Please read and reveiw! And for those of you noticing the similiar character names and writing style, it is me, The Extermination. I have forgotten my passcode for both my email and . But I'm back!

Carmen stood uneasily at the bridge of the PDNS (Planetary Defence Network Ship) Supreme Derenta (Identification Code 177245385) as it powered down its warp drive. She had no authority to commondeer or even stand on the bridge of the ship, however, after the invasion of the Decepter Droids, no one cared for authority. It was just being able to survive that mattered.

"Captain, I you may want to have a look at this."

Carmen turned to see a young, dark haired officer beckoning her over to his holoscreen. As Carmen saw the look in his blue eyes, she knew it wasn't going to be good news that he was needing to share.

"What is it?" She tried to say this calmly, so the morale of the crew wouldnot be hindered by her emotion. She had every right to curl up into a ball somewhere in the ship and cry herself to sleep after what she had seen. Plasma shells hitting buildings, ships, civilians... Droids marching through the streets targeting any living thing whether it defied them or not... Horrific burns on survivors... The pain of holding the hand of someone you've only known for five minutes as the came in a stretcher into the medbay... Or as you hold their hand 5 minutes after and you watch the life leave their cold, empty corpse.

"Captain?"

Carmen woke from her painful memories. She stood over the boy's shoulder and saw several blips and flashing red holobuttons.

"Hmm?"

"They found us. I'm tracking four unidentified ships within two lightyears from our current coordinates. At this rate, they'll be within our shooting range in two hours time."

"Then we have two hours to lock onto a nearby planet and hide. Get to work on i-"

"That may not be true, Captain."

Carmen felt the mood of the bridge drop to fear, and every pair of eyes as they fell on her.

"If these are Continuum Federation ships, then its not a question of when we'll be able to shoot them, but them us."

The boy shrank into his chair and gulped.

"They'll be able to fire the first shots within fifteen minutes, and based on the records of previous battles, destroy this ship in nineteen."

There was a short silence, as everybody knew they couldn't afford a long one.

"Then we must act quickly. Lock onto the planet I can see through the glass."

"But that planet is not of DOVE control! We would be leading the Decep-"

"We have no choice."

The boy sighed, then nodded.

"Setting a course for 2815, locally known as Earth."

"What country?"

"114, also known as Ireland."

"More details."

"We'll have to park the ship in the largest space available and engage the cloak, and that space appears to be known as Fowl Manor, owned by one Artemis Fowl."
