I looked at the admiral as he watched the scan intently before sitting up, "clear."
Chapter 7
Our return
We shared space in the cramped courier almost without complaint. The exception was commander Marie Anne White, she startled easily. On the third day I finally pulled her into the tiny cabin I shared with captain Zane. I stood by the door, "strip."
Her eyes widened, "what?"
I pointed to the fresher cabinet, "strip and wash. I will guard you and captain Zane will use the recycler to clean your clothes."
She reddened as she looked away and I stepped close to lift her face, "I will not allow you to be touched or harmed."
She looked into my eyes before finally nodding and I stepped back. She undressed and stepped into the fresher and closed the hatch. I took her clothes and opened the cabin hatch, "sir?"
Zane grinned, "I knew you would charm her."
He slipped away to clean the clothes as I closed the hatch and waited. It was awhile before Zane knocked and I accepted her clothes. It was even longer before the fresher hatch opened. I waited and she stepped out and stood trembling. I handed her clothes to her and waited for her to dress before pointing to the bed, "sleep."
She smiled, "this is not..."
I held up my hand, "the admiral’s orders ma’am, sleep."
She nodded and slowly laid down before closing her eyes. It was a few minutes before her breathing changed. After that I would watch her each day as she washed and slept and the complaints and tempers settled down. Two months later the courier slowed beside the huge battleship. Captain Trent eased the ship closer and then ratings in hard suits were docking us.
Two straight days of debriefings had a lot of people very upset over the treatment we had received, especially the women. I walked aboard the huge troop transport that was almost completely empty. It was one of three and only one had troops. We had the battleship, four cruisers and eight destroyers as escorts when we left. I glanced at the hatch to my cabin when it open and stood, "ma’am?"
Commander now captain White stepped in, "it looks like we are sharing the cabin commander."
That had been a surprise, I had been promoted and jumped over full lieutenant to lieutenant commander. I blinked, "Share ma’am?"
She smiled, "relax Star. You helped me more than anyone and probable more than you know. Once we return they are separating me."
I shook my head, "why..."
She stepped close and touched my shoulder, "you more than anyone know why."
I nodded and she glanced around, "A little larger than our last cabin."
I looked around, "a little."
She set her kit bag on a bunk, "so..."
I smiled, "ever been on a troop transport?"
She shook her head and I led her out to explore. Two months later we sat in jump seats and watched as combat shuttles dropped away from another transport and streaked down into the atmosphere. I stood, "permission to head to the shuttle sir."
The captain glanced back, "granted commander."
I looked at captain White, "see you later?"
She smiled, "yes."
I turned and strode out and moved quickly down to the shuttle bays. Empty shuttles were prepped to begin prisoner rescue and I climbed aboard the one headed to camp Doom. I nodded to the shuttle crew chief and he grinned, "ready to go."
The shuttle jarred and then there was a moment of acceleration before the compensators caught up. Later I stood as the crew chief signaled and moved to the hatch. A moment later the shuttle settled to the ground and I opened the hatch and hit the ramp. I walked out to see the men we had left, "anyone want a ride home?"
They grinned and then the colonel in charge began getting them lined up and moving them in. I stayed as the shuttle left and listened to the sat comm reporting the enemy base secure. Another shuttle landed and almost all the prisoners climbed aboard to leave. I went with the last shuttle up and it dropped me at the enemy base before loading some of the female prisoners.
I watched it leave before turning to walk through the base and to the line of enemy prisoners. Eighty percent knew what would happen and fought to the death. I nodded to the lieutenant in charge and looked at the prisoners, "split them into three groups, officers, NCOs and enlisted. Strip them and issue the red jump suits and make sure they do not have anything after you strip them."
The lieutenant nodded as I turned and headed towards the female prison. The female trauma teams were with the worst cases and the few guards protecting them glared. I ignored them as I slowly looked around before gesturing to a female master chief that was one of the guards. She strode to me, "What?"
I looked at her and smiled slightly, "first master chief I was one of the prisoners. Second I want all the bastards that did this too. And third, I see at least a dozen surveillance vid cameras. I want any recording from them showing any enemy."
She shook herself, "sorry sir."
She looked around before gesturing, "Davis, Adams!"
She moved aside as I gestured to another guard. She walked to me and I turned to face her, "find a vid camera. I want everything you see in this compound on a vid. Beds, what little shelters they had and the latrines. Vid everything so we have a record to hang these bastards."
She relaxed and nodded, "yes sir."
I went to the medical teams and waited for an angry commander to turn, "ma’am you need to move them to the field even if you have to sedate them. We need to finish and get off this rock, they have spent enough time here."
She took a breath before nodding as I left and headed to the commander’s office. An intel team was already inside working when I stepped in, "finish or take it with us."
They looked up and then nodded before going back to work. I went to the landing area and made a check of shuttles left and those leaving as the last of the female prisoners were loaded. The colonel in charge of the raider battalion walked up and I came to attention, "almost ready sir."
He nodded and looked around, "nasty business this. When this gets out things are going to change."
The master chief from the compound led her guards towards the last shuttle and stopped to hand me a vid camera, "hang the bastards sir."
I nodded and watched them before looking at the platoon of intel men jogging towards us. I turned to follow and rode the shuttle up. An hour later the fleet was heading out and I was knocking on admiral Green’s quarters. The men captured were tried by an impartial tribunal we had brought and all but one was sentenced to death. Two months later we were back in our own territory and already the news was spreading.
Two dozen systems went over to us as well as another six surrendering outright. Four of their twelve fleets changed sides within weeks and two others scuttled all their ships. The couple of battles had been brutal with both fleets damaged so bad neither would ever leave the system. The end came with kinetic strikes on the enemy capital system planet by four new battleships.
I was given leave and headed home, I did not go alone. Besides all the men that had escaped with me, captain White was coming as my wife. When I walked off the shuttle my father was waiting and smiled, "your late Star Hawk."
I grinned and hugged him, "I had to walk out."
