An hour later, without a single word spoken on the cockpit in that time, the Rose emerged from the jump tunnel with a slight shudder. Balara, with its swirling orange and red clouds covering most of the major landmasses, was directly in front of them.

“Jump drive disengaged,” Alasdair confirmed as he leaned back in his chair.

Kristin nodded. “Open a communication channel to the port authority. Request landing instructions and—” her sentence was cut off when the Rose suddenly rocked to the left, almost tossing them from their seats in the process.

“Bloody hell!” Alasdair shouted as both he and Kristin fought to right the ship. “There’s an attack vessel closing in on us!” he shouted as he peered into the short-range sensors. “They’re firing!”

Mia noted the comm light blinking between the two pilots. “Communication coming in.”

“Let’s hear it,” Kristin said as she pulled the Rose into a hard turn to avoid another laser volley.

Alasdair opened the channel and was immediately greeted with a commanding voice.

“Repeat: This is Balara Orbital Patrol ship Zed-Three-Five-Six. Stand down and prepare to be boarded. We will not make this request a second time. Acknowledge.”
