Auria walked out of the control area, and down to the residential area to make sure that all civilians were locked up tight in their rooms. She knew they would be sitting targets there, but hopefully with all the locks and blockades. Maybe they couldn't even get into their rooms, maybe they could deter them. She doubted it.  She made her rounds across the hall ways, and everything seemed quite and empty.<br/><br/>The ship started to shake as the shields were hit. Ever hit wearing them down a little more. They were designed for asteroids or something like that, not the constant fire of an alien space craft. They would be depleted in no time if this kept going. Auria cursed and found something to grab a hold of as the ship continued to shake. The lights flickered. The fight was on.
