"I need you to check the following coordinates for life forms", Reed informed him, "be as specific as you can. We need to know what we're up against." Reed transmitted the information
to the ship and waited for a reply.
"Escort to Reed.", Schultz droned, "I have the data you requested."
"Proceed with your transmission, Escort."
"I'm currently reading between ninety eight and one hundred and three human life sources", Schultz conveyed, "although all but three of them are moving toward the inhabited area you just departed."
"Copy, Escort", Reed replied, "only three stayed behind."
"To the best of my knowledge, sir."
"Copy, Escort.", Reed acknowledged, "Reed out."
Schultz regarded the display mounted on the arm of his chair. "Anda", he said, turning toward the robotics hybrid, "check on the status of the Jenning's brothers."
"Aye-aye sir.", Anda replied, his hand already resting beside the comm button. "Bridge to Ghostrider."
"Go for the Ghostrider.", Jennings intoned dramatically.
"Yes sir.", Anda continued, "What is your estimated time of arrival to Docking Bay 4?"
"Well", Jennings said wryly, "Triple J's a little attached to the commode right now, but we should be there in about five mikes."
"Roger, Ghostrider", Anda confirmed, "let us know when you reach your destination."
