A large ship dropped out of hyperspace, and then the people on board started running around, wondering why they dropped out of HyperSpace.
"Captin, what is happening?" a woman asked the captian.
"I have no damn clue!" the captain replies furious. "If you find out what is happening please tell me."
Then in a instant a messagner boy was running across the deck, and trying to get past the guards to get on the bridge. "Let him by" The captain waves off the guards, allowing the boy to reach him, the captain then bent down to the boy's hiehgt. "What can I do for you, son?"
"I am not your son!" The boy shouts. The captain then laughs. "I have a message for the sir." The boy says with pride, glad he did his job. The captian then take s the letter from the boy, and he reads it. Then he turns to the woman next to him. "Shut down all movement, we are to become a sitting duck."

*Enchant looked over at him and raised her eyebrow*
"Captain?"
*She didn't under stand why, but from the look of his face, as he stood there holding the letter, she didn't dare continue to inquire why at that moment. She then nodded*
"Yes , Captain"
*She then proceeded down the corridor towards the bridge*
"I wonder what he meant by that"
*She had muttered under her breath , as she reached the bridge.*
"shut down all engines but life support ..."
*She stood there, as the bridge crew looked at her , realizing how crazy the order was*
"Don't look at me, I just do what I am ordered."
*She wathced as the crew, started shutting down .*

The Captin then comes on a all ship call, before the orders are completed. "ATTENTION crew and civilians, we are under going a crises, and I want everyone to be at the bridge or the deck below the bridge in 0030 hours. We are going to shut off life support to all other areas in 0020 minutes."

*Enchant froze in place. She couldn't believe what she had just heard. She glanced at the rest of the crew and frowned*
"He can't be serious. Did I hear him right? He said shut off life support?"
*She watched as a few nodded and a couple shrugged there shoulder bewildered as well.*
"Something isn't right? Does anyone know whats going on?"
*Again, a few nods implying they didn't. She looked towards the bridge door in expectation of the captain returning to the bridge*
"Someone better go and make sure everything is okay"
*No one moved. She then looked back over the bridge crew and then sat down at a open station. She let out a sigh and stretched.*
"Well what ever it is it must be something big, but for the life of me I can't imagine what it is"
*She sat there and waited as 20 minuted counted down....*

Almost every one on the large ship was in the bridge or the hall below. There were about twenty not there, so life support was shut off to all other areas of the ship. There should be enoguh air to last a few hours in the other parts of the ship, but nothing fresh. The captain then looks at the woman and speaks. "I have no damn clue what is going on." He then looks around. "What should we do." he sobbed.

*Enchant watched as the Captian entered the bridge, and sealed the door behind him. There was soft whispers. The Captain finally blurted out *
" have no d**n clue what is going on."
*He then looks around.*
"What should we do." he sobbed."
*Enchant stood up in a startled gasp*
"What do you mean 'What should we do'? Your the Captain."
*She stood there watching the Captain sob. This left her curious and a bit frightened.What was wrong with him and why did he seem to not know what was going on*
"Captain, you alright? Don't you remeber you told us to shut everything down including the life support. I think you should tell us why. "
*She felt a bit uneasy about questioning her captain, but he was acting so odd and time was running out , before there was no more oxygen on the bridge.*
"Please Captain, what is going on?"

The captain looks around. "I shut off all life support outside of the bridge and deck. We are losing power fast." The same boy followed him eager to tell him somthing. "What do you need to speak of?" the captain asks the boy.
"Sir," the boy spoke, "We were hit."
"Hit by what?" the capitan asks.
"A comet, Haley's comment." the boy speaks.
"So we are near Earth?"
"No sir, still a thousand light years away." the boy speaks. "But sir, I have a solution."
"Tell me young 'un." the captain said not wanting to hurt the boys feelings.
"Put all power in hyperspeed and keep life support on in the bridge and hall only, and that should be enoguh power to get us to the moon base, or Earth, around Olde English England."
The captain takes the words in, and asks a coordinator if it is possible. "Tell her what you just told me, son."
The boy looks please and then speaks again "Put all power in hyperspeed and keep life support on in the bridge and hall only, and that should be enoguh power to get us to the moon base, or Earth, around Olde English England"
The woman nods her head. "Yes it will work, want me to get on it, but I am going for the mood colony 0215?"
The captain nods his head, and looks at the boy and asks in a calm voice "What?"
"I am not your son!" the boy shouts. The boy looks much like the captain.
"Is your name Jakob, and you are 10? Your mother is married to Elder?" the captian asks.
The boy looks up. "Yes sir, how did you know?"
"I am Elder."

*Enchant not sure what was going on between the captain and the young boy, so she turned around and put the ship in to hyperspeed. She watched as the stars flew by making lines in the darkness.*
"We are at hyperspeed 4 captain, and we have 98% life support on bridge and corridor 3. All other platforms have been sealed off captain"
*Enchant turned around and lookat the view screen*

Elder nods his head. Then asked Enchant. "Did the last people make it to the bridge or halls?" he asked, wondering. "If the did not, there is only enough air to last them atlest three hours."

"Yes, captain, all personal accounted for...and sealed in."
*She looked over at him and gave a fake smile. She was deffinately nervous.*
"Captain, whats with the cloak and dagger?You still havent told us the purpose of this."

Elder looked at the woman. "We are losing major power. Our weapons system and our cloak and shield will not work, we are on Aux 3 Power, Aux 1 and 2 are depleted."

*Enchant looked at him and frowned.*
" How can this be? Everything was running smoothly."
*She shook her head in disbelief. How is it , she knew nothing of this. They were like sitting ducks in a pond of watter*
"Well what are we going to do , sir?"

Elder looked up at the woman again "Aux 3 only has enough power to get us to Earth, if we have one forth left when we are close to the mood base we will go onto Earth, if not, we will go to the mood, so hope Selena will be nice to us."

*Enchant looked at the captain and smiled. He did have a plan after all. She herself had never been to eartha dn she was excited to see it . It was all the captain had talked about when she first met him.*
"Yes, sir. This moon base, how far from Earth is it?"
* She looked at the odd expression on his face*
"And can't we just fuel up at the moonbase?"

Elder thinks. "Since the years of the gravitational fields and friction has changed since the sun has became a dwarf. Um a million miles."
