"Nice throw! bet you cant do that at g!"

"What a throw across the cargo bay, na don't think I can" he caught the football as it was returned. (stolen from enterprise)

"Bridge to Captain" said a cool but tense voice over the intercom.

"Go ahead" The man said as he put away the football.

"We've got unidentified ships of an unidentified class on screen!" The voice had lost its cool tone and was quickly becoming urgent.

"Hail them!"

"Already tried on all channels, they are not responding but energy levels are increasing according to our sensors?"

"Any way to tell if its engines or weapons?"

"None sir!"

"On my way, head to the boundary of the gravity well and prepare for phase jump! Ensign!"

"Yes sir?" the other man participating in the game replied.

"Go to your post I want those weapons ready! Bridge prepare weapons as well!"

"Roger that sir, shields charged and ready."

"Good hopefully we can get out of this---"

"Theres no more?"

"None admiral"

"The recorder show any signs of a struggle?"

"No sir, its like they just didnt exist any more"

"And there was no debris left either I take it?"

"None at all"

"Damn this is the fifth incident this week!"

"What are we going to do?"

"What can we do? This cobbled fleet was only made in response to pirate raiders and this wasn't pirates, too fast and efficient! The trade order doesn't have enough coordination or power!"

"So we are just going to wait?"

"Of course not! Send some escorts with any ship sticking to civilized routes!" The Admiral could only pray that he had not just sent good men to their deaths. Little did he know that a few escorts meant nothing to the Vasari, a race who had made a living on destroying and raiding other cultures.
