i don't get your last post.
you had three sections right?

First section began with: 
CIC of the JSBF Silent Sentinel, 2 hours later
Su'Talra watched grimly as data was fed back to him

2nd section began with: 
The Escort Corvette had spun around so its engines were facing the three approaching ships,

3rd section began with: 
CIC of the JSBF Valiance, Hydian System Deep Space Picket
The Corvette was already sending a report back to Central Command of the intruders

...
the problem i'm having is that i don't know what the "escort corvette" in the 2nd section is. is it the same ship as the JSBF Silent Sentinel in the first section?

is the 1st section and the 2nd section talking about the same ship and the same crew?
