"Federation Flag-ship, we are approaching rebel territory. Back-up may be needed if situation goes dark. Be advised, this is not what you want to see."
"Copy that, Starlight. Whatever's out there, we need to know. We appreciate you accepting the lead of this mission."
Starlight, Commander of many differerent ships including most of the Federation Heavy cruisers trotted away from the Communications room, also known as the Sensor room. This was going to be one of his hardest missions. Sure there was going deep into hell within a nebula to compete against but going incognito into Rebel territory is like trying to hide among a pack of wolves. You have to earn their trust.
"Rainbow Strike, What's our distance from rebel territory?" Starlight said entering the cockpit of the Kestrel Type B. Designed with rebel camouflage and a laser afficionado, This ship was meant to deal heavy damage in multiple areas of ships.
"Sir, we're 5 Kilometres in from rebel borders, i suggest that you prep the crew for conversation" What Rainbow Strike meant is prep the crew to look and talk like rebels. Not to make any sign of federation in them. To be incognito. Spies in space.
"Good, that will give us enough time." StarLight made his way over to the intercom where he addressed the situation with his crew. "Crew, we're coming in hot on the border. Turn off all drones and weapons for now. Don't look suspicious."
"Should we hail them sir?" asked Strobe Light from the communications room.
"It's better off we wait for them to hail us. So they have the time to question us."
The Kestrel came into ranged within rebel borders where they were Hailed by rebel patrol.
"Stop right there, we need to perform some scans before you can enter. In the meantime, please state your name."
Starlight cleared his throat ready to respond in the best way that he could.
"This is Starlight of the Kestrel, We have managed to steal this ship off the Federation. I assure you we are of no harm"
The scans finished and the Kestrel was allowed access into Federation territory. A vast territory where the rebels main operation are planned and ships were built. This was the Rebel Stronghold.
"Good to see another one of us. I'm sorry but we have to perform scans on all the ships incase anything happened like an intruder stowed in a ship or something. It looks like you really like lasers."
"Those were there when we stole the ship. Seems the Federation Like lasers eh?"
The ship in it's crew passed through rebel borders into the stronghold which was like one giant box with a hive of angry wasps inside. The crew gazed around at the sight of many rebel ships in the vicinity. All decked out in the stronghold was the largest ship out of all of them. This was the Rebel Flagship. The ship that would lead the rebels and be the end of the rebels. The mobile center for the rebels. A ship that could rip all rebel ships into pieces.
"Contact base now. They've got to see this."
"Contacting base now, they will see video feed on this." replied strobe light.
"They have to. Otherwise this mission is a failure."
Starlight just wanted to plant a bomb in the reactor of the flagship and blow it to pieces. Just to fly there and blow it up. That would hinder the scurvy rebels alot.
"Kestrel, this is Base control. We are getting your feed, continue broadcasting."
damn hell we'll keep broadcasting Starlight thought. These scurvy scumbags don't know that we have seen their secret weapon.
Just then the Kestrel got hailed by a security ship incoming on their position.
"We got transmission coming in, It's from a rebel security ship." said Strobe light manning communications.
"Cut the broadcast to base. The rebels can't hear of the broadcast." replied StarLight with an intense voice. Strobe light cut the broadcast with a message saying that they were being hailed by security.
"Accept the transmission." Strobe light accepted the transmission incoming from the ship.
"I see your new here. I'm Shadow Wisp of security. WE intercepted a broadcast. The broadcast seemed to have come from here. Do you want to explain yourselfs? We're coming on board now."
Shadow Wisp and his Security team Teleported on board the Kestrel leaving their pilot in their ship. Shadow Wisp approached Starlight and Spoke clearly.
"Are you going to explain this transmission?" Shadow Wisp brought up a pad showing the feed that was being broadcasted by the Kestrel.
"That could be anyone. It might not be us."
Shadow Wisp pointed to the clear logo in the top right displaying the ships serial number. 0059.
"So this isn't this ship's Serial number huh?"
Starlight tried to stay calm as Shadow Wisp spoke deep and close to Starlight.
"Here's what's going to happen. You're going to surrender, and we're going to murder all of you. Than we're going to dump your bodies back at your friends with a message that you're never going to mess with us ever again. You got that?"
Starlight stood his ground as a pair of security team came up to him with large Bowie knives.
"Now i understand this may be brutal. But it seems that you deserve it. Trying to sneak into our territory. Big mistake. And broadcasting our secrets? How dumb are you?" Shadow Wisp said sharpening his knife on one of the ships walls.
Starlight saw one of his crew members at the Drone control and signaled to turn on the anti-personel drones.
