That last voice you heard must have been lying, because the alarms
instantly go off and there is a bright flash in the rectangular window-
like thing on the left. Everyone stares into that window in shock. You
stare too, but all you see is black space and stars and what looks like a
lot of those stupid "spaceships" from your brother's favorite TV
program. "Its the entire Quadragamman Fifth Fleet!" says another man's voice. "Captain, what should we do?" "Muahahahaha!"" a voice laughs over the speakers with an intensity that somehow makes the entire station quake. "Station 15 has violated our agreements and allied itself with the Earth Federation! Capture it! Kill every man, woman and child aboard per my order, hahaha!" "He's talking to his troops over one of their deep-space transmitters," says the Doctor, as the spaceships in the window slowly draw closer. "They dont even mean to negotiate with us... damn them!" "The safety of the crew and passengers is my main priority," the Captain says. "I'm hereby ordering an evacuation of all non-military personnel and anyone unwilling to fight." "Captain!" gasps the female voice. "Our short-range fighters and satellite lasers will buy us just enough time to evacuate," says the Doctor. "But Captain, surely you dont mean." "That's right, I and anyone who stays is going to fight to the end," the Captain says, his face a mask of cold steel. "You have your orders, now follow them! Weigant, Huxley go with me to the bridge. Doctor, you are in charge of the evacuation of the medical wing. Let's go!" The Captain and several others leave the room through a door that opens and swings shut by itself with a pleasing hiss, that is nonetheless hard to hear over the wail of the sirens. Everyone is rushing around as if they have forgotten all about you. You jump out of the bed and glance about in confusion. "Over here!" a woman in a white uniform yells from across the room. "Hurry, darling! You have to go with the other children!" The others, you wonder. Does she mean the other four that came here? There's only one way to find out.
