Decimation
“There are three
destroyers in orbit around the inner planet. Once we leave orbit, they
will take several minutes to get here. We should have enough time to attack
the incoming convoy before they arrive. The remaining Federation ships
are not within scanning distance. “ The science officer looked confident.
Admiral Krelk decided to make him less confident.
“How long would it take for Federation re-enforcements
to reach us if they were just at the edge of sensor range?” Krelk
smiled at the sudden nervous look on the science officer face. The officer
looked quickly at his controls, making rapid calculations. Yet it was
the navigator who spoke first.
“My lord, the Federation convoy is nearly within full
sensor range. The gas giant will not hide us much longer.” Krelk’s
eyes narrowed as the science officers eyes grew large. It was a report
that he should have come from him, not the navigator.
“Proceed with the attack,” the Admiral ordered,
never once taking his eyes off the science officer. “Make sure I
have plenty of warning about those Federation re-enforcements. I’d
hate to have to kill you before your first battle is over.”
The science officer swallowed hard and tried to watch several
sensor screens at once. He knew the Admiral was as good as his word. He
could hear several bridge officers chuckle as the ship surged toward the
convoy.
