" Wait....what?! You are asking me to become you sucessor?" "Yes I am." At that moment my comm buzzed " Sir there's someone calling you on the comm." I heard Latran say. " Got it I'll be right up." Hmm I wonder who it is, more survivors maybe. Once I got to the bridge I saw a female vixen on the screen. " Thank god I thought you might be a ship of those robots." I heard the vixen say. " Please state name and rank." " Serra Independace Nelson, scout second class." " Where is this brodcast comming from Ezra?" Before he could reply the vixen answered my question " Space station ISP 1." " I had completely forgoten about you Serra, how's everyone else up there?" " I'm sorry to say that I am the only one left." " That was a fifteen man crew! What happened up there?"I heard someone shout in the backround. " Latran has a point, what the hell happened up there?" " I'll tell you once I get inside." ************************************************************************************************************************************ After about a hour she was inside the ship. " Serra follow Pad to the med bay, we have to make sure you won't infect anyone with some form of virus." After Serra left with Pad I saw Ezra walking up to me " What is it this time?" " Nothing sir." " Do you have any idea what could have caused fourteen men and women to die and leave one alive?" " I have no idea." " We need to go to Elipsus." I pronounced " We're going where?" " Planet Elipsus, the planet that my last spec ops mission was on." " I know that, but why?" " That planet is the only planet that is still fully populated and we need more people." " I know that but still why?" " It's my home planet same with Serra, we know that of we don't get there first the thracks will." The three day wait to get to Elipsus was boring. There were no problems whatsoever and the slipspace drives cooperated. After breakfast we landed in the space port. Serra and I were the only ones leaving the ship. " Serra how long has it been since we were last here?" " I don't know five maybe ten years, why?" " Because this city used to be much smaller." So far so good, but I was still nervous. " I remember that when we landed about six AA turrets were pointed at us and now there are about thirty." " you have w point, I would suggest we put our arms in the air." After about five minutes they finaly saw that we were no threat." Who are you and what do you want?" " Well if it isn't Mike Stone my ex commander." " Arcee, I was told you died."
