[i]Luckily for the station, the Planetary Goods Platform received the transmission as well. All hands on deck, nearly two dozen ships of varying sizes, being able to carry between 20-400 people were launched from the platform, making way for the crashing station. [/i]

The automated system paused for a moment, before beeping in indication that if had selected a new track. "[i]Captain Michael Smith.[/i] Warning: major hull breach detected in northern sector." Sure enough, there was a gaping hole in the side of the station, with all instruments inside the ships indicating that was indeed magnetic North. "Warning: Hangar bay 25 compromised. Warning: Command center compromised. All external air locks are functional, have a nice walk!" [spoiler]The part where the transmission says your name is a direct playback.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Noice[/spoiler] "Alright boys, let's move." Michael stated over the comms for the other ships, as the various types moved toward the station. They floated between the ripped open parts, attempting to get in through the hull breach.

Just inside the breaches, hints of gunfire could be discerned by the approaching ships. While some of the combatants were clad in heavy environmental suits, the opposition seemed to be primarily scientists. Both sides were using lasers against each other.

"Station, this is Captain Michael Smith. Can you tell me who the hell we're extracting? I see two factions out here!" The captain exclaimed over the comms, his ship landing behind the troops with environmental suits.

The station promptly responded. "Warning: Hostile forces-" the station immediately switched tracks, "-below forty degrees centigrade." One of the enviro-suited combatants threw a grenade towards the scientists, which detonated in a starburst of frozen air.
