Excerpt
The holo was still trying to piece it together as Lathkapan turned back to the viewport, and felt his own mouth fall open. He could see the newest addition to the unidentified flotilla. The ships were still many kilometers away, the pickets nothing more than pinpricks of light that might have been stars, but he could see this new warship. Thoroughly startled, he whirled around in time to find the holo giving a size comparison, though it was having difficulty outlining the hull of the new ship.

The triangular destroyer was not even a quarter its size.

"Pull back," Lathkapan commanded, his eyes wide now, but the clamor on the bridge as crewers spoke to one another was too loud.

"PULL BACK!" he shrieked, and several of the crew turned to stare. Struggling to maintain his composure, the captain reasoned, "We have to fall back within the range of the guardian moons! Do it!"

The silence that followed his commands was deafening, crew members typing input but glancing at him uneasily; Lathkapan could see their confidence plummeting. In the quiet, the comm tech's voice made several jump. "Sir…the hailing frequency…"

"I don't think we need to worry about battle warnings now," Lathkapan replied with a slightly hysterical chuckle. "There's no precedent for this!"

"No sir," the younger Exoi corrected. He looked at his panel as if it might bite him, then all four eyes turned back up. "They're hailing us."
