(Prendel 3 colony command centre) alarms were blaring all over the place "they're getting closer sir" an ensign said "darn those machines didn't the perimeter minefield take care of them?" his CO replied "no they're advancing pretty quickly nothing seems capable of stopping them" "how long?" "they'll be able to land in around 30 hours sir" "whats the closest starship to our location?" "the USS Firebreather is around 24 hours away if they come at maximum speed" "send them a message detailing the situation" "aye sir" the ensign pressed a few buttons and the message was away (1 hour later)
