"Remus to Anna - stay close," came the deep-set voice of Remus.
*** Outpost Sargasso ***
The Command Carrier was helpless before Fayam's assault - the only trouble was the ship's size; it would take Fayam hours to completely destroy it, and even longer to navigate the halls to capture the Prophets. Their consolation? Their beacon had been picked up.
