-The Fading Light- >>> Location Proxima Centauri >>> Patrolling for smugglers/pirates It had been very slim pickings as the only contraband that they caught and seized was from freighter caring stolen alcohol. It had been weeks since that incident and the crew was tired of doing unimportant missions. However the captain didn't seem to share the feeling of boredom with her crew as she sat in her captains chair bright and cheery as ever humming a little tune that she had started a least two hours ago. Tel didn't stop until one of her officers handed her a pad with a Level Five encrypted communication. Quickly accessing the message she read though it knowing that whatever its contents were it was sure to be exciting. It was more than Tel could have hoped for as she finished reading the message "Plot a course for the Scol system best possible speed and have the ship cease all out going messages". "Yes ma'am" the crew said with slight sigh of relief glad that they were on the move and more than likely glad that Tel had stopped her out of tune humming. "Comms patch me though to the crew" the comm officer responded quickly flipping a few switches before giving tell the thumps up to proceed. Tel's face went completely serious knowing that being apart of this new Sigma Fleet was nothing to joke about. This was as humans say the big leagues "This is the captain we have gone radio silent as we will be meeting up with several ships to form a new covert fleet. Anything from that happens on this ship from this moment on is to be kept secret until further notice. All mail coming in or out will now be checked, any mention of this ships status and I will chuck you into the ships reactor for treason. Now I want everyone ready as we will be conducting a drill. The mission we have to do is a simple rescue and evacuation from a planets surface. Now all hands prepare for FTL in 30 seconds" quickly Tel signalled the comms officer to close the ship wide channel. Exactly 30 seconds later everyone was ready for FTL and so was the ship as it lurched into FTL. Tel admired how spectacular it was to travel faster than light remembering that people used to think it world take the power of a galaxy to travel faster than light. She was also amazed how much the alliance was willing to trust her after all they had only been part of the alliance for a short time. But their was one thing nagging her at the back of her mind and that was whether the other captains would except the Fading Light and her crew as equals. After all they were just androids which most thought considered them just property to own. The ship finally came out of FTL "set scanners to max and give me a run down who's out there" Tel looked over the shoulders of her radar operator as the list of ships appeared on screen. "Well looks like some heavy hitters" Tel was surprised at the amount of fire power here and most of it was the best around. Excitement was building within her thinking off the missions that this fleet would be executing. "Well I guess it's time to say hi" Tel said as she opened communications to the fleet "Greetings fellow captains it seems I'm a bit late but shall we begin discussing what ideas we have for the mission before we dive head first into these games". As Tel finished she sat back down on her seat folding her legs as she waited for a response with great expectation and a grin on her face.
