At TempleCon, life as it could be if only for a few hours /+Gallery

SOMEWHERE NEAR EARTH Capt. Ali Luckhardt stands on the bridge of the starship Chaos, her four officers seated at their combat stations in front of her as she tracks a hostile ship on the main view screen.

Go to red, she orders communications officer Chelsea Czekalski.

All decks reporting red alert, Czekalski replies with practiced calm.

Permission to fire? asks tactical officer Randall Ortubia.

Not yet, Luckhardt replies. We want to talk to them first.

But the enemy chooses to talk with missiles and photon torpedoes.

Raise shields, Luckhardt orders. Fire!

Missiles away, reports Ortubia.

But things dont go well.

Fire anything else we have, Luckhardt orders, desperation creeping into her voice.
