Dan walked onto his bridge after taking a nap and showering. He also had a snack, which consisted of Rhino Meat's summer sausage line - no Nutri-Slushi's for him, he couldn't tolerate the stuff. In the six hours he was away, Amaya had reported that everything was set for their incursion into the Beta Sector. His entire crew was there: Belladi - who was actually wearing decent clothing and not some skimpy outfit; Twang - who had never left; Too'Zer - wearing his battle armor, weapons belts, and carrying his large rifle; Watts - who was furiously tapping on his multiple consoles; and Bort and Dort - each carrying their salvaging equipment harnesses. Even his extended crew was there: Space Admiral and now First Officer Amaya stood next to his chair - wearing a crisp UPA uniform (god only knows where she got a crisp uniform) with body armor and carrying her UPA issued pistol; and Lieutenant Melton, standing beside Watts - he was only wearing his normal UPA uniform. It was a rare site to have any UPA on his bridge, let alone the Space Admiral.

"Crew of the Heatseeker," Dan started as he came to stand behind his chair. "We're about to do something we don't normally do. We're about to save the UPA from a madman." He looked at Amaya and she smiled and nodded to him. "We're going to do a three-fold attack. Twang will use a burst from the new engine to give us a push towards the station. To Kirk, it'll look like we're just drifting towards the station. He'll undoubtedly attempt to connect to us and move us out of the path of Beta's station. When that fails, he'll attempt to shoot us down. When we're fifty kilometers from BES1, Too'Zer will fire the missile that's loaded with a virus that should shut down Beta's defenses. Kirk will attempt to move another ship in it's path, which will give us time to put the new engine at full and attempt to board the station. I'll be the first on the station with Too'Zer, and we'll attempt to take out Kirk. Failing that, Bort and Dort will take down the generators."

"And salvage on our way back, Captain?" Bort asked, with a smile and a lot of nods from Dort.

"Not this time. Take out the power to the stations then make your way back to the Heatseeker." Dan told them.

"Awwww." Dort said.

"I'm sure we'll be well compensated for helping the UPA." Dan told them, which cheered them up immensely.

"And what am I, Watts, Belladi, and the Space Admiral to do?" Lieutenant Melton asked.

"You and Watts will be in the engine room making sure we can get the hell out of here if we fail. Amaya will be in command of the ship in my absence, and Belladi will back her up with anything she needs." Dan told them.

"I should be coming with you." Amaya told him. "You may need my codes."

"We already have them.
