[Lieutenant]

/Broken-Hammer receiving Order-flagged signal, priority one.
/Alerting Captain. . .

The implants in his body stirred and buzzed a soft stimulant into his bloodstream, and his eyes snapped open. Izii couldn't leap out of his bed any faster, donning his uniform and heavy coat, he would make his way to the bridge as the message played for the last time. He looked over the gaseous nebula the pilot was in, and the reading of the object he was nearing.

"Tag the signal, and keep it tracked as long as you can, if we lose it we'll not get a second chance to gain it unless we're damned lucky." He focused on the Nomad hive, he'd seen them before, long ago before he'd even joined the Zoner Guard, memories of a failed recon mission still lingered.

"Signal's locked in captain, we can track it more easily if we can get near Toledo. Will we be assisting the Order in a search and rescue?" The comms officer worked away at his console, not bothering to look back at Captain Izii as he asked.

"Only if they'll allow it, or condone it, otherwise move us to Toledo and get the Lieutenant and his men ready for possible boarding action. We are headed into a hot zone." The ship's lights flickered as it quivered just slightly, the cruise engines priming and charged to maximum as asteroids bounced off the Hammer's shield like a hailstorm of BB's pellets on a raging freight train.

/Tracking signal. . . Increasing stimulant mixture to Captain neurocyte.

My honest reaction upon reading the forums, whenever I rarely do. Joe Kucan, he's the man.
