Chương 260: Chapter 261: Oh my, what's this?

"Ok, that's it, I tried to give you the benefit of the doubt since you're so obviously deranged, but now I've had enough," Adam said in annoyance as he controlled Spector and made her fly up and away from the incoming missiles.

"Deploy countermeasures."

"Affirmative, deploying thermal countermeasures," Spector replied as the chat and viewers watching The MMM Show watched as the countermeasures deployed and the missiles started altering course as they changed target. Adam turned Spector towards Dolila's ship and began opening fire with his triple laser repeaters, which started to diminish her shields quickly.

"Triple laser repeaters? Wow, that's quite the firepower for a medium-class ship." Malgath observed.

"They have already drained her shields and are now impacting her hull. How powerful are those laser repeaters? At this rate, she won't last long." Kasumi commented in surprise.

"NO, NO, NO, NO, NO. THIS ISN'T HOW IT'S SUPPOSED TO GO." Dolila screamed angrily as she tried to fire her energy weapons.

"FIRE, FIRE, WHY WONT YOU FIRE?" It seems she hasn't noticed that her weapons were destroyed as soon as the laser repeaters breached her shields," Stacey noted. As Kasumi mentioned, Spector's triple repeaters quickly drained Dolila's ship's shields before they started to impact the hull and, coincidentally, hit her weapons first. Adam didn't let up his attack as his laser repeaters started to rapidly pierce Dolila's ship's hull and carve sections of it off until it could take no more and blew up.

[Noobkiller9000 (Earth): Well, compared to the streamer's previous space battles, that was kinda dull.] [SciFifanboy (Earth): It was Sc-Fi, but kinda like a filler episode in a TV series.] [CEOHopkins (Earth): I found that rather exciting. It's a shame that I came in at the end.] [Noobkiller9000 (Earth): Stick around, Miss Hopkins. Normally, the streamers' space battles are way more exciting.] [CEOHopkins (Earth): I plan to.] 💫💫💫"Well, that ended disappointingly quickly."

A man in a darkened room commented as he watched The MMM Show. He was as surprised as everyone else when a stream was suddenly broadcast on the show. He was aware of what Dolila had planned, and this was one of the reasons he wasn't expecting her to succeed; he was well aware that her ship was no match for the one Diva Lorelie was travelling on. While he had never seen the ship in action, he had seen the report about how it took care of several TISF ships at Terrana Five.

He was expecting to have to wait for a report from the people he had stationed near Oceana Five before deciding how to act; however, being able to watch it on The MMM Show made his job much easier.

"What do you think?" He asked towards a holographic screen showing a man sitting in the captain's chair of a ship.

"Shouldn't be a problem," The captain replied before continuing, "The ship's firepower is impressive for its size; however, if that's all it's packing, then there is nothing to worry about with my group.

"It's also confirmed to have seismic charges, and I have seen reports that say it may contain missiles and some kind of EMP weapons."

"Nothing too surprising, that's pretty standard for a medium-class ship."

"Good, remember if you can disable and recover the ship, there is a bonus in it for you. Apparently, the Black Noir Family have been tasked with recovering the ship so we can sell it to them for a profit. However, your primary goal is still to kill DIva Lorelie, even if that means destroying the ship."

"And the others on board the ship?"

"That's up to you, but decide carefully if you want to make an enemy out of the Dragon's and Brood.

"Understood." The captain said before ending the holocall. 💫💫💫 This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

"Well, I'm sorry to say that in terms of space combat, that was rather disappointing and not as fulfilling as I hoped it would be," Malgath commented.

"My granddaughter did warn you that it wouldn't last long. Dolila's ship was just too outclassed." Rowena stated.

"I'm not blaming Diva Lorelie's boyfriend, I just think that Dolila was stupid to attack a ship that outclassed her own." Malgath explained.

"It seems she didn't do her research," Kasumi remarked.

"It's not entirely surprising. Much of Diva Lorelie's boyfriend's ship remains a mystery; this is the first time it has been publicly seen in action. As far as I'm aware, it's normally restricted to his streams." Eri explained.

"My, my, I'm impressed you know so much about it," Malgath remarked.

"It's not surprising, I pay attention to anything related to Diva Lorelie," Eri answered.

"Hehe, A true fan," Kasumi said with a giggle.

"Are you not?" Eri asked curiously.

"Oh, I'm a fan, I'm just more of a Diva Rowena fan," Kasumi replied.

"How interesting, but if you don't mind, ladies, might we get back to the main reason we invited Rowena and Diva Lorelie to call in?" Malgath asked and was about to continue when Spector suddenly spoke up.

"ALERT, ALERT. I am detecting six ships dropping out of FTL on top of us." As she finished speaking, everyone witnessed six new ships suddenly appear as they dropped out of FTL before they all started opening fire on Spector.

"Oh my, what's this?" Malgath asked in surprise as everyone returned their attention to the stream. [Noobkiller9000 (Earth): Where the fuck did these six new ships come from? And why are they also attacking?] [Handsome3horns (Vinox 2): Could they have been friends with the crazy bitch?] [Prestigious3horns (Vinox 2): That makes no sense. If they were friends, why didn't they arrive until now? You would have thought they would all have been waiting in ambush together.] [Justiceistruth (Earth): Did she send out a distress call or something before kicking the bucket?] [DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): Adam's ship AI didn't report anything like that, and they normally do when they pick it up.] [AlamoMatador4thewin (Earth): Maybe she was cannon fodder.] [Phoenixempress (Fenix Nest): Cannon fodder?] [Whostolemyduck (Earth): It's a term used to describe someone as expendable. I think what AlamoMatador4thewin means in this case was that they used her to test the streamer's ship and its capabilities before they moved into attack.] [AlamoMatador4thewin (Earth): Exactly.] [Phoenixempress (Fenix Nest): I see, how cowardly.] [DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): Unfortunately for them, it didn't work; he barely even made an effort in killing Dolila's ship.]"What the hell is this? Some kind of tower defence game where they just keep coming in waves?"

Adam remarked before asking, "Tactical analysis."

"Ships consist of two large-class and four medium-class; they represent a minimal threat level unless I am hit by the large-class ships' main cannons or they all coordinate attacks against me," Spector replied.

"Two large-class and four medium-class ships only represent a minimal threat level? What sort of ship does your boyfriend have, Diva Lorelie?" Kasumi asked in an impressed tone of voice.

"A very special one," Lorelie replied with a bright smile.

"Stacey, can you come up to the bridge and take over weapon control? I want to try something new." Adam suddenly asked through the ship's comm.

"On my way," Stacey said before she stood up and dashed out of the mess hall.

"Ohhh, I want to go to, let me do something, please," Tephe asked in excitement.

"It seems Tephe is itching for some action," Malgath remarked with a smirk.

"Sorry, Tephe, but you're not registered as a crew member, so you can't operate any of the main systems," Adam replied.

"Aww, that's not fair, make me one of your crew members so that I can fight too," Tephe replied while pouting.

"I think he might be a bit too busy for that right now, Tephe dear. Why don't you ask him about it later, after he beats up all the bad guys?" Rowena said with a smile.

"Boooo, fine," Tephe said with another pout before slumping back in her chair and watching the stream. [Celebrityhunter69 (Earth): I wonder what the streamer has planned.] [Noobkiller9000 (Earth): I'm not sure, but he said that he wanted to try something new, so maybe it's something we have not seen before.] [1000yearsofdeath (Earth): @Beinglittleisnotadisadvantage Are you present so you can be surprised again? Kekeke.] [Beinglittleisnotadisadvantage (Strathorp 7): Present.] [Superhearofangirl (Earth): Oh, he's not even defending himself lol.] [Gunlovergirl (Earth): I'm hoping for something with crazy firepower.] [Animefangirl (Earth): I want a mech, please give us a mech, that would be so Anime.] [SciFifanboy (Earth): I noticed it earlier but chose not to comment since I thought it was a one-time thing, but why are you stealing my thing?] [Animefangirl (Earth): What?] [1000yearsofdeath (Earth): Oh, here we go, Kekeke.] [SciFifanboy (Earth): That's so …. Is my line, get your own.] [Animefangirl (Earth): It's a free internet, also, I'm not even saying That's so Sci-Fi, I'm saying That's so Anime.] [SciFifanboy (Earth): It's still my thing, get your own.] [Animefangirl (Earth): Nah ah, get used to me saying it because the streamer's streams are SOOOOOOOOO ANIME!] [SciFifanboy (Earth): 😡] [Animefangirl (Earth): 😹] [CEOHopkins (Earth): Are his streams normally like this?] [Gunlovergirl (Earth): Oh yeah, the banter here is crazy, and several rivalries are going off.]
