The Unknown Regions seemed like a dark and creepy place to me. I didn't know what was out there, but I was also curious to find out. Mike Bullian's suggestion about forming an elite group of pilots to go above and beyond the call for duty seemed like the best course of action, so that if a problem would arise anywhere, one of the best was always out there to match any destructive force coming their way.

I sat up and nodded. "Hold our position here. Bring the Chains along side us, and the Warder just in front. I want us close together."

Captain Vedik followed the orders quickly, and soon the Interdictor "Chains of Justice" was right along side them. I could see almost the entire ship from where I sat, and was satisfied with how the Corvette "Warder" followed suit. 

"They won't catch us off guard again, if this is where they came from. Send Wraith out to patrol, keep an eye out for anything suspicious. If they're here, they'll come for us." It was a chance I was willing to risk. I didn't believe they would force an all out attack on us immediately. Most tactical minds would probe their prey before taking the kill.
