Chapter One - Arin
“Argh! These fuckers.” Abby groaned as another missile hit the shield and shook our ship.
Atmo Lander was barely holding up. Engines were redlined, shield generators overheated and we were taking heavy fire. We need to get out of this mess fast. I was doing my best to dodge any and all ordinances fired on us, but my best was still not enough.
“Abby, got any luck so far?”
“No, I don’t have enough firepower to take them down. Ion cannons are inoperable cause I don’t have enough energy left from your fancy flying.”
“My fancy flying is keeping us safe.”
“I kno-- damn it, a frigate is coming our way and this bucket won’t be able to handle it.”
“Fuck. Power down all weapon systems except point defense.”
I flipped the comm switch. “Hellhounds, I am cranking up speed. Brace yourselves!”
“If you make me puke Arin, you will be cleaning my suit.”
“No guarantees, buddy.” Vinu groaned as I chuckled and flipped off comms.
For the next few minutes, I was just following my instincts honed by rigorous training. The engines were howling and the frame was rattling. We were still taking hits here and there but with a squadron of Rays behind us. This was good enough.
Soon, we cleared the atmosphere. I sighed in relief as the Rays dropped back. I eased back on thrust. I started a deep scan and flipped the comms.
“Yo, everyone okay?”
“Oi Arin, this idiot stinks like a rat in a pirate ship. Can we throw him out of the airlock?”
“Fuck you, Btor.”
I flipped off comms as they kept bickering.
“Abby, check the scan. I will take us to the mothership in the meantime.”

“On it.”
“Prika, any luck with hacking?”
“I pulled off a copy of a priority report and a mission briefing before they secured their systems. I will decrypt it once we are in the bridge of the mothership.”
“We have a Dreadnaught class ship, most probably a carrier with a support fleet. There is a massive energy spike on the planet. Verifying transponder - it’s Sky. Two gunboats are closing in on our location and dispatching drones. Microfractures in the hull of our lander, shield generator three is out, and the reactor is close to normal temperature. Overall we are fine for now. Get us out of here.”
“Thanks, Abby. Take care of those drones, will ya.”
“Sure”

“There she is.” I spotted the mothership hidden in the asteroid belt and flew to the hangar.
Soon we were standing in the bridge looking at the mission debriefing.

“The rest of the briefing is corrupted. That’s all I could pull out of the first data packet.”
“Thanks, Prika. This is enough now for the next data packet. It was a transmission or a report, right?”
“Yeah, it’s a--”
“But they know a lot about us. What do we--”
“Not now, Hannah. First we will take a look at the second report and take care of our gear and ships. We will discuss all of this at the cafeteria later. For now, let’s see the next data packet. Okay?”
Hannah nodded.
“Yeah, it’s a transmission from planetside to the space force. Is it a report, or something else? We’ll find out in a minute.” Prika changed the data on the holoscreen.

The Radiant War
The human world is aflame with war. Nations clash with their neighbours, while the Kelvon Empire, bulwark of the human world, stands on the brink of civil war. The plans of the enemies of mankind to destroy human civilisation, to restore their own mastery of the world, are well on the way to success. The people of Helberion have vowed to defeat those plans, though. Peace must be restored between the various peoples of mankind so that they can combine their efforts against their true enemy. Even while her country strives to avoid conquest and defeat at the hands of their traditional enemies the Carrowmen, therefore, Princess Ardria journeys to Carrow to meet with the enemy King in an almost hopeless attempt to persuade him of the truth. All her hopes rest on the assumption that he in an unwitting dupe of the true enemy, but lurking at the back of her mind is the fear that he may be all too aware of the truth, that he may have sold out humanity for the promise of personal power. If this is true, then all that awaits her at the end of her journey through fear and danger is imprisonment and the life of a hostage to be used against her father, King Leothan. The Brigadier would help her if he could, but he and Malone, his former batman, are far away, each having their own missions to try and ensure the survival of human civilisation. Having completed his latest task, the Brigadier must race to join her, to assist and protect her, but will he reach her before she arrives at the palace of the enemy King? And will the Princess still have a country to be Princess of by the time she arrives there? Because even if Helberion manages to defeat the all conquering armies of Carrow there is another, even deadlier threat waiting in the wings against which there may be no defence... This is volume three of the Ontogeny series. If you haven't read volume one, Ontogeny, and volume Two, The Electric Messiah, you should read them first.
