This is the third mission of Warmachine, a weapon testbed reskin of Blue Planet: Age of Aquarius. Warmachine is a complete overhaul of Freespace's ships and weapons, with everything turned up to 11. We occupy the character of Commander Samuel Bei of the 222nd Nightwolves, stationed on the GTD Orestes. We have lost all contact with Command, and Admiral Bei has ordered the battlegroup back through the node. The GTC Duke, sent back through the jump node to Delta Serpentis ahead of us to reestablish contact, has gone incommunicado itself, and upon our arrival in Delta Serpentis she has been observed fleeing to the jump node to Ross 128 and refusing to respond to hails. This qualifies as desertion, and our wing is ordered to apprehend the cruiser. We have been equipped with intersystem jump-capable fighters to enable us to pursue the Duke should she get to the node before we take out her engines.

Be advised that the graphics for Warmachine include rapid flashes of light in varying colors. Viewers with photosensitive epilepsy may wish to skip this one.

This is Freespace 2 played using the upgraded graphics courtesy of the Freespace Upgrade Project's MediaVPs, on version 4.6.7 at time of recording. Check out the project at http://hard-light.net
