Both fighter groups have been ordered to power down weapons and fall back to a safe point between the Reaent,and the vessel that not long ago appeared to be preparing to begin an attack on both the ship,as well as the combined fighter groups...something has occurred though,for just as quickly the vessel began to power down their main weapons,our sensors have verified that,both groups are still standing by in the event they make a mistake,or change their minds and pursue an aggressive course of action...that would be a tactical error on their part..we still maintain the ability to react on a moments notice,literally be upon them before they could blink,that is the upside,the downside of course being should they amass a sudden strike,no doubt we will suffer losses...but they will pay dearly for that.

 

Angel was looking at the star patterns,groups,nebulae,from the venue of the cockpit the opportunity to just sit and enjoy the vast panoramic view from this perspective..seeing the galaxy unfold like an exquisite canvas and painting ,truly a masterpiece wrought by a masterful hand,to see and appreciate the view with your own eyes,not as seen through a sensor image on a screen...no this way is much better,we are not afforded this luxury very often due to the nature of the business of being a fighter pilot.

 

The various colors,and shapes of gaseous cloud formations to the exacting placement and rotation of a spiral galaxy in the distant,comets with an almost spectral ghostly trail in tow as it travels towards the sun of a faraway system...the enormity of the view can be a humbling event in it's own right,planetary bodies the colors bright,spread across the visual spectrum ..and the dark,ebony asteroids as well seeming to counter balance the others,all in their place,each playing their part in a visual extravaganza fit for any observer that merely taking the time to do so.

 

With each passing moment I am aware of the situation we are facing,and we are ready to respond,it just makes the time pass easier ,less stressful,when one can stop and smell the star dust......Computer...End Log:...Beep.
