A COM was comign through the contact Channels...Admiral Hack nodded to Beth to release it to the Main feeds and a very stern Looking Elipsian , wearing his Black Unifrom with red Piping and novas on his shoulders for his rank.

Rahter then not answer I am sending word from the grand Council of our Planet Station.... Your threats do no scare us.. we have held Hyrains and Demons at bay, with little trouble... or pilots have been blooded in scores of battles and the ships that awiat you have veteran crews... you cannot scare us Admiral hack. We do counter your threat with this offer... if you trun over one of your troop transport of Occui, and surrender one of you Caps ships, complete with crew.. we will allow the rest of you to leave unharmed..you'll have 20 Minutes to..........
The Admiral burst out Laughing followed by others around the Hanger Dec..laughter carried throught eh COMs from Transports, shuttles and Pilots.
Numas's brow dropped a bit making his eyes smaller and more narrow,..you think this is a jest?
The Admiral waved him off a moment before he collected himself, even then, there was some bouts of fighting chuckles,..That was very refreshing, Admiral Numas.... but?.. you are in no postion to bargin.., the only think you have, that we want to take..is your lives... we don't want to eat you, we don't want to breed with you..well..i hope my people don't..but? in the end.. this is what is goign to happen... in a few moments.. we are goign to make contact with your ships.... we will blow them to the 9 hells, while we pound that Oversizerd, metal football you live in..and on..to bits... IF...and only if.. you surrender before the shooting starts.. we will allow civies to flee, after we vet them.....Military folks will either be killed out right, or sent to an empire destination of our choosing..you have very little Time, Numas....If i were you, i would find my mate, and say good by, because.. i do nott hink you'll surrender... so we will soon start the extermination the vermin that live here..
..they said you were a fool....
I don't know who you talked to? but i know it wasn't anyone we faced in battle
