"Sir, we've gotten a close match, it's likely a Vegan Scout! and two unknowns have been spotted on the far side in the path of our attack pattern, we believe it might be a fighter craft of some sort!"
"Those Vegan scum... how dare they get in the path of the Great Gradosian Empire!" Gosterro growled at the informant who could do nothing but swallow his spit as a reply. 
"We won't let them steal this glorious moment of conquest! We'll move forward with the attack immediately! If those two unknown flying craft remain in our path shoot them down before they have a chance to respond!"
"But Sir, the other lieutenants have not yet given the call sign for complete preparations-"
"Then command them to finish on the double! Once our first strike is complete we'll snuff out the Vegan scum and wipe them off the surface as well!"
"Y-yes Sir! Right away!" The informant quickly left to pass on the orders while Gosterro silently seethed as he left his presence.
"Those damn bastards won't get in our way this time... but mere scouts won't be enough... I'll have Gale attack these "unknown crafts", with any luck a stray hit will get him out of my hair, heheheheh..."[/quote]

Brainwave detected additional energy signatures, heading for Waspinator's and Inferno's position.  Perfect, just what he needed, more complications.  He simply grumbled then said over the comm link, "Rastun, we have company. Head over there and do something about them before they screw everything up. We'll handle things in the meanwhile."

"Yeah, saw them a few seconds ago, way ahead of you."

Dealing with the unexpected is part of the captain's job, though that fact didn't make this situation any more bearable.
