Introducing Day Number 08, the Riptide - Patrol Craft

"I was there when the Redeemer fell. 6,000 men, and 80,000 tons of steel on course for Luna with a less than paltry escort. It was just my crew and Erlynns in two patrol craft, escorting a fleet carrier through challenged space. Command argued that a warship sporting over 80 fighters and bombers should not need a large escort, but that hardly mattered when the first Ion torpedo hit her hull.

With a crippled redeemer barely fending for itself against an emerging battlegroup, what chance did two tiny ships have? Through the static of a half malfunctioned comm array, we could only decipher two words from the flagship: ‘#//Warn_Comm-#//’ - the barely intelligible message was cut short, the silence elucidated by a bright flash. They had breached Redeemer’s fuel cells, and there was nothing we could do but keep running.

Had they just spared a few more ships, maybe we would have screened that missile. How could command expect two escorts to save redeemer, how could they have allowed this to happen. All we can do now is tell her story, the story of how we couldn't save our fleets pride, the story of how we had to run away...”
