<em>Gah, what the hell is that?!</em>Pyre thought with revulsion upon seeing the "Living Heart of the Void."  She pushed a button on the console in front of her, to record the conversation in the ships computer. She started considering her options quickly, but there weren't many.  The dropship had been modified to be mostly self sufficient, able to travel through warp by itself. It however, still did not have any sort of weapons.  It would take too long for the warp drive to engage before the enemy could destroy them.  "I'm sorry, whatever you are, but I can not turn Shadir over to you.  My personal mission is to see that these hybrids do not fall into the wrong hands, and that they can choose their own destiny.  Handing him over to you obviously contradicts that purpose!"<br/>Suddenly, she felt a reply from coming from the battlecruiser.<em>My name is Pyre, and me and my crewmate are about to come under attack.  Any help would be appreciated,</em>she replied psionically, not realizing she was communicating with her former clasmate.
