The World Game
“The pilots were frantically putting reaction mass data and relative velocities of ships, fragments and moon to try to outrun the fragment swarm and hide behind the moon. The Space City shuttles would have no problem making the distance, however the two remaining lower altitude transports did not stand a chance. The fragments would overtake them half way. There was just not enough reaction mass to complete the equation successfully.
The other three transports X1, X2 and X3, could not run to the ...moon, but would take their chances shielding behind the bulk of space city. They were gambling that the missile that Skyhook terminus had become would miss Space City and leave it as a shield of sorts.
“X6 come in, this is X4. Over” the pilots were reduced to simple radio communications ship to ship, now that all infrastructure was dust.
“X6 here. What do you have in mind Corcoran? Over”
“If we do nothing we have no chance at all. I was thinking about what Carver did, picking up the Air Force One reaction mass.MoreLess
