"Captain, a huge robot-type ship has appeared."
"Onscreen." Beepbeep." What in tarnation is that?"
"I don't know, Captain."
"Any life forms?"
"One for sure, human."
"What do you mean, for sure? Is there evidence of others?"
"Not really, yet yes. If it is indeed a robot…then it has a brain."
"Try hailing them."
"They are responding. Should we open a channel?"
"Visual." On the ship's screen, a brown-haired young man of about 15 had appeared, wearing a space suit and sitting at the controls of the …whatever it was. "This is Captain Janeway of the Starship Voyager. Who are you, if I may ask?"
"My name is Heero Yuy. I am the Pilot of the Gundam Wing Zero. If you are not in the battle for or against OZ, I suggest you leave now."
"I don't understand. What or who is OZ?"
"Captain, another of the robots is hailing us. Shall we split screen?"
"Yes." Now a longhaired boy had appeared, his brown hair plaited into a braid, a crazy look on his face. "I am Captain-"
"-Janeway of the Starship Voyager. I know. I'm Duo Maxwell. Pleased to meetcha." The boy's casual manner threw her off. A voice could be heard over the channel in…Heero's…robot.
"Heero, Wufei's been shot down, plummeting to Earth. It was one of the Mobile Suits, a…Leo, I think."
"Thanks, Quatre. Tell Noin, she'll be able to make it in the Mercurius."
"Will do. Heero…be careful."
"I always am. I'm a Gundam Pilot, aren't I?"
"Okay. Quatre out." Janeway's face was startled. A huge explosion rocked the ship.
"Are we under attack?" the Captain demanded.
"No Captain. But there are many more of these...things…headed our way."
The emotionless boy, the one called Heero, spoke again. "As I said, I suggest you get out of here. You are civilians, but the Mobile dolls won't care about that. I don't want to be responsible for your deaths."
"Listen to the man, you guys. He knows what he's talkin' about. Me and him seen a lot more battles than you, lady, and I don't want to see you get hurt. I suggest you move right on out of here and go back to Earth. Ask for directions to the Sank kingdom. Trust me, ok?"
Another, different voice over the channel, this time directed at Duo. "Duo buddy, you'll want to get out of there. There are way too many Dolls for us to fight alone. We need back up. So we have to head back to Earth and pick up the Mercurius and the Vayeate. And tell that starship to get out of the way. I like Janeway, and I don't want her getting blown up. Oh, and Relena was held hostage by Dorothy Catalonia, but the Chameleons took care of that. So all's cool, except where you are. Duo, listen to me. GET OUT OF THERE!!!"
Heero's screen winked out.
"Will you at least tell me what those things you are flying in are called?" Janeway said.
"Gundams. Seeya!" Both screens went dead, and all the crew could see was the vast blackness of space.
"Let's do what he said, and get out of here. Take us backwards, Mr. Paris. But slowly."
"Will do. But what about Duo's instructions to go to the Sank Kingdom?"
"Alright. Set a course for Earth. But be careful. I don't want to be blown to bits. I doubt those Gundams or Mobile Dolls or whatever could even make a dent in our hull, but it doesn't hurt to be-" she was cut short by a huge explosion that shook the ship.
"Decks 3 to 5 have been completely blown off the ship!" Ensign Kim told the Captain.
"Get us out of here, Tom," Janeway said worriedly. "Commander, evacuate all decks. Transport them all down to Earth, as many as possible. I don't care how much energy we use up, just get them outta here!"
"Aye, Captain," the Maquee Commander said.
"Onscreen." Beepbeep." What in tarnation is that?"
"I don't know, Captain."
"Any life forms?"
"One for sure, human."
