the Flotilla had come to a stop. the Mining ship captains confused as to why they were holding position. Due to the drastic change in circumstances. The thought that they were visible from the observatories on the planet surface hasn't really occurred to anyone. "What do you mean, "We" are the Law out here?" Black demanded. "Captain Black. This sector of space is outside the influence of the Earth Government. The Corporation has spent countless time and money manipulating officials and documents to ensure no one knows that this system is out here but us. Your ship and Crew were quite useful in protecting that secret." Cromwell hinted. Black's singular eye narrowed coldly on the little Wort. "Comms, patch me through to the CEO, Immediately!" Black Barked. the ensign bent to his task as Alexander simply paced closer to the helms woman. "That won't do you much good, Captain" Alexander quipped.<br/><br/>Within a few minutes a rather busty young woman appeared. "Mr. Mushima's Office. Who is calling?" She asked seemingly rather bored as she worked on her nails. "This is Captain Jeremy Black of the Musashi. I need to speak with the CEO on Urgent Business." Jeremy demanded. The secretary simply rolled her eyes. "Mr. Mushima is in a very important meeting and can't be disturbed." She said in huff as she blew on the drying nail polish on her fingernails. "I am sure the CEO is quite busy, but this Matter is very urgent." Black said trying to keep his temper in check. The secretary scowled deeply as she pressed a few buttons. The Screen quickly shifted to show a shadowy man sitting behind a desk. "Yes, What is it Captain Black?" The Shadow figure stated. Jeremy scowled at the overly dramatic display. "Sir, I bring disturbing News. Planetary body 2234Alpha contains Sentient life. Judging by the scans, they are at a mid-21st century level of development. Though we do not detect much in the way of extra planetary expansion." Jeremy reported. "So?" Mushima asked lazily. "Sir, we must call off the Mission." Black said. "Captain, you have Contingency plan "13", do you not?" Mushima asked. "Yes, He does Sir." Cromwell quickly chirped eager for brownie points. "So I fail to see any issue. We invested a lot of capital into this Venture. You will follow your orders, Captain. Otherwise I will find someone who will." The CEO barked back before closing the connection. Causing the other members of the Bridge to wince at the statement, but Alexander held a greedy gleam in his eye.<br/><br/>Outside, the Mining Fleet began to move again. Moving into a Tactical landing formation. "Who Ordered them to move?" Black demanded to know. "Unknown sir. They are refusing to answer hails" The Comm officer reported. Black growled. "All Stations, Battlestations!" He barked. There was a collective gasp on the bridge. The Alarm Klaxon began to blare through the ship as the sound of boot falls echoed down the Hall. Jeremy adjusted his Cap as he looked over the display. "Contact the Mining flotilla. Tell them if they do not cease their advance and set course for outside the system. We will fire upon them." He said coldly. "CAPTAIN! You mean to fire upon Corporation ships!?" Alexander yelped in shock. "If they don't turn around, then Yes." Black said as he calmly took the seat at his terminal. "I will not be a part of the eradication of another Race, Mr. Cromwell."
