"Two hours to the Tauk System, sir," relayed Screw to Atwat over the comlink. "We will drop out of N-Space in one hour and we should be above the elliptical plane of the planet." "Very good ...

Private Enn Taroth had already accepted that he was pretty much fucked. As soon as he slid shakily into the chair provided for him by the inquiry board, he could feel it.
