"Five minutes to impact."
The boarding craft sailed through the darkness of the void unseen. The light of her engines was dulled by the myriad of colors that had formed in the chaotic nebulae surrounding the target, and her hull blended in well with the blackened backdrop. She had sacrificed conventional shields for the sake of stealth, her generators hiding the presence of those aboard rather than providing them with traditional protection. A single turbolaser volley would rip her apart at the seams, but then that was the intention.
She was small and fast, and a turbolaser wasn't going to amount to much if she went unseen.
Situated just outside the cockpit, Alexander Ontonas ran a third check of his war-gear. His shacklebolt rifle was picked apart, cleansed, and put back together again. His shields were overloaded and forced to recharge seven times to check for failures in the system. The radial movement sensors were calibrated to such a degree that even the slightest flexing of a muscle showed up as a little blip in the corner of his visor. The warrior was ready.
"Two minutes to impact."
"Thank you Stanley," the soldier reached up to run a hand over his shaven head and peered out at his comrades. His team was made up of initiates and highly decorated operators alike; he had faith in them. "We'll need to gain access to their database as soon as we're aboard," he reminded them. "Then we move on the core. Watch out for one another, and no heroics. You'll be able to do more for us retreating than you will dead."
"One minute to impact. Interlinking with your armor systems now. Please don't break me," the AI's voice rumbled with electronic laughter.
