Yuva'zag mothership. Three Yuva'zag walk down a corridor and stop at a terminal and activate it.

"Here we go. A map of the entire ship." says one Yuva'zag with Maverick's voice. Thanks to the changeling belts they're now disguised as Yuva'zag.

"Weapons control. Midnight, you take that job."

"Right."

"Main engine room. Sarge you got that one...and say what's this? Soldier Generation Room? This one's mine. Spread out gentlemen."

They leave the terminal and spread out. Corrdior outside engine room. Sarge walks up to the main doors which is guarded by another Yuva'zag.

"Can I help you?" says the guard

"I sure hope so. I'm new and I'm looking for the engine room."

"Ah, just emerged from the tanks huh? Right through here. But I need to see your ID and orders first."

"Oh, of course."

"And I need to clear it with my supervisor. One moment."

The Yuva'zag turns around to activate another terminal when Sarge makes his move and shoots the guard point blank. Sarge looks around to see if anyone heard before opening the door. The room is empty and he hauls the guard in and stuffs him in a corner. He then goes to a terminal and looks at the display, shutting off his changeling belt in the process. Unknown to him, another engineer walks in. Sarge doesn't see him but the engineer notices the dead guard. He sneaks up on him and only at the last minute does Sarge look behind him as the Yuva'zag jumps him. They struggle a little bit until Sarge throws him off, takes out his pistol and fires. The Yuva'zag jumps out of the way and the shot hits a console turning it into a slag heap. Alarms ring out as the Yuva'zag jumps him again and sinks his teeth into Sarge's shoulder. He yelps in pain and then falls. The Yuva'zag licks his chops as a security detail rushes in.

Maverick has to lean against the wall as a squad of security personel run past him.

"An engineer found an intruder in the engine room." says the squad leader "Fortunatly he killed him. We have to search the rest of the ship for more intruders."

Maverick gets a pained look on his face, then keeps going. He enters a room filled with clear containers, each with a Yuva'zag in various stages. A noise captures his attention and he hides behind some crates as several science type Yuva'zag drain the liquid out of one container and a Yuva'zag steps out. They hand him a pad.

"Your assignment and clearance. Get to work, for the glory of the Yuva'zag Entire."

"As you wish sir."

Maverick shakes his head in astonishment. He leaves the room and looks for an empty corridor.

"Midnight, can you here me?"

"Loud and clear."

"How are you coming with weapons control?"

"I'm inside the main room. I've just been recruited to man several guns. We're coming up on Rigel and the fleet."

"Then I suggest you get to work Midnight."

"I will sir. Count on me. By the way, what happened to Sarge?"

"Caught and killed I'm afriad."

"Midnight out."

Bridge, Yuva'zag mothership.

"Warleader Shivak! How did that intruder get aboard?"

"Unknown my leige. But he was taken care of. Here he is now."

"State your rank and name soldier."

"Engineer 2nd grade Krilk. I have had the honor of serving in the motherships engine room."

"Warleader Shivak, step closer."

"Yes my liege."

He suddenly trusts forward. Shivak's eyes widen and he looks down, a knife embedded in his chest. Shivak groans and then collapses.

"Engineer Krilk, you are hearby promoted to Warleader. Do not fail me like Shivak did."

"Thank you my leige. I will not fail you."

"See that you don't."

"Warleader Krilk" says Kossta "The Federation/Allied fleet is approaching us, weapons armed."

"Launch all fighter craft and prepare the weapons. We will destroy their fleet and proceed until we take over the entire Federation."

****

Heavy cruiser T.F.S. Churchill, Admiral Kylen Harvick's flagship.

"Captain Gordon?"

"Yuva'zag fighters launching admiral."

"All Corregidor wings engage those fighters, all other ships engage the flagship. Break formations and attack!"

****

"Midnight, if your going to do something do it now!"

"Computer virus placed inside weapons computer. Coming online...now!"

****

"Our weapons have gone dead!" says Kossta.

"What?! How is that possible?!"

****

"Midnight, talk to me. What's going on?"

The sound of a struggle is heard, then weapons fire. Static fills Mavericks earphones and he rips them off. He goes to a terminal and turns it on. He copies some information and then taps his forearm and disappears.

****

Maverick transports onto the bridge of the Churchill.

"Colonel Maverick!" says Harvick

"Admiral, I have here vital information on the Yuva'zag mothership. Are there any Corregidor class ships close to it?"

"Negative. But a small force of destroyers is trying to strafe it. Shields are inpeneratable."

"Not with these. Transmit these frequencies to the destroyers, quickly."

"This is Captain Gordon to destroyers Stroud, Bixby, Jenks, Owasso and Guthrie, set your lasers on the frequency we are transmitting."

"It's working captain! We're hitting them!"

The bridge crew erupts into cheers.

****

Bridge, Yuva'zag mothership. Sparks fly and consoles smoke.

"They have our shield frquencies! How?!"

"Unknown my liege! Compensate Kossta!

"I can't! We have to get out of here!"

"Signal the fighters to return. We are heading back to Aldebaran!"

"Krilk!"

"My life is in your talons my liege."

****

The bridge of the Churchill. The entire crew is cheering.

"To all ship, stand down. Fine work Mr. Maverick."

"Thank you admiral."

****

"Mr. Hawk, is the new ship ready for deployment?"

"Yes admiral. We can use it at any time."

"Which will be as soon as possible, thanks to Maverick."
