Maltharians in Space

"Sir, Maltharian Heavy Cruiser decloaking off the starboard bow."

"What? Are they charging weapons?"

"She's launching shadow-fighters."

"Dammit! Hail them!"

"Receiving transmission sir. We're to stand down our weapons and clear out of their way."

"What?!"

"They claim a right of revenge on the Tanari Fleet."

"The whole fleet?"

"Aye Sir."

"Blood Oath...damn."

"They're crazy."

"No Ensign, they're Maltharians. o as they said. Get us out of the fight."

"Yes Sir."

"But not too far. I want to see this."

"Sir, nothing can stand up against the combined firepower of a Tanari fleet."

"You've not seen Maltharians in battle, son. No Tanari ship will survive."

"Sir, incoming transmission from the lead Tanari ship."

"On Screen."

"Captain, stand down your ship and prepare to be boarded. Surrender yourself and I'll spare your mutanous crew."

"I think you have bigger problems, Admiral."

"Blashphemers! Target Margosa's ship and inform the Maltharians not to interfere."

"Shadow-Fighters on approach, Admiral."

"Good bye, Admiral."

"Destroy the Inferno! Captain Margosa must not be allowed to escape!"

"Admiral, our weapons are off line."

"What?!"

"Intruder alert. Intruder alert."

"I'd get to an escape pod if I were you, Admiral."

"Impossible."

"They're coming out of the shadows all over the ship!"

"Security lock-down. Repell borders."

"I'll see you are damned for this, Margosa."

"Watch out for Shadows, Admiral. Sometimes they move."
