No Peace Without War

Well, this sucks tits, and not in a good way. "Who was it that said the Meditherians were a peaceful lot?" Captain Edmunds said aloud.

"I only assumed so from the text I translated. They called this meeting as part of a peace treaty." Petty Officer Castor spoke up timidly.

"Castor, do you see those pulse cannons?"

Castor turned his face from Captain Edmunds to the blue glowing openings of the cannons on the Meditherian ship.

"And the fleet of destroyers coming at us. And this screen, that clearly indicates that they have locked onto us. Hacked into our system and shut down our ship. We are a sitting target Officer Castor. This is not what peace looks like."

"Yes, sir I do see them." Castor's voice was breaking.

"Do you hear that alarm blaring so loud I can barely hear myself think? That's not what peace sounds like."
