[i]The laser turrets that lined the Dreadnought's sides and spine fired off shot after shot, obliterating another ship every second. The Dreadnought would eventually start to take damage, though only after minutes of combat. An explosion ripped through the ship, cutting a gash in its hull. [/i] "Osprey, this thing isn't gonna hold up much longer. I'm gonna punch it and take out as many ships as I can to clear a path, alright? Lieutenant, divert power to forward shields, engines and turrets. I'll see you on the other side, O." [i]The Dreadnought's engines flared white as the ship flung itself towards the enemy ships. Most of the shots simply bounced off of the ship's shields while the crew of the Dreadnought had decided to man the extra turrets. The turrets did not stop firing for a solid three minutes until Ospret heard Garin's voice explode into his ear.[/i] "We're being boarded, O. We can handle it, I know we can, or we would activated the self-destruct protocol already. *gunshots* *sound of metal on leather* *screams of pain* *more gunshots* *sound of man choking on blood* "Like I said, we'll handle it. Go."

"We'll handle it quick, they're boarding the mothership, too!" Osprey's shipped landed in the mothership, he got out, running inside and handling it himself for as long as he could.

[i]Garin continued to fight alongside his crew for a good 20 minutes until each and every one of the boarders was dead. As they bodies were rounded up, the evidence was clear that they would win against the enemy. For every Peregrine body there was a third of a crew members' body, and there had been over a hundred boarders. They had won, but at what cost...[/i] "Osprey, can you hear me? We've beaten back the boarders and are making our way towards you."

"Got it, we're having trouble over here, so please hurry." He could hear gunfire and explosions in the background.

Garin turned to his lieutenants. "Ready a dropship. I want at least 20 people with me. Any volunteers?" Everyone in the command room stood. "As I would expect. Now let's move." *insert weapon-show-off montage* A few minutes later, they were fighting alongside Osprey and the others.

[spoiler]Im gonna make this a bit harder since you're using cannon fodder, so in the future, I'll provide them. [/spoiler] Inside, dozens of enemies were occupying choke areas such as halls and doorways while others proceeded to the control room. Osprey fired purple blasts out of his staff at them from behind cover.

"Lieutenant! Push to the left hallway! We need to get out of this hangar!" Garin's first lieutenant, along with five others, rise from cover and made a mad dash to the hallway, mowing down the enemy soldiers blocking their path. Garin rose with them, but did not move. Instead, he had unsheathed his swords and was now blocking most of the shots that were coming towards them. "Osprey, can you project a shield with that staff of yours?"
