Scott's head snapped over to Abby as she reported her finding. "Well thats not to much of a surprise. It does explain why they are in an odd formation at least." He smiled at her report from her brother. "tell him I will give him as much time as I can." He thought about the position of the other ships for a second the continued. "He should have just enough time."<br/><br/>(Cold Red is battle when the ship is ready to engage an enemy within a few seconds of power up.)<br/><br/>He started wondering why the military would come to this debris field though. He was not sure what to do yet but he knew that when the time came to make a decision he would know what to do. "Maranda, tell all the ships to go into get ready to take on more cargo. I think we might get some well deserved supplies. Spred the word that we are going up against military not civ ships." He was going to say more but froze when he heard Takatch's reaction. He stood as the ship was displayed on the main view screen. He could hear everyone freeze as they listened to Takatch list off the weapons on the ship. "Maranda belay that order. I want all ships in Cold Red within 3 minutes." He was sure that most of the ships had their crews standing by for battle stations but he wanted them to be ready well before the ships closed on their position. He walked up to the view screen and looked closely at the ship. "Well it seem that we have something new to toy with. I want to know where the Cutters vital systems are and how best to take leave it sitting dead." He knew that he would have to surprise a ship that size if he was going to win.
