Kyle stepped onto the bridge of the High September,
She wasn't the prettiest ship in the fleet but she was a powerhouse. The bridge was set up in the standard layout for the Behemoth class Battlecruiser, it now had that "comfortable" feel to it. Kyle walked over to the holo table and called up the latest sensor reports, a pair of Hercules class Battlecruisers were slowly plotting by. Comm chatter indicated that they were looking for zerg activity in the area, or a place for the lead ship's Comm officer to take a leak, it was hard to tell.
Kyle continued to study the movements of the Dominion ships as his second in command stepped onto the bridge. Andrew Knox was a large man, of all the infested crew, he was one of the hardest to tell from a true Terran.

Andrew considered the second option for a moment, "Either way, it's your call commander."
Kyle pondered their situation for a moment, an encounter with the Dominion would be bad, very bad. They were also getting dangerously low on resources, Redstone III was rich in said resources. Having made his decision he spoke:
