We Need A Plan

[Faith Ackron]

"Commander, I hate to be the one to dampen the mood even more, but we don't have any senior staff on the ship, well aside from you." Faith told Christian softly, yet straight out. "I took the liberty to put the ship in low orbit around the moon when we found out that it was in fact a ship." We need a plan...

[Commander Christian Hughes]

Lisa had entered the room, too. As Assistant Chief Science Officer, she was now in charge of the Science Department. "Well," she said. "I don't think it takes so much time to work out it's hostile. If I may use the viewer?" Christian nodded for Lisa to go ahead, as she showed the brief scan in slow-motion. "Does that jog the photographic memory, Christian?"

Yes, it does! "Computer," Christian commanded urgently. "Compare to Vessel Veer." The computer computed for a while, then gave the answer:

"Ship confirmed to match reference ship class"

They were being spied upon by one of the sides, most likely Vhat's, "but why?" Christian thought aloud. "What reason could they have?" he wondered. "Why in the name of..."

Ba-doom. A projectile shook the ship. // Commander, this is the Bridge! // exclaimed the watch officer. // The thing fired at us! //. "Red Alert!" Christian ordered. "I am on my way." The sirens, the thrill of battle... and the tension of an enemy they could not see. The stage was set, and Christian alone was the director of this show.

It made him nervous as he literally dashed to the Bridge, followed by Lisa.

End Christian and Lisa - Move to Bridge

[Faith Ackron]

Oh crap. Was all that had gone past Ackron's mind as the red alert sounded and the ship jolted. This was going to be one interesting fight for sure. Faith tripped and fell on the way out. Embarrassing, but it brought back an old Rocky movie to mind. Hope we can still yell 'Yo Adrian' at the end. As she got up and went back to her post.

End Faith-Back to Bridge.
