East Engines active in 3...2...1...

East Engines are now firing.

Accelerating to level 1 speed... successful.

Ion's forces are moving into position beneath us and will match our speed and course.

Felishon forces are retreating.

They understand they can't get within a certain distance of us. How long until we arrive?

Estimated 8 bells, as you requested, sir.

Begin energy charging of the combat shields during the travel. Signal that civilian power consumption will drop 50% until further notice.

Sir, should we signal to the security forces to begin readyness?

Yes, but we aren't going to make the first strike. I want them ready if Felishon tries something.

We're merely delivering Felishon some cargo.
