut up and do it til the support OS for this ship is done in Aurlia you have to do for makeshift support!!", Gilroy soon said back.
Meanwhile at the other part of the ship.
"Alert all Crew this is Condition One all to General Quarters!! I repeat Condition One and General Quarters", Vicky said over the intercom.
"This is bad... they found us, marquis I suggest we head to...", Zelesia said only for Ven to start walking towards the bridge.
"Where are you going Ven?!!", Zelesia soon shouts with Ven simply replying,"Gilroy may make an good captain but I am better at this then him I only been good at two things in life. Fighting personally with my power armor with The Way of the Blazing Rose and commanding a Star Ship. The Imperial Navy cannot be underestimated their the best of the best of ship crew. They will not stop til this ship is sunk and I cannot allow this to happen. So I am going to go help Gilroy."
Zelesia was taken aback at this but soon remembered Gilroy when they first got on this ship its been a while to Ven figuring they knew each other from the Aurlian Star Academy days.
"Sir the Nymph Classes have gotten into range of their lasers from behind!! Wait their their firing!!", the Navigation officer reported.
"What is the trajectory of the lasers!!", Gilroy soon shouted.
"Their concentrating fire on one of our engine blocks!!", the Navigator replied.
"Concentrate all Particle Screen Emitter Shields into that engine block we cannot allow it to damage us much!!", Gilroy soon ordered.
Quickly the lasers came but due to inaccuracy of the lasers and the shields of the Andraste concentrating in that one section stopped all the lasers from hitting the engine block but the ship still shook from the fire.
"Their moving to cut us off sir!!", the sensor officer reported.
"Fuck!! Those ships tend to carry mines maybe we shou-", Gilroy was saying not sure what to order til Ven came into the bridge soon yelling, "Don't slow down Gilroy its a trap set by the Warbirds as soon as we slow down they will move in for the kill. First Alexis launch our Advanced Countermeasures to the ship above to stop it in its tracks. Weapons Officer we should have Maser Beam Arrays that can hit them at this range, their trying to avoid our much more powerful Pulsars. Due to the sheer speed of moving to cut us off they cannot maneuver to avoid being hit and the expected points they will go will be Point 32 and Point 40... within 45 seconds. As soon as those ships are sunk they are weak armored and a single maser beam from us can damage heavily two will outright disable it. Fire our masers towards the ships at that moment. Helmsmen as soon after firing begin turning our direction towards the left it will be a slow turn but we have no choice those Warbirds behind us are a problem. Have the Particle Screen Emitters be ready for any mine attacks may potentially can run into them!!"
"Ven... I see the passing the Star Academy captaining will nearly perfect grades paid off...", Gilroy soon pointed out.
"True... still we have to be careful two Warbirds alone can easily sink us.", Ven pointed out which Zelesia who was quiet was impressed by Ven's orders.
'He is actually serious...'
The orders were carried out promptly as Ven ordered.

The light cruisers were of course running standard combat operating procedures. As such they were randomly maneuvering with their ship maneuvering suite. At the speed they were moving it was enough through off the calculations by adding a random variable. Even so the masers were strafing across the intended zone. They managed to hit across the side of Achilles. Multiple sections were punctured and compartments depressurized. Resulting in several crew being vented into space. Fortunately many were wearing suits, though some lost their lives where penetration was deeper.
"We've got damage to multiple sections. Laser Batteries, one, two, and five have been disabled. We've lost output in engine block 2," The systems officer reported.
"Priority repair on engine block 2, maintain highest outpost possible with remaining engines," Captain Kumi Izino ordered quickly. "We should still be able to out pace them, so get us out of weapons range and keep coordinating with the other ships.
Light Cruiser Wing Clip fared better taking only short strafing hits. Though they did suffer some penetrations and reduced out put from one of their lasers. They did as Achilles did and accelerated faster outside of the range of Andraste. Alterting it's course to match Andrastea's turn, it dropped it's mine, along with Achilles.
"Our sensors are malfunctioning! We can't discern the location of the enemy ship or our allies with sensors!" The Coms officer said in a desperate tone.
"Optical systems to maximum effect!" Captain Bruno Arnes barked angrily.
They were able to use their optical systems to figure out the locations of the other ships. However accuracy would be greatly deterred. It was fortunate they had no intention of remaining in range of the weapons. They to accelerated out of the range of the masers and subsequently the ECM. However they held off on using the last of their mines.
Meanwhile, the two warbirds had the acceleration to overtake the Andraste, it was just taking longer. They had been at long range, avoiding using their missiles, due to the ECM. But now they were within medium range relative to Andraste. So now they fired their Large Particle bolt batteries. Twelve between the two ships. They also fired their missiles. While unable to track onto the Andraste they could still be dummy fired at the target. In this case they fired them in a spread so there was a higher chance of hitting.

"Hrmm expected...", Ven commented as Andraste's attack didn't sink the cruisers.
Ven looked on the map on the 2 red dots moving away and likely dropping mines, began formulating a plan. With the two Warbirds now coming into range Ven knew they didn't have much time left he then knew what to do next.
Soon the turn was completed but as it was a few mines managed to hit the ship an Engine block was disabled instantly and the armor was heavily damaged from behind.
"Sir the warbirds are firing!!", the radar officer soon reported.
"Fuck... quickly fire the Defense Point Pulse lasers and all Particle Screen Emitters to forward shields!! Brace for Impact!!", Ven ordered.
Soon the Warbird attack came the Andraste fired its Pulse Lasers trying to shoot down as many missiles as possible as the Bolt Particle weapon hits soon hit into the emitters. Large explosions and armor being destroyed soon was seen, across the ship people were being killed as the hits literally ridden Andraste with many punctured holes. As the dust settled the ship was still on fire inside and decompressing air.
"Report!!", Gilroy soon ordered as he managed to get up, across him the bridge seemed to be slightly hit as well as some sparks were evident.
"All Maser Beam Arrays are down as well half our our Pulse masers. Decks 8-37 were all hit but we managed to close off and save most of the crew in those sections. Power levels as well seem to be stabled but we have multiple fires across the ship!! Pulsars are still working but two engine blocks are down!!", someone managed to report thought bleeding on his head.
"Damn... I should've figured that would happen.. Ven commented as he got up.
"Eject the three dead weight engines they are going to slow us down as its impossible to fix them without a drydock.", Ven soon ordered which all three down engine blocks were ejected.
"So what now Ven?", Gilroy soon asked.
"Not much we can do... we are in no position to take down two warbirds... if it was just one we could have a chance of winning but two its impossible. Imperial ships are said to be the best ships within the entire Empire. Their loyalty to the Imperial House and doing everything for them is another problem. Dealing with absolutes.... its their greatest strength and greatest weakness. Maybe if we abandon shi-", Ven was saying til another ship soon jumped not too far from where the warbirds and Andraste were engaged.
"Sir another ship has just jumped into the battlefield... from the looks of it, it almost looks like a Warbird but different!!", someone soon reported.
"On Screen now!!", Gilroy soon ordered soon what they saw both of them stopped.
"Wait... isn't that?", Gilroy was saying only for Ven to finish it, "Its the Sky Breaker."
"Sky Breaker?", Zelesia managed to ask as she finally recovered.
"Sky Breaker is an old ship of the Empire. To be precise reason why it looks like a Warbird simply because it is one. Its an pre production type Warbird before they were put into production and one of the bases of the current Warbird Class.", Gilroy soon answered.
"What makes no sense if I remember correctly my sister said it was to be decommissioned since how unstable and unsafe the ship was. It does have same armament as a Warbird but slower and weaker armor. It only has a limited operating time as well before it overloads...", Ven also pointed out.
"Commander I am receiving a message via text to open channels with the Sky Breaker.", Vicky soon reported.
"On Screen... lets see who is trying to co-", Gilroy was saying only to jump to see who it was.
"Ven I am glad your alive..", Lurecia said still wearing her Vice Admiral uniform.
"Lurecia... what the Star Mother and Child are you doing here!!", Ven soon replied.
"I will explain later I am sending you a battle plan for our escape... after this lets talk.", Lurecia soon said.
Soon as the screen went blank soon Ven looked over the battle plan then understood. The Sky Breaker soon began moving towards the closest Warbird Class at its full speed then targeted it with its Bolt Particle Cannons toward it. Soon after the Andraste as well began to move at full speed it is still able to toward the second ship it continued heading towards the ship trying to get into range of its pulsars to attack it. Soon as the range closed in the Pulsars soon activated firing towards the Warbird in front of them.

"Turn! Give us distance!" The Captain of the lead warbird barked. The ship taking a few direct hits, causing multiple decompressions, and a fire on two decks. The captain initiated emergency measures and shut off several compartments as well as vented oxygen on the decks with fire. Damage control reports an engine block disabled, one bolt particle gun destroyed, and reduced sensor output from damage to the energy grid.
The ship maneuvered away from the closing Andraste, but still managed to get caught in a volley of pulsar weapons. Several more penetrations left many crew dead or vented into space where their protective suits could only endure the radiation for a few hours. Another explosion went off at aft of the ship. A missile tube had been hit and at least one munition went off. Damaging a second tube.
The ship returned fire on Andraste with it's 4 bolt particle guns and two remaining missile launchers.
Meanwhile the second Warbird vectored on a path that would allow it to blockade further fire form the Skybreaker, but the Andraste was still in position to fire on the wounded Warbird. It too fired on the Andraste with it's full compliment of six particle guns and four missile launchers.
The three light cruisers came about in a wide turn and started toward the Andraste and Skybreaker. Closing in to maximum laser range to pelt the Skybreaker, hoping to get her to pull away.

Soon Andraste was hit hard by the enemy fire, as it continued to attempt to fire on the incoming missiles but a few still got through. The particle screen emitters were at maximum trying to slow down the enemy fire but soon the systems were overloaded at the amount of fire it received. Throughout the ship hull breaches occured and many people were being thrown out of the Andraste.
On the bridge of the Sky Breaker Lurecia saw as as the ship was soon hit by lasers which penetrated parts of the hull but minor damage on its armor.
"Vice Admiral the Andraste has been heavily damaged and multiple hull breaches throughout the ship I am not sure if she can take another hit.", her first officer soon reported.
"Damn it... we need to get the heat off Andraste move Sky Breaker into interception range of the second Warbird.", Lurecia soon ordered.
Quickly the Sky Breaker moved at full speed towards the second Warbird Class though an older prototype ship it is still considered one of the bases of the current Warbird class.
"Remember we do not have much time before the systems overload from the stress of battle. On my mark.... fire!!", Lurecia soon ordered which the entire Bolt Particle Gun armament are soon fired towards the Warbird Class well it was heading towards it.
Meanwhile on the Andraste a fire broke out in the bridge and some people were injured. Ven managed to get back on the captain's chair bit on his head a bit of blood from hitting something too hard.
"Report!!", Gilroy soon ordered as he helped Nicky up who both were slightly injured as the fire was put out by Zelesia.
"The ship is heavily damaged... the Masers Cannons are offline, the particle screen emitters were overloaded and exploded. As well our anti air defense is completely gone.", the navigation officer reported as the Radar Officer was killed in the fire.
"What of the crew?", Ven soon quickly asked worried about those who came with him.
"I am receiving reports of many casualities many looks like were killed in the impact... don't worry Ven the deepest part of the ship is fine so your friends are all right.", Vicky soon reported.
Ven soon nodded and noticed Lurecia moving towards the second warbird.
"What of the Pulsars?", Ven soon asked.
"Their working but they cannot handle to fire again without exploding.", the Navigation officer then reported.
Just then Ven had an idea which Gilroy went to his ear whispering, "I know that look Ven... what your thinking I wou-"
"Gilroy it is the only way have the escape pods and have the transport we came in ready to go I want at least the people I came with the escape.", Ven soon answered.
"Fuck Ven fine... then.", Gilroy soon replied.
"Helmsmen have all power to engines and weapon systems. Prepare for ramming speed Brace for impact!!", Ven ordered. which soon Andraste moved toward at full speed for the greatly wounded Warbird.
"Gilroy have Alexis wire the Pulsars to fire once we impact... evacuate the crew from the forward portion of the ship to the back.", Ven ordered promptly.
Soon the Andraste began to close in to ram then fire the pulsars at point blank for maximum damage, but it would lead to parts of Andraste being blown up with the Warbird as they are fired.

The Warbird would have avoided the collusion had another engine block not be knocked out by the Andraste's weapons. The entire ship shook at the force of the two hitting. The right side of the ship's hull and structure buckling under the stress. The only thing that saved both ships was the fact the Warbird was trying to move away from Andraste. However now both ships were practically welded together.
The warbird's power distribution malfunctioned and many systems went offline. With emergency power kicking for life support.
"We're dead in the water Captain!" The XO of the warbird shouted over the various alarms.
"All hands to arms. We're engaging in boarding actions. I want you to round up as many security personal as you can. I want a team ready to hunt that little noble down," The Captain barked angrily as he floated down the corridor to the bridge's weapons locker.
Meanwhile the second Warbird turned all of it's weapons on the Skybreaker. The three Nymph class light cruisers maintained max distance on their laser weapons. Pelting the skybreaker as they did.

"Damn... that hurt...", Gilroy managed to say.
"Alright all hands abandon ship!! Alexis use the master code to have Andraste over load the reactor in a silent self destruction.", Ven soon ordered.
"Eh?!! We not fighting?!!", Gilroy managed to ask.
"We cannot win against the better train Imperial Marines who can easily overwhelm the crew and without Alexis to deactivate the self destruct they will not be able to stop it even if they send a team toward the engineering room. Aurlia made sure it would be impossible for them to stop it unless their one of the best trained teams to stop this kind of shit.", Ven soon answered which soon Alexis appeared on the monitor showing the time limit.
"10 minutes... we only got 10 minutes....", Gilroy soon muttered which then Ven unplugged Alexis and threw it to Zelesia.
Ven soon activated the Captain's chair taking out the hand gun that fire plasma pellets hen fired on the chair.
"Now its impossible for them to stop it... come on only 10 minutes!!", Ven soon yelled.
The order to evacuate was soon issued and everyone began running towards the escape pods, in the engineering room with the reactor, thje engineers began taking out their weapons and fired at all consoles for good measure and then left the room before jamming the door to the reactor. Ben and company soon quickly began heading to the shuttle in the hangar as soon as the word was given all taking their seats waiting on Ven, Gilroy, Zelesia, Nicky, and Vicky to get to the transport.
Meanwhile in the battle Sky Breaker was soon heavily damaged with multiple hull breaches.
"Turn about!! Target the engines of the last Warbird I want her disabled now!!", Lurecia soon ordered as the Sky Breaker was taking a huge beating.
Knowing full well if they lost here it was over for them, promptly the Sky Breaker turns toward the last Warbird firing what left of its weapons toward the engines of the Warbird hoping to disable its speed.

The last active Warbird took a few hit's to it's rear sections. Losing output an engine and suffering reduced output from a second. However it managed to return fire with all of it's weapons. As well the three light cruisers continued to pick away at the Sky Breaker in the hopes of destroying it. At this rate it was only a matter of time, the light cruisers alone would be a hard fight, but the Warbird is superior to it's pre-production version.
Yet another ship broke from jump space not far from their location. A Sarcanus Stug Class Heavy Destroyer though it did not bare the markings of the Sarcanus House navy. Instead of the red colors of the House, it had a checkered red and black pattern across it's hull. The ship's identification read "The Bastard". It accelerated to .95 acceleration. Five particle screens lit up across it's surfaces.
"Let's show them our bite," Captain Allous said casually from his leopard skin couch.
"Aye sir," A woman with a black eye patch replied.
A heavy class railgun projectile spat from the center of the ship and raced across the distance. Slamming into the side of the Warbird. Penetrating deep within it.
"Within laser range, sir." Said the low voice of the woman from before.
"Pour it on," The Captain replied casually.
Three medium lasers along the left and three along the right light up across the expanse of space. Stitching wounds across the hull of the Warbird.
"Now Captain?" The female XO inquired with the same calm expression she wore the entire time.
"Yes. Put me on," The Captain gestured, sitting up a bit, and straightening his expensive black shirt.
A video transmission is sent to all ships within vicinity.
"This is Captain Allous of The Bastard. We're here under contract to escort Ven Ablanor-" He started to say with a bit of pravado.
"Avenor, sir."
"What?" He said looking off screen.
"Avenor sir, it's pronounced Avenor." She explainedly calmly.
"Avenor? What a stupid name.. who came up with such a thing?" He complained to the person off screen.
"It's been around for many years, sir," She replied just as calmly in her almost soothing voice.
Captain Allous nodded as if he'd just learned something new. Then turned back to the camera, pointing it with his many ringed fingers.
"Oh right. Yes. We're here to escort him to his home space. Or not, it's up to him, in any case. The rest of you Imperials bugger off somewhere," he went on then cut the feed.

As Ven and the rest of the bridge officers finally arrived at the bay they were almost at the launching pad when a few Imperial Marines broke through a door firing at them. Ven and Gilroy fired back at the enemies as they moved into the transport then shutting the door.
"Fuck man these guys just don't quit!!", Gilroy managed to say.
"Their Imperials Gil... they dont fuck around...", Ven managed to reply.
"How much time til reactor goes boom?", Ben soon appeared to them from the seats.
"Err what was it again?"Gilroy asked.
" Oh 35 seconds...", Alexis said from her terminal in Zelesia's pocket.
"Oh...", everyone soon said.
"WHAT?!! LIN GET US THE FUCK OUT OF HERE NOW!!", Ben soon screamed at the top of his lungs when the transport suddenly launched out throwing Ven, Gil, Nicky, Vicky, and Zelesia into a wall well Ben grabbed on something for his dear life.
"Already on it!!", Lin said over the intercom as the transport shout of the Andraste.
"God damn it Lin next time warn us!!", Ben soon shouted.
As the transport exited and moved out of the way of the Andraste it soon exploded after the new ship's message was sent for all to see.
Lurecia saw as the escape pods left Andraste as well the transport as Andraste exploded hoping Ven was alright. The Sky Breaker itself was disabled from the last attack already she was about to call for ramming speed when the new ship arrived with its message.
"Well I guess someone wanted Ven to survive after all... communications officer put me through to The Bastard.", Lurecia soon ordered.
"This is former Vice Admiral Lurecia of House Avenor currently the person you have been contracted is in the transport ship that just left the next generation Star Cruiser Andraste that just blew up. I would also request if it is possible to transfer our crew and the remaining who survived to your ship. We are not too many anyways only 30 people on this ship and from the escape pods likely only a few dozen survive the Andraste. Though these Imperials are not helping..", Lurecia soon said.

The Warbird decided to come about and fire on The Bastard. However as it did it took another railgun slug to the side. Abruptly the ship's engines cut out and it ceased firing. It's generator core had suffered a malfunction causing the power to cease flowing throughout the ship. Though they did manage to return power to the ship by that point the ship had been a sitting duck. Though technically it was still moving on momentum, it was not longer evading, making targeting it predictable. The seven medium lasers of The Bastard concentrated instead of raking the ship. This allowed them to penetrate deeper into the ship caused multiple fires as well.
The Light Cruisers also tried to engage The Bastard. Firing their lasers at it. However it shifted it's particle screens on the flank they were attacking. Greatly diminishing the their effectiveness only leaving faint cosmetic damage.
"Oh, hello there," Captain Allous said with a come hither look in his eyes. So subtly undoing the top button of his shirt that one might not notice it. But then the ship rocked slightly from an attack. "TELL THOSE ASSHOLES TO BACK OFF IF THEY VALUE THEIR LIVES!" he barked in a totally different voice.

Lurecia soon heard and saw this captain which made her feeling sighing.
'Great... one of those guys...'
"I don't command them their orders are to capture Ven Avenor, regardless my crew and I are coming over bye.", Lurecia said as he hanged up on the man and called all to abandon ship.
As the transport ship and escape pods with their limited engines headed towards The Bastard, Ven heard about the ship that arrived.
"Who would want to save us?", Ben soon pondered.
"Wait it was a Sarcanus Stug Class? Hrmm he wouldn't would be?", Ven soon pondered if Patriel would actually save him.

Captain Allous reached for the screen when Lucrecia ended the transmission. Then slumped his head down. However another rumble made him raise his head. "I've had enough of these small fries! Hit the lead light cruiser with a volley and all lasers. Finish the warbird with our heavy weapons!" he barked angrily as he sat back on his couch. Stretching his arm across it and sighing as he ran a hand through his long hair.
A hail of six small missiles raced toward the lead light ship. Many of them making contact and causing explosions. The light armor of the ships made these weapons reasonably effective despite their size. Combined with the laser fire it caused the ship to veer away and end it's pursuit and attacks. The other two continued to approach and attack, however, when a heavy railgun shell and two large particle beams caused the last remaining warbird to explode. They both began veering off as well.
"Fuck, finally, pick up those ablenor guys or whatever" Allous said with a sigh.

Soon the escape pods and transport of Andraste were picked up by the bastard as the transport from Sky Breaker with the small skeleton crew with Lurecia soon also transferred to the bastard. As they all began to enter into the ship some on Andraste pods were being brought in specialized stretchers for space for quite a few were wounded. Ven soon exited out the transport with the rest of his group and began to look around.
"This does feel like a Sarcanus ship but different.", Ven noted as he soon saw his sister exit out of her transport.
Ven waved her over which she pushed her self as the section they were in was in low gravity due to taking in the pods.
"Lurecia you actually here an-", Ven was saying before she hit him on his head.
"That was for the stupid shit you pulled ever since the tournament. You know how reckless you are and how close you were to dying!!", she shouted at her younger brother.
"I know I know reckless as maybe but it worked right? Sometimes risks have to be taken.", Ven soon replied.
"By the Star Mother... father your second son is so similar to you its scary!!", Lurecia soon said with over exaggeration.
There Ven laughed for only a moment and enjoyed a small reunion with his closest of kin.
