monitor the frontier space than it would have definitely had major offices on
the frontier planets.

Chapter 13: Fight
Former Commodore Antrar Wyft was examining
the interior of Starship Conquistador and was impressed by what he had seen so
far. It was the best constructed ship in the Starfire Fleets that he had the
opportunity to examine. And he knew something about starship design and build
up because besides having been a Starship Commodore, he was also a structural
engineer who had participated in the construction of a multitude of spaceships.
It had been four days since he had come
on board and Com. Raptor had been quick to get his ID and mission verified. But
he had nothing to do till the battle drills began and thus spent his days
strolling the vast interior of the starship and watching the crew perform their
task. Their discipline and efficiency weren't up to the standards of his crew
however his soldiers had been through the biggest space battle in the lifetime
of the current generation and hardened through it. He couldn’t expect other
starship crews to operate near the same level.
He started walking to the plasma
weapons chamber. He had eschewed the hovercrafts because he actually needed to
pass the time. Plasma Weapons Drill was scheduled three days down the road and
Antrar hoped he could participate in other weapons and tactics drills as well.
After all he had the experience that this ship’s crew would find useful.
He came upon the corridor leading to
the Plasma Weapons chamber and saw a large, two sided metallic door that
prevented access to unauthorized personnel. Every day for the last three days
he had stopped by this place before moving on to one of the restaurants further
down the corridor.
He turned around and started walking
back when he saw an officer coming down from the other side who smiled at him
and tipped the front visor of his hat as he passed him by. Antrar informally
saluted him and kept walking and then suddenly stopped. A thought had occurred
to him. He turned around on his heels just in time to watch the officer slide
his ID card at the card reader outside the plasma chamber and the large
metallic doors slowly opened inward.
“Officer,” Antrar said and the man
turned around a bit surprised, “You can’t go in there.”
“Excuse me,” the officer said, “you are
who?”
“You are wearing the uniform and
insignia of an infantry officer,” Antrar said, “Starship capital weapons are
off-limits to those who are not Starship officers or technicians.”
“Mind your own business. What would a
civilian guest know of army regulations,” the officer said and turned back
towards the door.
“Furthermore,” Antrar said quickly
walking towards him, “Only plasma section staff can go in the plasma weapons
chamber.”
“Go to hell,” the officer said.
Antrar reached near him and placed his
hand on the man’s shoulder and said, “Show me your ID card or better yet let’s
get the ship’s plasma officer here.”
“Yeah right,” the man turned around
with a massive swing of his right hand but Antrar was ready and quickly stepped
back. The metallic doors closed behind as their timer for remaining open ran
out.
The officer pulled out his laser pistol
from his belt and raised it towards Antrar who kicked his hand and the pistol
went up in the air in an arc. The officer reached for it with his right hand
but Antrar stepped forward and punched him in the face. The man fell down and
this time Antrar went for the pistol but the man swept his legs and Antrar
landed on the ground on his lower back.
The officer reached forward and quickly
grabbed Antrar’s right leg and wrapped both of
