The infinite serenity of space was, for now, a thing of the past. Admiral Slin sat in his private quarters watching the battle on his vidscreen, the view changed every thirty seconds. Battleships and Destroyers bristling with thousands of plasma cannons were decimating the enemy. Squadrons of Selushan fighters plunged through the enemy defensive lines swarming like stinging gnats.

 Admiral Slin took particular interest in a dog fight in the vicinity of this strange solar system's sixth planet. The Selushan fighters were heavily outnumbered, but it was obvious that they were faster and had greater fire power. It was also obvious that the enemy, while greater in number, weren't exactly the 'brightest stars in the cosmos'. That made him smile of course. His fighters were playing a game of 'find the enemy hiding in the asteroid belt'. A game the Admiral himself used to play when he was a pilot.

"I can't believe these beings have us outnumbered by four to one and in the case of the fighters even five to one and we're taking only twenty percent of our normal casualties," he said out loud to himself, "at this rate their home planet will succumb sooner than hoped and Prime Minister Athena herself will pin the Selushan Star on my chest."

intercom..."Admiral...the intelligence officer you requested is on the flight deck."

"Send her to my quarters please Commander."

"Aye sir."

 

"You may be seated Captain Yllek. State your full name, rank and serial number."

"Aye sir...Nna Yllek, Captain, 2041559."

"Do you understand Captain Yllek that the sharing of information you have been ordered to obtain with anyone other than myself is punishable by death?"

"Aye sir."

"If you understand that Captian Yllek why did you request the assistance of Ensign Clobe?"

"Sir, I needed assistance in the proper form of documentation of information."

"In other words Captian, you shared information with someone other than myself."

"Sir, Ensign Clobe only assisted with the proper formatting of the information. He did not have access to all of my files on the subject."

"You're right Captain. He did not have access to ALL of your files but he had access to some of them. As an intelligence officer I am surprised that it never occurred to you that this could be considered a possible breach of security."

"Sir, I am the best at what I do. It did occur to me. That's why I made sure any information he had access to was minimal."

"Not minimal enough Captain. Ensign Clobe was questioned by none other than myself thirty minutes ago on the matter. You were not thorough enough. Were you aware Captain Yllek that Ensign Clobe was top in his class at enemy language deciphering and translation?"

"No sir."

"I thought not. Ensign Clobe had no trouble at all deciphering the enemy language and extrapolating. I assume he shared none of his findings with you Captain Yllek?"

"None sir."

" I believe you Captain. Dismissed."

"Sir, may I ask a couple of questions?"

"Of course Captain."

"Why all the secrecy about this particular enemy and what's going to happen to Ensign Clobe?"

"Ensign Clobe was ejected from the forward port air lock twenty minutes ago. If I answered your first question Captain Yllek you would suffer the same fate. Dismissed."

It would be a great shame to eject her into space the Admiral thought. Tall, beautiful brown hair with highlights, brown eyes and dark olive skin. She was beautiful.
