: "Thank you." Henry replied. He stepped aside and tapped his comm badge =/\=Lt Patnick to Victorious. Captain, you need to move away from the station and the planet. Once the planet is the closest things to the station, the danger to the ship from the beam should stop and the station should power as it was designed. At the moment it believes we are one of its satellites that provided it with power.=/\=

: Meanwhile, back on the ship, McGurrin grunted in some surprise. "Sir, I think the station just targeted us. Weapons systems uncertain but rudimentary."

Peyton had heard enough. this odd station had been firing a energy draining beam to him, now it's targeting weapons...

"Mr. McGurrin, let's get outta here. Helm, manuever use to the other side of the planet over the event horizon, that should stop the energy beam once we are out of line of sight to the station."

=^= "Mr. Dillingham, we're moving to over the event horizon. Hopefully that will give those ground stations what they need." =^=
