It was late at night, and 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." Arthur muttered.
"Get ready to beam to the Enterprise." Said Arthur over the intercom at the HQ

The Alpha Echo Team quickly got into uniform. They then got beamed directly to the bridge of the Alpha Echo Enterprise.

"Evan, you're on navigation, Jas, you're at the helm, Sam, you're at tactical, and Maria and Hellen get ready to give damage reports on the ship and the crew." Yelled Arthur

The crew got into place, and the phasers and photon torpedoes were ready 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?" Said Arthur
"Some of your cargo." Said Vindath
"Which piece of cargo?" Asked Arthur
"I was thinking... some of your Drarium." 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 Arthur
"Ok." Said Vindath

After 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." Said Arthur
"Lock on to Yevell ships and open fire." Said Arthur

There was an all-out 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, they knew they had to get to safety fast.

"Lay in a course for the Earth Space Docks at Warp factor Forty." Said Arthur
"Engage." Said Arthur

They got to Earth fast, and they had the ship serviced and repaired after the fight.

"That. Was. Intense." Said Evan
"You better get used to it as that's most likely going to happen more often." Said Arthur

"Right, let's get back to the HQ and back to sleep." Said Arthur
"Agreed." Said the crew
