"We are friends, do not engage."
[b]This message kept going towards the ship, hopefully being heard as the Republic Cruiser arrived at their destination [/b]

"We were on our way here with the ninth fleet. We were ambushed going into jump and several ships were corrupted."
-
"Okay... What else can you tell me?"
-
"Well, we come from another timeline where multiple universes have been essentially eaten by what we call the Corruption."
-
"The corruption? What exactly is that?"
-
"I'm not completely sure myself, but it appears to be an energy source. It can control and evolve species into whatever it wants them to be. And it's hungry."
-
"You should speak to Royal... He would know more about this."
-
"I doubt it. You need to call a full evacuation of Tatakai. The Corruption is already en route."
-
"Than we will combat it here my friend. We are more than capable."
-
"Unless the dojo defenses have drastically incresed over the past forty eight hours, I highly doubt that. We. Must. Run.'
-
"Than you may. We'll provide you with a ship to get out of here."

The AI's hologram appears, it's the image of a young girl in a military uniform. "As of Dust protocol section seven subsection three, I am not allowed to leave. Also, we need to destroy the wreckage of my ship."
-
"Can I ask why you aren't allowed to leave?"
-
"Like I said. Protocol. In the events of a battle commencing, ship AIs are not to leave their stations. Now, I suggest you move this dropship. We have about five minutes before the frigate explodes. Get to minimum safe distance of seven kilometers.
-
"Moving." [b]The ship turned and moved out of the range of the explosion, headed for the planet.[/b]
-
Five minutes later, the massive frigate dissapears in what looks like a miniature sun.
-
"That was the self destruct?"
-
"Indeed. That was the reactor going critical." Replies Serenity.
-
"Interesting choice... So what are you going to do on this planet?"
-
"Well, since you're not going to evacuate, I'm going to find someone else to ask. If that fails, I'll help you prepare."
-
"No one would be willing to leave this place. I hope you're aware."
-
"Do you remember the simulation done some time ago by a mercenary known as Cannon Lok? It involved a worst case scenario situation?"
-
"Very well. I was in it."
-
"Picture that, but one thousand times worse." She tells him.
-
[spoiler]NOOOO. Not those fúcking guys [/spoiler] "Shit... "
-
[spoiler]Oh no, not them. This is much worse.[/spoiler] "Couldn't have put it better myself. I suggest we evacuate everyone, unless you want to implode the planet with them inside."
