Lieutenant Rimmings shook her head in confusion.

Ugh, Men. They have no place in command of a ship.

A look of dubiousness crossed her face as one of the technicians began running his name through their databases. While she looked, Rimmings continued to talk.

"Lupercus Darksword has been running from every law organisation in the galaxy for over 4 years now. He has been outside of the Cluster ever since."

The technician nodded. He was truly a member of the Royal Navy.

"Right, your identity has been confirmed. Maintain current heading and make for a position 3 klics off Gallinores naval depot. Then get to the surface. You need a breifing."

Without any warning, she then shut the communication off.

"Recall the fighters. Congratulate them on a nice scramble, but abort the strike."

She shook her head as she made her way back off duty.

Men!

'4 minutes to drop out at Gallinore'

The voice of the announcment system on Hapan battleships was, indeed, an annoying one. Kamon snapped himself out of his objections to the irrelevent elements and stood up and headed over to the row of tactical officers lined up with their consoles infront of them.

'3 minutes to drop out at Gallinore'

Kamon stopped by one of the officers, raising his voice to the whole row.

'I want a full scan of ships and the surface once we arrive at Gallinore. Any Swarm activity, no matter how big or small, alert me'

The officers acknowledged in succesion then prepared for the task at hand. Kamon looked out of the viewport of the Command Deck, staring at the vortex of hyperspace as if to throw a challenging stare at an enemy. At this moment in time, there was no way to be certain you were safe.

'2 minutes to drop out at Gallinore'

Kamon walked into the centre of the Command Deck and raised his voice.

'I want all defense systems fully operational and loaded by the time we drop out at Gallinore, understood?'

The officers all nodded and agreed to his request.

'Well what can I say? Hope we dont have a burnout'

'1 minute to drop out at Gallinore'

Kamon readied himself.

'Battle Stations'

Red lights flickered around the Command Deck, turning his skin into pale red sweeps. The ship pulled out of hyperspace at Gallinore noticing that the other 2 cruisers had dropped out in front in a defensive formation.

'Report!'

'Theres a Hapan Battle Dragon in orbit around Gallinore. There are no other ships in the space region of Gallinore though there is a shuttle just breaking through the inner atmospherical ring'

Kamon nodded slowly.

'Get me the Captain of the Battle Dragon'

The viewport flickered into a holographic projection of a man with the Commander uniform.

'This is Kamon Shaddaa of the leading Hapan Nova-Class Cruiser. I asked for the Captain, not the Commander'

The holographic image stood at attention, his hands behind his back.

'The Captain is currently on his way to a debriefing on Gallinore. I have taken temporary command of the Battle Dragon until the Captain returns'

Kamon nodded.

'Who is the Captain?'

'Captain Dante Leonheart'

Kamon heard the name before, Dante had joined just before he did.

'Understood'

The image faded. Kamon turned around to the communications officer.

'Ready my shuttle and ask for pre-docking clearance at the Military Relations building on Gallinore. Kamon Shaddaa is asking'

'At once, sir'

Kamon headed down to the docking bay, sweeping his gaze at the readied fighters that sat waiting for use in the bay. In the centre was his own ship.

Never get tired of flying her

The modified Mynock-Class Assault/Transport boat sat waiting. Kamon walked up the boarding ramp and headed into the cockpit, bringing up the boarding ramp and started the launching sequence.

'Bring down the bay shield and clear the docking bay'

The shields came down and the throttle went up, the Mynock-Class heading out and down towards Gallinore.

Dante acknowledged the clearance and headed down towards the planet's surface to report in with his fellow Hapes members.Dante landed at the selected co-ordinates and looked around the place before getting out of his cockpit to head towards Commodore Dimitri.

He saw that it was guarded well and was satisfied and with that headed to towards Commodore Dimitri Kashlinkov.Every single soldier was staring at him like he was some sort of disease, not worth having in the Hapes community but Dante tried to take no notice and headed towards Commodore Dimitri Kashlinkov.

"Commodore Dimitri Kashlinkov, i am sorry with the mix up whilst entering the planets atmosphere, i would be grateful if you could accept this apology" said Dante.
