<Order Carrier Bastet>
<Location: Unknown Quadrant, Omicron 92 System>

Aki sat at the desk in her quarters staring at the holoscreen, going over patrol reports from the scout fighters that had just returned to the Bastet. The Nomad Lair in Omicron 92 was still dormant without it's power cell, but numerous Nomad patrols had been spotted in the area, likely trying to restore the Lair back to a functioning state. The console beeped, and a small circle in the top corner flickered; Aki reached up and touched the spot, pulling down a communications screen from the bridge.

"What is it, Commander?"

"Private Communique incoming for you, Admiral... it's from Captain Mikhailovich, he says it's urgent." the commander responded.

"Patch it through."

The screen flickered and switched from a view of the bridge to the face of Captain Mikhailovich.

"Aki, I have bad news for you... High Command just sent out a general order for you to be detained and brought in for court martial, something to do with instigating hostilities towards the Corsairs. What's going on, Aki?" He questioned in a concerned tone.

'damnit'... she muttered under her breath. Aki looked back towards the holoscreen, "Ask for one lousy ship and this is the thanks I get, I'm too close to finding the eye to give up now... thanks for the heads up Captain, good to know I still have friends out there. I dont know if you'll hear from me again after this... I need to disappear, and I'm taking the Bastet with me."

"You're a good officer, Aki, but I hope you know what you're doing. Disregarding direct orders from the High Command, even if you're a member yourself, is likely to have bad consequences..." Mikhailovich responded, saluting out of habit.

"If I dont finish what I've been working on for the past month, there may not be a High Command to go back to. I never thought I'd be disregarding orders, but I dont have much choice right now. There's about to be a mutiny on my ship, I need to see to it... goodbye Mik."

The Holoscreen went blank, cutting of the transmission. Aki opened a channel back to the bridge, "Commander, meet me in my quarters ASAP"

Commander Matthews nodded, "On my way, Ma'am."
