"Sir! A transmission from the ANS Yellowstone! It contains our call tag."
Null took a deep breath and punched in the comm button. "Play the transmission."

Pressing the relay button, Valorian sends his reply. "Negative Yellowstone. That is a Negative. This is the ANS-CA Penumbra calling out to all flagged ANS ships. I have a separate mission on Luna and I cannot provide my direct support. A comm buoy is now online through my ship. I am descending to the moon's surface to provide extraction to key members of the Alliance military. Upon landing I will Install another buoy to allow for communication between the fleet and the marines and civilians below. But I need all of you to prevent any orbital strike, or drop teams. I have a crew of nine, not an army and am not equipped to take on any significant force. Are any of the ships in orbit capable of teleport receipt? I will construct an extraction teleport for the stranded marines and civvies at 123-7, 23-9. If you can lock on to its signal we can get these men and women out of here alot faster. This is the ANS-CA Penumbra. Over and out."

"Captain, we are nearing our destination."
"Thank you Mila. Prep my away-equipment."
