Chapter 135 The Pursuit 3 (1/2)

Just as Lenny finished speaking those lines, he turned off the comm system of the Pod.

Without delay, the warning ranging all over shuttle's console, stopped.

”Starting FTL Warp Jump.” The robotic voice said, ”Failed: Escape Pod is unable to perform Warp Jump. Reason: Jamming equipment interfering with the FTL Engine. Solution: Get out of the jamming's range of effect, or destroy the source.”

”This is bad.” Lenny spoke as he walked back to his seat, ”They are still after us and they also have some FTL jammers.”

”What about your friend?” Forge suddenly asked.

”If he performed the jumped just after I called him, he might be arriving.” Lenny said, ”Try to stay out of their reach until Connor arrive to save us.”

”Okay.” Forge nodded and went back to type at the console.

”Autopilot deactivated. Starting manual maneuver. Please, pilot, be ready.”

Just like that Forge grabbed the controls of the shuttle and started to manually pilot the escape pod.

Lenny could only watch as Forge moved the escape pod with her pilot skills.

Although Lenny couldn't say that she was the best pilot he had ever seen, he had to admit that she was better than himself.

He was simply terrible in piloting spaceship, a little better with Mechs, and a professional with his hoverbike.

While he was filling a little down as he simply couldn't do anything to help Forge right now, he consoled himself by remembering that he was the best sharpshooter in the universe, at least as far as he knows.

The Miniknog ships were easily getting close to the escape pod as they had better thrusters and pilots.

It was impossible to overrun a Sparrow-class spaceship that was built with the purpose of pursing and destroying enemies with such escape pod.

Those ships had more thrusters than normal Sparrow-class spaceship, and also had better weaponry.

”Warning, warning!” The robotic voice rang at the shuttle once again, ”High levels of energy coming from behind the Escape Pod. Energy weaponry locked-on at Pod. Pilot, start evasive maneuvering!”

”Shit!” Lenny cursed as he heard the warnings.

He was sure that the Miniknog wouldn't give the order to destroy them, but that this didn't mean they could damage the escape pod enough to bring them to halt.

If they were aiming for the engines, the laser would pierce the hull and destroy the equipments in the way and in the surroundings due to the sheer temperature of such energy weapon.

”Forge!”

”I'm on it!” Forge said out loud as she made the pod change route and shake off their aim.

But the movements were very limited with such shuttle, and the Miniknog kept their aim at them as the weapon finished charging.

Lenny stretched his neck to see the situation outside from the screen in front of Forge her shoulder.

He could only see about 5 Sparrow-class spaceships in hot pursuit, and the two leading the group had already finished charging the energy weapon.

*BOOM!!!!!!*

*BOOM!!!!!*

The shuttle in which Lenny and Forge were, shook at as soon as they were hit with the energy beam.

”Critical damage at FTL Engine, Warp Jump now is impossible.” Lenny heard the robotic voice warn them as emergency red lights flashed all over the shuttle, ”Back thrusters 3 and 4 had been destroyed, speed will be slowed down significantly. External hull has been heavily damaged, Life Support Systems are failing. Please wear the spacesuits.”

Lenny was glad that he wore the spacesuits as soon as they got into the pod.

With that hit, there was a oxygen leakage and the Oxygen Recycler had also been destroyed with those hits.
