Threat Amongst The Stars

Cosgrove presented her idea to Luando. Iras looked at the Captain approvingly, she gave the Captain a salute. "Very good Captain," she sent a smiling Captain Cosgrove on her way and returned to the Intrepid's bridge.

Beep beep! Beep beep! Beep beep! Luando's communicator flashed. She was in a world of her own, looking out at the stars from the comfort of the bridge. "Ma'am," a cadet mumbled. Luando turned, facing the pale lanky man in Imperial uniform. "Your communicator ma'am. I think it's urgent." Commander Iras quickly pulled out the communicator and activated it. "Commander Iras Luando of the ISD Intrepid, who is this?"
"Finally Commander you find the time to answer me." Iras recognised the voice in an instant, the cold constantly aggressive tone would be recognisable for any Imperial higher up. The cold aggressive tone of Grand Admiral Darsh Abalam.

Quickly Luando tried to change her tone, she made herself sound weaker. "Grand Admiral we weren't expecting you so early," Luando hurried her words. "I am slightly ahead of schedule but my work on Tatooine was swift. We dealt with those insurgents in Mos Zelten in no time." Luando didn't even want to start to imagine Abalam's victory techniques, they'd likely be too much even for someone as slightly psychotic as herself. "Excellent news Grand Admiral. It's good to have you here at such a crucial time!"
"Very good Commander Luando. If you don't see it rude I have reviewed your records, I hope you don't mind that I personally requested to ensure the success of Project Enkindle."
"Very good Grand Admiral, I look forward to the Malice's arrival."
"We are already in Denon's orbit Commander. Have your shuttle come aboard as soon as possible." Luando felt a nervous feeling in her gut. "Right away Grand Admiral Abalam, I'll be there immediately."
"I will transfer the boarding codes to your personal device."
"Thank you Grand Admiral."
"You're very welcome Commander Luando." Beep beep! The communicator shut down. Luando took a deep breath, and prepared immediately for her dispatch to the ISD Malice.
