Kang considered the sinister "New Post" button with caution. Not really knowing what to expect. Hesitantly he reached for the malevolently glowing thing. Gritting his teeth, his finger made contact with the static charged object. He was not surprised at the strange sensation that something deadly awaited them all. "No," he thought to himself. "It's too late to turn back now." With a final thrust of his hand, the button clicked.

"Well?" Captain Moreno asked with an annoyed look on her face.

Kang waved her off. "Nothing seems to be out of place. I guess now we wait."

"Humph..., Why is it that I always seem to be waiting when I'm with you?"

"Because dear Amanda, I know how much you enjoy staring at that incredibly exciting data terminal."

"I'd rather be back on the 'Travesty' shooting at something."

Kang looked at her in amusement. "You'll be back on your precious ship soon enough, don't worry."

He grinned and turned back to the wall-screen, looking for anything out of place. He noticed the captain from the corner of his eye as she slumped over the desk and rested her chin in an upturned palm with a sigh. "There'd better be some action after all of this."

"I'm sure there will be, Captain. I'm sure there will be.

Shadowwire rocked back in his commanders chair and raised an eyebrow. What he saw on his data terminal seemed to wisper of an impending flood of information that would soon come. What would it be? He found himself daydreaming of what the future might bring. "The future." he mumbled.
"Is everything ok commander?" asked Vorn, Shadowwire's Assistant.
Shadowwire was shaken from his state of ponderment. "What? Oh yes. Everything is fine... Everything is just fine." He eyed the main view screen one last time, quickly got up from his seat and headed for the exit. He paused at the blast door and turned. "Vorn, our course is set, make preparations and take us out." He paused as if searching for the right words. "We have a long way to go."

The beeping could be heard from across the room. It was loud, annoying, and wouldn't stop. Salvaggio glanced up quickly, annoyed at the interuption. He quickly lept from his chair and ran to the terminal.
A new blog post, from Kang of all people.
"Hmm, I'll have to read that..." He switched off the alarm, and pleased with the renewed silence, quickly ran back to his chair, and resumed his game of NCAA Football 2007.
