One of the deck officers looks at her captain's clenched jaw worryingly.

'Shushō, are you sure...'

'Call the fleet and tell them we have pest control work to do.'

'Ryōkai. Opening ansible comms... Fleet, this is CS-18382 Senkensha, requesting weapons free and military support for anti-piracy and slavery actions.'

'Message received, Senkensha. Confirming request... You're clear. Give 'em hell, Nanase-san. Shushō Madoka of the Ozaki clan is cleared for combat duties. Weapons free, Senkensha.'

The captain turns back to the comms.

'I've just received confirmation that a number of Consortium vessels are now inbound. If you can hold for about one Terran hour, we'll be able to assist you in driving off these slavers,' she says, spitting out the last word. "Thank you we will never-" the pilot is cut off when his ship explodes after a MAF ship comes screeching out of the planet. 'Open fire and enter evasive maneuvers,' the captain calmly says. 'I want that ship destroyed.'

Plasma blasts streak through space, blue lances of energy tracking the MAF ship. The ship takes a beating before escape pods are ejected and the ship explodes. Soon a CI signal is picked up. 'Identify yourselves.'

'Shushō, the fleet will arrive momentarily.'

'Good.'

Several Consortium vessels flicker with pseudomotion as they appear near the embattled scoutship, comprising a Shijō-class dreadnought, three Shinsei-class battlecruisers, and several dozen smaller vessels. All immediately begin launching the nimble Hikari fighters of the Consortium, as well as all their other complements, and begin setting up a defensive field of fire. The signal flickers in and out and then goes steady. It seems to be CI naval officers ordering an evacuation of the planet.
