Alot was going though Rangers head. "Why me? How come i am doing it?" Andrew stands up and walks slowly over to the curtains where he draws them slowly. He heads back to his seat, but he does not sit down. He paces up and down, slowly. Ranger starts to become slightly stressed, so he breaks the silence and opens his mouth. "So, what's this all about? Why me? Why can't you do this yourself?" Astraea quickly stands up and shuts ranger up. "Ranger, open the document and you will find out. Read though it and then we will give you the greater details" calmly said Astraea. Ranger hesitantly starts to read the documents slowly. He sees pictures of vessels and maps of systems.

He starts to ponder and carries on reading. As he is reading, one member of the command stands up and begins to speak, looking around to make sure that no one is listening in.
