[Roland Burma]

[Loxians]

Zentox looked no surprised than the security officer in front of him. But before the comm-link was terminated, he took advantage of the situation.

"Commander, can you hear me? This is Zentox, I was captain of the Loxian mining vessel Tazay. As we are no longer into costudy by your order, and thus free, I would like to formally request asylum for myself and my people who are with me now."

[Loxians]

Kowan attempts to struggle, as does his armed escort.
"If you think you can get yourself out of this by capturing me, you are wrong, commander! My ship's crew will look for me, and go to any extent to get me back! At this point, my people are beaming down on all vital areas of your ship as we speak: engineering, weapon rooms, ... And if any harm comes to me, they will make sure that nothing is left of your ship, and your crew! And believe me, my government will fully understand why we need to do this!"

Zentox hurries to the commander.
"He's not bluffing, I'm afraid. They will go to any extent to see their wishes done. That is what I have been trying to explain all this time... and the worst is: nobody of the Loxian civilians on our homeworld will ever know this happened, everyone will simply be silenced."

At that moment, Skon's computer panel beeps. Zentox sees Skon heading toward it, and he hurries to see for himself, and his hopes are right...
"Seven Loxian exile ships.. they're answering our distress call!"

[Vorak]

OFF: I would handle your hail myself but Vorak is still on an away mission to DS12 at the moment lol. I have given instructions to Montrell to handle the promotion and the next mission http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[Steve McKinley]

OFF: Oops, I forgot...Ok, The Docking Tubes Then. We might have to wait for Mr.Skon Though.

[Will Robinson]

"Already done Captain."

OFF: I can call you captain, since your the high ranking officer on board, for now. http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

[Loxians]

- Loxian cruiser to USS Skytoucher -

"This is Prime Commander Kowan of the official Loxian cruiser Lanxi. The damaged ship you see before you, is NOT recognized by us. These Loxians are savages, exiled from our homeworld for heavy crimes. They know of no law, they are anarchists! For years, they have made the Dark Passage unsafe. Our business here is to make this part of space safe once more, but we saw they beamed over your captain, so for now we cannot destroy them.
Don't worry about your captain for now, they will first try to convince him of their terroristical cause, before they will use harsher means. By the time it comes that far, I'm sure we can have a rescue plan ready. If you would allow me to come aboard your ship, we could discuss the situation more properly than over this communication system, and I can explain you things better, and we can device a plan to get your captain back."

[Roland Burma]

*just about to get to regular duties he hears something over the comm-link*

Asylum?  If you formally request it then we can keep you on board, but your Loxian government friends need to know that all of you wish for asylum and are not being ordered by their superior

I must apologize for my earlier actions, I wasn't feeling well.  But now that has changed.

I will grant you asylum, but don't get your hopes up, the Loxian Government might try to force you off.

[Will Robinson]

Will pounces one of the Loxian Soldiers. They struggled; fell into Kowan and Burma.

Will kept the soldier pinned down til Rasmain brought him a pair of wrist binders.

[Roland Burma]

OFF: Excellent! *rubs hands together* http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[Niles]

Well shall we go?

[Rasmain]

*Reads the data on his console*

"Captain, we are receiving a distress signal...origin is Loxian Space"

[Skon]

Sir, I don't know which Loxian ship the transporter signal came from. The interference from the asteroid field makes it impossible to pinpoint the exact location. All I know is that it came from the area of those three ships, but I don't know whether the Captain is on one of the Loxian military ships or if he's on the Tazay.
