Quote:“Captain, according to the wireless range finder, there is no one else in a position to stop them aside from us.”

*recording indicates seven seconds of silence aside from normal bridge noises*

“Then it’s up to us.”

“But we’re just—”

“In the right place at the right time, XO Jorgenson.”

*PA System Announcement Whistle*

“This is the captain speaking. Battle stations. This is not a drill. Battle stations. I repeat, all hands to battle stations. Prepare for combat. We are about to engage the enemy fleet. Repeat, this is not a drill.”

*battle stations klaxon is heard in background*

“Comms, Priority message to High Command. Message reads: Zeta. Zeta. Zeta. Enemy airships, numbering eighteen, on approach from North by Northeast over the Baltic, altitude three kilometers, four hundred kilometers south of Stockholm, two hundred kilometers east of Copenhagen. The Kvasir is the only ship currently in range. Optical examination reveals they are carrying city-buster ordnance. They are heading on a course for Copenhagen, Lubeck, or Hamburg. We will buy what time we can. Requesting immediate reinforcements. Zeta. Zeta. Zeta. End message.”

“Signal sent, Captain Haddock.”

“Thank you, Mr. Irving. Helm, get us up above the cloud deck. Drop all ballast and prepare for maximum altitude. All non-essential personnel are to be evacuated. Include a copy of the bridge record in their pods.”

“Aye, Ma’am.”

“Wings, prepare to deploy our dragons. We’re going to need screening elements and spotters.”

“Yes, Captain.”

“Comms, instruct Engineer Mac Phearson to take the safety governors off the focusing array and deploy all of the remaining elements of the distributed array. And prepare their focal elements for long-range collimation. He’ll know what I mean.”

“Aye aye, Ma’am.”

*recording indicates thirty more seconds of bridge conversations as orders are followed*

“What are you thinking, Ma’am?”

“I’m thinking that our little airship is the only thing standing between those bombs and cities of several million people, XO.”

“That’s true. But when I said the other day that I was hoping to live up to my family name, this wasn’t what I had in mind.”

“Nor me, but while we can make our choices, we don’t get to pick what decisions we’re faced with, do we?”

“No. We don’t. Ma’am, are you planning on going out there personally?”

*nine more seconds of background conversations*

“I suppose that I should. Send word to have Inquisitive saddled, would you?”

“Aye, Ma’am. See you on the other side.”

“On the ground or in Valhalla, Snitlout. It has been an honor working with you.”

—Bridge Records of Imperial Science Ship Kvasir, Captain Dame Astrid Haddock VII commanding, prior to attempted sneak attack on Imperial territory.

All essential hands and wings of the Kvasir were lost, but brought down sixteen times their tonnage in enemy airships and delayed the enemy forces from their objectives by twelve hours, allowing for the massing of a defensive force and the activation of air defenses in targeted cities. Captain Haddock and Inquisitive (NF-00005871b) did significant damage to the enemy propulsion systems and gas envelopes after the Kvasir was downed, and they, and their entire crew, were granted honors—the majority of them posthumous—for their actions.

How long has it been since I did one of these?

Wikikenna (retrieved August 22, 1871) Wrote:The First Battle of the Seine River was fought in August AD 1043 by the combined forces of the Hooligan Tribe of Berk and William Haddock, Duke of Normandy, against the forces of several rebel Norman barons, led by Sir Henry of Brittany, son of Regent Godefroy of Brittany, in their efforts to seat Gui de Brionne, the son of Reginald I, Count of Brionne, on the ducal throne of Normandy.

The battle—technically a series of holding actions along the length of the Seine River at various bridges near Rouen—was a strategic victory for the Hooligans, despite the loss of the Hooligan Marshal, Spitelout Jorgenson I, and a number of other men and dragons to the attacking Francian forces. The holding actions allowed for the strategic goal of complete evacuation of the various Jewish communities from North Francia to the Alban Isles…

…often referred to as the opening battle of the Norse Reformation, the battle was instrumental in a Norse cultural shift of its warrior ideal from aggressors to protectors…

In Vedrarfjord, Hákon gets the briefing from Padráig on his faith-based screw-up (detailed in our last inciting exstallment), and they're starting work to make it right when the news comes in from Normandy. Hiccup and his family arrive on Berk to get the same news. In the mountains east of Almatu, chief Özhan plans a strike against Drago. Back on Berk, the newly-appointed Marshal Astrid draws up her plans for the next battle(s). In Sir Henry's encampment outside the walls of Rouen, Rivkah, recently forcibly baptized, tends to a prisoner whose value she doesn't know. At his smithy on Eigg, Gobber accepts the commission of a thousand-foot chain for Astrid's plan, then accepts Boarguts' delivery of one (1) Musa Toledano Ibáñez, in good working order and ready to assist. In the ville of Wellebou, not far from the action, one Father Pierre sees a vision, which he misinterprets even as he understands it. In the Ingerman house on Berk, Heather laments the loss of her Jewish clerks, even as she understands them needed elsewhere, and contemplates alternatives moving forward. In London, Magnus attends an emergency witan to discuss the resettlement of the Francian Jews, which discussion gets quite spirited at times. And we close on Berk, where a crowd that had been waiting for Heather now has an awkwardly-timed, but reasonable-sounding, request for Stoick...

Has there been ANY chapter without them in this story, though?

True, but in this case, it's also an explicit hate crime against a real life group, which hits me that little bit harder than hate crimes against a fictional minority. I know the shit mutants are dealing with in the story is realistic, but there's that extra layer of separation that makes it easier for me to process and take in. This chapter made me need to walk away from the computer for a few minutes to calm down.
