\nEARLY VICTORY:<\/strong><\/font>
\nIKV Decimation<\/strong>
\n\u201cThere are three destroyers in orbit around the inner planet. Once we leave orbit, they will take several minutes to get here. We should have enough time to attack the incoming convoy before they arrive. The remaining Federation ships are not within scanning distance. \u201c The science officer looked confident. Admiral Krelk decided to make him less confident.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow long would it take for Federation re-enforcements to reach us if they were just at the edge of sensor range?\u201d Krelk smiled at the sudden nervous look on the science officer face. The officer looked quickly at his controls, making rapid calculations. Yet it was the navigator who spoke first.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy lord, the Federation convoy is nearly within full sensor range. The gas giant will not hide us much longer.\u201d Krelk\u2019s eyes narrowed as the science officers eyes grew large. It was a report that he should have come from him, not the navigator.<\/p>\n

\u201cProceed with the attack,\u201d the Admiral ordered, never once taking his eyes off the science officer. \u201cMake sure I have plenty of warning about those Federation re-enforcements. I\u2019d hate to have to kill you before your first battle is over.\u201d<\/p>\n

The science officer swallowed hard and tried to watch several sensor screens at once. He knew the Admiral was as good as his word. He could hear several bridge officers chuckle as the ship surged toward the convoy.<\/td>\n
