The witness has to vanish C1-2

The customs branch sees a spaceship entering our sector of space. we wish to board.

C1
I am the captain of my ship; these are my thoughts as I write them here on this log. I go by the name of Janet Maletea. The ship is a cruiser-class starship called Hexus D. It has a formidable armament for a coast guard space vessel. I have inherited the ship through my work on it, and it was passed down to me by my father. He knew my reasoning with the crew of my ship. He knew I was dynamic with the people I have to use to help me with the difficulties in life. One of my true friends was Cecil Comery who had made admiral in the system that is there.

We were concerned that someone was moving into our sector. We had a suspicion that someone was bringing in something that could endanger our people. We did not see any of these items until recently.

The ship had been in this sector watching over the section to see if anyone had entered. The spaceship has armaments as it is the coast guard branch of the confederation, to protect the people of from gaining their illegal merchandise or weapons.


"I want them to stop! "Hard to port! Get in front of them!" I said as I watched the manta ray starship move across the radar scope. My suggestion would put us right in their path. They would have to stop or plow into us or go through us. It seemed odd that they had no other ships there to protect them from whoever would dare to attack them.

Previously this space vessel appeared in our sector. HEXUS received it on our radar scope. We began to move toward it. The craft we encountered entered our sector of space without any fanfare, HEXUS approached it. The ship did not do anything to acknowledge or seem to notice HEXUS. We were trying to raise it by using the communication systems we had on HEXUS. The vessel bore no identification on it to designate whose star system they were from, or what they were carrying on this vessel. I wouldn't mind being on one of them myself. It looked to be a luxury-class ship. It was shaped like a manta ray. We did not know why it was here. We tried to draw the attention of the captain of this ship there, but we were unable to draw any attention from them.

I said, "Raise the com."

The com tech has blond hair, she is lanky in build. She was determined to do these things herself, she is aware of what we are doing here. She is concerned with them being here. She is able to do this, she trusts the crew of our ship, she has been with us for years on end. She was wearing a skirt with a blue blouse, she looked at the Capt. and Stevie Sigmoind said, "Capt. Com raised!"

I said, "Send out a communique." I was wearing a black jacket, with a satin blouse and a thigh length skirt, I had a monocle on my right eye.

Sigmoind said, "Communique sent!" Sigmoind did this as I knew she would. However the ray did not notice this com. They in fact began to pick up speed after he did this. It was heading deeper into our sector. It was as if they were challenging us to do something about their flight here.

"Identify yourself. Where do you hail from?" Sigmoind asked, "No response!"

The helmsman Sand was very much aware of what had happened, he had just turned twenty years of age, just gained his position on the ship with a few years of experience with them and had black hair. He was muscular in build. His shirt was satin, and grey in color, he had a hook on his right hand. He started to do this by steering our ship into their path. This boat had begun to slow down. It did not stop. We moved toward it, then we prepared to use mines to stop it from moving any further into our sector. When we were where we should be to drop the mines into their path, we retreated as the mines were dropped.

"Drop mines!" I said as I saw it move away from the mines. That this would surely stop them from moving. The mines were drums filled with explosives attached to chains to more of them creating a net to stop the ship from moving any farther. The mines should have punctured the armor of the ship to bleed out the air which they needed to breathe. I was certain that they would stop.

Sigmoind heard no response from the ship that we wanted to stop. The ray began to quickly turn around as the canisters rolled into the space sector.

This suggested that they knew what these mines would do if they came in contact would explode as close as 15 meters away thanks to the sensors. There were chains attached to each to create like a net that fell a mile in length.

This craft fired a volley of cannon fire across the bow of HEXUS. Some of these shells hit my ship. On our gunnery deck. My ship rocked by the explosions. The lights dimmed, the crew were shaken. Reports came in about the ship's damage. we heard that there were some sections that were hit most heavily.

"Damage?" I asked as the board showing HEXUS's designs.

"There were three sections damaged. With significant damage." Sigmoind said as she heard reports of damage to the ship.

"How much air did we lose! Send rescue parties!" I said. The damaged section saw bodies rise out of these sections.

"The hull of these sections crushed," Gunnery tech Gudtude stated. He was a gambler with his life; he usually played cards whenever he had half a chance to do so. He studied judo and karate and was quick with his hands, he has a lot of upper body strength as he looked at the board. He wrung his hands together, as tears spilled from his eyes.

"Seal the sections," I stated, "Return fire!"

The klaxons were wailing, the lights were now red in color. HEXUS was rocked was been hit with a huge tidal wave. My crew members slipped and slid away from their feet to fall upon the corridors and rooms. The crew was frightened by what has happened to the ship in this instance. But it was something that they could expect to happen if we were under attack. Which I believe we were.

"Battle stations!" I said as I sat down in my chair. My eyes were wide with surprise. No one was that stupid! To attack a coast guard vessel. These people will pay for that! I promise you that they will pay the price for daring to fire upon my ship.

We watched the ray begin to fire a burst of lasers on Hexus. The beam hit our craft on the aft side. We began to take damage from this as well. I turned on the cannons to hit the vessel with a barrage as I did not see their weaponry until we fired upon them. The weaponry was concealed by armor that was up beside them to protect them from enemy attack. I spotted the weaponry on the ray. The cannons roared. The ray tried to take out the shells as they sped toward them. But a few got past them.

The vessel began to retreat from us. Picking up speed again. I knew I had to stop the craft from moving further into my sector of space. So, I said, "Hammer them with lasers."

"The radar system locked on?" Gutlute inquired as she looked at the radar com. Sand wore a baseball cap. His eyes were wide with horror, his face showed the blood vessels there as he saw the ship avoid the laser cannons.

"Locked on," Sand said, as he looked at Gutlute. His face wore a frown. He pointed a finger at the ship that was there. There was a glowing light on the craft. He smiled as the light appeared on it.

Sigmoind peered over at me and said, "No response?"

"Stop doing this!" Gutlute said as she watched the ship veer to the right to avoid the lasers from hitting it.

The dock took damage. Struck our ships. Our docks was hit. The dock took significant damage. A few shuttles were ablaze. Our people were occupied putting out the damage there.

"The targeting array." I stated as I looked at the screen.

"Target?" Gutlute asked as she looked at me.

"The bridge. The drives!" I stated.

"What do you wish to fire?" Gutlute asked as she looked at me, I imagined her trying to catch whatever she could to damage the ship attacking us. He saw pieces of their ship spill away from the vessel. Showing its damage done to it. Gutlude seemed at ease seeing this occur here.

"Torpedoes!" I screamed as I watched the scope. The ship shuddered as it accepted damage. I watched the torpedoes hit our ship.

The ship began to shudder, and shake. The team working on the fire on the shuttles.

"Number of torpedoes?" Gutlute said as she peered at the scope to her right on the bridge. Her hand shook as she touched the switch to engage the weapons. She was going to use on it.
"
Sixteen!" I said.
"
Fire now or on count?" Gutlute said as she lifted the covers off of the array. I wouldn't want to be there when this hellfire was used. The vessel fired their cannons upon us, but these shells missed us by scant a foot.

The crew was quiet, Gutlude watched the screen. She lifted up the covers on the weapon systems to use. She looked at me as I sat there watching the radar scope. I grit my teeth, tasted blood as it trickled into my mouth. I thought a moment, then decided what I would need next to come into being on their ship.

Gutlude wiped her brow to remove sweat from falling into her eyes.

"On count! One," I exclaimed as I sat down.

"Got it! One!" Gutlute said, as she lifted the firing cover, the switch would now be activated. Beads of sweat had begun to appear on her brow. She paused for a moment. Than I continued, "Two!"

Her finger was raised over the firing button.

"Fire on three!" Gutlute said as she looked at me, as I grit my teeth and nodded.

"Three!" she said as she raised her thumb and brought it down to where it should be, once the torpedoes were away. She waited a moment, she saw the torpedo hit the drives. Our ship shuddered, the lights had gone down, but came up in an instant. We heard, "There's a fire in the drive system."

"Torpedoes launched!" Gutlute said as she hit the switch. The radar scope showed the torpedoes sail past the drive and what we assumed was the bridge.

Sand said, "Success! We, I believe, have their attention at the moment!"

The vessel began to turn toward us, we saw torpedoes leap from its belly to sail at us. They did appear able to fire at HEXUS' defenses. We smelled smoke and saw flames begin to crawl across the floor, there was a substantial loss of air in this section.

The gunnery deck began to take damage from this attack. It had taken an instant to allow the ship to return fire upon us. We saw weapons on the fore and starboard of their ship. Our ship was driven back. We heard voices coming over the com. "Fire has occured. Air is removed from the ship. Where it was struck."

The crew was occupied with trying to put out fires and sealing off the sections of the ship hit by its torpedoes.

"Torpedoes in tube?" I said as I put my hands behind my back and watched the radar scope.

"Yes! Captain," Gutlute said as she looked at the systems that were armed to defend the ship or attack another ship.

"Fire all!" ,I said. Watched her face as she hit the button.

"Fire eight torpedoes," Gutlude said and smiled. This has been done beforehand to have a ship listen to their request if they failed to do this.

"Has it hit?" I asked.

"Yes," Gutlute said as she waited to see the explosions, her targeting had been getting better at the moment.

Our ship was fired upon by the guns of the craft, they hit the targeting screens on my ship. If they did this a few more times we would be blind. I could not have this happen to us.

"Launch at the drives," I stated.

"Hit them!" , I said as I rubbed my hands together imagining I was grinding them into dust.

"Hard!" I said as I watched the ship become hit by them.

"Launched," Gutlute said as she grit her teeth. Punched the buttons to fire them.

"He did it. Captain," Sand saw that the volley arrive there.

"Just to tell them we mean business!" I said, smiled at Gutlute.

We saw on the radarscope the lights that emerged from the ship we were pursuing. It looked like eight as well. Were they willing to match us volley for volley? We did not know.

"Fire returned," Sand said as our ship was rocked by missile fire.

The ship's emergency system was created to protect us. The lights turned red. People began to move toward their seats in the ship or go to their beds. The troops raced to grab their armor and weaponry.

Gutlute smiled as he looked at us and grabbed the seat she was to be in. She hit the keyboard to bring up the choices of weapons they could use to defend themselves with. She asked, "Weapon choices?"

"Are there torpedoes in the tubes?" I said as I watched Gutlute sit down and put on her glasses. So she could see better, but I knew it was a ruse.

"In tubes, sixteen. Do you think that'll slow them down?" Gutlute said.

"Fire! I don't know but we are telling them that we're serious now!" I said as I watched the radar scope.

"Target?" Gutlute said as he speered at me as I sat there staring at the Sigmund's board which was lit up.

"Fire on the drives and cannons," I said as I wiped my mouth with my sleeve, seeing blood on the sleeve where it touched my mouth. I spat out some blood. I glared at Gutlude as she sat there awaiting my orders. She winced, seeing me do this. Her hands grew bloodless, as she held the targeting array where it should be to administer what I wished for us to do to their ship.

The other vessel fired on us. It hit the drive system as we hit theirs. HEXUS was harmed. The power went down on our ship for a moment. Gutlute punched in an activation code to bring the power back up. The enemy craft waited a few minutes, then fired their laser cannons on us. Their captain opened fire on us. Hitting our drives. Our ship shuddered and stopped moving. We suspected that there were eyes on their command bridge, but we were unable to receive any response from their ship.

So I advised, "Prepare to fire at the bridge." It will either stop them or they will die beneath our barrage of fire. They hadn't returned fire yet. Gutlute knew what to do. She had been trained to do this for years. The cannons were fired once.

"Identify yourself. Where do you hail from? What is your purpose in our sector of space?" Sigmoind asked over the com again.

He heard a sound over his earphones. He said, "Say again!"

Then he heard it, a woman's voice. It sounded sensual like a doxy's voice would sound. He imagined this woman, pleasuring herself as she said these words to him, "PLEASURE ME MATEY! Dorty is where we're from, star system D16. Please make me cum!"

"I see. What is your purpose in our sector of space?" Sigmoind asked as she looked at the radarscope above our heads. The ship was continuing to fly deeper into our sector of space avoiding the mines. We were worried about them attacking us.

"Advise them to stop and prepare to be boarded by us!" I said as I saw the ship retreat from where it was.

We then heard over the com, "We will allow you to board HEXUS. We will stop trying to evade you."

Our soldiers boarded shuttle craft. We seemed nervous; we did not know what we were walking into. Was it a trap?

The other ship stopped firing on us. Our soldiers were heading to draw weapons out of the armory, and ammo as well to arrive on the manta ray ship. To enter this ship, we did not know what we were walking into. The troops went down to where our shuttle crafts awaited their arrival there. The shuttles looked like a milk carton on its side, with only half of it visible there. It sloped down from the roof to the ground, on supports which numbered two. It could carry 15 soldiers at a time. These soldiers were armed to the teeth with weapons. Our commander would carry with him a pistol and a pair of handcuffs.

CHAPTER 2

The thirteen of us boarded the shuttle craft, one pilot knew what he was to do. He had been in combat with us for many years. He trusted his group of soldiers with his life as did they him. He looked at the ship as he left the docking bay, he looked across the area to see the three shuttles ablaze, he knew that he had lost three members of the crew of pilots, he was a gargantuan of man in scale.

Our commander Janice Salenda was bull headed, aggressive with her demeanor in dealing with people. She carried a laser pistol, and a set of handcuffs. She was a large women with gloves like a gorilla. She looked at the twelve of us as we boarded the shuttle. The troops carried semi automatic laser rifles along with their daggers,

First lieutenant Felix Soloman was quick with her mouth and was belligerent in her behavior with people outside of her unit. Short and easily adjutated her hair was cut short, her left hand is fastest.

The other person who was second leiutenant Helen Meta, needing to wear glasses, having a pinky removed from her left hand. Her hair was to her shoulder. She had a thorn in her side in regards to anyone who dared to approach her thinking about doing her harm.

Nicole met us at a bar, she looked us over. She wore a scoop neck top which was silver in color. She wore a black sequined skirt, on her shoulder hung a submachine gun. She has crimson lipstick, and a faint hint of rouge on her cheeks, eyes had red eyeshadow. She lifted the sub machine gun up to point at the ceiling. Behind her was a bar with several dancers upon it in verious states of dress on them.

There was music pouring from speakers. The club was crowded with people, some people were drinking, others were playing cards with chips on the table. Women and men were both with each other and the same gender as well as aliens. Some of these species had humaniod appearances as well. A few of these figures were wearing hoods. Some were provocativity dressed. It looked like most were here to hook up with someone here. The air smelled of drugs, perfume and cologne and alcohol. Some of these people caught a few of the soldier's eyes with their antics.

“We would like to see your captain? And also to inspect what you are bringing here to our people in the planet's control. We have orders to search your ship. We would like to speak to him,” commander Salenda said as she looked Nicole over, and walked toward her with a.sway of her hips.

Nicole lifted her hand to punch in a code to her captain on an object that looked like a cell phone. She spoke into it, “There are some people are here to see you?”

“I have arranged to do this, take them to me,” capt. Mexus advised over her com.

We marched toward where their captain was. The hallway was wide enough for ten men would march down the hallway with ease. We marched in units of two with my commander in the lead with Nicole. She did not trust her, she could be intending to kill us. She still had on her a sub machine gun. We hit a T junction with a huge identitation in the middle, with a lit panel and something that looked like a face would fit into it. Nicole lifted her right hand up to put it on the panel, and then she put her face into the indentation.

We saw a light appear on this panel and another light appeared in the mask like design. The indentation began to slide upwards. The area had twelve feet across open area. Inside we saw a silver light inside of it. There were five people here, one was standing upright.

“Why have you attacked my ship?” Captain Mexus snarled at the present moment after seeing us arrive there and she pointed her forefinger at us. She was talking to someone on her com. She looked at us as if we were the scum of the earth, her eyes short daggers at us. There was a scowl on her face. Her lips had black lipstick on them, her eyes had purple eye shadow on them, they were turquoise in color. After she brought her hand back to her body. She crossed her arms and rubbed the toe of her shoe on the floor of the bridge. She was facing us as we entered the bridge.

Commander Salenda stared at her, this woman had three inch nails colored red. She was bald and had a network of wires on her head these wires that ran down her neck. She wore a sequenced silver dress with a deep plunging neckline to show off her ample cleavage.

Their chief of the security Nicole had led us here. Nicole put her hand on her submachine gun's handle. The people were frightened upon seeing us here. The personal on the bridge watched as if we were vagrants desiring to steal from them.

There were four armed soldiers there, three were women, one a male holding his sub machine gun at the ready. They looked as if they were not to be toyed with, Their eyes accessed everyone. They were wearing flak jackets. They had brought up their weapons to point at us as we entered into their view of us. They were standing beside the people
occupying the chairs here.

One had a network of electrical lines running from it to her head, there was a band with an inch in width the lines ran into the ceiling she looked at us. But we did not see any pupil there or the cornea of the eye, she had elbow length gloves that were silver in color. She wore a gown of sliver sequines, lips were black as night is dark.

Another had a green dress, that went to the floor. Her hands were upright as she looked at us, her hair was blonde. She was watching our ship, her hands havered above what appeared to be their weapons systems. She looked over at us.

The room was thirty feet across in the middle was a chair where the helmsman sat, he had a hat on his head with several electrical lines attached to it going to the ceiling. Two other women were wearing gold shirts on before them were a panel with knobs on it to turn, There was a women sitting in front of a glass surface with mirrors on it. Their captain was on her feet.

Our Commander Salenda walked with Nicole, the woman we met with at the entrance to a bar here. Nicole was wearing a gold scoop neck shirt, with a thigh length skirt, the boots went to her knees. Her eyes were golden in color, her hair was black with gold highlights in it. In her hands she held a machine pistol, on her belt were gernades. The escort of our guards walked behind them with an escort of their own soldiers there, armed with laser rifles and and daggers. Nicole smiled and winked at the capt. of their ship.

"What is the meaning of this happening to us?" Mexus said as she glanced at the soldiers brought to her bridge. She allowed the coastguards soldiers to walk onto the bridge, the soldiers noted that there were members of the ship So they brought their security unit with us. Their soldiers wore flak jackets, helmets with visors carrying sub machine guns with them. They looked to be soldiers at the moment they were watching our troops as we arrived on the bridge of their ship.

"We had asked you to stop and allow us to board your ship. Did you not hear us say this over your com.," Salenda said as she stepped toward Mexus. She stared at the woman standing there, there was something odd about her appearance.

"We did not hear your call. Your signal was breaking up over the com.," Mexus said glaring at her and the soldiers she brought a board the ship. Mexus was standing upright with her head held high. Back as straight as a board. Confident as could be she stood there looking at us.

"I see?" Salenda said as she tried to figure out what had happened here. She knew that they had covered all the signals boards where radio cons happened. So, they should have heard us as they arrived in our sector, She whispered into her com, praying that the signal could be received on our own ship. I heard the voice over my com. I knew that the captain of the other ship would be upset to have us board her . I am the captain of our ship..

"Why did you fire upon our weapon systems and the drives," Mexus said there were antennaes protruding from her brow as she cleaned her talons watching us with eyes wide.

"We had to stop you from moving any farther into our sector of space," First Lieutenant Solomon said as his eyes narrowed approaching her. His finger was resting on the rifle's trigger, the gun was held at the ready. His barrel was pointed right at Mexus.

"Put down your weapons," Salenda said as she made a motion with her own hands to lower our weapons to have them to be held by the butt of the rifles as she watched the enemy soldiers do like wise.

"We only want to talk to you to see if you are not carrying any contraband," Salenda said as she brought her hand down on Mexus wrist. On her hip rode a laser pistol.

"Sure be my guest. Take all the time you need to explore my ship!" Mexus said, she seemed at ease to allow us to explore this ship.`

She laughed as the coast guards began to walk down the passageway.

####

While we were doing this, another member of their ship silently slipped onto our shuttle craft in the docking berth.

This member was Mayeast who was dressed in full length bodysuit, with a firearm and a dagger on the belt along with a block of explosives that she was wearing. She was tall, her hair was in bob and was red as a rose's petals is. Mayeast moved in silent as a cat arrived. Slipped up the ramp to gain access to our ship. She stole onto floor of the shuttle craft.

The door was open to allow the admittance of the soldiers back to the shuttle craft as she entered she saw to her left were seats and to her right was a door through which she believed the pilot would be.

There was circle with pin in it to keep it attached to the door. She could see the outline of the door, there was rubber barrier between it and the other segment that made up the hull of the shuttle.

So, the pilot Waldof should be safe from the people who boarded the ship. He had an alarm put on the ship to see if anyone had boarded the ship. He knew she was there inside the shuttle, he heard her try the door. It did not open. He thought she would go away.

Mayeast slipped toward the door where Waldof was. She tried the door, it didn't open. She lifted a block of explosives to put to the door. She stepped aside, and let the explosion rip through the door. She avoided the resulting debris that was flying from there toward the seats where the occupants would sit. It would no doubt kill whoever did this. If they hadn't thought to leave the shuttle as it went off there.

Waldof was wearing a flight jacket, and helmet which were bullet-proof. He lumbered to his feet and stepped to the right. The explosion was directed to the middle of the helm. The G stick and the windshield took quite a bit of damage from this. He reached for his belt to pull out a laser pistol. He stood there pointing at his pistol at the open door way to the cabin.

Mayeast began to step into the cabin. She saw the face of the pilot who was wearing a respirator, with a helmet on his head. The pilot lifted his weapon up to fire at her. She reached up on the frame of the door. She swung forward driving her feet into his stomach. He fired his pistol. He wanted to kill the woman who breached the shuttle’s door. He had removed his respirator from his mouth.

The laser beam cut into her arm. She lost her balance and fell onto her back. The arm was with the humorous bone was cut in half. The rest of her arm hung from the frames brace. Waldof was aware of what he was doing. He fell backwards back into the helm, Waldof lifted his wrist up to his mouth, he whistled.
####

I heard this through the com on board our coastguard spaceship. Something was a miss. I looked at my com who looked at her holding up one hand above his head. He knew what was the danger that we faced upon going onto the other ship. She did not know who signaled us.

####

Our soldiers began to run back toward where our commander was on this ship's bridge. Weapons held at the ready, we brought our visors down. So there would be no way to lose our concentration of what we were doing, The helmet showed where the heat was on another body. It seemed odd that the crew of this ship. Didn't have any indicators where their heart and internal organs were. The heat was coming from where the blood vessels would be on a human body, but not on the major organs, it did not make sense, that these organs were not visible through their visors.

The enemy had begun to step out of our path as we hurled ourselves back to their bridge. Some of them had their eyes opened wide in alarm, as was their mouths. Some of them followed them back to where they were headed toward the bridge. The enemy stayed out of our path. They simply watched us race to where we had come from on the bridge.

"What is the meaning of this?", Mexus asked as she saw our soldiers return to where the bridge was. Mexus' troops had left the bridge we believed that they had gone to where they were supposed to be when not in danger.

####

Mayeast fighting Waldof, she was growing fatigued. She faltered and fell. Her head banged into the aisle seat. She swung her legs to the floor, and regained her footing. She threw a desperate heavy right at him, he caught on the head. He tasted his blood as it trickled down into his mouth. He began to grow more upset at her, he wanted her to die.

When he had got the air into his lungs, she had climbed back to her feet. She drove her shoulder into his chest. He was driven back to the helm. He hit her in the back with his fist. She drew a dagger from her belt as they rose back to their full height; he drew his own dagger to protect himself from her knife.

He turned and hurled his boot into her guts, as he whipped the dagger toward where she was standing. It caught her in the shoulder, she whirled about, bringing her hand up to her shoulder to remove the dagger from it. Her hand was covered in blood, running between her fingers and palm. Dodging her boot as it flew toward his head.

As the woman got back to her feet. Blood was pouring from her arm. Her head fell to her chest, she lifted her head to see him there. She brought her hand down to draw her pistol, but she saw his hand coming toward her. She fired the pistol into his chest.

Waldof began to drive his opposing hand toward her again. She swung her left into his shoulder to drive him backwards. He stumbled back as he stood there. His armor was black as soot, there was a hole in his chest's armor, it wasn't large. He tried to regain his hand from where she was holding it and began to walk toward her.

Waldof hurled his right at her. Caught her in the chest. Her mouth opened as the blow came. She fell onto her back. Waldof hammered her in the head with his heavy right. Her head snapped back. Blood ran from her mouth.

####

"Where to?" , Jacks asked. Salenda shot him a smile.

"Shuttle craft! Someone has attempted to commandeer it!" Salenda stated.

The troops raced off down the passageway to regain their ship. The other personal on the ship watched them barrel down the passage way. When we arrived Waldof looked at us. His eyes were wide in amazement.

Nicole joined us in this run to the shuttle craft. When she arrived there she saw what had happened to her soldier whom Waldof stopped and asked, "Why have you done this to her?"

"Because she was resisting arrest, and tried to kill me!" ,Waldof said as he walked toward Mayeast laying on her back. Blood was pooling beside her ribs.

"I had to use force to stop her. Didn't you know this was happening?" ,Waldof said as he was helped to his feet.
####

Waldof carried the felon with them to the brig. Salenda glared at Mayeast as she hung from Waldof's huge hand about her collar. He shook like a shifter in the hands of a baker to make it pure.

"Why did it have to happen?", Salenda asked watching Mexus as she blanched. She grit her teeth.

"I asked a question, I would like an answer from you?" Salenda declared as she waved her pistol towards her.

"Well?" Mexus answered as she tried to find an answer that would not incriminate her or her crew. She thought quite a few minutes and still hadn't answered the question. She looked at Mayeast with disdane on her face.

"Who had advised her to gain entry to our shuttle?“, Soloman asked as he closed the gap between him and her, he was now in reaching distance to hit her with his heavy right hand using a haymaker fist on her.

\“You did not appear to be surprised finding her here?” Salenda said as she looked into the face of Mexus.”How did you know this was happening? Did you send her there?”

” You knew she would do this? Didn't you," Soloman inquired as he watched as Waldof put cuffs on her wrists.

"If you would like, you will be under arrest as well," Second Lieutenant Jacks said as he watched her.

"What has happened? I heard the alarm signal being sent to us all! Who did this?" I said over the com.

"Its been taken care of. Capt. Waldof was trying to protect the ship from one of Mexus' troops. She's under arrest. We will bring her to the brig of our ship," Salenda said over the com.

"That's a relief!", I said as I looked over at her gunner staring that the spaceship in question. She brought the targetting system to point over the command bridge. Finger poised to fire the armaments that they have available at the moment.
