The communications console blipped.
Ashley, checked her mobile, and was suitably puzzled by the lack of a text message to go with the bleeping, it wasnt until she looked down that she noticed the small flashing light that told her there was a message coming in.
It was an automated distress call, from a frieghter ship nearby. Allie, who was currently in command whilst Alota was down in the bowels of the ship fishing for a giant hamster in a big hole ordered the course change and the big blue one set off to assist the ship.
Around 2 hours later the Dwarf arrived at the coordinates given by the frieghter, which was still here, adrift in space.
"Theres noone alive there Allie" said Ashley.
Ashley, aware of Ashleys usual level of competnece checked for herslef, sure enough Ashley had for once, got something right.
"Make a note in the ships log" Allie said "At 17:00 hours we responded to a distress signal from a civilian freighter, on arrival the ship was disabled, the crew nowhere to be found".
Without warning the tactical console blipped into life.
Allie dashed across the Drive Room, heading toward the Dwarf was fleet of fighter craft, and a huge battleship.
"HAIL THEM!" Allie yelled an order across to Ashley.
"No response Ms Fletcher!" was Ashleys reply minutes later, the shuttles kept coming, The lead ship hailed them.
"Surrender and prepare to be boarded" came a familiar sounding voice allie couldnt quite put her finger on who's.
"You want to come aboard, your not gonna do it without a fight!" she replied defiantly.
"if thats how you wanna play" replied the attacker, and opened fire.
"FLETCHER TO THE FLIGHT DECK!" Allie screamed into the tannoy "All pilots launch a defensive immediatly!!!"
From the shuttlebay hundreds of small shuttles launched lead by Kayn in the valkyrie.
Deep in the asteroid field, Amber recieved Allies orders.
She immediatly set course and headed back for the dwarf.
