A New Begining (Page 159 of 214)

jasen: fly a defensive pattern around this section of the fleet.+

Y'all didn't really think that the ship of the great Mandalorian leader would be bare. No others ships to protect it, shield generators that could be destroyed from the outside, only four really ass kicking canons. Come on... this is Manda'lor we're talking about here. You'd have to make your way through practically another Mandalorian fleet to get anywhere near his ship.

There will always be decoys but don't worry, there's only one this time.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pilot: They retreat to their fleet, sir. Should I tell the fighters to follow them?

Mandalore: Call off all the fighters and send in a spec. ops. squadron. Be sure to tell them to use full power and stay clear of the Republic ships. We don't want them knowing we were here.

Pilot: Yes, sir.

Mandalore's Bodyguard: (walks onto the bridge)
(bows) Manda'lor.

Mandalore: (turns to face him)
Yes, Dran?

Dran: (stands)
She has arrived.

Mandalore: Good. Let's see what she thinks about this "soldier".
(begins to leave)
(grabs the Mandalorian Leader's shoulder)
I have... someone to meet. I leave you in charge of the operation, Jaak. Make sure nothing remains of the woman's ship or her friends that will lead to us but be sure to leave the right evidence.

Jaak: (bows slightly)
Yes, Manda'lor.

...
Meanwhile
...

(the Mandalorian fighters fall back to their ship)

not really jester.
------------------

amos: they pulled back?

jasen: they want us to gather more fighters and blitz them right up the middle.

(thinks for a moment)

amos: it's your call LC.

jasen: tell all battleships and cruisers under my command to be ready to move.

amos: you're gonna blitz them?

jasen: i'm gonna blitz em.

Thor: (Over com) Jasen, What are your orders?

Thor: (over com) Jasen, After the battle with the mercs we have 5 Cruisers and have 100 fighters ready to go and the crew is working on another 150 that were damaged during the fighting.

Thor: Crew member, How long on the fighters being fixed?

Crew member: Sir, 2 hours until they are all fixed.

Thor: As soon as you get a fighter done send it to the bay to be launched.

Crew member: Yes Sir.

Thor: (over com) Jasen, 2 hours until all the fighters are fixed but but I am sending the 100 fighters to you now and soon as a fighter is fixed they will fly and meet you. I am on the Cruiser Echo and I will back you up and hold off the other cruisers until we have all fighters in the air.

(The 100 fighters leave the bays of the Republic Cruisers and meet up with Jasen and the rest of the fighters)

amos: the two hours we spent stregthening ourselves is also two hours they have to do the same...  we have the element of surprise. hit them hard... hit them now!

(pilots are heard talking in agreement over the coms)

jasen: good point... okay... all fighters and cruisers form up and follow me. we move to engage the mandalorians.

jasen: wait.... something's not right...

amos: what?

jasen: they're not forming defense or offense patterns...

amos: we have the element of surprise. that's why.

jasen: we thought the same thing on Eres III, and it turned out to be a minefield. all units fall back!

(the ships head in the opposite direction)

jasen: keep the fighters in the bay until i call for them.

amos: so if your theory is correct then what do we do?

jasen: fight fire with fire. they're proximity mines, right? all we do is deploy debris and the mines will explode.

amos: should we make that an executive order?

jasen: yes.

amos: deploy debris!

(the debris is deployed towards the minefield)

(explosions)

amos: it seems you were right.

jasen: okay all units go! thor give me my birds from your bay, load up your cruisers and follow us in!
