01x09 - Target: the Commander

[bunniefuu]

Space Pilot Hagenson. Space

Pilot John Lee. And I'm Barry

Hercules, Doctor.

The Alliance battlecruiser has failed to

defeat X b*mber on the planet Alaria.

The Imperial Master is angered and

summons Commander Makara and Captain Orin

to return to the Thalian Zone for trial

and execution.

Commander Makara, reporting by your

divine command. Commander Makara and

Captain Arion, step forward.

Imperial Arthur.

Commander Makara, that's the entrance to

the execution chamber. I said step

forward.

Oh, that is a guillotine. I will wait

outside. Stop.

Commander Makara, I want your report.

Where is F01?

Where is F01?

Commander, you are the one who can save

us. You must give him an answer. Why are

you whispering?Forgive me. We

know where the F01 is, but we were unable

to take it. You returned to the Imperial

Alliance, having failed in your mission.

You understand the penalty for that?

Please, your Imperial Majesty. You see,

there were unforeseen circumstances. In

any battle plan, there are events that

cannot be determined beforehand. We

encountered a new Earthship, the

X-b*mber, an extraordinary fighting

machine. I won't listen to any excuses.

Commander Makara. Failure in the eyes of

the Imperial Master means death, as you

know. Step forward,

Commander Makara. The guillotine awaits

your pleasure. Please

wait, Imperial Master. Please believe me,

I am not at all afraid of death. I merely

want you to understand the truth about

the failure of my mission so that you may

judge the motivation behind our strategy.

I beg you, give me the chance to explain

all. Very well, Commander.

I will acknowledge your request and

review the battles in detail with you.

Now look,

this is the first battle in their solar

system. You destroyed their Astro

fighters and then went on to

attack their Pluto base.

All Imperial fighters stand by to launch.

Our target is Pluto Alpha Base and you,

Captain Orion, will take command of your

divine guidance.

I want an answer now, Commander of

the Earth. I know you possess this

information. After all, you are a member

of Starfleet. I command.

You have heard of F01, haven't you?

No. I wanted a civilized conversation.

However, there are other ways to

make you talk. Laser memory dissimulator.

Laser dissimulator. Ready. Good. Begin

at your command.

Once more, increase voltage. Your

command.

Increase it further. Your command.

Commander Makata. You tortured your

hostage, Captain Carter of Pluto Base,

but he did not tell you anything about

F01, so you then proceeded

to attack the Earth. But Imperial

Master, they attacked us in one last

desperate defence with a new battle

cruiser, the X b*mber

Standby. Laser torpedoes fire.

Attention. Stand by for forced landing.

Doctor. Engine ready.

Right. Burner's on.

He's turning, Doctor. Target locked in.

Power to main shield.

Laser beam fire now.

Laser beam ready, Doctor. Firing now.

Oh,

look out. Turn back.

Retreat.

The X b*mber was now crippled on the

surface of the moon, and you proceeded to

the headquarters of Starfleet Command.

There you demanded they hand over the

F-01. When they refused,

you destroyed their defenses.

The F01 at last Orion set

course immediately for Moon Base

Hyperspeed. If this is the deception, we

will know when she's captured and

interrogated. Yes, Commander

X b*mber has taken off from Moon Base

Commander. Did you hear that X b*mber has

taken off?What?These earth creatures,

they have tricked us once again.

X impulse fire. X impulse

firing now. Look

out. What's that?Retreat. Oh yeah.

Commander Makara, you still believe

you employed the right tactics.

Imperial Master Captain Orion was given

orders to destroy X b*mber, something

which he failed to do, and so he failed

in his duty to the Alliance. You started

well. Your attack on Pluto Alpha Base was

a success, but you underestimated the

power of this X b*mber. A fatal flaw

in your strategy that you and you alone

must take responsibility for. Commander,

look at this. This is

when you were constructing your secret

base on Jupiter. You led X

b*mber on route to the Pluto base

into the asteroid belt. But

then see what happened.

Yellow alert transports retreat.

Red alert. Hercules. Force field. Stand

by. All ready, Sir.

Force field on.

Fire. Fire now.

We got her. 45 degrees to port.

Fire now.

Firing. You

imbecile. You cannot destroy one battle

cruiser. What do you have to

say?Commander Makara, why don't

we lure X-b*mber back to

our base on Jupiter where we can destroy

it again?It was Captain Audience's

useless attack. That allowed X b*mber to

escape us in the asteroid belt and then

follow us to our secret base. It was a

bold tactic to lure them, as you did,

into the methane sea. But

still, without success, let us see how

you failed this time.

Laser Dorpidos ready to fire, Captain!

Laser! Dorpidos! Wait! Take your

time... in destroying

them. X-b*mber... won't

escape this time.

Docker, there, straight ahead. Gee, it's

a base. On Jupiter.

They built a base just like you said,

Doctor. Let's blast it out of the solar

system. Yes, we must destroy it.

Right. Battle stations. All systems

normal, Sir. Defense

is very strong. Gyro, direct approach.

Yes, Sir.

Hard to starboard. Ready with laser

torpedoes?Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

Laser torpedoes ready.

Watch out, Lee. Someone is behind us.

Large alien craft moving up behind us.

Right engine's been hit. Transfer power

from main shields.

Doctor, look! We will be destroyed!

Look out! It's going to hit us!

Chyro, maintain evasive maneuvers. Yes,

sir. Ha

ha ha! They weave and they dance.

Ha! But they will not escape.

Keep them in the quadrant above the base.

Gyro, Hercules, leave. Get

ready to launch.

Let's go, Hercules. I'm with you. Lee,

we'll attack from above. That leaves you

on the ground. OK, Gyro. Go!

Good luck to you, gentlemen.

Fire lasers.

Darn.

Lee here. I've just landed. Lasers on all

sides. These guys don't play around.

Oh, no. What is Shyro doing?They're still

finding us from below. Get the boys

going for the k*ll. Their defenses have

weakened. Goodbye, X-b*mber.

Vanya, hold on. PBA. Pull yourself

together.

More evasive measures.

Captain, what news of the base?There is

no damage. Their fighters cannot come

close, no matter how they try.

Very well. You know what to do.

This time I'll make it.

Darn.

Shiro, I can't sh**t. There are rocks in

my way. Same with me,

Lee. What's happening down there?

I'm being you for target practice. Lee,

Hercules, it's time. Put Dyax into

operation. Right. OK, boss.

Lake track docking now.

Main body. Docking.

Crane Comm, docking now.

Right, let's move. We'll land and attack

the base. I like it. Yeah.

Hercules, read it to me.

The old one too.

Me. One at your foot. I see him.

Hercules, to your left.

haven't given up yet. Take this.

Let's show him what's up our sleep, boys.

Fire.

What is that

monster?What is happening?Orion, tell

me what has happened. Answer me, you

fool. Our base is being destroyed.

What?

What is this monster out there?It must

be a new weapon Starfleet has developed.

You fool. We can

never submit to this.

Retreat. We cannot fight here without a

base. But couldn't

we try to?I said retreat.

Yes, Commander, by your divine guidance.

Stand by to retreat. Starboard 90

degrees. Hyper speed full ahead.

Look, Doctor, the cruiser's retreating.

Yes, Diax has succeeded. Lamia.

Yes, Doctor Ben here.

Shiro, Hercules, Lee.

Congratulations.

PPA. We're saved. Thank goodness for

that. They certainly took their time

about it.

Our battle tactics were more than sound,

Master in the methane sea. But we thought

we were dealing with only one battle

cruiser. It was a totally unknown

factor. That three separate fighters

should be able to join up into this

terrible monster. If the master's

intelligence system had warned me of the

possibility of such an event, then

you dare to turn for me.

Are

you seriously implying that your

disastrous failures are the fault of my

intelligence staff?I beg mercy, Imperial

Master. Give me but one more chance to

prove my worth. I am convinced the cambia

on the X b*mber is F01.

I will revise my tactics. F01 will be

yours. I promise you. You know what your

new plan will be?Yes,

Imperial Master. It is deeply ingrained

in my mind forever. Can I trust you,

Makara?Upon my honor,

Imperial Master, I assure you I will not

fail. You must not. Very well.

I will allow you one more attempt. But

remember, we must find F01 within



total dominance of their Galaxy will be

lost for another Millennium. Never forget

that. Never

do not favour us.

Commander Makara has been spared to

continue her struggle against Starfleet

in the search for F01, but this

time she's battling for her own life.

Can anyone or anything now stand in the

way of her desperate determination to

dominate the Earth?This time

she must not fail.

X-b*mber touches down on the sea of

trees, but the Alliance are not far

behind, their strategy directed by a

ruthless new officer who is sworn to

destroy Dr. Ben and his crew. Is there

any way they can escape the trap?Don't
