 "Xa duch!" one of the Boratis said, a little breathless, from where he
 was monitoring the LIDAR sensor panel in the Fourth Chamber Control
 Center, aboard Xanadu.

 Lieutenant Burroughs, commanding gamma shift in the Fourth Chamber,
 was at the young exchange officer's side in a second.  "You have
 something for me, Ensign?" he asked.

 The Boratis officer looked over his shoulder.  "Yes, Lieutenant. 
 Incoming contact.  From down the corridor.  Very large.  Very fast." 
 He turned back to his board.  "If I am reading these sensors
 correctly, it will be upon us within the hour."  Burroughs leaned over
 the display himself, then nodded in agreement.

 "Concur.  Yellow alert!" Burroughs called, straightening up.  He then
 turned to one of the technicians nearby.  "Tech, let's wake Captain
 Drexler and get him down here."
