officer and shouted, “Get me the Zalon Outpost, Now!”
    As the officer worked his controls, Capt. Anthis shouted to first officer Balfor, “Eradicate everything: all materials, all cultures.”
    “Yes Sir,” he responded.
    “Sir, I’ve raised the Zalon Outpost,” the communications officer shouted.
    “Good work. Bring them up on screen,” he directed.
    In seconds, Zeus’ face appeared on the large computer screen at the head of the command bridge. His demeanor seemed excited, and carried a look of anticipation.
    “ Good to see you, Capt. Anthis. We’ve been waiting on your arrival… impatiently, I might add,” he stated in light hearted tone. “I trust your voyage has been uneventful.”
    “Zeus, we’re under attack!” Capt. Anthis blurted loudly. “We’re about to be boarded by an Endorian destroyer. We’ll try to hold them off as long as we can, but I’m afraid Zalon has been compromised. It’s only a matter of time before they locate and destroy the base. You must evacuate immediately.”
    “Oh No!” Zeus shouted back in horror. “How much time do we have?”
    “ Minutes only, Sir,” Capt. Anthis shouted, anxiously.
    Zeus’ mind raced frantically . He could see the intensity in Capt. Anthis’ face. Suddenly, the screen went blank and the captain was gone. Zeus stared momentarily in disbelief, then sprang to action.
    “Poseidon!” Zeus shouted from across the lab, “The Endorians will be here shortly. Sound the alarm. Evacuate immediately!”
    “Endorians? How? Where?” Posiedon shouted back, the reality of Zeus’ words still not registering.
    “I’ll explain later. Sound the alarm. We have only minutes to evacuate. I’ll transfer the data to the transport,” Zeus responded, now rushing to a vacant computer.
    Poseidon hurried to a wall and flipped open a cover concealing a large button. He slammed his hand against it. Instantly, lights began to flash and alarms sounded. He pressed another button under the cover and shouted into a flush-mounted microphone.
    “Attention, all personnel! Endorians are attacking. Evacuate immediately,” he shouted, his tone controlled but panicked. “Repeat: Evacuate Immediately!”
    As Zeus typed frantically into his computer, Poseido n rushed to his own and began the sequence to destroy all data.
    Suddenly, they felt a shudder. Then another. Zeus glanced to his brother. His eyes relayed his fears.
    “We’re too late. They’re here!” Poseidon shouted.
    “Hurry, to the transport!” he yelled back.
    Zeus ran to the main control unit and pulled his crystal scepter. Instantly, all power ceased and the lights went dark. He rotated his hand slightly, illuminating the scepter’s shaft, providing enough light to see. Insta ntly, the two rushed to an open doorway that led to their waiting vehicle. As they stepped inside the transport, Zeus inserted the point of the scepter into the diamond-shaped hole and squeezed the handle. All lights illuminated.
    Looking up through the cockpit windows, the two stared at the Endorian destroyer that loomed menacingly above the outpost. They could see a lighted beam that shined from a lower weapons platform.
    “They’re using pulse energy. They’re killing everyone inside,” Poseidon shouted in horror.
    “I know. They must have intercepted our transmissions. They won’t destroy this place until they have all our research,” Zeus responded, rushing to powering up the craft.
    As Poseidon ran his hand over several switches, the door to the transport closed. Zeus moved the controls and inched back from the docking station. In seconds, their movement was detected. The Endorian ship angled their weapon toward the transport. Zeus and Poseidon cried out in pain as a pulse of energy shot through their bodies.
    “Zeus, they’re killing us. Get us out of here,” Poseidon groaned through clenched teeth.
    “I’m trying,” Zeus responded, struggling to overcome his agony. “I can barely move my hands.”
