Captain Aluri nods, caressing her belly. "Yes, please do." She said, "Now, Lux. Before we continue, it seems Nibor has something to say. Can you step out into the hall?" She asked.<br/><br/>Meanwhile Admiral Kaine's bridge crew were priming counter-measures, but it was too late. The first missile salvo obliterated the electromagnetic shielding on the Shanxi. The shield generators were spooling up to get the Shanxi's shields back online. Admiral Kaine burped, clutching his fat belly. "Hurry up, patch our defenses and fire back at the Kaeli's Tears! They've just gone apeshit and the future of your species depends on destroying it! I will personally eat any man or woman that fails in their duty!" He barked.<br/><br/>His discipline, though harsh, seemed to motivate the troops, as soon the shields were sparking back to live. The dropships would need to arrive soon.
