798 Curiousity

Back aboard the station, the mood was jubilant. They had just finished a battle with the highest individual kill rates and lowest casualties in the history of the conflict, and the Arisen Fleet had retreated in record time. 

Even better, while the weapons were new to them, they were not entirely new, as the technology was familiar to the Arisen, so there was no reason for them to adopt new defensive measures to counteract the Ion Cannons. 

It was a win without a real downside, and they had learned a lot in their first battle after training. 

All that the new Pilots could talk about was the things that they wanted to try next time. Techniques that worked well but were only mastered later in the battle, and ones that they had seen others use but hadn't had time to try themselves.
