He shook his head almost imperceptibly, "Stand beside me,please," he said softly looking down at her with a soft smile before his eyes searched the faces and found Artie who nodded solemnly, he had already been told the situation by a pale faced Mia who was clinging to his hand. Gabriel swallowed and looked around at the soldiers under his command.  "It is not often aboard this ship we have a solemn meal," he said, "And I do not wish this meal to be one of those, however, there are things that must be discussed.  Many of you I am sure are wondering what the Rashan meant by coming aboard our ship, up until this point they have never spent a night with us simply come and gone from time to time.  This time however was different, our brilliant scientist, Mia Oswald, was able to develop a communicator so that we could decipher whatever message they had to say.  The news was bitter sweet.  Many of you were affected by the attack on New York 10 years ago the Rashan know the creatures that have done this and their location.  They are leading us starting tomorrow morning into battle and providing us with a distraction to try and gain an advantage.  I am not sure how long it will take us to get there, but you need to know what we are going into will not be easy and there is a high likely hood we will not come out of it without casualties.  But take heart in the knowledge that if any crew could do it it would be us."
