The Test of the RTDS (Rune Terrain Defense System) was going according to plan, the Old and outdated Assault ship drifted between the Moon of Rune, and Rune itself.

The 120 storie tall Rail gun stood nearly unseen as a fog had fallen over the night and the rail gun was a figure in the mist.

The commander of RTDS was sitting at his control desk his hands folded

“What is the magnetism at?”

The tech in charge of magnetism looked at his control panel

“Uh we are at 94% and holding”

The Commander had a smirk on his face

“Good, prepare the shell”

“Common Get that shell ready!”

The men in power suits lifted the huge shell into place and shut the hatch

“Clear the room! Clear the room!”

The men scurried out of the room and closed the large plastic door.

One of the men picked up a blue phone

“Loaded, ready to fire”

“Sir we have got a firing confirmation do you wish to continue”

“Yes prepare to fire on my mark….5…4..3..2..1..Mark”

There was a immense sound as the round was accelerated from 0 to near light speed

The fog around the Rail gun was sucked in by the wake of the round and corkscrewed around the path of the round

It only took a few seconds for the round to reach the ship

When it did the round impacted the lower part of the ship. The round bore a hole the side of large semi thru the ship.

The entire ship seemed to bend at the seems the ships air rushed out of the hole leaving the ship to fall out of orbit and be incinerated in the atmosphere

A cry went up as the round impacted the ship

Papers were thrown and the Techs screamed in delight Rune was now able to defend itself from outside forces.
