Deep in the Klatu system a convoy of ships bound for the planet Murgerspher was preparing to leave the saftey of the the planetary guns and venture forth into Space Pirate Territory.
They were carring a prototype for a new type of super laser.The prototype itself was located in the Flagship "The Cone's Grace.This ship had 35 high powered laser canons that could slice asteroids in half with one shot."The Cone's Grace was escorted by two heavy Desmoid class Destroyers,4 Yiman class cruisers,and 3 Hydra class Carriers.

Admiral Dinmar Chofet was on the "Cone's Grace".He stood on the bridge.Unlike many other ships the Murgerspherian bridges were located deep in the heart of the ship and they let the equpiment do the observing.Dinmar twiddled his thumbs nervously.These spaces were notorious for space pirates.No one usually traveled these zones but they were forced to do to a nearby war near the usual routes."Sir" ensighn Dowski said."Our fuel capacities are at 100% and our lasers are fully charged.Missle pods are also full.We are ready to leave at your command.""Good"the Admiral said.If the hyperspace routes have been triple checked then we may proceed."Quadruple checked them myself Admiral"Dowski replied."Then tell the convoy we are ready to move out and to engage hyperspace on my mark."Yes sir." Dowski said.Moments later the Admiral ordered the convoy into hyperspace.

Several hours later...

BOOM! a huge explosion rocked through the fleet.Alarms went off everywere on "The Cone's Grace""What happened!'the Admiral Dinmar barked at Dowski."One of our cruisers have been hit by what appears to be a mine.They are losing power and I can not open communications with them.I'm also picking an alarming amount of bogeys on radar.310 to exact." Dowski finished."They have been waiting for us"the General said."I want all shpis to form a cocoon around us and try to gain communication with the pirates.This is a fight we can not win.Unless..."he paused."Send an an all comm blasts to all friendly ships.Send this message Doweski.The Admiral said.

We are in desparte need of help.Our convoy has been attacked by pirates.request immeadiate assistance from all friendly nations.We need help immeadiantly.

"Message sent sir"Dowski said."Well lets hope someone got it because they just jammed our signal"the Admiral said."I want all power to shields and engines.We flee to the nearby asteroid field and we set up a defensive perimeter around "The Cone's Grace"Leave the damaged cruiser."At this the convoy fled into the asteroid filed with the pirates momentairly fixed on the cruiser.Until they saw the larger body fleeing and chased after it.

Would any one answer there calls for help?
