A hostile battle fleet approaching a planet.
CHAPTER 8 – A TENSE SITUATION
13:55 (Universal Time)
Friday, May 21, 2320
Command bridge of the KOSTROMA
Closing in on planet Gliese 581c
Amin Jamilian, on duty at one of the sensors station of the bridge, stiffened when something completely unexpected showed up on his display screens, making him speak up in alarm in his headset’s microphone.
‘’Captain, a number of ships have just appeared on my infrared scanners. They were previously masked by the bulk of Gliese 581c, which would explain why we couldn’t detect them before.’’
‘’Ships, rather than one ship?’’ asked a shocked Tina.
‘’Affirmative, Captain. I count 23 ships, all in low orbit over the single moon of the planet.’’
Made cautious by her past combat experience during the 2315 W
