(A/N: Thanks for the reviews, and I'll try to make my location descriptions better from now on. But anyway on to...)

Chapter 3: Preperations

Location: Juggernaught docking bay 237

"Okay, everything you said in the last 2 hours, sum that up into 3 sentences." David teased.

"The main assault ships or Strike ships are the most numerous, are in a trapezoid shape, and carry formidable charge cannon on the underside. Escort Tanks are largest, second only to the Juggernaught, and are almost completely hollow, because they carry 3 Strike ships, 15 Avengers, and 300 fighters. The last major vessels are the Avengers, at first they appear as just huge oddly shapped supply vessel, but open up to reveal over 2,500 cannons, all facing different directions, so in a swarm of fighters, it can't miss." The flight commander said.

"Wow that was three sentences."

"In here we have "BIO vessels", ships designed to carry animals into combat, usually in atmosphere locations, so we can use their ability's to fight." When the door opened Aileta got the shock of her life. The nearest ship in large froom was being loaded with hundreds of Metroids; all of them didn't even have a cage.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?" David yelled.

"This is the BIO vessel 'Parasite'. It carri..."

"NO, WHAT ARE THOSE THINGS DOING WITHOUT CAGES!?"

"Oh, well if you look at the handlers they are carrying special rods with a crystal at the end. These crystals emit a special Alpha radiation that hypnotizes the creature into following it. They are completely docile." He said.

"Well...what if one of those things breaks?" David probed.

"That's not a problem." The man pointed toward the ceiling, "every light on every ship is equipped with these crystals. The Metroids are peaceful 30/10."

"What's 30/10?"

"Official Space time; 30 hours a day, 10 days a week."

"Oh...can I talk to you for a minute, sir."

"Of course." David and the Flight commander out of earshot of Aileta, while she engaged conversation with a Soakian, which looked like a small Electrifying with 4 tails, each had a long spike in the end. The tails were even more versatile than a human hand, making them exelent mechanics. In fact, they were the one's who built the Juggernaught.

"Listen" David started, "Aileta had a few bad encounters with Metroids and is completely terrified of them. So, can you try to keep those things as far away from her as possible?"

"I'll try, but I can't promise anything."

"God this little problem is going to have devastating results, if she can't get over it."

"Might I suggest a special counselor, to help her with this?"

"Consider yourself promoted, but I think I'll take the job of councilor. Have a training room set up for me with a "disposable" Metroid in it by the end of you tour."

"Yes sir"

Location: Unkown

"So you say assault ship455 simply turned off in the middle of battle?"

"Yes sir but only after the Juggernaught use a strange hook to penetrate the armor plating."

"I see must be a new form of technology to them. Mabey even a form of hacking. You are dismissed." Sahathroe turned to the computer as his reporting officer left the room. "Computer, create virus. Effect, transport virus activator to scanner 26. Effect needed to activate virus, any and all hackers inserting code: DODRAINDO into this ships mainframe. Virus name, Code: SNAKE."
