He waited patiently as the siren alarm sounded throughout the ship. The communications board was alive with reports from all departments of battle readiness. "Science," He glanced over his shoulder to the woman at the station. "Full sensor sweep and report." "Heavy concentration of electromagnetic and radiological interference." The woman studied the readouts of her stations gather sensor information. "Appears to be a large concentration of debris ahead. Indicators suggest there is another vessel just beyond the debris, but stationary." "Communications?" The Captain swiveled half way around. ""Unable to establish stable contact.

All he could do now was wait for more information. He recalled that the initial distress signal did say that the three vessels were under attack. For the moment, he would proceed under that assumption.
