lunitariaprimeYaka was idling, enjoying the return flight, when her companion chimed in.
"Excuse me, Yaka - but there's a transmission from one of the Martian moons."
Yaka's tone was serious.
"I see the transmission profile - Phobos, isn't it?"
"Yes. They're..."
Yaka's perceptions sharpened.
"That's a Red Flash. It looks like things are going to get considerably less tedious," she said.
"You're right of course," her companion spoke from her usual position. "I'll make the calculations - we can be there in about 45 minutes."
"And make sure we come in hot - but keep sensors moving. It wouldn't be the first time a rookie comm officer lit up the system by leaning on a button," came the terse reply, though Yaka's companion could clearly hear the amusement in her tone.
"Martian Command did threaten to feed you that lieutenant, didn't they?"
Yaka made a small, disgusted noise.
"I don't know if they were threatening him more than me."
Her companion laughed softly.
