Chapter 1 : Evasive Action, First half.

"Sir, enemies approaching." A man turned from the radar screen, "I recomend evasive action, they are three kilometers away and closing fast." The captain shook his head, "show me," he said turning to to the view port in front of him. A picture popped up, all he could see was stars and void.
Suddenley the view magnified and a starship appeared. It was a massive one kilometer long compared to the Semper's mere nine hundred feet. The enemy warship bristled with hundreds of laser turrets and missile tubes.
"sir" the man at the radar station, First Lieutenant Avery, turned again, "collision in twenty-eight seconds captain!" Captain Vigilans nodded and turned to the weapons control port, "Johnson, get our G.O.D. charged immediatley."
Johnson shook his head, "sir, we can't get our G.O.D. charged in time." "Yes we can," Vigilans turned to the computer screen, "Computer, divert all power to the Gravitational Occilating Deconstructor now." The ship groaned and shuddered as the lights went out. "collision in ten seconds sir," Avery turned around, "sir, they have fired their missiles."
Vigilans took out a cigar and said, "fire port side emergency thrusters on my mark." Avery slowly counted down, "missile impact in four...three...two..." Now" Vigilans braced himself, the ship boomed and shuddered as the captain was thrown to the floor. Johnson turned, "G.O.D. is hot sir." "Fire," the ship rattled and shook, "Johnson, activate laser point defense, Avery let me see the enemy."
The view port popped on and Vigilans saw the ship. slowly it began to shake until, suddenly, it callapsed into a ball the size of of a football field in diameter. "Linda, activate shields now." The air crackled and popped as the electric magnetic shield kicked in. The captain turned back to the screen. The ball had continued to shrink and get hotter and hotter untill, at nearly three times the temperature of a non-supernova sun, it exploded. White hot metal flew everywhere.
