Odina nodded and watched Green leaving the bridge. They had a few things they needed to talk about but now wasn’t the time or place for it. She turned her attention to the bridge and those around her.

As for efforts to listen in on more of the background not much else was picked up just the annoyed sounding huff of the CO, =/\= Hey you Fleeters gonna just leave me on mute here? Either reply or do something or close this channel, I aint got all day to sit here and listen to dead air, unlike you Fleeters we got work to do or in this case R&R to take planet side. So that said why don’t you all just buzz off and leave us too it? No sense you sticking around anymore....=/\= He said.

=/\= “I suggest you police your tone with me, Captain.” said Marceau, stressing the word Captain to give the impression he didn’t think the man should be a captain. “We are a Starfleet vessel and your vessels is carrying native life forms from that planet.” He pointed off screen towards the planet. His French accent came out stronger. “Native life forms you have been selling as slaves. What makes you think you have the right? What makes you think I’d let you go, knowing what you are doing?” =/\= he looked at Helena and the weapons officer, “Do not let them leave.”

~ Capt Renault

Luckily the comms were only audio, because that meant Helena didn’t have to be stoic. Renaults was slipping into what the Black Jacks called his ‘Franglish’. That meant someone was in major trouble. She rubbed her hands together, then laced her fingers, flipped her hands and stretched to crack the knuckles. She wiggled her fingers gleefully as she set them back on the controls. “Aye Captain.” They would not get away, and Helena might finally get the chance to see exactly what the Lunar Rover class could do, outside of simulations.

=/\= What?! Wha…I..We dont know what you’re talking about Captain! Slaving local life forms? T…thats just insane in this day and age! =/\= He stammered but was clearly caught off guard by the sudden change in tone and forceful nature. A second later a muttered, =/\= Shit we have to take them out! They can’t let Earth know! =/\= Was heard by another voice, and the comm suddenly ended.

On screen all three cargo ships began to slowly accelerate impulse reactions to spread out, their own hull polarization systems came online and their plasma cannon signatures also showed powering up. While the three Earth cargo ships were not the deep space hauling types that were more common they were smaller though still slow in relation to say the Lunar Rover class. But because they were so sluggish they were usually known by many to have their captains layer more hull plating then normal, some even had one or more plasma cannons added.

Odina kept her mouth shut but her expression was furious. Slaves, Earth’s history was filled with slavery and those who fought it and defended and finally gotten that abolished. To know that Terrean cargo ships were sinking to such awful lows to do that another planet’s natural inhabitants. She made sure that tactical console was as ready as it could be and had her spare parts ready to make fast replacements if it came to it.

“Helena.” Marceau just said her name, she didn’t need more than that. [O] “Red alert, ship to red alert. Battle stations. Polarize the hull playing. Engineering, Security” he looked to Marshell, “be ready to relay coordinates and aim, helm weapons controls are still out.”[O] He glanced around the bridge. “This kind of behaviour we cannot stand for, however we will try not to destroy the ship, only disable. Am I understood?”

~ Capt Renault

Helena didn’t need more than that. “Buckle up.” Not that it was necessary with artificial gravity. The ship moved, and the Sojo was more responsive and faster. The thrusters and impulse engines fired to life and the ship moved and swiveled into a position slightly below the other ships, giving their plasma cannons easy direct fire at the two ships close together and with the 180° adjustability of the aft cannon, firing range to the third ship. “Security, let me know what and where you want to hit, and I’ll get you there,” she called over her shoulder.

Lt. Laursen, Helm/Navigation Officer

“Ready Sir.” Odina replied, she had every confidence in Green and the rest that with their hard work and dedication to the ship, together they’d be able to keep the ship’s armor plating and weapons up to par for this and once it was over she was going to send some letters about the parts, codes, ethics, and most of all team work to keep the ships of the Fleet in the best condition they should be in.

Not long after the red alert sounded there was a comms in from Engineering. =^= Engineering, Bridge. Gagarin here. Additional power allocated to critical systems. Damage control parties standing by. =^=
- NE Gagarin

Heather just nodded as she turned back to her own console. It was time to see what sort of surprises those ships might have in store for them, as she had only known them to stay stock for the time they came off the assembly line to being placed in their first Captain’s hands. Refocusing the Sojourner’s sensors on the 3 freight ships, it was time to see what they were up against.
