<<Stardrive- Battle Bridge>>

Kyp watched the main viewer as the enemy vessel took off to warp. They were gone, but by the way this enemy seemed to fight he knew they would be back very soon. Sure enough they appeared right behind them. The Saucer disabled the enemy ship, and it was over very quickly. Kyp felt a little anxious. He wanted to beam over to the action, but he knew that no civilization, no matter how weird, would ever let an ambassador go right to the front lines.

Kyp walked over to an empty chair near the Captain's. He sat down and looked at Epic. "Now what sir?"

Epic just looked at him and said in a cold voice, "Now we wait."

Kyp didn't know what to expect next. He looked back at the screen and then leaned over to Epic, "Sir, it is obvious you don't need me here, permission to return to my quarters to begin charting our next stop."

"Granted"

Kyp got up and left the Battle Bridge. Upon reentering his room he went over to the console. He sat down and asked the computer to identify the planet Kerestia. It did. "Computer at warp 6 how long would it take us to reach this planet?"

"1 month, 15 days, 7 hours, 52 minutes."

It was a long shot, but it was the closest planet to this region of space that had trading with his people, even though they hadn't heard from them in almost three years.
