"AHH"

A silhouetted figure draped in a dark blue light shot upward. "Oh...good. Just a bad dream." He looked around the dorm, seeing no one else was there but him. He listened to the time. '2:43 AM Neo Earth time; 15:98 GSC (General Space Continum) Space time'. The clock read aloud. He layed back down. "Computer, do an area scan for pirates or other Rebellion members."

The computer responded, "Scanning... Scan complete. No pirate ships seen; Two Rebellion ships spotted, 225.68 meters away. They are stationary, but be cautious." The figure sat up and got out of bed. "Thank you Computer."

"Always at your service, Captain Renjo Ferron."

After getting dressed, Renjo exited the room , and headed to the Bridge of his ship, The Bermuda.

"Hey! The Captain is awake!" Deannes, one of the crew members, pointed out.

The crewmates welcomed Renjo on the bridge as he took his seat. "Hey babe. I hope you had a good sleep." The Bermuda's first mate, and Renjo's girlfriend, Fiennes, said concerning like.

"I slept fine, but I was woken up from a bad dream."

She raised an eyebrow. "Tell me about it." He proceeded to tell her the dream.

"I stood in space, watching a planet be destroyed. But it was like I was really there. I felt the heat and some debris hit my face. Then I teleported to the outside of our ship, but half was missing. And a Rebellion ship docked onto us and delivered their crew. I was then in the ship, watching you all moving with your stuff. Then I saw me. Standing still, gawking at the blankest of space, crying. Then, Then I woke up. I cant make it out. What does it mean!?"

He looked at her blankly for an answer, but nothing came.

"Baby, I dont know. Im sorry I cant help." Fiennes sadly responded.

Renjo sat in silence as he knew that the rest of the crew heard him.

Alarms on the Console screens started going off.

Daryn, another crew member, looked at the screen. "Uhh, Captain, we have a problem. Neo Earth just exploded."

"What? That- that's impossible! By what means?"

"Oh my god." Daryn turned. "Core Failure."

Reality smacked Renjo in the face hardcore. His face showed it. "That wasnt a dream... Oh no." His eyes widened. "Put shields up. Now! Max power!"

The crew rushed to put up shields, but it was too late. The two Rebellion ships attacked the ship, damaging the shield generator, and power generators.

"We lost all power Captain! Green, turn on the-" The ships attacked agian, this time destroying all power supplies. Daryn slowed his talking. "The back up generators..." He sighed. "Screw it! We're dead! I give up!" More explosions rocked the ship.

After a long time of thinking, Renjo finally gave another order. "Guys, lock down the ship. Close all doors and the cargo bay. You're going to have to do it all manually. Then, open up the comms for broadcast. I'm going to contact these Rebellion members."

My crew did as he told, then another explosion ruptured the ship, putting a crack in the side of the A.I. control room.

"Captain, there is a crack in my side. Help me-eeeeeeeee; System reboot activated.... Error. System reboot restarted... Error. System wipe activated.... E-e-e-e-e-e-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r." The sound of a dying generator echoed the ship. Everything turned dark.

"Well, we are not going anywhere now. Orders Capt-" The crack through the hull ripped the ship in half sucking all available air from the split rooms, and jettisoned the other end away, rocking the ship. "AHHHHHH! WELL I'M GOING TO BE FREAKIN' DEAD. SCREW THIS. I'M JUST GONNA TAKE A SPACE SUIT, WALK OUT THERE, SIT AND FLOAT I-... The suits were on the other side of the ship were they?" Deannes sat down in his chair, pondering about what will happen. "Great."

"Everyone, I don't think we're getting out of this alive. We're gonna have to make what we can as a weapon." Fiennes commanded. "Tear up the consoles. Make a weapon. We are gonna fight those Rebellion members."
