Eric grinned like a Cheshire cat as he played with the buttons on the console. He was excited and terrified all at once. If this didnâ€™t work they would be toast. His ears picked up Katâ€™s comment and he nodded in response not daring to take his eyes off the moving shapes that danced across his screen.  The tone in her voice made him smile despite himself. â€œAlmost there.â€ He said to Kat hoping she was ready for this. It would only take one mistake by either of them and it would be game over.<br/><br/>The commander barked out orders here and there to various crew members shocking them into movement. Without the help of those around Eric and Kat nothing would get done and the whole plan would go up on smoke. The commander looked at both Eric and Kat wondering what it was that went through their heads at that moment. It was a crucial time and they both had to be stressed. At Ericâ€™s words the commander looked out of the large window at the enemy and said, â€œOne Ericâ€™s command I want everyone to do what I have instructed. It is all on Eric and Kat now to get this right.â€<br/><br/>Eric stiffened at the commanders words his mind racing over his plan and all the things that could go wrong. His mind was almost like a supercomputer and if he hadnâ€™t have screwed around during the academy dayâ€™s he would have probably made the top of his class but he had never really cared to his parents dismay. â€œI have to keep my mind focused.â€ He muttered under his breath. Once he saw the enemy ships were in the box he had created he pushed a big red button and said, â€œNow.â€ As loud as he could. â€œHere goes nothing.â€ He muttered as he watched the enemy ships approach.<br/><br/>At first they faltered and then looked as if they had stopped moving completely, second they exploded after the assault the ship had sent right after Eric had pushed the button. They were extremely lucky they had launched their stuff right at the time they did a few seconds after and it wouldnâ€™t have worked. The ship exploded with applause and cheering. Eric slumped back in his chair and brought his hand up to cover his eyes. He was tired and after that bit of adrenaline rush he  felt like he was eighty and had just walked a mile.<br/><br/>After a few moments of darkness he removed his hand and looked over at Kat. â€œWell done, you got good aim.â€ The commander silenced the crew and looked to Eric. â€œI would like a word with you.â€ Eric gulped and nodded his head not daring to say another word. Turning his attention to Kat the commander said, â€œYou did well, I would also like to talk with you.â€  The crew got busy working on different things here and there trying to get the ship back to somewhat better shape as the commander waved to Kat and Eric to follow him.
