It was late at night and the faint glow of the moonlight was shining through the windows of the HQ. The Alpha Echo Team was getting ready for bed when suddenly Arthur's com badge went off. It was the 2nd Captain of the Alpha Echo Enterprise, Captain Martinel.
"Captain, we're surrounded by Yevell Warbirds." Said Captain Martinel
"Fuck." Muttered Arthur
"Is it him?" Arthur asked Captain Martinel
"Negative." Said Captain Martinel
"Copy." Said Arthur
"Get ready to beam to the Enterprise." Said Arthur over the intercom at the HQThe team raced to the locker room and scrambled into uniform and raced to the transport room ready to beam up. And as the team stepped onto the transport pad they were beamed onto the Alpha Echo Enterprise.
"Evan, you're on navigation; Jas, you're at the helm; Sam, you go and help Lieutenant Colin Miller at tactical; Maria and Helen get ready to provide damage reports on the ship and the crew." Yelled Arthur
The crew got into their places. Colin and Sam readied the Phasers and Photon Torpedoes to fire when suddenly...
"Captain, the Yevell's are hailing us." Said Sam
"On screen." Said Arthur, confused
"Hello, I am Alpha Echo One, Captain of the Alpha Echo Enterprise." They said to the Yevell's
"I am Vindath, Captain of the I.R.W. Albius." He said
"What do you want?" Asked Arthur
"Some of your cargo." Said Vindath
"Which piece of cargo?" Asked Arthur
"I was thinking... some of your Dararium." Said Vindath
"How much of it; and for what price?" Said Arthur
"One third of it, and as for the price... I was thinking it would be you not dying." Said Vindath
"Let me speak to my crew and I'll get back to you." Said ArthurAfter a lengthy discussion with the crew and discovering that it is going to a colony of people who desperately need it, they have decided that they could defeat all the Yevell ships with minimum damage so that's what they decide to do.
"Go to Red Alert!" Shouted Arthur
"Lock on to Yevell ships and open fire." Said ArthurThere was an all-out fire-fight between the Alpha Echo Enterprise and 10 Yevell Warbirds. The Enterprise suffered multiple shots, and decks 23-43 were heavily damaged.
After the Warbirds were all destroyed, the team knew they had to get to safety fast.
"Lay in a course for the Earth Space Docks at Warp Factor Forty." Said Arthur
"Engage." They addedThe team got to Earth after a few minutes; they had the ship serviced and repaired after the fire-fight.
"That. Was. Intense." Said Evan between breaths
"You better get used to it as that's most likely going to happen more often." Said Arthur
"Right, let's get back to Headquarters and back to sleep." Said Arthur
"Agreed." Said the crew
