[center][h3][color=8b668b]THE BRIDGE[/color][/h3][/center]

	As you enter into what you presume to be the bridge, you find yourself in an area easily three times the size of the cryo-stasis room and made of the same dark metal as it. At the front of the room, straight across from the doorway, is a large window glaring out into the dark void of space. Along the walls of the room are several consoles with various ship readings flashing across their screens. In the center of the room is a large circular console with five chairs around it. On the console, in front of each seat, is a small personal display and in the center of the console is what appears to be a large holo-projector. In the center of the ceiling you can see a weird orb shaped object that you get the uncomfortable feeling is watching your movements. As you enter the room and begin looking around you hear the speaker system turn itself back on.

	[color=0a7cd0]"Thank you for coming to the Bridge as I requested. With you all here, we can begin introductions and briefings. I am the shipboard Artificial Navigation and Defense Intelligence, or ANDI for short. You are aboard a light cruiser called The Phantom, commissioned by [ERROR] and registered to [ERROR]."[/color] A pause as ANDI seems to check himself before continuing. [color=0a7cd0]"I apologize for those errors, but it appears many of my memory cores were wiped the last time we docked. As I was saying though, you are aboard the Phantom. This ship was built with state of the art stealth and navigation systems, and mid tier defense and weapons systems. It was also built to be as hands free as possible. Except for my data core and the ship core, all systems are built into the ship itself and maintained by microbots within the structure. As such, there is plenty of time for training and relaxation by the crew, yourselves, during travel and little need for maintenance."[/color]

As you come farther into the room, the holo-projector starts up and projects the image of a small, blocky shaped space station.

	[color=0a7cd0]"In terms of the current mission, we are currently 1 AU away from our mission target, the COFTA Research Space Station Beta Omega Epsilon located just outside COFTA space. Your mission is to board the station, transmit all data cores to me, retrieve any physical research, and destroy the station. Use of deadly force has been permitted for this mission, and anything not relevant to the mission is free to take. At sublight speeds, we should be docking at the station within three hours. Feel free to visit your rooms, communicate with me, relax, and explore the ship. I can be contacted from any room by speaking out and saying my name. All personal items can be found in your rooms."[/color]

	Finishing his debriefing, ANDI turns the speaker off. At the front of the bridge, the window darkens and is replaced by a map of the ship, split into two levels, with each room labeled. Looking behind you, you also see the lights have turned on in the rest of the hallways.
