Fain didn’t expect to see a large alien fleet positioned near the ISCO. He expected maybe a dozen ships, but hundreds was pushing it. When he saw the large fleet on the main screen of the bridge, marked as squares, he slowed Sodenia’s approach. According to the main screen counter, there were a total of 175 ships.

For a second he thought they might be heading into a trap, but then he thought better. It would be a pretty crappy trap if it turned out to be one. The fleet of alien ships was not in defense or attack formation; they were just lined up in rows, one behind the other.

“Shields up,” Fain said from the center console of the bridge. “Weapons hot. Eora, I want you to identify any possible threat. If you find any, let me know.”

“Yes, Captain,” Eora said through the coms.

A few minutes later Fain stationed Sodenia within fifty miles of the ISCO, as close as he could without causing some serious disruption to the station’s communication and gravity instruments.

“Eora, did you find anything?” Fain asked, pressing the button that allowed him to communicate with the weapons bay from the center console.

“No, not at all,” Eora said. “Their weapons are not even hot, and their shields are down. If you wanted to take out an alien fleet with little effort, now is your chance.”

“Alright, suit up,” Fain said. “Bring two of your best with you. Give instructions to keep our weapons pointed at them and inform us if the situation changes. Meet us at the docks in five.”

Fain walked away from the center console and looked around the room, deciding who to choose for an away team.

“August, she’s all yours,” Fain said. “Larissa, keep an eye on August, will you?”

“Hey,” August complained.

“Yes, that shouldn’t be a problem,” Larissa said as she nodded, looking at August with a smirk.

“I’ll have Mikey establish a direct feed to the bridge,” Fain said. “I might need everyone’s help on this one. Pycca, Kya, let’s suit up; you’re coming with me.”

Pycca stood from her station and walked towards Fain. Kya did the same, and the group began walking towards one of the bridge’s doors.

“August,” Fain said as he opened the door without looking back at the bridge. “Don’t let them shoot us down.”

They called a pod, and the group of three headed straight for the docks, where Eora and her team of two were already waiting for them. An Anvelin with a large but still mobile closet attached to it was there, with fitted spacesuits waiting for them. The mobile closet was complete with small changing rooms and an area to hang their own clothes.

“Let’s get these on,” Fain said. “We need to hurry up and help Mikey. I’m starting to get a weird feeling about this.”

“Me too,” Pycca said as she went into one of the changing rooms.

“Captain,” Eora asked from outside the changing room. “I wasn’t sure if this was a weapons kind of mission or not, but I brought them anyway.
