"This is Captain Nostros of the Terrellian Fleet, guardian of the Cardoulian sector. State you purpose Captain Nakiso, you linger on our borders Sir."
Nostros laughed. "Good sir you cannot be serious... " He noticed the serious look in the Battain's face. "No... It cannot be true? You borders were impervious a hundred years ago last I knew. How strong has their reach grown indeed to stand head over the Battain Empire?"
"Sir." Kasha whispered over Nostros' shoulder. He stretched his ear over to her. "We can confirm a distress signal, it is weak but it registers the attack on their home world."
Nostros stared at the com for a brief moment. "Come Captain dock with the ship, You are to come to Terrellia and report to our King. Our borders are secure enough, and we have no quarrel with the Battain."
Nostros had Krits take Nakiso to the guest quarters. Nostros returned to the bridge, where he studied as much of the updated data as he could. Krits returned shortly, and while glancing at Captain Nostros, shrugged his shoulders. Krits had a way of reading people, it was a gift.
Nostros had hoped to get a little more information about Nakiso… He was suspicious that perhaps the Captain was hiding something. Perhaps he was a traitor who shut down the defenses that allowed the Drex into the Battain fortress? Perhaps it was all a lie, some tactic to deceive the Terrellians. But… then again why? The Battain were always a proud people, not prone to betray their own kind or those who were allies. True the Terrellians had no current alliances with them, but had always been a friendly neighboring empire.
Nakiso rubbed his forehead, his blue gem glowed bright enough to see in the fully lit room when he was frustrated. It was always a handy warning sign to the crew to give the Captain his space. “How long until we arrive?”
“2 days Sir,” Kasha leaned back in her chair.
“Everyone keep your ears and eyes open and alert, I don’t want a single space speck floating by without being noticed. I want every transmission intercepted and analyzed.”
“Yes Captain.” Kasha and the rest of the bridge crew acknowledged.
