Snippet #2415149

HDS Ramstein,
Battlefleet Titan

The Admiral on board grunted, watching his men closely with a fierce growl. He stood and marched to the glass windows on the command bridge of the HDS Ramstein, "Prepare for combat, get the other battle fleets out of here. I will not have a conflict outside the Cybran Border!" He turned and looked at the comms operator who was picking up contact from the fighter squadrons, "Are they ready?!"

The Comms officer nodded and fussed before he stated the fact, "The Fighters are ready and waiting orders. The bombers are finishing launching and will soon want orders." He turned again, telling the other fleets to get out the way of the Battle Fleet Titan. It was suitably named for the simple reason of its size and capable might. The intense commanders and Captains of each of the battle ships were groaning and grunting, moving their ships towards the combat.

The Admiral swallowed and nodded, "Tell them to engage, but not to fire a shot. I want to see the speed of the enemy before we take full action, prepare the Plasma weapons and ready the Nichato Lasers and cannons. I want a lock on these ships, all of them. I don't care what we see their purpose for, but if anything enters CNS, even by an inch, I want to know. If they do, I will give the order to fire. This is not a drill, this is real combat, understand?"

The Command crew nodded, making a single word in unison, "Yes." They quickly busied themselves with their duties. Their black uniform perfectly pressed and ready, the names on each on them on their shirts, above the left chest pocket.

The Admiral turned to Comms officer and grunted, "What is the news with the loom for the Old Order?"

"Yes, move in and engage, but do not fire, understand Captain?" The Comms officer spoke down the microphone to Holtz. His voice loud and clear. He turned to the Admiral and sighed, "They have located a planet and have launched a small resource group down to scout. The only words coming back is that they have been Captured and the Nations on that world are planning an assault on the Casgrax System, measurements have been stepped up around the Cybran Nation for full scale war. There are around ten new large sized battlefleets being created every day, and the Heer are upgrading their forces."
