A warning light flashed on Lt. Meleah's display. "Sir, reading a power | |||
surge on the planet." | |||
"A weapon?" asked Zane spinning to face Ens. Allard. | |||
Quickly Allard ran through the controls, "Dosen't appear to be sir... | |||
more like a tractor beam." | |||
"Could it hold us?" | |||
A little confused, the Ensign replied, "No sir... but they should be | |||
able to figure that out too from our power outputs." | |||
On the main screen a green band of light swept accross | |||
space, somewhat near the Feynman, another displaced about 800km | |||
port, two more also nearby. | |||
"Sir, I'm picking up small pieces of unknown alloys within those bands | |||
sir. Spherical, 3 meters in diameter.. no power readings." announced Lt. Jenn. | |||
"On Screen" | |||
The front view showed a small object bathed in the green of the | |||
tractor beams. | |||
"Magnify" | |||
The small ball had numerous antenni protruding from it. Zane | |||
almost kicked himself for not realizing sooner. | |||
"Helm! Move us..." | |||
Allard interrupted, "Sir! The beams have moved. They've | |||
'thrown' the spheres into our area. Fore, aft,... all sides." | |||
Zane finally said it, "Proximity Mines. Probably won't activate until | |||
near contact." | |||
"Sir, the planet is hailing us." | |||
<NRPG> | |||
C'mon, a pirate base without defences!?<br> | |||
Assume that the mines won't be easily set off<br> | |||
by some quick trick or sensor burst. <G><br> | |||
Yeah.. spies in MY department huh?<br> | |||
