Deadly Space

Chapter 7: The Dawn Of War

"Captain, someone is trying to enter our ship forcefully. Saying something about Ferron and the Alliance." Green announced from the entrance of the ship, below deck.

"What's their authority?" Fiennes yelled from the bridge, while the window was being repaired.

"My authority is Captain of the Monstrosity." A voice spoke, close to Fiennes' personal bubble. She turned around quickly to find Captain Lan-ka standing in the doorway of the bridge. "May I speak to Mr. Ferron please?" He asked politely.

Fiennes looked him up and down, scanning his tall and slim shape, standing with much authority. His Asian complexion stood out the most, with his black hair swooped up, and his brown eyes glistening in the artificial light, smiling at her. She nodded her head. "Yeah, sure. He's in his room."

"Thank you."

There was a knock on Renjo's door, and it opened ever so slightly. "Ferron? You there?" Lan-ka asked.

"Yeah, who is it?"

"Captain Lan-ka of the Monstrosity. I have came to speak to you about our deal."

"Alright, you can come in." Lan-ka walked inside, sliding the door into the wall. "What's up?"

"It's an honor to finally meet you in person. The Alliance would like you to provide defenses, as we have seen as you have a Rebellion class E-225 whi-"

"Style B. And its called the Aimox." I interrupted.

He continued. "Y-yes, which we both know is a Clipper based on the Federation class one, but is faster in speed, and the strongest in firepower and defense."

"Okay so it's a clipper. What of it?"

"We have an Alliance commander here at the station who wants to discuss your ship and its crew. Would you like to meet them?"

"Yeah, sure. Where is he?"

"She. The commander is a woman. She is at dock 42. Ill direct you there."

Renjo got up, and Lan-ka gestured for him to go out first. We arrived at the ship's entrance, under the bridge. Green was guarding the entrance, and as we walked out, he eyed Lan-ka with attitude, mentally warning him to not get in his way again. He grabbed Renjo's arm, placing something in his hand. "Take this. It's a communicator. If something happens, Ill call you up." Renjo nodded, placed the small piece of technology in his pocket, and walked off the ramp.

Renjo looked out at the station, and stared at its magnificence. He knew Romero Orbital's fame came from its location, and that its the oldest, largest, and most technologically advanced thing made by humans. It was relaxing to look out the windows and stare into its connected ring, circling with the station to keep gravity.

"So Renjo, tell me; Do you have programmed emotions? Or something along those lines? Oh, What about your A.I? How much power does it consume?" Lan-ka began, bombarding questions left and right.

"Wow, that's a mouth full. Uh, most of my emotions are part human brain. Its the original brain from my past body. As for my A.I., its one of the most advanced one in the known universe. As for power, I consume about 200 volts. Can we just focus on what we're doing rather than myself?" Renjo replied.

"Right, of course. I apologize for my intrusion of privacy. Oh look, here we are; Dock 42. The commander is waiting inside her ship." Lan-ka stuck out his hand. "It was great conversing with you." Renjo stuck out his and shook with confidence.

"No problem." Renjo turned and walked into the Commander's ship, directed by a guard towards the Commander's meeting room, which was quite exquisite. He walked in, greeted by a voice.
