Chapter 4

I learned a lot from Dr. Femna and her staff of nurses while they conducted their tests on me. One of the main things I learned that I wanted to know about the most, their ship. Dr. Femna said that the ship is a deep space exploration class ship. They are armed to the teeth with twenty laser banks, eight proton canons, ten missile tubes, twenty five fighters, and the strongest shield they could place into the ship. Femna said that they were not always armed; they used to just have a few fighters, some lasers, and their shields to protect them. However, about a hundred or so years ago her people ran into the Salwan near the end of a 50 year mission just like the one that they are currently on. The vessel was totally destroyed by the Salwan. The Doc said that the Salwan are very xenophobic. And after the ship was destroyed they searched out where the ship had come from and systematically started to kill everyone they came across. She said it was horrible what they did. They had picked the wreckage of the exploration ship clean of any information they could find. They found their navigation log, and from that they found the two pre-space races that the exploration ship had made first contact with, and totally annihilated them.
