            Damn! Damn! Damn! Steele cursed as he ran a zig zag course
towards the relative cover of a partial wall which moments before had been
some sort of store.  Had been until the rocket that had been meant for his
car had missed and taken it out.  He had told the captain that, given the
tensions and the recent skirmishes between the factions that this had been
a BAD idea.  Captain Sinclair had known it too, but it was a calculated risk. 
The government of Montil were aware of the Federation’s technical
superiority but wanted to be treated as equals..equals that had something
the Federation needed.  Badly.  So the decision was made to accept their
security assurances.  And Steele had grudgingly accepted the logic.  He
should have pushed harder.
            He flipped open his communicator as his hand groped for the
phaser that wasn’t there.  Another concession to Montil’s sensibilities. 
“Steele to HOOD.”
            [HOOD here.  Its good to hear you commander! Sensors are picking
up explosions and weapons fire near your location.  We can’t raise the
captain.]  There was mild panic in the comm officer’s voice as if he knew
the answer to the unasked question.
            “The captain is dead along with the majority of the caravan.” 
Steele replied flatly.  “We have multiple hostilies inbound and I don’t
think there are enough of the security forces left to hold them off.  Set
ship’s phasers to stun and target a 2 block radius.  Fire when ready.” 
            The order given he spun around to find Merrick.  He saw by one
of the transports frantically administering CPR to someone in a blue tunic. 
The doctor?  He couldn’t tell with all the smoke.  “Merrick!  Sean!”  The
engineer looked up in anguish in time to see Steele point towards the
heavens.  “Incoming!”  They both dove to the ground as the wail of the
phasers surrounded them.
