Guess who's coming to dinner?

[DBoy1612]

Hoff sat back in his seat on board the Kemosiri impatiently waiting for the Xenos reply about the cell. He started pacing around his office, trying to distract himself with other form of work, even loading up old battlereports to keep himself distracted. But nothing could get his mind off of this, this issue was far to big to just ignore and store to the back of his mind. Even when trying to distract himself, he'd open the attachment files on the cells prints and schematics over and over again, looking for anything he may of missed, looking for any mistake that may of been made, but no, it was all the same as before.

It had been hours since the transmission to the Xenos had been made, still no contact had been made, no transmissions, no messages, nothing. Just the sense of fear that Liberty may once again be under a new infestation was the only thing on his mind.

A slam on his door made him jump, one of his Lieutenants was standing in the doorway.

"Admiral Hoff, sir! The transmission from the Xenos has just come in on the Admiralty channels."

"Show me, Lieutenant, and make it quick!"

Both of them ran to the command deck of the Kemosiri, where the face of a Xeno was on the main screen.

"Play it over."

Hoff listened to the transmission over and over again, making to sure to remember every last word. The Xenos had agreed to giving them the cell, and it had to be removed from their care quickly.

"Lieutenant Commander! Connect to Reliance's live comms quickly! There isn't time to lose."

"Yes, sir! Connecting now."

The screen infront of them went black, three white dots in the bottom right corner going on and off as it connected to the Reliances' comms. The screen lit up and Sius' was there.

"Sius! Get the Reliance ready for long distance travel, you now have orders to go and retrieve that cell from the Xenos in Colorado. Avoid Liberties annoying 'Zone 21' and take the route through Kusari. And do it quickly, were still unsure on what this cell is capable of."

"Yes sir, Admiral! On it."

The screen went black again, the Reliance seen outside the Kemosiri's viewing windows preparing it's course to the Unknown jumphole. Time was running thin...
