"... This is Technician Officer Leonard Cohen. How did you find this channel?" "This is Staff Seargent Carly Rodriquez requesting to be put through to Colonel Cooper." "Negative, Staff Seargent, we are unable to fulfill your request." "Make an exception, tell the Colonel who it is." "Yes Ma'am." There was silence for a few minutes before the voice of Cooper was heard. "Carly! How the hell have you been?!" "Very well, Jack. Currently holed up in the Alliance Base on Takatai. We need your assistance in pushing through an alliance with the Volus. If you could get to Harmony by tomorrow, I'm sure the Volus would be happy to meet you." "I'll do my best, Carly. Space around YF is rocky however -" The comms suddenly cut off, the console showing a sudden spike in magnetic energy around the area that was jamming the frequency. "Shit.... Thanks, trooper. That'll be all."
