Chessmaster, Pt 2

The mercenary fleet known as the Sword of Perseus quickly found themselves in an unwinnable situation. Behind them was the station they were hired to protect, and in front of them were the marauders who wanted all the precious treasure inside - medical grade narcotics.

And the marauders known as the Black Gorgon Brigade were notorious in the region for their bold tactics and vicious acts. Many knew they were willing to do whatever it takes to get what they wanted.

That almost always involved bloodshed.

The mercenary officers were clearly afraid of them - their reputation as an unbeatable fleet was widely known among many of the merc companies. Of course, three of their frigates being wrecked in a matter of minutes only strengthened that reputation. And the fear it generated.

Not that Lucifer was in any way bothered or stymied.
