Kicks the fighter around as he dusts off the deck. When he faces the exit he gentally eases the thrusters into a low gear moving the craft out slowly. "Computer Retract landing gear" The landing gear retracts and the craft starts to gain speed.

"Command Wraith 4 is clear and under own power, Beacon is set to frequency 126.86"
"Understood"

Throughs the impulse engines into full and rockets away from the ship. "Computer prepare for a micro-jump warp 1 head on course 245 mach 20. Engage" The stars elongate and the ship rockets into warp speed. Then a few seconds later the ship reverts to normal speed. At full speed he pulls the joystick up towards his breat bone. Pulling the fighter into a sharp assent. using some Etheric Rudder he spins the ship as it rises so when he completes the reverse turn he is the same way up as he started. "Computer Calculate reverse course take us home now" The ship reverts into warp and then the New Orleans comes back into view.

"New Orlean Command this is wraith 4 request permission to land"
"Confirmed Wraith 4 set controls to automatic guildance and we will bring you in"
"Thank you command"

"Thank you Sir". Smiles "I think I will take a wraith out for a flight into the asteroids test out here manouverabilty."

Goes and puts on his black flight suit. Then climbs into a avilible fighter and a tech hands him his life support unit and helmet. Putting them on he runs the pre-flight cheack lists and sets up the comunications.
New Orleans, and the starbase in Communication points 1 and 2 respectivly.

"Wraith 4 to Flight Control. Request clearence for dust off. All systems read green and engines running at 100%."

OFF: Im used to star wars style names were we use squadron name and pilot number but i think i will be Hawk (From Wing Commander Caus thats the best)

Pulls out maximum thrust into the distance and engages in a micro warp jump into the next patrol area and the other figthers from up around him. "Engaging sweep now." The computer starts up the scanning seqence and reports no findings.

Jumps into Alpha 1, "This is alpha one Confirm Callsign Hawk" *Computer* "Callsign confirmed" Begins the power up seqeunces =/\=Alpha Sqaudron Status =/\=

=/\= We are to make a standard patrol of the system. You are to fly on my wing 2 and 3 you are to fly approx. 100,000 kilometers away from us but in perfect paralell. Should anything happen 3 you will micro jump in and give us fire support ok. 3 there will be no chat from you unless your callsign is used ok. understood =/\=

*Computer* "Systems ready"

Throughs the throttle forwards and engages the engines. Leaves the ship and forms up near it.

=/\= Confirmed Falcon =/\=

Spining back on the Warbird at maximum torpedo range. I try to get a target lock "Computer Fire all torpedoes. Aim them all at this lock, on my mark "Confirmed". The lock beep becomes a tone indicate my lock. "Mark" Torpedoes fire out one after another 6 in total. against the warbird each hitting within half a second of each other overloading the shields bringing the shields down. "Computer target there sheild generator" a red square on my HUD encompasses the location of the shield generator. I switch over to pulse phasers and and shower the target with fire and explosions. =/\= I have got you a open target here New Orleans If you have a moment to finish it off =/\=

OFF:Understood

=/\= Wraiths we have clearance to attack the Romulan ships =/\=

Pulls the fighter around in a tight loop. As i level out from the loop the computer sirens scream out. "Torpedo Lock" With out thinking I put the fighter into a Corkscrew and dive. Three seconds into the dive i pull up and level off heading towards the romulan Warbird that had a target lock on me. "Computer bring up weapon targets on the Warbird. Place them on the heads up display" Around the Warbird Green squares tighten into red boxes as the targeters find the weapon ports. I target the first two Phaser banks with my micro-Torpedoes. I squeeze the trigure and the streak away about a second apart.

Pulling up and over the top of the ship i spin my fighter and then pass over the war bird. Comming over the other side. Phaser banks start to try and track me. I spin down and pull through the engine wash. A Phaser blast passes close to my fighter partialy deflecting off my shields. "Shields down to 56%. Do you wish to divert power from weapons to Charge your shields?" "No" I think to myself, "That was to close". =/\=Wraith 3 to Wraith 1. I made a run against one of the warbirds i think they have been modified to track fighters. I almost got fried by one of the Phaser banks. Just a heads up there=/\=

Pulling up into a invert i flip the fighter over and track my phaser cannons over the hull of one of the warbirds. then i dive across the hull of the ship before targeting the next ship. Hitting the bridge and causing a hull breach. Air flows from the cracks and then stops.

=/\= Nice to see ya Falcon =/\=

=/\= Nice to see you flying again Falcon =/\=

Pulls a Inverted S manuover and banks hard to line up his guns againist the dissabled warbird. "Targrets Computer" Red boxes apear on the hull of the ship via the HUD and i target and fire on as many phaser banks and torpedo bays as i can with that pass. Less and less fire coming from the warbird.

OFF: I posted last but nobody else posted so i didnyt post again. (dont like to double post)

OFF: I thought we had only 6 wraiths

"Would any of you pilots like to have a wing man?"

"Understood Sir. I will provide a alussive target around the New Orleans. Do we know if we are taking on fighter class vessels as well as Capital Ships"

Preps the remaining Computer Sub-systems they come online without fault. Computer say:"The Fighter is operating at 100% Capacity".

Climbs into wraith 3 and begins all pre-power up sequnces before engaging the main power core then the back up core. "All systems Comming online Sir My ship is preped and ready to go" "Computer Set comms up Beta 1, Beta 2 and New Orleans in Slots 1 2 and 3 repectivly" The Canopy comes down over the fighter and life support system come online. "Now i get to see how well these things fly.... or i dont see anymore" he says to himself.

Heads towards a Warbird sitting at the back of the line. Pulls around to open fire with 2 standard torpedoes and lines up the ship with pulse phasers as well.

LIghts flash red seirens scream in my ear as two more warbirds decloak either side and sligtly infront of the warbird i was tracking the imediatly open fire trying to track my fighter. I pull every manuvuer i know to stay alive but some of the shots are getting closer.

=/\= Falcon this is Hawk. I need some help here. I think i may have bitten off more than i can chew =/\=
