GAMMA QUAD
MatterHorn stood on the starboard side of the Fleet, as the followed some 20 minutes behind the Alpha fleet. The Buoys made the Delta Fleet 'invisible' on screens..only eyes could see them ... Both the Alphas and Gammas had no idea where the Deltas were, as they did not have the correct transponders...
those who did not close thoier blast windows.. or? watched through the Gun feeds... The space was Littered with wreckage. Parasite shuttle tumbled or floated through space... Hundreds of thousands of UEs, bodies shattered by The Black, or by explosions..
The Ewald was easy enough to see.. at Battered ESN Cap ship, with smaller explosions around it, as Gamma fighters tried to clean the parasites off.. or shot down fresh, incoming, shuttles.
in the distance larger explosions of the Alpha Fleet as they , gamely fought on, dragging largran and Creshains with them, like giant magnets...
The Wolfhaert was trailing smoke and atmo, it had broken off, and headed towards Matterhorn's Uppers.. to get some protect from its AA guns and fighters..... Its still fired as it moved... a creshains Cap ship went 'nova' as its power cells must have been hit.. taking our scores of bug shuttles and fighters in the explosion.
Hack watched it all.. grimly... thus far it was working.. but once the 9 hells rained down on the Empire ships.. things would switch... the only difference ...the Delta fleet. was a much bigger hammer...
