-captain's log, UAC Minerva (SoS class)-

We are on our way home after a survey of gaseous anomalies near the Neo Earth system. We are currently proceeding under sublight drive while our slipspace drive is receiving routine maintenance...

Comms officer: "Sir, I am getting a distress signal, priority one."

Minerva Captain: "Put it on audio."

Distressed ship: "This is the passenger vessel Cabrillo, we have struck an orbital mine and have lost power."

Minerva Captain: "This is the UAC Minerva, what are your coordinates Cabrillo?"

Cabrillo: "We are at coordinates (random coordinates), we have seven hundred colonists on board."

Minerva Captain: "Helm, lay in an intercept course."

Minerva officer: "Sir, that's within Prometheus territory, if we go in there we could...

Minerva captain: "I am aware of the implications, and I will take full responsibility. But we must rescue that ship."

-The ship then moves in to enemy territory.-

Radar officer: "Sir! Three Warden class battleships have just warped in!"

-Alarm klaxons start blaring on the bridge and throughout the ship-

Minerva captain: "Tell them we are on a rescue mission. Get the slipspace drive online!"

Comms officer: "They're jamming our radios sir, I can't get through."

Minerva captain: "Get us out of here, best possible speed! All hands man your battle stations."

Officer: "They're firing!"

-A glancing blow hits the ship, obliterating the starboard weapons plane and damaging the main reactor. On the bridge panels spark and computer screens explode.-

From engineering: "Main engines destroyed! We have radiation leaks thought the engine rooms. We have to shut down main power."

Minerva captain: "Launch the log recorder, all hands abandon ship! Repeat all hands abandon ship, code white."

-As the remaining officers on the bridge evacuate, a voice is heard from behind the forest window which is now blank.-

Unknown voice: "Ok open it up."

Minerva captain: "Sir, any thoughts?"

Zahn: "A prayer perhaps, Prometheus prisoners are usually turned into shock troops."

Minerva captain: "Sir, is there a better solution to the test?"

Zahn: "No, this is a no win scenario, but commanders must be trained on how to react to such a situation. That is the true point of the test. Dismissed commander."
