Captain Kobh’s frustration continued to grow. His orders were specific and his target was clear. The Daunting had already passed up three other targets of opportunity to focus on the Federation frigate that was supposedly in this area.

Supposedly.

Minutes passed, then an hour. All Kobh could do was sit and fume. It wasn’t the crews fault. It was their leaders. Then entire battle plan seemed to precise. Too focused. How could true warriors be expected to fight like this.

Minutes continued to pass.

“Target my lord!” announced Krev. Kobh held his enthusiasm. Was it just another freighter, or a scout.

“It’s the frigate…our target” Krev said with a gleam in his eye.

Kobh simply grinned and began giving commands. Battle was finally upon them.
