"Status report?"  said Admiral Raglan to the pilots and crew on the bridge.<br/><br/><strong>"Everythings fine, except for these readings sir... but they're probably nothing. The sensors more than likely need retuning."</strong>said a navigator.<br/><br/>"Explain." said Raglan. His tone made it clear that the first statement of everythings fine was clearly untrue and annoying to the Admiral. The pilots knew that he didn't like to be annoyed.<br/><br/><strong>"It's the antigrav neutronic bursters that we use to cushion our landing sir. Some of the ID lights seem to be burnt out. We're fixing it now. I assure you Admiral it's just a glitch in a bridge system."</strong><br/><br/>Raglan Frowned. Undoubtedly the pilot was correct. If anything happened to those bursters the Colony ship would smash into the planet with the force of a nuclear missile. He looked at the time to destination readout. There would be no margin for any mishaps now. Any kind of screw up on the final approach and they would be lucky to be able to evacuate half the crew, let alone any equipment.<br/><br/><strong>"We could send someone outside to do a physical check sir. But they'd have to be quick about it."  </strong>said a engineer.<br/><br/>"Admiral Lordson to Captain Vallejos, get me the best person aboard to deal with a burster malfunction, and get them to the bridge... now!" he sent the message scambled so that anyone who knew the potential seriousness of the situation wouldn't have a heart attack if they overheard it. There was no panic in his own voice.<br/><br/>After all the luxury escape capsules were mere yards from the bridge.
