[O - G04] Zoid Ambush

Location: Fractor V - G04

After entering the G04 system, it did not take Hannibal long to realize that the ship was not proceeding to a specific location. They instead set an orbit on the 3rd star in between Fractor VII and IX. And waited.

Hannibal - "I'm ready whenever you want to clue me in to what we are doing here."

Rockwell - "You will see soon enough..."

The pilot was tense. His wife, manning the rear guns, also had white knuckles and a no interest in chatting with the passenger. Then it happened...distress calls from Fractor V. At the time, Hannibal was vexed by his inability to recognize the strange accent and peculiar impediment in the caller's speech, but he could tell that this man was scared.

Rockwell fired the engines and Hannibal was pressed into the back of his seat. He was certain that if he weren't a pilot, the amount of Gs they just pulled would have quickly incapacitated him. He could only focus on his breathing and attempt to follow their heading. Two small ships came into view.

The first was round and yellow. It seemed to have people crawling around on the outside of it and it was certainly pursuing the smaller red craft.

Hannibal first mistook the smaller craft for a Kawashita vessel, but dismissed that notion as unlikely based on their location far from Kawashita territory. It also seemed to be piloted by the garglely, lispy man screaming though the comm.

Rockwell brought the Gadfly in fast, rotating to face all of his forward guns on the yellow ship, and blasted into the ships side.

As debris splintered off, Rockwell continued to fire at the powerless sections of the ships hull. Those people were crawling around and jumping between the floating scrap. Dipping the Gadfly's nose, Rockwell gave his wife the opportunity to finish of the spacemen with her more precise array.

Callahan - "Slavers, Mr. Hannibal. Constantly harassing our routes and, now, picking up the scraps of our people who are fleeing the Alien occupation forces. We don't have the numbers or resources to create successful convoys, and now that the fleet has moved in, we need safe havens to hide our people. We need Octan's help."

Neat spacecraft! Is the windscreen on the red ship from the new Ferrari?

[Graham Gidman]

Absolutely terrific!

That zoid ship is wonderful. Looks bulky and intimidating. I like the zoids dressed in space/flight suits.

Amazing shaping! Great designs and colors, my favorite is the red one.

I really like how you have tucked those gray engines into the top and sides of the yellow craft

It is, I got lucky Edit: just looked up the BL price... I got REALLY lucky

Thanks, they are actually just resting on top (securely) connected to each other by hinges. It was a quick fix to gaps in the hull
