Kestra

"Bridge Chatter"

Kestra listened carefully to the conversation on the bridge. She personally thought they were crazy to even give up a chance at the 3rd fleet. Sure it was a risk. What wasn’t? Sitting in this ship, wondering what was holding it together, she knew she would want to chance it. But then again, she wouldn’t be the one out there, doing recon or salvage. They would probably be sending out the fighters again.

 

The fighters. She scowled and hastily jabbed some controls in front of her, suddenly in a bad mood. First Simon somehow thought it would be appropriate to pester her with personal messages over the comm, Zhu was trying to convince her that there was some sort of evil on the planet, and now this.

 

“We should just try to get some of the ships and get out of here,” she mumbled to herself.

 

Zhu heard her and turned to question her. “At what cost?”

 

She frowned, thinking about it. At what cost? Surely they could conduct a salvage operation without being destroyed. The Breen though … who knew what else was out there? Kestra glanced down at her readouts again, as if to reassure herself that there was nothing else out there. She refused to let Zhu’s vague statements get to her. Not a bad guy though, she thought. She was definitely starting to enjoy his company on the bridge and the fact that their shifts coincided. Maybe if she could get out of those dinner plans with Simon …

 

“Those ships would be invaluable to us. Look at the shape we're in,” she challenged him, disrupting her own thoughts. Engineering was doing a good job but no one could deny the fact that some new ships could make a huge difference to the NFA.

 

“Maybe, but something just doesn't feel right,” Zhu replied quickly. Kestra almost laughed at that.

 

“When does it ever feel right?” she asked him, grinning. She noticed movement behind him as Kroells entered the bridge and quickly turned back around, studying her console carefully again.

 

“Yeah,” Zhu said quietly. She almost didn’t hear him mutter his reply. The smile was gone from her face. Maybe he was right. Maybe there was something evil down there, waiting for all of them. Between the Breen, the UFP, and the planet, Kestra wasn’t sure what to worry about first. She ran another scan to make sure no lifeforms had appeared on those ships and sat quietly, hoping she wouldn’t find anything.
