 * Lt. Commander Garza calls out from his station.

Lt. Com. Garza: Sir, I'm getting some electromagnetic interference from the planet's surface.

Me: That will be Zorath.


 * I look at Commander Landry.

Me: Sound general quarters.

Landry: Sound general quarters, aye!


 * Landry runs to his station behind my command chair and presses a button. Immediately, the alert beacons come to life and begin strobing in accordance with their annoying klaxons. I press a button on my chair and speak through the shipboard intercom.

Me: All hands battlestations! All hands battlestations! All stations, Combat Alert: Alpha! Repeat, Combat Alert: Alpha! All marines, load Z-rounds and standby to repel boarders!


 * I cut the intercom off and mute the annoying klaxons on the bridge. Each station on the bridge begins sounding off.

Me: Check! Full stop!

Lt. Com. Davis: Weapons Fire Control at the ready! All weapons are loaded with Z-rounds and MAC is loaded and spinning up.
