I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship, so I Became a Space Mercenary
# 228 The usual pattern
The black rotor returns to normal space after leaving the hyperspace in a very dark color.When did the stars start to feel at ease in the scenery of the sparkling star ocean?I seem to be adapting well to the world as well.
All right, let's go.
"Hanger hatch open, anytime."
Let's go!
Our Krishna is being ejected from the Black Lotus hanger into space while being accelerated by a charged electromagnetic catapult.There is no substitute for the sense of liberation at this moment of jumping into the ocean of stars and the sense of all-round mastery of Krishna.
"The goal is to have a Reefil Prime colony on time for the meeting."
"Roger, we're heading for the Reefil Prime colony."
"Apply for synchronization of ultra-light speed drives"
Approve synchronization. Ultra Light Speed Drive, Charging Started "
"The radar range is maximum.If you find anything suspicious, report it immediately. "
Eisa
Mimi and May respond at the same time.Elma seems to be calming down and checking around the subsystem.I have nothing to do with the status quo.The crew is responsible for navigation, communications, and master of the main subsystem.My turn is to take command in the event of actual trouble and manipulate the ship to deal with the trouble.
"Countdown. Five, four, three, two, one... hyperdrive activated."
Zudong! and a roar sounds, and Black Lotus and Krishna leave the starlight behind and rush into the void.
"I hope nothing happens."
"That's right... but..."
"Our bad luck is rich.I think it's unusual for us to get into trouble, really. "
"Ahahah... ah"
Looks like Mimi leaked a bitter smile and noticed something.Operate the console and share the screen Mimi is looking at.Apparently, I caught the reaction of other ships to the subspace radar used during the hypervelocity drive... oh, no.
"I see you've got a crime tag..."
"This is the ship that you've been dealing with in the system or something, right?
I'm sure it will be.
While listening to Mimi and Elma's conversation, I quickly manipulate the console to de-synchronize the ultra-light drive with Black Lotus and manipulate the joystick to modify the route to the crime-tagged ship.
Black Lotus will catch up with you later.
I understand.Good luck. "
The rudder is much harder to steer while driving at super light speed, but Krishna is still much smaller than Black Lotus, a small combat ship.Krishna alone would be overwhelmingly more advantageous in tracking the ship during hypervelocity drives.
"The opponent is slow.A medium-sized ship, maybe a large one. "
"Put it behind you.Interdictor standby "
"I've never interacted with another ship."
Interdict is the act of forcibly stopping other ships in a hypervelocity drive.I don't know how it works, but by continuing to capture the ass of the target ship using a jamming device that uses gravity control technology called the Interdictor, the Interdictor is established.
In other words, this is like a dogfight that takes place at super light speeds.
"Haha, where are you going?
Naturally, the interdicted side tries to escape without being interdicted.
I managed to escape from this target by cutting the rudder up, down, left and right, and trying to escape at an accelerated rate, but naturally I'm not the one who missed it.Incidentally, if the deceleration occurs, the formation of the interdict will be accelerated at once, so if it is done in a circumventional manner, the lifespan will be shortened.
This is going to work.
"There's no need to ask questions beyond the crime tag.We'll be in battle soon. "
"Eisa."
Mimi and Elma replied and soon the intercept was established, and Krishna and the criminal ship were pulled back into normal space with the roar.At this time, the side where the interdict was placed will be a bit difficult.
Oh, it's miserable.
I started the weapon system as I saw a large ship like a Starfleet performing intense multi-axis rotation.
Subject ships forced by Interdict to interrupt hypervelocity flight become feathers that perform intense multi-axis rotational motions at the moment of being pulled back into normal space.The kinetic energy obtained during the interruption of hypervelocity navigation seems to be acting, but I don't know the detailed theory.
Of course, in the meantime, the enemy will shoot you all you can, so it's full of gaps.So, if you don't want to run away or you don't want to run away, you'd rather slow yourself down and have less room for interdicts.
While I've been able to interdict since I came to this world, I've always slowed down and embraced the interdict.That is the reason.
We're gonna shoot through the shields in the meantime.
That's good.
There is no mercy on criminally tagged ships.I'm still shooting four heavy lasers into a large Starfleet that's in admirable multi-axis rotation motion.Regardless of the cockpit that is protected by the inertia control system, the other compartments will be stuck or messed up.
"Enemy Shield Down"
Next up, thrusters.
When the shield is removed, crush the leg first.That way, the large ships won't be able to move properly.Then crush the defensive turret from the blind spot and you'll be completely naked.
"Stop, stop!There's a hostage here!?
"What's the matter?No matter how many hostages die, the prize money you have won't be reduced. "
In the first place, I don't really know if there are any hostages, and there's no way I can definitely help in this situation.
A good man full of virtue, an innocent child, or an imperial nobleman with a throne, would be treated as if he had died on a Starship.
In fact, even if the innocent lives on board the Starfleet were scattered with the destruction of the Starfleet, the shooter is not guilty under space law.Otherwise, it will be impossible to destroy space bandits using human shields.
"Only Sweetie's rookie can relax with such a threatening complaint."
I don't care either way.
……
Elma seems to be as cut as I am, but Mimi seems to be breathing without a word.I can't see Mimi's face because she's in battle, but maybe she's bluishing her face.Well, it's going to take a while to get used to all this.... If you think about it carefully, I can easily ignore the hostages, right?Maybe I'm blunt about someone else's death.
"I crushed my feet and hands, but what do we do?
Elma spoke as she thought and worked to crush all thrusters, turrets, missile launchers, and other weapons.Well, it's not a bad thing to think about.Thanks to this, we are able to adapt to the world and mercenary life, so let's not think deeply.
"Well... if the armies in the system with the criminal tag and the Imperial Space Force are on their way, I'll let you take control..."
As I said, a roar sounded, and a big black shadow appeared in the quadrant.The familiar shadow of the ship definitely belongs to Black Lotus.
"If Black Lotus comes first, will we take it down?Sometimes I have to fight white. My arms are rusty. "
"It's dangerous.
"If they're Space Bandits, they won't be late.There are also fighter bots.And I'll be training Mimi in White Army operations. "
Mimi looked at me and saw the color of tension on her face.Yeah, I've done the simulation many times before, but I still can't really train without the opportunity to practice.Let's get you inspired here.
Oh, no, I don't know.
Krishna landed on the Starfleet and I broke in, and from Black Lotus, I landed on a drop pod and the fighter bots broke in, but later I realized that I still had the power armor loaded on Black Lotus.
So this time, I will fight white soldiers alive.Well, even though I'm still alive, I'm going to take a portable shield generator and equip it with a combat-suit with a pressure-resistant function that can be thrown into space for a short period of time - about three hours.
Are you sure you're okay?I don't think I have to.
"Well, you'll be fine.You can shrink somewhere in the corner if you want, and let the bots take control. "
Respond to Mimi who is worried while checking the equipment.This time I'm going to take a pair of swords, large and small, and a laser gun that I love.Three Shock Grenades and two Plasma Grenades in the spare Energy Pack.And a chameleon stealth cloak.
I was worried if I could bring a laser rifle, but in white warfare with the enemy on board, the long stuff can be detrimental in terms of routing.Basically, the ship is narrow.Laser guns are more convenient.
Boarding complete. Bleaching "
The drop pod has also been docked.You can come in anytime.
"Let the fighter bots in first.I'll take over the cockpit while I'm flashy. "
"Eisa, good luck, Master."
While we're talking, complete the bleaching - punching through the hatches and armor of the hostile ships that are docked to create an intrusion.
Bleaching complete. Be careful. "
"Yes. I'm going in."
Open the Krishna side hatch and open the bleached Starfleet's external hatch to enter the Starfleet interior.It appears that this is an external hatch in the hold.There is no enthusiastic welcome that you are being pursued to deal with the bots that are raging ahead.
This is Snake, we have successfully infiltrated the Starfleet.
Isn't that a mouse?
"This is a mouse..."
In this world, it seems that rats infiltrate rather than snakes.
"This looks like a warehouse.Can't you get a map of the ship?
Er... it looks like there's a console on the left wall.Please connect Hiro-sama's communication terminal there. "
Copy that.
Follow Mimi's lead to locate the console and connect the cord from the small communication terminal.Mimi will crack the Starfleet information through this small information device.
Um... I've got the information.I will project information on Hiro-sama's helmet. "
Immediately, a 3D map of the ship was projected on the HUD of the airtight combat helmet I was wearing.It's just a big ship. It's pretty big.
"Find and view directions to the cockpit.Initiate suppression "
Ah, Either.
"Mimi, calm down. Breathe three deep breaths, concentrate."
I heard Mimi breathing three deep breaths through the communication and headed to the exit of the warehouse.I wonder what they're loading, but first we need to get out of the warehouse and take control of the Space Bandits.
Let's get out of the hold.
Yes, I'll take care of it.
"Hiro, be careful."
Pull the laser gun out of the holster and remove the safety while listening to both of you.
