...again the M-Tron and federation fleets have had a violent clash over space-territory the both laid claim to, the M-tron had built a small base on two astroid-islet close to the Red-eyed nebula, two enormous fleets where sent, one from the M-tron and one from the federation, M-tron to protect and the Federation to tear down the (according to the federations point-of-view) unlawful settlement...

...when the two fleets clashed 100% of the M-tron fleet was disabledand 99,9% of the federation as well as the astroid-atolls...

The federation was almost about to loose the battle but because of Irena and Miss Gray taking control of the flagship bridge when their commanders had died the HQ Flagship survived, but with heavy damages...

Techs and repair-robots dash around to piece together as much machinery as they can so the can re-start the ship and head for home at the capital planet...

Among the derby and workforce two pilots have a conversation:

- Hey Brinkmann we won, we survived, ok we didn´t get to claim the asteroids but we beat the nasty enemy, Hey Brinkmann since you are a veteran and all that, have you ever been this close to death...

- Yeah actually many times Vera, Many times!

- So, Brinkmann what do you think of our victory, Do you think will will get medals?

- Oh Vera, you think this is a victory... we lost about 900 starships and probably 50.000 fighters and a crew of about half a million, the turf we wanted is totally destroyed and we only survived because of our two ace pilots, they will get the medals, again to add to their growing hoard of rewards, still the medals are not worth anything anyway, the federation debased them of any valuable metal 50 years ago...

- But Hey Brinkmann, didn´t we win? we destroyed their entire sectors fleet... I mean we bashed them so bad that they will not dear to fight us over territory for a longtime now???

- Well dear Vera according to me, we all lost, only making our other enemies stronger, like the Black-tron and the Cadette-faction... if you ask me it was only a pointless destruction of lives, material and spaceships for two small islets no one cares about...

- Hey Brinkmann, so if I may ask why did you join the fleet? I mean since you don´t like the fighting?

- young lad, I mean lass, I was born in the lower levels of the capital, for meI only had three alternatives: 1. Perish, 2. Join a gang or 3. join the armed forces of the federation... I chose the Third alternative since I have lightning reflexes... this is a job nothing more, I can pay my bills and don´t question my commanders, if I am lucky I Might be a fleet commander at 220 years with will earn me a fair wage and respect... I am a slow grinder and I know what I want...

- But Sir, why do you just follow, why don´t you defect, turn of the responder and drift away in space and become a trader in the alien regions, or become a sell-sword or mercenary pilot or pirate?

- young lass, I have recorded this conversation, I am obliged to hand this over to the MI9 you will probably be expelled from the fleet and do many years in the slammer, nothing personal, I like you kid, but I need to stay alive and advance in the ranks, what you just did was a crime against our system, suggesting unlawful actions while in service...

To white exo-suits came and collected the young pilot and Brinkmann carried on with his choirs and duties!!!
