Death Runner looked up from his terminal and nodded.
"Sir it's on the terminal.."
The captain scooted his wheelchair back a bit, and the guard came forth and quickly brought up Smeagle's transmission along with the responses. Death Runner leaned back in his chair, pondering on the situation at hand.
"Hmm.. That.. That Rika child is a captain? Of an Order vessel?"
"I don't know entirely sir. I did some research though. I know she's family with powerful Order captains."
"Mhmm.. Reckless children with capitol ships? Not good. I want every man on this ship prepared for battle, experiments two and three released, and the science division logs sent back to Malta.. If worse comes to worse, and they really do show up here in Outcast space.. Well, heh. They'd be in just as much trouble as us. The whole damn outcast fleet would be launched."
"Sir.. We've drifted too far for any backup to arrive on time if we were to encounter a superior Order Capitol Class Vessel."
"What?! WHAT?!"
Death Runner stared angrily at the guard, immediately striking fear into his eyes.
"Damnit.. Next time.. NEXT TIME THIS HAPPENS YOU WILL BE OUR NEXT EXPERIMENT! IS THIS UNDERSTOOD?!"
"EEK! Yes Sir!"
The guard quickly saluted then ran out of the captain's office.
Death Runner glanced back at the terminal and let out a long sigh.
"Heh.. Smeagle.. Smeagle.. Smeagle. Persistent little bastard aren't you?"
