Here is some fan fiction I cooked up myself. Feel free to comment on it. I will release new chapters to the story when I am done with them. I have more posted in my group; Fire of Tru7h. Hope you like it.
Chapter 1: The perdition
The trip was almost over. Soon we would be home, and finally peace would finally be attained. Only a few more days until the-
“Captain, we are picking up a covenant distress call, nearing our location.” Suddenly, Caption Morris was ripped from his day dream, and hurled into the realm that is known only as reality. A small holographic figure appeared before the Captain, dressed as a Greek soldier. “Isolate the signal. How far is it from our location, Odysseus?”
“Scanning. Aprocsamitly 2300 kilometers from our location. Sir, it is traveling in the same slip space path as us, and decelorationg into normal space.”
“Follow it. If it is sending a distress signal, it has to be damaged, or crippled. Taking it out should be easy with the new weapon systems on board.”
“Eye, eye”
“Sir, the covenant ship is coming into view” yelled the deck navigator.
Suddenly, a humongous covenant carrier appeared on the main view screen
“Odysseus, what is that” said the captain with an astonished look on his face.
“It amperes to be a covenant carrier, nothing in my database.”
“It seems odd that such a large ship would be unescorted. No mater. Take it out before it has a chance to fire on us. Warm up Mac guns 1 and 2”
“Sir, the ship is exselorationg, heading for the gas giant in the distance.”
“Mac guns one is ready to fire. 2 is 86% charged.” Yelled the weapons system officer.
The Mac guns were large cannons witch fired a 4 ton molten hunk of mettle at an incredible speed, using reverse polarity. It was odd to have more than one Mac gun on an ordinary ship, but then again, the Perdition wasn’t an ordinary cruiser.
“Mac guns at 100%”
“Open fire!”
Suddenly, there was a large explosion, and the captain was nearly thrown from his chair along with most of the deck crew and the lights flickered on and off.
“Odysseus! What the he!! Was that! Status! Did the ship fire on us?”
“No sir, the plasma coupling on the main reactor has overloaded, and burst. Im rerouting power from the reserves as we spea- The covenant carrier! It has diapered in side the gas giant.”
“What do you mean? Hasn’t the weapons systems been field tested?”
“They have been tested in simulations. Captain, this is an experimental ship using stolen covenant technology. Problems were bound to occur. This is a minor problem. We should be fully operational in a few moments, after I re rout the power.”
“I knew I shouldn’t have accepted this mission. Keep an eye on that curser. Blow it to he!! As soon as we are back on line.”
The captain’s mission was to pilot an experimental ship, full of experimental infantry weaponry and engineers to earth, to fortify its defenses.
“Sir”
“Are we back online Odysseus?”
“No sir…..5 covenant class battle ships have just emerged from the gas giant.”
