Chapter 4
Evil Negotiations


        Ash had just entered the GTD Celafices for the up and coming mission. 

        "Here Admiral is your head quarters" Ash was being showed around the ship by one of the scientist who had designed this wonder.  "I will leave you now and sir, good luck." 

        So this was it Ash thought, his own head quarter's, his own ship and also his own crew. It was just too much to take in. It had been such a surprise. Suddenly there was a knock on the door. 

        "Come in."

        "Sir, I have the information about the mission here you go."

        Lieutenant Crush handed him the info and walked out. Ash started to read the info. 

        To Admiral Johnson, Ash suddenly stepped back. They had found out his second name. For some reason he had been embarrassed about his surname. Ash just forgot about it and got back to reading the mission briefing. 

        To Admiral Johnson:

        The mission its about the Shivan destroyer the SD Fury. The ship and its fighters have been interfering in all of our missions. It has been suggested that the Shivans know something about our plans. We want you to take out the fury. Don't worry about the fighters our wings will take them out. If you need fighter cover at any time just call upon Alpha or Delta wing. 

        Over and Out. 

        Ash gulped, this was the Celafices's first mission and he did not want to muck it up. 

        Ash ordered the pilots to make their way to the SD Fury. 

        "Celafices this is delta how can we be of assistance?" 

        "Delta and Alpha just take out any Shivan fighters who enter the area." 

        As Ash looked out of the big window in his flight deck he could see the Fury. It was about the size of the ship he was aboard. 

        "This is Admiral Johnson, fire all beam cannons at once." 

        As Ash looked out he saw the massive lasers impact with the Fury. To his surprise the Fury went down to 25% he had under estimated the Celafices's power. 

        "Have the Lasers re-charged yet?" 

        "Yes sir, shall we fire?" 

        "Yes at once." 

        When the laser struck the Shivan ship it was destroyed in a matter of seconds. 

        "Good work Celafices. Admiral Johnson, Good job Return to base." 

        Ash was just about to command the pilots to engage subspace when he got a message from the science lab aboard the Celafices. 

        "Sir this is urgent we are picking up massive fluctuations it's the Diablo." 

        Ash turned to the window just in time to see the massive ship emerge. It was one hell of a sight to see. He did not blink for the whole 2 minutes it took for the Juggernaut to enter the area. The ship amazingly ignored the Celafices and carried on to the next subspace node. 

        "Pilots this is your leader engage subspace drives. Were leaving this mad-house." 

*    *    * 

        Pilots the mysterious actions of the Diablo are troubling us. We do not know where it is heading but it sure wants to get there quick. The Celafices has been lucky if the Diablo would have taken time to attack the destroyer it would not have lasted long. Admiral Johnson has proved us well. He will be an excellent captain for the GTVA. 

        Ash stepped off the destroyer and he was alarmed by about 15 of his fellow pilot friends shouting and cheering. Bill lifted him up and another 10 men held him up in the air and chanted his name loudly. When they had put him down Tuvok, Lara and Bill came over to Ash and each gave him a hug. 

        "Man I am so proud of you. You deserve a beer come on." 

        So of they went celebrating but soon they would have nothing to celebrate because while all this was going on Admiral Bosch was getting up to something very very bad. What he was doing could crush the GTVA for years to come. He was making EVIL NEGOTIATIONS with the SHIVANS! 

*    *    * 

        "So Ash how does it feel to be haha haaaaaaaaa."  Bill was horribly drunk and he kept saying he wasn't. 

        Hey bill don't you think you should go back to your room and I will see you in the morning yes. 

        "No I think I'll stay here a bit longer you never know when they will need me to beat up a couple of Shivans." 

        "I would like to see you try now come on." 

        Ash picked up Bill and carried him to his room closed the door and walked back into the bar. 

        "Waiter if Bill comes in don't serve him." 

        "Okay whatever you say." 

        "Can Admiral Johnson join Admiral Procter in his room." 

        "Ah, Ash how do you do. We have found out what is going on with the Diablo and what is happening with the Shivans interfering in all of our missions I just wanted to inform you. Here you go. You are dismissed." 

        Admiral Procter gave Ash a sheet of paper and said to him to go to the Celafices.  When Ash got to his head quarters aboard the GTD Celafices he begun to read the information. 

        To Admiral Johnson 

        We have discovered the means and objectives of the SJD DIABLO. It is heading for Alpha Centari where the GTVA Aquitaine is situated. The Shivans have been trying to destroy this station for many decades now and if the juggernaut attacks the Aquitaine it will not last long at all. It must have other plans but we do not know what the hell they are.  Secondly the reason for the Shivans interference is that the NTF found out from Commander Snipes all of our plans before he was executed. The NTF have used this to negotiate with the SHIVANS. If all goes well for the NTF it will decimate the GTVA for decades to come.

        The NTF must be stopped somehow. 

        Your up and coming mission is extremely important. Some months ago we captured and NTF fighter and what we want to do is use this against the NTF. Lieutenant Piccolo has bravely volunteered to fly the Fighter and to attack any Shivan fighters that enter the area. This will make the Shivans think that the NTF have changed their mind and the Shivans will start attacking the NTF again and Admiral Bosch will once again have to explain him self to the Shivans that's if they give him a chance too. 

        Celafices your job is to take out Communications of the Diablo so it cannot ask the NTF what his happening or stop them calling in support. 

        Good luck. 

        Admiral Procter. 

        Ash stood in shock for a moment and then ordered his pilots too start up the engines and head for the Diablo. 

        "Aquitaine this is Admiral Johnson of the GTD Celafices may we have fighter cover while we take out the communications because that juggernaut is covered in turrets of every kind" 

        "Okay Celafices deploying Alpha, Delta, Kappa and Epsilon." 

        "Thank you Aquitaine over and out." 

        The Celafices had reached its destination and Ash ordered his pilots to fire all beam cannons into the heart of the Diablo's communication system.  After the beams had hit he asked the pilots what is hull integrity was. 

        "This is Admiral Johnson how much damage have we inflicted?" 

        "Sir, the Com is down to 49 and the Hull integrity of the whole ship 99%." 

        "Thank you." 

        Ash knew that one more swarm off beams would do the job so that's what he commanded and the Celafices's objective was complete. 

        "This is the Aquitaine good job we are know deploying the NTF Fighter into the area to do its job. And Alpha engage enemy fighters along with Lieutenant Piccolo." 

        "Yes Sir, engaging enemy at once." 

        Ash watched as the brave pilot started to assault Shivan fighters. He could see the confusion in the way the Shivans weren't sure what to do. Suddenly a beam cannon came out of the Diablo and blasted one of alpha wing the explosion damaged the NTF fighter. The beam cannons kept trying to destroy the brave pilot so this confirmed that the Shivan fighters were too kill the pilot. 

        "This is the Aquitaine. Lieutenant Piccolo get out of there you have completed you objective so engage subspace drives. Celafices great job return to base." 

        As the Celafices turned round a massive beam cannon came out of the Diablo and hit the destroyer. Ash fell back, tripped over a table and cut his head on the edge of a chair.  The Celafices was down to 25% it would not survive another one. Ash braced himself for the next beam cannon but it never came. They had entered subspace and were all safe. The negotiations had FINISHED. The GTVA was safe.
