Kommodore Braun gazed out the window as the white and black swirl of warp fell away to reveal realspace, the area ahead of his vessel occupied by eight other Kreigsmarine vessels with another five quickly joining them. At least none of them were Scinfaxi, that was what mattered. "Sir, all ships have secured from jump and are awaiting your orders" reported fregattenkapitän Scheer "sensors have picked up a single vessel of unknown design orbiting a planet further in the system. It's metallic sir with no discernible biological components".
Braun released a breath he hadn't known he was holding. "At least it's not those monsters, have the task group come to alert and jump us in closer" ordered Braun, his eyes fixed on the sensor monitor above him "I want no targeting solutions made. No ship is to have it's weapons on that vessel unless it makes a hostile move".
"Understood" came the reply from Scheer "jump in 3, 2, 1. Jump". With that space seemed to stretch forward and the black/white swirl of warp came up to greet the force for the few seconds they would be travelling.
