Bring the Rain

Jarik Utoni rubbed the new patch he now wore on his long black trenchcoat, Valhalla Industries. The CEO one, Seras Wolfebane, had been trying to get him to join for almost 2 months before he finally accepted. While working for the Cut-throat Caldari wasn't exactly a bad thing it made him feel slightly dirty.

His agent pinged him, "Kill some Minmatar terrorists.." was all he read before he rejected the mission and ignored his agent's angry response. You would think that after a month of working for the Caldari Navy that this agent would remember he disliked attacking Minmatar affiliated ships. While not in the best graces with his brothers in the Minmatar Republic he didn't want to make things much worse then they already were.
Another ping, he checked the message, it was Kil, a member of his corporation. Kil was requesting long range DPS support against some Angel pirates. Jarik quipped the affirmative to Kil's ship and sent another message to the dock manager and his crew chief. Ready the "Drache".
The Drache Was a Typhoon class battleship owned and operated by Jarik, his crew was still mostly minmatar but he had grudgingly accepted other races into the fold when minmatar bodies were scarce. Fit for long range combat she sported 5 cruise missile launchers and 3 heavy Artillery batteries deadly from 65-160 km she was a force to be reckoned with. He got the ping back from the crew chief, all were present and accounted for, and according to the Docking manager the ship was ready and loaded as he requested.
He gave the order to board the ship and he headed towards the center of the ship, and his pod. a few seconds later he was latched into the pod neural interfaces engaged biomed gel filled the pod he blinked as it covered his eyes and with a thought sent a message to Kil; *Drache is locked and loaded for long range ETA: 3 min* he received the reply as he powered up the ship; *Aye-Aye, Bring the Rain*
The sensation of controlling a ship as if it was your own body is unmistakably the greatest feeling he could remember. With a thought he could feel the space around him, with a flick of his finger he could launch his missiles or activate a sensor booster. He piloted his camera drone to face his ship, and activated his sensor and tracking boosters. after getting the all clear he activated warp to his Corp mate and fell into the comfortable routine of piloting his battleship. as soon as he warped in he realised Kil's problem, the target in question was a battleship at about 100km above his ship. with a few quick movements he had the ship locked and with a diabolical smile began firing on the unlucky target. 1400mm rounds pounded into the ships shield, Cruise missiles reached out and in a single volley he had the battleship's shields gone. with another volley he crumpled the armor on one side, an engine failed followed by one of the target's howitzers. Another warning from Kil; *Jarik, I've lost his lock, i think he's going to attack you!* *I'm going to be fine Kil, you just concentrate on those frigates.* He knew that he would win this battle, his DPS was superior even if his tank wasn't. The enemy was deep in armor when his first Volley slammed into the Drache's Shields. Heavy artillery and cruise missiles flew from the Angel Vessel like rain, the Drache responded in kind. When the Angel battleship was at 65km it started taking hull damage, but it kept coming directly into the withering fire spewing from the mouth of Drache. An engine detached from it's frame and flew off into space followed by other pieces of the hull. The Drache lost it's lock as the remains of the enemy ship imploded under the force of a final volley from his howitzers. Jarik smiled, and pinged *enemy destroyed* to Kil as his own detailed damage reports began flowing in. Half shields and no bleed into armor, shield recharging slowly ETA on full charge was just under two minutes. Another ping from Kil; *Let's head back to Umo 4 CN, this rounds on me =) * Jarik's wallet flashed. Things were looking up
