Deck 22, Section 5
Frieza, Gohan, and the triplets were asked to climb into a series of small, coffin-sized launch capules for the drop. As soon as they did so, the capsules were loaded into Dreamwalker's centerline torpedo tube...
The Bridge
The Captain activated his Communicator. "Feilder, you're ready?"
Engineering
The young OverSec "blinker" (slang for someone who can teleport) floated in a sensory-deprivation tank, sending an affirmative flash of thought to Miles' query.
Starbord Hangar Deck
"Hope ya ate yer Wheaties this morning, kid..." Shade quipped telepathically.
The S-D tank, designed to help to user focus his powers more effectively, was attached to Dreamwalker's "Psionic Stardrive", a device which would amplify Fielder's powers to the point that he could carry the battleship, its escorting ships, and everyone on board the remaining 30 parsecs to the Republic.
Feilder concentrated, the low hum in his mind building to a roar as the amplifiers kicked in...
And less that a second later, the AD fleet appeared within attack range of the planet. Instantly, the ship's Milti-Silos went to work. First, the Actuality Bomb was fired, along with a full spread of RPF devices which blacked out most of the city (Shade had specifically schedued the attack to take place a little after nightfall).
As the confused citicen looked up, they then saw a most unusual sight--dozens of little white streaks, like shooting stars but...different. These were the dozens of superhard, rocket-assisted titanium projectiles for the HVKK missles launche dby the Dreamwalker and her escorts, Many watched in awe as they streaked down, glowing white-hot from theeir rapid reentry...
Until the first one struck, utterly destrouing the city's main power station. Then all hell broke loose...
The Bridge
"Sir! Psi-Bomb detonation confirmed! Guild HQ's gone completely silent!"
"Launch Diversionary Team! Centerline Tube, Fire One through Five!!"
The Tube fired five times, sending Frieza, gohan, and Co. streaking towards Starfire Industries.
"Launch all ships!"
Naturally, shade insisted on being first out of the chute, so he and the other six senior OverSec officers launched first in their YF-21s, switching on thir Active Stealth syystems to hide them fom any sensors that may have surviived the RFP attack. Then the five Dropships--including Alpha -02, which the troubleshooters were aboard--followed, protected by OverSec's fisrt Mobils Assault Squadron. 2d Mobile Assault continued on into the athmosphere to bomb other targets, while 3rd took formation around Dreamwalker and prepared to strike Zeal's orbital defenses.
Aboard A-02, Lucca tok one last look to make sure everyone was on board, then swallowed a pair of Dramimiine. She knew all to well why these things were called Dropships, and she wasn't looking forward to the ride.
Reaching into her pack, she fished out Victor's Scanner, tok a hard look at it, as if it could gove her a answer. And maybe it did...because a second later, a determined grimace settled on her face as she strapped the little device on, adjusting it so that it would fit her slimmer wrist. Then she leaned back, closed her eyes, and prepared for reentry.
