"Prepare the Light Speed Thrusters" yelled Kage in the control room once they were out of Vardia's atmosphere. "LST Ready! Awaiting your orders sir!" responded the Captain. "Activate Anti-Thrust Fields" said Aragren. with that order, the Captain sat down at his seat and hit a series of button on the keyboard before him, a faint bleep marking it had been activated. it was a special Energy Field that negated the extreme force exerted on a body upon activation of the thrusters and save the passengers from being killed either upon activation or deactivation. "ATF Activated, sir!" responded the Captain. "Activate LST" said Kage. the Captain hit a large black button on the Keyboard and an alarm went off, warning all passengers that the LST was about to be activated. the sound of more engines was heard as the primary space travel jets were activated, and specialised fuel was pumped into the immediately usable tank to change the concentration to a much more powerful, energy boosting formula. suddenly the Frigate jerked forward, shooting through space at above light speed, quickly leaving Vardia behind...
less than 25 minutes later, the LST was deactivated, due to Kage's warning that there could be Pirates or other threats around the area they were entering, as it had frequently been on his travels. sure enough, when the radar systems were activated, along with the other detection systems, and the windshield reopened, two craft were detected in relatively close proximity to them. less than 20 kilometers away, the tail glow of the engines still visible from this distance. "Should we investigate, sir?" said the captain. "Yes" said Kage. "Activate in depth scanners" said the Captain, one of his subordinates moving to one of the many keyboards and entering the commands. the scanners activated and the large screen behind Kage and Aragren was turned on. they turned away from the windshield and looked at the screen. "Koult...that's the one at the front...the one in pursuit is...a Marican ship if i remember the design correctly..." said Kage. "Move in closer...but avoid getting within 10 kilometers of them...we don't want any nasty surprises...make sure all weapon systems are live but concealed". the Captain nodded and began making preparations...
