First Officer of the GFD Independence:"Sir the enemy warships are gooing down and our fighters are mopping up the rest of the enmy fighters/bommbers."
Petrov:"Roger that..we need to hold on for just a little longer.
What is the ETA on our backup??"
Commander Asimov (First officer of the Independence):"ETA 47 minutes sir but I dont know if we will be able to hold on that much?"
As they preapared for the second wave they were in for a shock .
They were about to get a little more then they could chew.
With the 2 part defensive sistem organized by petrov they could of defended the sistem for a limited amount of time and with no other reinforcements to use Petrov was playing all on one card.
He counted on the fact that the NTVA would come in 3 or 4 waves . This was to prove one of his worst mistakes of his career largely due to the fact that the GTVF high command gave him "almost acurate" information about the enemy (as usual).
Petrov:"What is the status of our forces??"
Asimov:"Sir we lost 43 fighters and the Intrepid has suffered minor damage to its hull, also we have sustained 17% damage to our hull.
Sir...this was just the vanguard of an entire NTVA force hell it could be theyr biggest attack on us to date. We are at the node of 3 major sistems of the GTVF if they get past us they have the potential to do a lot of damage before we would be able to stop them. Hell al they have to do is destroy those 2 staions and they woudl deliver a serios blow to civilian and milatary personell morale....."
Petrov:"I know...I know....that is why they must not win here today...hell not ever...! Signal the stations commanders to prepare for evac of those stations..."
