Description

Sparrow “Commander, we have just intercepted an incoming message on a secure line.” “Put it on speaker, Ensign.” “Sir, yes sir.” “Momma Bird come in Momma Bird this is Sparrow, over.” “This is Momma Bird, go ahead Sparrow, over.” “Ensign, find out where those messages are coming from.” “They both appear to be coming from within the Outpost.” “Where in the Outpost, Ensign?” “I’ll have that information in a minute Sir.” “Make it a second, Ensign.” “Sir, yes sir.” Static over the speakers indicates that further communication is to begin. “Momma Bird, I’m coming in to roost. Have the nest ready. Have the worms been released?

Let’s give “Sparrow” a welcome they won’t forget. Sound the intruder alarm and have the Rapiers report to the maintenance room at once.” As the klaxons sound, Momma Bird straps on her armor and heads for maintenance, “ No one but no one is hurting my baby bird!” (To be continued)
