In a bunker in Allanea
Nivensky, CEO of Allanean Arms, Inc., smiled nerviously. Dolbanutaya, the Allanean Prime Minister, frowned.
"Listen to me here, Mr. Nivensky," she said, "I don't want any repeats of last time. No Trekkies on the design team this time."
"No, no, ma'am. We've checked the background of all participants throughly." Then he grabbed the microphone.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, brace for it! This is the first test of the revolutionary Kazansky Drive!"
"Ten!"
On the Gene Roddenberry SpaceDocks, five Anne Coulter VI space fighters sped out towards rhe exits.
"Nine!"
Aboard the USS Liberty , five more craft began acceleration.
"Eight!"
The pilots were in orbit of Earth, slowly beginning to type in the target co-ordinates.
"Seven!"
Two of the pilots where going to the asteroid belt, two were going for Mars, and six more were aiming as far as Uranus."
"Six!"
The last pilot completed typing in his target co-ordinates.
"Five!"
They laid their fingers on the switches that would propel them towards their destinations and waited for the order.
"Four! Three! Two! One!"
And they flipped the switches down. And so it began.
