Chandler "One Gun" McMahon

"Target located & Acquired sir", the targeting officer says, "She's a Man-O-War sir, the RIP EL DIABLO". "My God", I replied "Going to take on the Devil himself". "He's not coming after us sir", Targ. Off. continues "He's going after a CC, looks like KZK colors". "Well lets get into their flight path and try to divert his guns to us", I.commanded. "Missed him with the first shot",gunner continues "Looks like we didn't draw his fire to us either Sir". "That's OK"' telling the crew. "Lets close the gap, we might be able to get in another shot". "Fire at will Gunner", I yelled "and if you get him this time I'll give all hands 2 days R & R at colony SSL ROMP". You could see the excitment in their eyes, I couldn't blame them. I had a great time when I was there, A few years back. Let's see, what was her name...Larissa, ah yes. A fine woman, never did see again after that. What a great time we had. Wonder what be- came of her, how she's doing....... ......sir, Sir, SIR!!!  "WHAT!", raising out of the past. "Oh-sorry, What were you saying?" "There's another ship engaging  EL DIABLO", "she's the ISP II SAGANIC MASS commanded by Commodore Larissa Anna Oberon". "What! Let me see that report" I replied. Sure enough it was the same woman. She could always fight with the best of them, thinking to myself, Be careful out there. She hit EL DIABLO hard sir, nailed him were it hurt's with her guns", radar reports "We got'em to sir, and he's bugging out". "We got the Devil on the run", I replied " that'll teach'em to mess with me". "Give me another target", I spat ,feeling cocky. "Sir", radar cuts in "the SAGANIC MASS got hit hard in her mains". "Damn, I want you to target that ship, I want his hide". "Sir that last shot (round 3) missed the Diablo", radar continues,"Running away to fast for us. Now locking on the WIDOWS KISS". "I've got a (grasping more then a handfull of his crouch as a jester) gun for you buddy", I said angerily. "Sir", radar cuts in "SAGANIC MASS isin't firing, she might have lost all of her guns". "Well, I guess we'll have to try and take him out ourselves", I stated "and pray that we do". "Sir, 4 ships are targeting WIDOW, and he's suffered extensive damage",radar reports "we just might beabl- "Not Now", I cut in "I want him & I want him now!". That was when I slam- med my fist down on the fire button at my console. Wasted shot, Widows Kiss wasn't even in our crosshairs. The only chance to avenge Larissa, and I blew it. I sure hope she made it out OK. She's to young to Die.

"Wow! Sounds like you did very well. But, I think you could use a new gunner's mate, if you know what I (wink) mean." "Not now Baby Dahl", I replied "I've got other business to take care of. Da BOSS wants me to finish a job for him", I finished. "Well folks, There goes a new hero for the SSL", Barbie continues "as well as for all of the Capellan Periphery".
