"Academy Control to seeker,"
Gampu's voice came over the static as the camera panned closer toward the academy then lowered down toward the sides. It went through one of the docking bay doors then into the docking bay coming closer toward a seeker and right through the window revealing unfamiliar cadets with blue shirts at stations ranging in age. The uniforms were made of silver plating in a way more so resembling a space suit styled to resemble a jacket and trousers. The blue shirts had turtle necks that had a breast pocket standing out from the wide oval gap exposing their chests.
"Come in,"
Gampu's face appeared on the screen in a stylized uniform similar to the cadets except it was a darker blue.
"Seeker here," May said.
"May?" Gampu was bewildered. "What are you doing in there?"
"We got everyone in attendance," Obsto said.
"Everyone?" Gampu said. "I authorized cadets Obsto and Tusk not the entire Scooby Doo gang to go."
May grinned with a nod looking toward Gampu on the screen.
"It's our last mission going together as a academy authorized team," Obsto said. "I accepted them to board our ship."
"How can we stand aside on our graduation day while they go out and not have someone to see it with?" Lilly asked, with a chuckle.
"It is unwise to do it alone," Tusk said. "I would have been ambushed for doing that alone with just Obsto," Tusk shrugged. "As you can see."
The group shared bouts of snickers.
"What brings you to call?" May asked. "You never do that."
"Concern," Gampu said. "Are you certain that this can be pulled off, safely, on your graduation date?"
"We are certain," Tusk said.
"I wanted to hear that you were sure about pulling it off," Gampu said. "Asking me to do it is one thing. Doing is another. The last time you attempted this resulted in. . ." he briefly raised his brows. "a very unsuccessful mission."
"You can relax," Obsto said.
"It won't be like last time," Tusk said.
"We give our word," Lilly said.
"We have done this many times, commander," May said.
"Besides, that was four years ago," Tusk said.
"But this time is different," Gampu said.
"On the scale of it," May said. "It is but not as dangerous."
"Trying to clear out space junk from a new civilization that has just joined the federation is not a task to be taken lightly," The docking ramp lifted the seeker up. "Their international space station is quite armed."
"I am ready for that, Commander," May said.
"Commander," Peepo called from the back. "Zian, Lilly, Turk, and Obsto are ready."
Gampu mulled it over then had a short nod.
"This is your final mission under my commander, cadets," Gampu said. "Your graduation is in one hour and four minutes," the seeker came to a stop at the top with the commander's face across from the cadets on the screen. Obsto was seated in the navigation chair across from May the pilot. "Be careful."
"Oraco, Commander," May said.
"This is your last test," Gampu said, while the younger man set in his late thirties put in the course. "From the space academy for a very long time. Academy control out."
Gampu's face vanished off the screen.
"Setting in the course."
With that, the seeker flew out of the academy then fled into space.
