Hint of Rum

Kiru turned to face the large overhead display monitor, the massive Amarrian Interdictor bursting into flames. It was done; It was finally done. For now, this sector of Gallente space would be free of the slave trade, and he could collect his pay.

He turned to his second in command, an intent and humorless woman named Dalylia, and said, "There are two encrypted channels held on my personal line. One is to the Security jurisdiction, the other is personal. Open both." Dalylia quietly nodded, intent on scanning the monitor overhead for stragglers.

"Sir! Sir! The main artillery is back online now!"

"Thank heavens." Kiru said. The capsuleer was blowing holes in their ships, but had already lost half of his drones, thanks to Drege's sacrifice, and his ship was held together by nothing but a thin alloy skeleton, but he still ripped apart Kiru's main battery and the rest of his squadron.

In came two Gallente frigates, providing webifiers, warp scramblers, and target jamming.

"Focus the fleet on the Capsuleer. We'll personally handle his backup."

Dalylia opened fleet channels, and the wing of Frigates formed around the Cruiser.

Drege flew directly into the Capsuleer, as was his usual trick, and his ship began to sputter out, unable to use its afterburners as the Capsuleer drained his capacitor of all energy. "I can't get out of range! Kiru, give me fire support!"

Kiru watched intently on the overhead display as Drege began to scream in fury, when Dalylia muted his correspondence, giving Kiru room to give orders.

"Focus on those Hobgoblins, if those break free from Drege everybody in the fleet is in serious danger." Kiru demanded. Breaking his speech, he watched the drones begin to melt through the Frigate.

"And Drege, sir?" Dalylia asked in a hushed tone.

"Drege... will buy us some time." Kiru responded, equally mute.

Both watched quietly until the blazing storm of steel that was Drege's ship exploded in a fiery blaze.

They were being ripped apart with surgical precision. Overhead, the loud speakers spoke out. It was Jericho. "My ship's falling apart!" he yelled.

Kiru switched his overhead view to Jericho, who was being hit with a flurry of torpedoes, but stayed on course.

"Jericho, get out of there." Kiru said.

"No, No retreat." Jericho said.

"I mean it, Warp out! We can give you cover fire."

"Sorry man." Jericho said. "Tell Dalylia what I told you, okay?"

Kiru held back his emotion. "I will... I promise."

"Thanks." was the last crackle from his speaker as his ship began to rip apart, only to collide with the guns on the Capsuleers Interdictor, engulfing both the guns and Jericho's ship in a mad explosion. "Drege, you're lagging behind, get up there now."

The speaker crackled back "Sir!"

Sitting in his cramper quarters, Kiru took a sip from a large bottle of Rum. A joke from a friend from his life back on land, who insisted a "Pirate needs Rum" and gave him a small storage on his way offworld. He was about to head into battle in a Cruiser, and assuming the Capsuleers combat line held, he'd be warping in only 20 kilometers away from him. All the crew needed was a single victory, just the one destroyed Interdictor, and he would never return to Gallente space to escort the slave trade. He was curious how to celebrate his victory were he to win, and he decided to surprise his friend by contacting him personally. As the Cruiser slowly reached the end of a massive warp, he set up a channel to both his friend and the Gallente security firm. He would make contact with both assuming his victory. He got up, straightened his uniform, and hid the rum on his breath with a mint, and made his way towards the control room.

"All Frigates, pull into formation." Kiru ordered, as they came out of warp into a field of scrap to reinforce a depleted raiding force.
