The Sknorr weapons officer gazed his captain. "Sir. The cruiser is maintaining its course. Should I hail him again?" "No. Let him pass. He has no quarrel with us." "Sir! That is against the protocol. If he doesn't answer, we should fire against it." The Captain raised his voice a little. "Oh, should we now?! And be probably crippled in the fight that surely would follow?" The weapons officer almost grasped. "That little cruiser?! Cripple us?" The Captain smiled with is hair. "That's a Milady Class Light Cruiser from the 88sector you stupid chicken." The Weapons Officer raised his hair questioning. The Captain endulged him. "It has the speed of a frigate and the firepower of a heavy cruiser. And the human women that crew that ship are crazy and veterans. Our battleship would probably win, but not without heavy damage. Let it go. It has different targets." The weapon officer looked back to the cruiser. The captain hissed in respect. "That excellent little cruiser."
