Ghost Signals, Episode 2: Part 2.2

INT. STARSHIP SIMULATION

Raiven watches as the area around her turns into the bridge of a relatively small starship, filled with an equally sized crew at the helm; a section of TA-controlled space visible behind her in the background.

CUT TO:

The good Doctor turning around and walking around the bridge, observing the pre-Sci student crew handling the inner workings of the ship as well as scanners and communication.

RAIVEN Whoa...!

PILOT (to Raiven) And we are officially past the Border, Doc. Everything's clean and green.

COMM (to Raiven) No sign of pirate chatter either.

RADAR (to Raiven) Your path's been synced up with our main nav unit.

RAIVEN Excellent...! (pause, to Pilot) Take her to Z-Fac 4. (to everyone in the area) Anyone checked the status of the Jahukagonis? It needs to be kept in a Ferbonite covering, or it runs the risk of overheating--

RADAR (interjecting, seated next to Comm; to Raiven) It's fine, Miss Raiven. Safely latched down in the cargo bay. Jenorai double checked before we took off. It's safer than a five- eyed Tihawk's gullet, or the hull of an A-Class MechCruiser.

Suddenly, the klaxon alarms go off in the bridge. Radar turns their attention back toward their radar screen, noticing a collection of three dots popping up to its right.

RADAR (self-correcting) I--might have spoke too soon. Picking up three crafts coming in twenty metros from the relt.

RAIVEN (to Radar) Might be some idiot joyriders off ploofing their manhood... do we have a read on the crafts' IDs?

RADAR Negative. It keeps cycling every time we get close to pegging it.

RAIVEN Interesting twist...

RADAR (confused) What?

RAIVEN (dismissive) Nothing.

COMM I'm picking up transmissions from one of the crafts.

RADAR (to Comm) Fwip it on the big screen.
