Kyrrazazovy and the six other Naz'Úlairi pilots waited together in a small group, the six ebon skinned females were talking quietly like schoolgirls amongst themselves. Naz'Úlairi pilots whispering their native tongue animatedly about the other pilots who were in the cargo bay with them as they awaited the Liege’s crew to get situated to process the stray pilots from other ships that had been forced to recover on-board the Liege.<br/>There were only a small number of fighter pilots from other ships two females and 3 males. The Male fighter pilots were what was the main topic of discussion amongst the Naz'Úlairi. Males were almost never pilots, and certainly not fighter pilots. Naz'Úlairi Males were warriors and engineers; the Warriors were almost unidentifiable as Naz'Úlairi heavily modified with cybernetics and bio modifications they were usually a good 50 centimeters taller and 60 kilograms heavier.<br/>With any good fortune they would be back aboard the Stalking Shadow in a day or two and this time aboard this ship would be just an unpleasant memory.<br/><br/>The Human fighter pilots had gravitated into their own small group as well as the other pilots. The other group of pilots were the non-combat pilots for the shuttles and transports. They had already given their information to the ensign assigned to collect the pilots basic identification information, Name rank and serial number. She looked over to the other pilots again there were no pilots ranked higher than captain all the others were lieutenants. She was about the set about getting them into order for the XO on Deck's review when the alert klaxon blared to life followed by the combat commanders voice;<em>Alert Condition Red, Alert Condition Red; All Fighters Combat Launch! All Fighters Combat Launch! </em>Almost as a group the fighter pilots headed for the Launch bay at a run.<br/><br/>Five minutes later Kyrrazazovy was back in her Talon fighter the other 5 operational craft form her squadron were moving into launch position. The fighters weren't rearmed, they had barley enough time to move them  she was down to half the on-board missile normally carried the other Talons were in a similar state, she ran through the fighters systems check as she waited for fight control to issue the launch order and the commander of the air group to begin issuing the fighter assignments.<br/><strong>"Flight Command request frequency and call sign of CAG."</strong><br/>
