Chapter 28
The Second Battle of Fflint

“Nothing must touch this rod on the nose panel,” warns Major Hastings, “it’s primed. Even a light touch will set it off.”

“It’s a tiny charge though,” says MaxChaos, “just enough to ignite the gravitors and release them.”

“Gravitors?” asks Commander Rees.

“They’re not actually gravitors, not in the true sense,” continues MaxChaos, “FlashBang worked on gravitors to harness energy from gravity. They’re tiny projectiles. These ones have the same name because they look similar, but these are incendiaries. On impact with the top sail the FoxBat showers red hot explosive pellets down all the sails. Well that’s the idea!”

“You should call them flashbangs then?” suggests Commander Rees. “Just use one massive one, and send it straight into the hull.”

“The warhead can’t be heavy,” explains Major Hastings.

A watercolour painting of a pleasant looking 21 year old man with short, straight chestnut hair with hints of bronze. His cheekbones are well defined, almost sharp and defiant, leading towards a softer jawline which has an intriguing and yet unsettling, tiny dimple. His blue eyes have a childish quality, and if he wasn’t so rugged, he could be mistaken for a doctor. He's wearing a plain white T shirt and looks like a marine. By book 2 MaxChaos has a girlfriend, and was persuaded to get a haircut and get rid of the beard!

Major Hastings - a watercolour painting of a stern man in his mid forties. His military style short brown hair shows traces of grey at the sides. His light hazel eyes and neutral smile indicate a purposeful temperament. He is wearing cricket whites. He is a fictitious officer in the Lancaster Garrison, and is the fictitious president of Lancaster Cricket Club.
