The Time of Truth

[Rubber_Duck]

Commodore Finlay O'Dukes was sitting in his command chair, on the bridge of the HMS-Conqueror.

The intercom beeped.

"Sir? We have an incoming message, high priority" the comm officer turned to O'Dukes. "It's adressed to you, personally, Sir."

"Let me see, comander." Finlay answered. He took a look on the message, it was a carbon copy, directed to him by the admiralty. "Dr. Collins ..." he mumbled. "I just heard rumours of what he was doing. Could be worth to have a look upon." He turned to the navigational officer. "Lieutenant, set coruse to Salisbury. Maximum impulse, I want to have a look what's up there."

The Conqueror began to move.
