EVEN IF YOU CAN'T BELIEVE

PROLOGUE

"Another enemy?" Joey groaned, "Are you serious?"

"He's a Vulcan," Rai grunted, "It's not like he can do anything else!"

"Your amusing notions aside," Serek muttered, "There is still a starship on approach: Nebula Class, U.S.S. Aquila. I estimate ten minutes until contact,"

"Another guy wants to get beat up?" Joey scoffed, "Let em come!"

"So why don't we just fire up the ships cannons and blast them away?" Michelle asked.

"What are you brain-dead or something?" Kevin glared at her, "We've on Auxiliary power, and most of that's been diverted to life-support…"

"Anything from the Lift-ship?" Blue shot at Ran, causing the engineer to be cut short.

"The Sea's generating too much static," Ran muttered, "It's no good, I can't reach them,"
"So what do we do?" Joey looked at his leader expectantly.

"We'll leave things to the Vital Guarder," came the dull reply, "If they do something like that stunt earlier, we shouldn't have a problem,"

"What's going to happen?" Ami asked as I leaned back slightly.

"You're asking the wrong guy," I sighed as I rubbed my eyes, "I need to concentrate, can you go pester someone else?"

Ami looked slightly hurt, but nodded anyway, drifting off see what Katy was doing. Meanwhile, I suddenly caught Fina staring at me out of the corner of my eye, with an expression I could only describe as…pride.
